2300 Days

2300 Days

People easily misunderstand the 2300 days. If you read it carefully you will find the 2300 days is the time from when the temple is finished through to its desecration to the appearance of Christ.

Naturally the 2300 days include the 42 months of the Great Tribulation as well as the days preceding the Great Tribulation. Here is the calculation.

2300 - (42x30) = 1040.

1260 days in the first half of the Tribulation - 1040 = 220 days.

The temple will be completed 220 days after the saints are first raptured at the start of the 7 year Tribulation.

"How long shall be the vision [concerning] the continual [burnt-offering], and the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?" (Dan. 8.13). That is, including the time of offerings (first half of the Tribulation) and the making desolate (second half of the Tribulation).

Israel is sinning by returning to sacrificial offerings; as the last seven arrives, Antichrist will make a covenant with the children of Israel; but after three and a half years he will break the covenant and set up the idol image which is "the abomination of desolation."

The answer: "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed" (v.14).

So you see clearly here that the temple will be cleansed no later than the 1335th day when Israel receives her glory as the center of all nations, but certainly after the 1260th day of the Great Tribulation when Christ appears (Zech. 14.4).

Any questions?
