Daniel 8:3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had [two] horns: and the [two] horns [were] high; but one [was] higher than the other, and the higher came up last.8:4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither [was there any] that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.

Daniel 8:5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat [had] a notable horn between his eyes. 8:6 And he came to the ram that had [two] horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power. 8:7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

The Goat Slays the Ram 8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.

Introduction of the Little HornDan. 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant [land].

If it goes toward the east it must come from the west. Rome was west of all the other nations in all the prophecies

This Little Horn is Pagan RomeRome was the next world EmpireIt came upon the scene in 168 B.C. and lasted until 476 or for 644 years.Rome comes in two phases. Pagan - PapalPapal Rome came upon the scene:508 Religious establishment 1290 year prophecy extends to 1798 538 Political establishment - 1260 year prophecy. Had a deadly wound (1798) Politically gone

The VisionDan. 8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. 8:9 And out of one of them {antecedent is winds }came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant [land].

Consider The Time Of The Vision Verse 2 I saw in a vision.Media Persia 207Grecia 168Pagan Rome 644Papal Rome 1290 1260 2309 years 2279The vision deals with four mighty world powers. You can see immediately that the prophecy has to deal with years and not days.

The Key to the ProphecyEze. 4:6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. Num. 14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

How Long Shall Be The Vision?Remember vision deals with world Empiresmany years.Daniel 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

2300 Days Cleansed2300 cleansing daysOr2300 Atonement days2300 Atonements would be 2300 years as one Atonement day a year.

Points To RememberWhen this vision was given, Israel was in captivity and there was no Sanctuary at Jerusalem.Nevertheless we can learn from the former Sanctuary principles to see what the cleansing of the Sanctuary indicates.The cleansing of the Sanctuary is after these world Empires have expired or 2300 years later. Then the sanctuary is to be cleansed This would be after Pagan Roman Empire that fell in 476 A.D. and the Papal Roman Empire fell in 1798.Once again, this would be at a time when there is no worldly Sanctuary.The only Sanctuary at that time was the heavenly.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Who is Talking? Dan. 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain [saint] which spake, How long [shall be] the vision [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? Who are these two saints? (saints means holy ones to two celestial beings)Answer: verse 16 Gabriel make this man to understand the visionWho tells Gabriel what to do? It is Jesus!Thus it is Jesus who gives the 2300 year prophecy.Note how Christ-centered is the prophecy.

What did the different sections of the sanctuary and their ceremonies mean?

THE COURTYARD Surrounding the sanctuary, was the place where all sacrifices were made. These all pointed forward to Christ's one sacrifice - His death on the cross.

*

*

THE HOLY PLACE: While the courtyard was the place of sacrifice, the Holy Place was the place of intercession. Only the priests, symbolising Christ, could enter the Holy Place to approach God. The holy place is usually referred to as the first apartment of the sanctuary.

The Heart of the Sanctuary The Most Holy 1. Sanctuary deals with the sin problem2. The Law in the Ark reveals sin3. The Law is untouchable and eternal4. Only an antichrist would be brazen enough to try to tamper with the Law of God5. The final Day of Atonement does not come until Jesus appears at His second coming6. That will be the time of the final eradication of sin from the heavenly Sanctuary

What Does The Vision Include?Verse.13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain [saint] which spake, How long [shall be] the vision [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? Note there are four items mentioned in the visionConcerning the daily . Transgression of desolation and the sanctuary trodden under foot. The host.1. Concerning the daily (continual)A. intercessory ministry of Jesus as our High Priest2. Transgression of desolationA. This terminology is the same as Abomination of desolationB. Mentioned four times in the book of DanielDan. 8:13 9:27 11:31 12:11One time to Pagan Rome .. Three times to Papal RomeDan. 9:27 Pagan Rome (At the time of Jesus Matt. 24:15)

Transgression of Desolaltion

A. This terminology is the same as Abomination of desolationB. Mentioned four times in the book of DanielDan. 8:13 9:27 11:31 12:11One time to Pagan Rome .. Three times to Papal RomeDan. 9:27 Pagan Rome At the time of Jesus Matt. 24:15

The Vision Includes Four Itemson the Antichrists Agenda3. The Sanctuarya. Deals with the sin problem4. The Host :Trodden under foot By the little hornThese activities were to continue until the cleansing of the Sanctuary

The 2300 Year prophecyDan. 8:13 During the Middle Ages or during the 2300 year prophecy

Dan.11:31 & 12:11 both point to the time when the abomination is set up. The word they indicates two powers working together to take away the daily. (political and religious)The date was 508 when the Arian Christian element gave in to the dominant Catholic power and the Papal priesthood was set up with the confessional box. This took the place of Jesus forgiving sin in heaven.The Catholic Priesthood is the abomination of desolation and it took away the daily (continual) intercessory work of Jesus in the heavenly sanctuary. This is how the Sanctuary was trodden under foot.

How Does the Cleansing Work?There four things to be cleansed1. The Daily2. The Abomination of Desolation3. The Cleansing of the Sanctuary \ Atonement4. the Host - The persecuted saints during Papal reignAll four deal with the Sanctuary cleansing. Although our emphasis has been on the judgment cleansing of the Sanctuary, these four are part of the 2300 year prophecy message that was to be corrected.

The Time ElementWhen does the prophecy start?Dan. 9:23 9:23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. The only vision in consideration is Daniel 8 or the 2300 year Prophecy There is a breakdown for the time element 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, (offerings) and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Here is the Beginning PointVerse 25 9:25 Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: The decree to rebuild was in the year 457 B.C. In the fall of the year. (Ezra 6:14)It is important to remember that the prophecy started in the fall.

Simple Arithmetic2300-4571843 Add the 0 year and you have 1844To cleans the Sanctuary was only done on the Day of Atonement. The Sanctuary was cleansed from all sin by the High Priest. We are dealing with the heavenly sanctuary, this side of the cross and this tells us that Judgment started on the house of God in 1844. The Day of Atonement, cleansing of Sanctuary, in 1844 was on October 22.

Some more ArithmeticDan. 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined (cut off) upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 70 weeks times 7 = 490 457 33 A.D. The stoning of Steven . Gospel to the gentilesThis prophecy tells us when the Jews, as a nation were to be cut off. 34 A.D. { Determined = Cut off }The Jews dont like the book of Daniel

Some more Arithmetic Verse 25: 69 weeks x 7= 483 years of the 490 483 B.C. 457 26 A.D. Deals specifically with the MessiahVerse 27 sacrifice to cease in midst of 70th week

3 1\2 3 1\2Ministry To the Gentiles

The 69th WeekThe ministry of Jesus started at end of the 69th week or 483 years after the beginning date of 457 B. C. = 27 A.D.Dan. 9:25 9:25 Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks:69 weeks times 7 or 483 years brings you down to 27 A.D.This was the beginning of the ministry of Jesus. Verse 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, In the midst of the week = 3 1\2 yrs. Ministry of JesusSacrifice = Jesus Oblation = Ceremonial service ceases

At the CrossMessiah to be cut off in the midst of the week or after 3 1\2 years of ministryHe died in the spring at Easter time. Therefore, considering the 1\2 year, His ministry had to start in the fall. It started when he was 30 years of age. Therefore the birth of Jesus had to be in the fall. (probably September or October) This prophecy is exact even to the season of the year. The prophecy started in the fall of 457 B.C.The prophecy was confirmed in midst of weekThe ministry of Jesus was 3 1\2 years.

Put The Time Element Of The Vision All TogetherAdd it upThe 490 years brought us down to the fall of 34 A.D.Take the 490 years from the 2300 and you have 1810 years left.Add the 1810 years to the 34 and you come to the 1844 date once again.
