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.

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:

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.

Daniel 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
