AN ANGELIC CONVERSATION

While Daniel was pondering over the meaning of the "Vision" of the "Ram and He-Goat," he overheard a conversation between two "Saints" or "Holy Ones"�

"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? And he (the first Saint) said unto me (Daniel), unto TWO THOUSAND AND THREE HUNDRED DAYS; then shall the Sanctuary be cleansed." Da 8:13-14.

Before we proceed any further let us try to clear up the meaning of the "Two Thousand and Three Hundred Days." The Hebrew expression is not "days," but "evening-mornings," that is 2300 evening-morning sacrifices, which proves that actual days of twenty-four hours are intended. The question the second saint asked of the first was, "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?" This question was prompted by the previous statement, that the "Little Horn" would take away the "Daily Sacrifice,' and that the "Place of His Sanctuary" (the Temple) would be cast down, or desolated. The answer to the question was�"Unto two thousand and three hundred days." Now as these days are literal days, and date from the time when the "Daily Sacrifice" shall be taken away by the "Little Horn" (the Antichrist), which is in the "Middle" of Daniel's "Seventieth Week" (Da 9:27), then these 2300 days begin in the "Middle of the Week" and as the "Week" is seven years long, half the "Week" would be three and one-half years, or forty-two months of thirty days each, or 1260 days. This would make the 2300 days overrun the last "half of the Week 1040 days, or two years, ten months, and twenty days. And as the "Sanctuary" is not to be cleansed, or the "Daily Sacrifice" renewed until then, it would appear as if the Temple services are not to be reestablished until Ezekiel's Temple has been built. Eze 41:1�Eze 43:27.
