Daniel's 1260 vs. 1290 vs. 1335 vs 2300 Days Prophecies (Abomination of Desolation Was the Crucifixion)

[Exegesis]

He was stabbed 23 times by the men who were supposed to protect him. That is dying in anger, as the anger was directed to him.

Barnes:

Neither in anger - Hebrew, “angers.” Not in any tumult or excitement, or by any rage of his subjects. This would certainly imply that his death would be a peaceful death.

Thanks @ewq1938 . An issue I have is the word 'destroyed':

Daniel 11:20 - "Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle."

Being destroyed does not sound like a 'peaceful death'.

What about the death of Pompey, who happened to be a raiser of taxes in the First Triumvirate. Do you know anything about that?

AI Overview:

• Pompey's Assassination: Hoping to gain Caesar's favor, King Ptolemy XIII of Egypt had Pompey assassinated and presented Caesar with his severed head upon his arrival in Alexandria in 48 BCE.

Pompey was not destroyed in a battle, nor through the anger of King Ptolemy XIII, but rather Pompey was destroyed to impress Caesar.

This was a big enough deal that it is in the history books and of course, in Cleopatra movies:

This would make Daniel 11:21 about Julius Caesar:

AI Overview:

If we were to reinterpret this verse as alluding to Julius Caesar, here's a possible approach:
Daniel 11:21: a reinterpretive lens

• "In his place a contemptible person will arise, to whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred": This could refer to Julius Caesar's ambitious rise to power, circumventing traditional political structures and eventually seizing control as dictator, rather than being granted rule through established means.
• "He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue": Caesar's political maneuvering and military campaigns, including his crossing of the Rubicon, which initiated a civil war and ultimately led to his dominance, could be viewed through this verse. The idea of seizing power through "intrigue" fits the political climate of the late Roman Republic where alliances and betrayals were common.

 

[Ronald D Milam]

The purpose of this thread is to discover what would happen if all of Daniel's 'days' prophecies were consistently interpreted using the Day/Year Principle:

"The day-year principle or year-for-a-day principle is a method of interpretation of Bible prophecy in which the word day in prophecy is considered to be symbolic of a year of actual time."

Day-year principle - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

This would include prophecies regarding the Two Witnesses found in the Book of Revelation. In other words, they prophecy for 1260 years.

This first post will cover the basic summaries. Further unpacking may be done later if time permits. A main goal is to keep this simple and to the point so that a child could understand it. No 'mental gymnastics' are required. No 'flip-flopping' between days and years to fit some preconceived notion.

Here is a condensed list of the various 'days' we find as well as their corresponding 'years':

• Revelation 11:11 - Three days and an half = 3-1/2 years
• Daniel 9:24 - Seventy Weeks = 490 years
• Daniel 7:25 - A time and times and the dividing of time = 1260 years
• Daniel 12:7 - A time, times, and an half = 1260 years
• Revelation 11:2 - Forty and two months = 1260 years
• Revelation 13:5 - Forty and two months = 1260 years
• Revelation 11:3 - A thousand two hundred and threescore days = 1260 years
• Revelation 12:6 - A thousand two hundred and threescore days = 1260 years
• Revelation 12:14 - A time, and times, and half a time = 1260 years
• Daniel 12:11 - A thousand two hundred and ninety days = 1290 years
• Daniel 8:14 - Two thousand and three hundred days = 2300 years

Please let me know if I missed any verses. We will start with the longest one, the 2300 days:



One of the most important aspects of interpreting these days/years correctly is to accurately determine the starting point. Since 2300 years is a long time for the Sanctuary to be cleansed, chances are these years already happened. Could the starting point be the Flood of Noah? Let us have a look:

Yes. According to the scholars, 2300 days would fit perfectly with the Flood of Noah. We have our first match. This would mean that the Sanctuary being cleansed would have happened during the time Jesus was alive. More specifically, it points to the Crucifixion as being the exact end date. The Preterists will be happy to hear this.

What about 1260 days/years? We turn to Revelation to get us started:



The 'wilderness' may be a reference to the wilderness that the Israelites fled to during the time of Moses. For 1260 years, the woman is 'nourished' until the birth of the Messiah. We have another match.

Two Witnesses?



The Two Witnesses are often interpreted as being symbolic of the Law and Prophets. Once again, we see that 1260 years fits perfectly from Moses to John the Baptist. This is another match.

What about the 3-1/2 days?



John the Baptist, the last of the Two Witnesses, was killed around the time Jesus began his ministry:

View attachment 65355​

3-1/2 years later, in the middle of the 70th week of Daniel, the Two Witnesses are raised during the Crucifixion. A great earthquake occurred:



The Two Witnesses came to life. Once again, everything matches with precise timing. Moreover, it all points to Jesus. Amen?

So far, what we see is that the 1260 days begins around the Exodus and ends with the birth of Jesus. Thirty years later, at 1290 in the timeline, Jesus begins his ministry:



This means that the Abomination of Desolation was being set up at that time:



Now we know with absolute clarity when this even occurred. The Abomination of Desolation was clearly the Crucifixion.

That leaves us with the 1335 years date, again starting at Exodus:



We all know what happened approximately 45 years after the Abomination of Desolation was set up...



Blessed were those that 'saw', i.e., understood the 1335 days prophecy and were able to leave and rebuild their lives before 70AD.

This is just soooooooo bad.

Every 1260 day mention is 1260 days at the end of the coming 70th week, save for the Two-witnesses and they are given a 1260 day ministry by God so we can Juxtapose their timings against the AC/Beasts timings. The 2 Wit. die at the 2nd Woe (6th Trump) just before the 7th Trump starts which is the 3rd Woe, which is all 7 Vials combined. So, we see the 1260 days of the 2 Wit. and Beast mostly overlap, but not in full, one shows up 1335 days before the 2nd coming ends all of these Wonders/Things and the Beast shows up at the 1260 which is 1260 days before all these Wonders/Things end. Thus there is a 75 day gap, why would that be? THINK, Malachi 4:5-6 and Zech. 13:8-9 AND Zech. 14:1-2 tells us. In the former Elijah is said to sent ack BEFORE the DOTL (which starts at the 1260) and thus the 1335 being 75 days before the 1260 would jibe. In Zech. 13:8-9 we see that 1/3 of the Jews repent, then in the very next verse in Zech. 14 we see the DOTL arrives, hmmmm, its really self explanatory. God weaved everything around the last 1260 day period, because it is the Wrath of God. Even the AC is the Wrath of God, read Isaiah 10, it says the Assyrian (AC) is the "Instrument of God's Wrath". That is why he can only rule for 1260 days.

The 2300 days is not DAYS, read the real text, its says 2300 Evening and Morning Sacrifices, that would cover only 1150 days.

IMO:
o "seven" = seven years, where a year is 360 days (Dan 9:24,25)
o "decree to rebuild" (Dan 9:26) was issued by King Cyrus (Ezra 1:2)
o date of the decree was March 5, 444 B.C.
o rebuilding was supervised by Nehemiah (Nehemiah 2:5)
o "coming ruler" (Dan 9:26) is entry of Jesus into Jerusalem (Luke 9:35)
o this entry was March 30, 30 A.D., 69 sevens after the decrees of Cyrus
o remaining "one seven" is reign of antichrist ("coming ruler," Dan 9:27)
o "one seven" will begin at a time future to today
o "one seven" is sometimes called "end times"

Also, the seven years of Daniel 9:27 coincides with the seven years of Ezekiel 39:9 that follow the Gog/Magog event.

One of the most important aspects of interpreting these days/years correctly is to accurately determine the starting point. Since 2300 years is a long time for the Sanctuary to be cleansed, chances are these years already happened. Could the starting point be the Flood of Noah? Let us have a look:

One should not interpret the days as years always. that is bad exegesis and a misunderstanding of what was actually said . the 490 of Daniel was 70 sevens. We now know there at that passage a day = a year, but that does not make every day in prophetic passages = a year that is bad exegesis. They were not even called days.

The 1260, 1290 and 1335 days of Daniel 12 are all days.

Also the AOD was not Jesus crucifixion. You can only conclude that be reinterpreting Scripture and the Words of Jesus!

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Jesus was not crucified in the holy of holies. But the future antichrist will stand in the holy place declaring himself to be God.

2 Thessalonians 2

King James Version

​

2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

 

[William Barton]

Daniel 9:25 "seven sevens until anointed ruler":

o "seven" = 7 years where "year" = 360 days
o Decree of Cyrus was March 5, 444 B.C.
o Jesus entering Jerusalem on colt was 69 sevens after decree of Cyrus
o. Jesus (anointed ruler, Isaiah 61:1) died, paying the penalty for our sins.
o One seven yet remains.

 

[William Barton]

IMO abomination of desolation is antichrist taking his seat in the temple (2Thesalonians 2:4).

 

[Douggg]

o One seven yet remains.

Correct.

IMO abomination of desolation is antichrist taking his seat in the temple (2Thesalonians 2:4).

That action is the transgression of desolation. It will draw God's anger and God has him killed for it. Please look at my diagram below.

 

[Jay Ross]

Daniel 9:25 "seven sevens until anointed ruler":

o "seven" = 7 years where "year" = 360 days
o Decree of Cyrus was March 5, 444 B.C.
o Entry of Jesus to Jerusalem on colt was 69 sevens after decree of Cyrus
o. Jesus died, paying the penalty for our sins.
o One seven yet remains.

People have declared that God's prophetic year has a duration of 360 days, yet their yearly sin sacrifice varied between 360 days and 390 days depending on when the beginning of each year was determined from observation of when the bailey crop needed to be harvested and when the new moon coincided with the bailey harvest.

I would suggest that the average solar year for the nation of Israel was 365.25 days long.

In Daniel 9:24a, the nation of Israel was told that they had 490 years in which they should repent of their continual idolatrous worship, which corresponded with 490 Sin offerings/sacrifices, one for each of the 490 years where the duration of each year fluctuated between 360 days and 390 days.

So, the introduced number of days associated with the prophetic year is a "man/devil made fabrication" which was then converted to Solar years by multiplying the number of years by 360/365.25 to come to the number of actual solar years that the Daniel 9:24-27 prophecies were relevant too.

Now this manipulation of the number of applicable years works if we apply the reverse mathematical logic to move back from Solar years to Prophetic years.

Perhaps if we just consider that Israel and Jerusalem had 490 sin sacrifices available to them is all that we should consider with respect when considering what the prophecies were stating.

Shalom

Daniel 8
14He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.”

It’s not 2300 days it’s 2300 morning and evenings which is 1150 days

Correct Mr Fox, here is what is soooo funny about the KJV Translation on this, the same two words are used at the end of the chapter, and instead of "DAYS" they used Evening and Morning sacrifices.

Thus the 1150 days fits inside the Beast/Little Horns 1260 days of rule as the conquering king over Israel and the Mediterranean Sea Region.

Thanks @Marty fox

Just as an FYI, it is not unreasonable to interpret them as 2300 years...

Come on, this is kind of lame brother, not the OP (which is bad, but I never chastise people for effort) but the asking AI in that manner, why? Because the way you asked it, AI is going to look for other similar dissertations and if they find one or two, they will say "YES 2300 years CAN BE INTERPRETED in that manner" well of course it can be and has been, but then ask the same AI is this an out of the loop interpretation, and when he says yes, only 3 people have ever interpreted it on that manner, that we could find, and 2 went into the nut house (just a point I am making to show you why asking AI is in error unless you ask it properly), then maybe everyone could understand, this is not a real thing brother.

As a matter of fact the bible over and over proves these are days, not years. LOOK AT THE CONTEXT, then you will grasp it.

Thus the 1150 days fits inside the Beast/Little Horns 1260 days of rule as the conquering king over Israel and the Mediterranean Sea Region.

The 2300 days involving the little horn's action - ends the day of Jesus's return. The 2300 days is shown on this chart. The daily temple sacrifice of two lambs a day, one in the morning, one in the evening - will begin again on day 220 of the 7 years. i.e. 2520 days - 2300 days = 220
