In this article I am going to reveal the solved mystery of the 2300 days of Daniel 8 14. The verse states, “ Then I heard a holy one speaking and another holy one said to the one who spoke, ‘for how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled underfoot,” and it reads in verse 14, “ And he said to me for 2300 evenings and mornings then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state. This 2300 days has been interpreted by theologians as applying to a former king by the name of in in ancient times Antiochus Epiphranes. You even have Got Questions providing a commentary and their commentaries are usually very good that it also predicts some of the actions of Antiochus Epiphanes. Got Questions states, “the time period covered 2300 days figures to about six and a third years, we believe the prophecy was fulfilled before the birth of Christ during the reign of the Seleucid king Antiochus the fourth Epiphanes.”
So this is the verse- the mysterious 2 300 days and the theologians uniformly pretty much agree that this is past but we’re going to take a look again at the verse because this verse applies to the Tribulation and he’s speaking to Daniel. Then I heard a holy one speaking and another holy one said to the one who spoke for how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate– this is the abomination of desolation the Antichrist going into the Holy of Holies declaring that he is God- and the giving over of the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot. And he said to me for 2300 evenings and mornings then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state.
The evenings and mornings are a day, but notice that it says, then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state.
The meaning of the 2300 days is 2300 days. If we take the total number of days of the Tribulation- seven years- the 1260 and 1260 and we add them together we get 2520 days is the total days of the Tribulation. If we minus 2300 days from the total number of days of the Tribulation we then get 220 days or seven months. So what this means is that from the start of the Tribulation when the Antichrist signs the treaty and guarantees Israel’s peace, there will be seven months, and the Temple is going to be rebuilt because of this verse- because this verse states “for 2300 evenings and mornings, then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state. This lends us to get a big hint that the Antichrist is going to be behind the rebuilding of the Temple. He will make it possible in the treaty.
Seven months after the start of the Tribulation the Temple will be completed. This is what this verse is basically telling us and from the time the temple is completed and the sacrifices begin will be 2300 evenings and mornings until the end of the Tribulation because we know that after 1050 days the sacrifice will cease and that brings us to our 1260 and then the final three and a half years there is no sacrifice, there is the Antichrist saying that this is his Temple and I have done a show previously stating that most likely during this time the beheadings will be taking place of the martyrs at the Temple.
So let’s look at the verse now with this meaning. Then I heard a holy one speaking and another holy one said to the one who spoke for how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering the transgression that makes desolate. Its covering here from the start of the first burnt offering to the transgression that makes desolate the abomination of desolation and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled underfoot. This is the final three and a half years where the Antichrist is going to take charge of the Temple and also going to lay siege against Israel and against the Jews. And he said to me for 2300 evenings and mornings then shall the sanctuary be restored to its rightful state. The rightful state is once the second coming of Jesus comes and that temple that is initiated by the Antichrist is now destroyed and what will then exist is God’s Temple that we read about in the Revelation. So this verse is actually much more simpler than the theologians would have you believe it’s very simple it’s talking about the Tribulation period and what happens at the 2300 day mark which is the Temple is completed and the sacrifices begin but the verse also lets you know that at the end of the Tribulation the Temple will return to its rightful state which is not a Temple that the building was initiated by the Antichrist by this false covenant of peace by this abomination actually this agreement with hell and one in which he will desecrate or commit the abomination of desolation and so much more and then it states it will return to its rightful state.
As we get closer to the tribulation these seemingly very mysterious passages are now coming to light and hearing much more simple than in interpreting and figuring out what they mean than what was previously believed, so God bless folks remember don’t we don’t have a lot of time until the King returns.
