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 said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
(Daniel 8:13,14)
First, this prophecy was never fulfilled, because it is written that it refers to distant times:
And the vision of the evenings and mornings Which has been told is true; But as for you, keep the vision secret, Because it pertains to many days in the future. (Daniel 8:26 - NASB)
Second, this is a complex prophecy, the sum of 2300 evenings and mornings is formed by adding together the unequal parts for evenings and mornings. 1010 evenings and 1290 mornings together give 2300. But it is necessary to explain correctly what is the "abomination of desolation" for each evening, and what is the "abomination of desolation" for each morning.
It should be said right away that this prophecy cannot in any way relate to the Third Temple described in Ezekiel, chapters 40-48. Because there will be no daily evening sacrifices in Ezekiel's Temple.
"The evening sacrifice" is Jesus Christ, who died on the cross in the evening. The denial of this Sacrifice by Judaism is a sign of the "abomination of desolation" for each day of such denial.
The Day of the Lord, the Millennial Kingdom, begins in the "morning", with the entrance into the eastern gate of the Third Temple of the chosen saints, in whom Jesus Christ will be incarnated at the Second Coming. These saints from the nations are the "morning sacrifice" to God. The denial of this Sacrifice of the saints will be the "abomination of desolation" for each day of such denial. Only Judaism denies the "evening sacrifice" of Jesus Christ, but both Judaism and Christianity will deny the "morning sacrifice" of the saints.
"the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot" - "the sanctuary" is God in Jesus Christ, "the host" is the saints.
From what moment should the counting of the evenings and mornings of such denial of Christ and the saints begin?
There is a God-appointed time for the construction of the Third Temple. It was set in Daniel's prophecy of the weeks.
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. (Daniel 9:25)
of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem -
- "the commandment" - is spoken of as an oral command, in no way as a written decree!
- "to restore and to build Jerusalem" - it is said about the heavenly Jerusalem, not about the earthly one!
What is the heavenly Jerusalem? The definition of the heavenly (new) Jerusalem is given in the prophecy of Isaiah:
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
(Isaiah 65:17,18)
This is also written in Revelation:
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
(Revelation 21:1,2)
In both cases, it is not a literal heaven, nor a physical earth, nor a material Jerusalem. All of these things are located INSIDE the human heart: our ideas about heavenly things, our ideas about carnal things, our joy about the works of God in this world.
The New Jerusalem is a heavenly, spiritual city. It is located in another dimension, the dimension of the spirit. This "city" appears when our hearts are filled with the joy of the Lord.
Now that we know that the 69 weeks were to be initiated by a verbal command, not a written decree, and that the result of that command was to be joy in the hearts of believers, we solve the riddle of the 7 and 62 weeks.
The starting point for the period of 7 and 62 weeks is the oral command of King Artaxerxes, which he spoke to Esther and Mordecai on Nisan 16, 452 BCE. King Artaxerxes said:
Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse. (Esther 8:8)
And the result of this ORAL command was the resurrection of Jesus Christ, on the 16th of Nisan, 32 AD, exactly 7+62=69 weeks (483 years) after this command of the king.
Here we must also explain about the 7 weeks. The 7 ordinary weeks are counted from the First Sheaf, brought on the 16th of Nisan, until the holiday of Shavuot (Pentecost). This is a hint at the period after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, when the Holy Spirit came to the disciples.
The 70th week was not after the 7+62 weeks, but before that! This week began from the time of Esther's acceptance as a candidate for queen, when she was taken to the house under the supervision of the royal eunuchs.
So, all 70 weeks were fully fulfilled on 16 Nisan 32 A.D., in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. When on this day the disciples learned of the resurrection of their Teacher, their hearts were filled with joy, Jerusalem was restored in their hearts.
Therefore, the last verse of Daniel's prophecy speaks of a completely different week:
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, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (Daniel 9:27)
But first we must correct the mistranslation of this verse.
The Masoretic text does not contain the word "he" here. The correct translation could be:
And one week shall confirm the covenant for many, in the middle of the week the sacrifice and offering will cease, and on the surface of the sanctuary there will be an abomination of desolation, and the final, predestined destruction will befall the desolator. (Daniel 9:27 - my translation)
This "one week" is completely different from the usual 7-year cycles. It is a super-week, where the number of days in 7 standard lunar years is replaced by the number of years: 7 x 354 = 2,478 years. The counting starts from the same time as the 70 weeks: from Esther's admission into the house under the care of the king's eunuchs, from 459 BCE.
This super week ended in Nisan (March) 2020. The end of this period was marked by an exceptional event in world history: the global lockdown due to the Covid epidemic.

Then the usual, next seven-year week began, and the second half of this week began in the fall of 2023. Thus, the time was determined by which God expected the Jews and Christians to fulfill the prophecy of Ezekiel and build the Third Temple in accordance with His will.
It should be noted that the entire period of the super-week is divided into two parts: before the resurrection of Jesus Christ and after. Before the resurrection, 70 weeks passed. After the resurrection, 284 weeks passed. This is (70+1)x4. According to the law of Moses, a stolen sheep is paid four times (Exodus 22:1).
It turns out that the Jews have already paid four times, and another week has been overpaid as an advance payment. That is, Israel has acquired the right to dispose of the rest of the world at its own discretion. This gives the Jews the opportunity to build the Third Temple in accordance with the prophecy of Ezekiel.

The autumn holidays of the Lord begin on 1 Tishrei, with Yom Teruah (the feast of trumpets). On this day, the eastern gates of the Third Temple should open and the entrance of the chosen ones from the four winds into these gates should begin.
The Third Temple was not built by this date.
The saints were to enter the eastern gate of the Third Temple from Yom Teruah to Yom Kippur, 10 days. After the eastern gate was closed on Yom Kippur, the 7th trumpet would sound and it would be announced that the Lord God had entered that gate:
Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. (Ezekiel 44:2)
From this moment, from the 11th day of the 7th month of Tishrei, the countdown of the evenings and mornings of the “abomination of desolation” on the facade of the two religions that deny the Second Coming of Jesus Christ in this Temple was to begin.
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
(Daniel 8:13,14)
