Steve:

In verse 25 there is M$YX NGYD, in verse 26 M$YX without NGYD. These
are two different individuals.

I already mentioned this in an earlier message.

Concerning the question whether the time spans were contiguous or not,
either all of them were, or none. All the time spans are given using
the same linguistic and literary structures, so if one can have a gap,
then it is possible that all of them have gaps. If all of them can
have gaps, then the use of this prophecy to indicate the approximate
year of Jesus' death and resurrection is meaningless. But if none of
the spans have gaps, then the Dispensationalist understanding is
wrong.
