Daniel 8:9 Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land. 10 It grew until it reached the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth and trampled on them. 11 It set itself up to be as great as the Prince of the host; it took away the daily sacrifice from him, and the place of his sanctuary was brought low. 12 Because of rebellion, the host of the saints and the daily sacrifice were given over to it. It prospered in everything it did, and truth was thrown to the ground. 13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, "How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled--the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, and the surrender of the sanctuary and of the host that will be trampled underfoot?" 14 He said to me, "It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated." |
Daniel 9:26-29.... The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. " |
Daniel 12:11-12 "From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days. |
| | | ========+ Day 1 | Signing of a treaty that allows daily sacrifices in God's temple ========+ ^ | | | Evidence: | | | | Dan 9:27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' | | ...he will put an end to sacrifice and offering... | | | | | | The prediction does NOT say that the sacrifices will | | start IMMEDIATELY. The start of the sacrifices was NOT given | | DIRECTLY, it was given INDIRECTLY. And we have to make some | | assumptions to arrive at the starting date for Jewish sacrifice | | | |=======+ | | Day | Sacrifice BEGINS in God's temple | | 295 | Evidence: see below (click here) | |=======+ | | | | NOTE: the DURATION of Daniel's 70th week is NOT 7x360 days | | (1 day 1 year). Read the prophecy carefully: | | | | He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' | | | | The prophecy DID NOT say that it will LAST for one 'seven' !!! | | 1260 | days | | | | | v | ========+ Day | Sacrifice in Temple abolished 1260 | ========+ ^ | Evidence | | | | Dan 9:27: in the midst of the week (= 3.5 yrs 1260 days) | | he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease | | | | | | | | This point in time is significant and helps us to calculate | | the exact point in time when the "abomination" is set up | | in God's temple. According to Daniel 12:11: | | | | Daniel 12:11 "From the time that the daily sacrifice | | is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation | | is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 1290 | days | | | We are 1260 days from the start. And 1260 + 1290 2550 | | | | Conclusion: on the 2550th day, the abomination that causes | | desolation is set up | | | | | | v | ========+ Day | Anti-Christ sets up an ABOMINATION inside God's temple 2550 | (I suspect the Anti-Christ will enter the Holy of Holies) ========+ ^ | Evidence: (we just saw it above) | | | | Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice | | shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh | | desolate set up, there shall be a thousand | | two hundred and ninety (1290) days. | | | | | | 45 | days | | | | | | | | | v | ========+ Day | Christ 2nd coming ??? 2595 | I am not certain, but I do have some evidence ! ========+ | Evidence | | *************************************************************** | * Dan 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the * | * thousand three hundred and five and thirty (1335) days. * | *************************************************************** | | Notice that Daniel 12:12 say that 1335 days are | NOT easily tolerated (waits) | | The FIRST half of the 7x360 is a PEACE TIME. | There is NO effort getting through these 1260 days | | The SECOND half of the 7x360 is the real challenge | So if you get through these 1335 days (with is NOT | quite 3.5x360 days, but longer - as I mentioned before) | | The MOST important clue that I think this is the day of the | Second Coming of Jesus is from: | | *************************************************************** | * Rev 20:4 .... And I saw the souls of those who had * | * been beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for * | * the Word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast * | * nor his image, nor had received his mark on * | * their foreheads, nor in their hands. And they lived * | * and reigned with Christ a thousand years. * | *************************************************************** | | The Millenium Reign of Jesus is reserved for a SPECIAL | group of believers: ONLY those that endured PERSECUTION | for their faith will receive this special honor. | | | Now, in Daniel 12:12, the angel call those that | | "waiteth, and cometh" to the end of these 1335 days "BLESSED" - | | and these are who had not worshiped the beast | | nor his image, nor had received his mark on their foreheads, | | nor in their hands --- i.e., those who PERSERVERED | | ^ | Putting 2 and 2 together, I conclude that THIS is the point | | in time that Jesus will return.... | | | --------+--------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | When do the daily sacrifices start ? | | | | Now we can work BACKWARDS to find out the dates that: | | | | 1. when the daily sacrifices will begin | | | | According to Daniel 8:13-14 | | | | Daniel 8:13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another | | holy one said to him, "How long will it take for the vision | | to be fulfilled--the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, | | the rebellion that causes desolation, and the surrender of | | the sanctuary and of the host that will be trampled underfoot?" | | 14 He said to me, "It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings;---------------+ | then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated." | | According to these verses: | | the total time where daily sacrifice, abomination that causes | desolation, and the trampling of the host of saints will take | 2300 days. | | The trappling ENDS when Jesus returns (gathers His elect). | This period starts with the daily sacrifices... (I think this | event is the most likely one that starts this period) | Thus, we conclude that the Start of the daily sacrifices is | on this day: | | 2595 - 2300 Day 295 --------+---------------------------------------------------------------------
