Daniel S:I4--It is in answer to the inquiry
in the previous verse, viz:
'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 2,3oo days;
and then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."
Here was a question of time characterized
by so much of the vision as concerned the daily
sacrifice and the transgression of desolation, to
give both the sanctury and the host to be trod-
den under foot
Our Lord thus audes to the same events as
recorded in the 21st of Luke.
"And they (the Jews, as host) shall be led
away captive into all nations, and Jerusalem
(including the sanctuary shall be trodden
down (under foot) of the Gentiles, until the
times of the Gentiles be fulfilled"
These 2,3oo days represent typicaly 2,3oo
years, and are to end with the final cleansing
of the Jewish sanctuary.
''Then shall the sanctuary be ceansed. -
To find the beginning of this prophetic
period, as it relates to the temple service, the
sanctuary, the Jewish .worshipping host and
their daily sacrifice, we must look for time
when the daily sacrifice was established subse-
quently to the captivity of the Jews under
Nebuchadnezzar when the temple was de-
stroyed, and the vessels of the sanctuary were
carried away into Babylon.
By reference to Nehemiah 1879 IL, it will be
seen that the new temple was commenced in
the reign of Cyrus, king of Persia and, by his
decree, was, by direction of Nehemiah, cleansed
and the vessels of the daily sacrifice restored.
Nehemiah says: "Then commanded, and
they ceansed the chambers, and thither brought
l again the vessels of the house of GoG with
the meat offerings and the frankincense.
"Then contended with the rulers, and said,
Why is the house of God forsaken? And l
gathered them together and set them in their
place Then brought all Judah the 1.-THE of
the corn, and the new wines, and the oil unto
the treasures.
Thus was the daily sacrifice renewed after
period of about 100 years from the beginning
of the captivity
The question asked was "How long shall
be the vision concerning the daily sacrfce?"
The answer was: 'Unto 1900 days then
shall the sanctuary be ceanset." That is, the
sanctuary shall be again and finally cleansed.
"When the D>liverer shall ccme 10 Zion and
urn away ungodliness from Jacob; so, then,
all Israel shall be saved. Romans 1926.
The cleansing of the sanctuary and the re-
newal of the daily sacrifice, by Nehemiah,
took place about the year B. c. 432.
To 432 add 1868, and we have 2,3oo; and if
each prophetic day shall be equal to literal
year, reckoned as typical time, we have be-
fore shown, then 1900 years, commencing
B. c. 432, will reach to the year of our Lord
1868.
AT this time, we may expect the times of the
Genties to be fulfilled. And the dispersion of
Israel will be ended, and then will the sanctu-
Ary be ceansed.
The sanctuary here, doubtless has reference
to the churches Of Jesus Christ.
They will be cleansed of everything that is
not in accord with His teachings
