2300 DAY PROPHECY OF THE MESSIAH

The Cleansing of the Sanctuary
"Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said to that certain saint which spoke, How long shall be the vision about the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? and he said to me, to two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."

457 B.C.

27 A.D. 33 A.D. 34 A.D.

1844

We see that the 2300 years and the 490 years both start at the same time. Therefore, 490 years are "cut out" from the 2300.

2300 - 490 = 1810 years.  A.D. 34 + 1810 = A.D. 1844.

Seventy weeks were cut off of the larger time prophecy of 2300 days. This time was given to the Jews. It began with the release from Babylonian captivity when the commandment to build and restore Jerusalem was given. The seventy weeks would end with the Messiah.

    1.  457 B.C. - Decree to restore and build Jerusalem after Babylon. The final decree provided the money to rebuild.

    2.  27 A.D. - Baptism of Jesus. He was anointed by the Holy Spirit and formally became the Messiah at that time.

    3.  33 A.D. - The crucifixion of Jesus.

    4.  34 A.D. -  The stoning of Stephen. The gospel fromally goes out to the Gentiles who will produce the fruits.

    5.  1844 A.D. - The 2300 day time prophecy ends with the formal beginning of time of end. Daniel 12:2-4. Time of end; . . . many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased.
