51 2300 evenings and mornings
Ω 2300 evenings and mornings
Assuming that the last1week and the 2300 days begin together
!Note: This is an uncertain assumption. The 2300-day prophecy requires a careful approach. Most of them are interconnected, so if one goes wrong, everything goes wrong.
Premise 1: Assume that 2300 days are counted with the beginning of the last1week. If this start is wrong, everything will be wrong. However, the basis for counting 2300 days with the beginning of the last week is not clear.
Premise 2: Convert the last remaining 1 week, that is, 1 day of 7 days to 1 year, and 1 year to 360 days.[1] 1 week = 7 years = 2520 days
Premise 3: Since the bible regards a month as 30 days, if 69 out of 70 weeks are converted to the current BCAD calculation standard, which is the current solar calendar, it is 173880 days which is 476 years, not 483 years. As such, 2520 days in the last1week is also 6.9 years when converted to the solar calendar, but for ease of calculation, we will consider it as 7 years. (It means that it follows the lunar calendar actually used by the Jews, not the 360-day absolute calendar that is calculated by extracting only the dates without the leap month. In the lunar calendar for agriculture, the seasons cannot be ignored, so the leap month cannot be omitted.)
Premise 4: Assume 2300 evenings and mornings as 2300 days.
Premise 5: It is assumed that the atonement for the true temple includes the 7 plagues.
Dan.8:8 The male goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable [horns] toward the four winds of the sky.
† Just as the great horn was broken when it was strong and 4 horns came up, so Alexander died and the Greek empire was split into 4 kingdoms when the Greek empire was strong.
Dan.8:9 Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious [land].
† Rome is omitted here. Perhaps it is because Rome was so strongly influenced by Greece. (Roman idols and Greek idols are the same.) The little horn comes from Rome which conquered the divided Greek kingdoms.
Dan.8:10 It grew great, even to the host of the sky; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them.
Dan.8:11 Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual [burnt offering], and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Dan.8:12 The host was given over [to it] together with the continual [burnt offering] through disobedience; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did [its pleasure] and prospered.
Dan.8:13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision [concerning] the continual [burnt-offering], and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Dan.8:14 He said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
† This time when the little horn does abominations is the appointed end time.[2] Therefore, it is considered that the 2300 days here are highly likely to represent the same period as the last remaining 1 week out of the 70 weeks.
Dan.9:24 Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
Dan.9:27 He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out on the desolate.
† The abominations that the little horn does until 2300 days are over is similar to the abominations that will occur in the last1week. In view of this, it is considered that 2300 days and the last1week are highly likely to represent the same period.
Dan.8:16 I heard a man's voice between [the banks of] the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
Dan.8:17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man; for the vision belongs to the time of the end.
Dan.8:18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.
Dan.8:19 He said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
† Gabriel repeats twice that the vision of the abominations that will last until the end of the 2300 days is the work of the appointed time of the end. The last 1 remaining out of the appointed 70 weeks will also begin in the last age.[3] Therefore, the appointed time for the little horn to do abominations may be the last1week.[4] And as of 2019, it has been about 2000 years since the 69th week ended, and only the last1week is left.
Dan.8:20 The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Dan.8:21 The rough male goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Dan.8:22 As for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
† When Alexander dies, the empire is roughly divided among the 4 generals: ① Seleucus, ② Ptolemy, ③ Lysimachus, and ④ Cassander.
Dan.8:23 In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
† These 4 kingdoms passed through Rome and continue to the present in 2019.[5] It means that the era Gabriel is describing does not refer to the end of the Greek dynasty, but to the end of humankind. From this point of view, it is highly likely that the period indicated by the 2300-day prophecy is the same period as the last1week. In the front, it is expressed that a 'little horn' comes out of the 4 horns that come out of the great horn, but here it is expressed that a 'king' comes out. The identity of the 'little horn' mentioned earlier is the 'king'.
Dan.8:24 His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do [his pleasure]; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
† The 'little horn', or 'king', does abominable things by manipulating a powerful force other than his own. The prostitute who will rise in the last1week and persecute the saints, also manipulates the power of the beast to do detestable things.[6] Judging from this, it is believed that the terms 'little horn' and 'prostitute' are highly likely to refer to the same object.
Dan.8:25 Through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in [their] security shall he destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Dan.8:26 The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true: but seal up the vision; for it belongs to many days [to come].
† The vision of 2300 days, or the prophecy of 2300 evenings and mornings, belonged to many days to come in Daniel's day. The 70 weeks when humankind's sinful history ends also belonged to many days to come in Daniel's day.[7] However, the 2300-day prophecy or the 70-week prophecy[8] we see in 2019, when 69 of the 70 weeks of human history have passed and only the last1week is left, will come soon.[9]
Sacrifice is abolished and the holy place and the host are trampled under foot until 2300 days are over, and the holy place will be cleansed at the end of the 2300 days. It means that the enemy who opposes God and tramples on the saints will be judged at the end of the 2300 days. Judging from the fact that God is referring to the exact period, there seems to be a possibility that the persecution will begin with the beginning of the 2300 days and end with the end of the 2300 days. If the sanctuary and the people had been trampled under foot before the beginning of the 2300 days, God would not have mentioned the period of 2300 days.
The key to understanding these words lies in what the 'cleansing of the holy place' means. To understand what the 'cleansing of the holy place' means, we must first know what the holy place means. This holy place which will be cleansed after 2300 days, is not a temple building built by Solomon or Zerubbabel. The essence of cleansing of the holy place is the end of sin, that is, the atonement and the judgment.[10] It can be said that the cleansing of the holy place is achieved in the true sense only when the people's sins are finished and the enemies are judged. That is why the events that will take place at the end of the 2300 days are explained again immediately below.[11]
It is the power of the little horn that is broken after 2300 days.[12] This little horn is the power that persecutes the saints under the control of Satan, the Babylon papacy.[13] The Babylon papacy is also expressed as the prostitute sitting on many waters[14] or the great city[15] which is split into 3 parts by the 7 plagues[16] and then is burned by the beast.[17] Now that each saints is the temple, the holy place is not cleansed to the extent that the temple building is being rebuilt. Therefore, the cleansing of the holy place here does not mean that the temple building will be rebuilt.
The reason why the temple building was consecrated is that God placed His holy name in the temple building.[18] Because the name was given to our Lord Jesus[19], when our Lord Jesus came, our Lord Jesus was the temple of the earth[20], and after our Lord Jesus ascended into heaven and sat on the throne, He put His name in the saints through God the Holy Spirit.[21] Now, the saints who have God the Holy Spirit are the temples of the earth.[22] (Our Lord Jesus is God. The meaning that our Lord Jesus who is God, inherited the name of God is a concept that comes up because our Lord Jesus the Creator, emptied Himself and became a creature.[23])
But the temple has another meaning: the heaven of angels with the cherubim, the true temple.[24] The temple building built on the earth was a model of the true temple in heaven.[25] Therefore, when the holy place is cleansed, it means that the true temple is atoned for and the true temple is cleansed from sin.
To purify the true temple means to perfect the free will of the angels in the true temple and to perfect the angels as those who will never sin again. It is the Day of Atonement when the creation world, the true temple and Hades, are cleansed.[26] The Day of Atonement begins with an angel offering the incense in the golden censer and the golden bowls before the throne after the Lamb broke the 7th seal.[27] Because the truthfulness of the commandments is proved through the 1st resurrection and after that the free will of the angels is perfected[28], the atonement for the true temple begins only after the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses. The 1st resurrection occurs with the sounding of the 7th trumpet.[29] After the 7th trumpet is sounded and the 1st resurrection takes place, the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth while the true temple is atoned for. No one can enter the true temple until the 7 plagues are over.[30] Through this, we can see that the atonement for the true temple is completed with the fulfilment of the 7 plagues.[31]
At the end of the 2300 days, the holy place is cleansed, and the cleansing of the true temple is finished after the 7 plagues are poured out. It is estimated that the end of the 2300 days in which the holy place is cleansed will be the fulfilment of the 7 plagues. Therefore, it is assumed here that the holy place will be cleansed at the end of the 7 plagues. (There may be opinions that the true temple is cleansed only by the 1st resurrection, and the 7 plagues are not included in the cleansing of the true temple.)
Therefore, assuming that 2300 days start from the beginning of the last1week, the end of the 2300 days is 220 days before the end of the last1week. (2520 - 2300 = 220) Since it is assumed that 2300 days will end with the end of the 7 plagues, it can be inferred that the 7 plagues will end 220 days before the end of the last1week. Then, it can be assumed that the judgment against the prostitute + the judgment against the beast forces + the abyss imprisonment of Azazel Satan will be held in 220 days after the 7 plagues.
The word 'blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1335 days' may mean that a blessed event will occur on the 1335th day after the beginning of the last1week.[32] If it is a blessed event that will take place around half point of the last1week, it is very likely that it refers to the 1st resurrection. If so, there is a possibility that the period of the 7 plagues will be about 745 days. (2300 - 1335 - 220 = 745) However, if the period is limited in this way, it should also be possible to explain the word that the days of the great tribulation will be reduced. This is because the fixed period cannot be reduced unless the days have been reduced before fixed in advance. (There may be an opinion that the 1335 days of tribulation were reduced, resulting in 1290 days or 42 months.)
The persecution begins with the beginning of the last1week.[33] Perhaps with the beginning of the last1week, the abomination of desolation stands[34] and the sacrifice and the offering seem to be stopped.[35] (There may be a view that the abomination of desolation will stand about half point of the last1week. If the event of prohibition of the sacrifice and the offering takes place around the half point of the last1week, then the sacrifice and the offering will not be stopped with the beginning of the 2300 days.) It seems that the sacrifice are offered in the temple building until people1/3 die[36], and as the son of destruction sits in the temple building and the last1week begins, the sacrifice seems to be stopped.[37]
Since the last1week is 1260 days, (2300 - 1260 =) 1040 days remain out of 2300 days around the half point of the last1week, when the 1st half of the last1week has passed. At the beginning of the last1week, the abomination of desolation stands. For 42 months, the great tribulation that has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall, will begin. After the end of the 42 months, the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses take place. (There may be an opinion that the great tribulation will begin 'with' the 1st half of the last1week, by interpreting 'half' in Dan 9:27 as 'during half'.[38] And there may be an opinion that the great tribulation will begin 'in' the 1st half of the last1week, by interpreting 'half' in Dan 9:27 as 'in the middle'.) After this 1st resurrection, the 7 golden bowl plagues are poured out on the earth. If we consider that 2300 days will end with the end of the 7 golden bowl plagues, it can be expected that there will be 1040 days of events [Prohibition of the sacrifice + The son of destruction (=Great tribulation) + 1st resurrection + 7 plagues].
I thought about it assuming that the last1week and the 2300 days begin together. If the last1week and the 2300 days do not begin together, please ignore this view.
Assumption that the last1week and the 2300 days begin together 1
=As soon as the last1week begins, the son of destruction sits in the temple building.
Premise 1: By interpreting 'half' in Dan9:27 as 'in the middle', there may be an opinion that the great tribulation will occur briefly during the half point of the last1week. However, here, we interpret 'half' as 'during half', and assume that the great tribulation will occur during at least the 1st half of the last1week. In other words, It is assumed that with the beginning of the last1week the son of destruction will sit in the temple building and the great tribulation will bigin. Put differently, it is assumed that the great tribulation will not occur briefly during the 1st half of the last1week, but will occur during the entire period of the 1st half of the last1week.
Premise 2: I believe that the 42 months in which the son of destruction slaughters the saints cannot be the 2nd half of the last1week. I believe that the 1st resurrection only takes place once[39], the 1st resurrection takes place around the half point of the last1week[40], and I believe that the saints cannot be left on the earth after the 1st resurrection.[41] Therefore, I believe that either the great tribulation will occur during the 42 months of the last1week, or the great tribulation that occured around the half point of the last1week will end with the 1st resurrection that will occur around the half point of the last1week.
Premise 3: Since it was assumed that the son of destruction would sit in the temple building at the beginning of the last1week, we will see 1335 days from the time when the abomination of desolation stands, around the half point of the last1week. In other words, we will see the blessed event that will take place 1335 days after the son of destruction sits in the temple building, as the 1st resurrection.[42] If so, the 1st resurrection will take place when the 1260 days of the 1st half of the last1week are over and 75 more days have passed.

It is the temple on the earth to be demolished, but the true temple in the heaven to be cleansed. The reason why earthly works are connected with heavenly works is that heavenly works are determined by the things that are proved through earthly works.[53] Satan opposes God through his chessmen set up on the earth, and God confirms the judgment against Satan through the saints established on the earth.[54]
At the end of the 2300 days, the sanctuary is cleansed.[55] It means that the trampling of the sanctuary is over. The sanctuary is trampled on until 2300 days are over. The sanctuary here does not mean the true sanctuary. If this sanctuary is the true temple, the true temple will have to be trampled on by Satan fraudswarms until the end of 2300 days, but since Satan fraudswarms are already confined in Hades[56], Satan fraudswarms cannot enter the true temple. Therefore, the true temple will not be trampled on. Satan fraudswarms were also expelled from the realm of heaven, God the Holy Spirit, which was accomplished in Hades.[57]
Therefore, this sanctuary which is trampled under foot until the end of 2300 days, is not the true temple, but the temple built on the earth, that is, the saints.[58] Perhaps this could include the temple building in Israel that will be rebuilt. (However, the temple building is no longer a temple. The saints whom God the Holy Spirit has come to, are the temples. If the temple building is trampled on, it has only a symbolic meaning that what used to be a temple will be trampled on.) For the abomination of desolation needs a place to stand.[59] Among the saints, those who are in heaven[60], who are in the realm of God the Holy Spirit[61], where there are lampstands and the altar of incense, are not trampled on, but rather prophesy and attack their enemies.[62] Or they may be martyred by death, but Satan fraudswarms can harm their bodies, but they cannot harm their souls.[63] Many saints will be persecuted.[64]
Through the 1st resurrection of the martyr witnesses, the truthfulness of the commandments is proved[65] and God's love and justice are finally confirmed. Therefore, through the 1st resurrection of the martyr witnesses, all doubts about God are extinguished and the free will of the angels in the true temple is perfected. When the 7th trumpet is sounded, the saints are resurrected or transformed, and the 7 golden bowl plagues are poured out on the earth. It means that when the 7th trumpet is sounded, the atonement for the true temple will be completed and the free will of the angels will be perfected. The atonement for the true sanctuary was expressed as the complete extinction of the possibility of sin hidden in the righteous creatures. This, of course, is made possible[66] by the blood of our Lord Jesus[67], which contains the love of the Creator.[68] It is also because of the blood of our Lord Jesus that the saints can overcome sin and be resurrected or transformed.[69] While the free will of the righteous creatures who saw the 1st resurrection[70] is perfected[71], the 7 golden bowl plagues are poured out on the earth. While the 7 golden bowl plagues are pouring down, the true temple, the sanctuary is cleansed[72] and the 2300 days end with the end of the 7 gold bowl plagues.[73]
Since 2300 days are assumed to be counted with the beginning of the last1week, the end must also be counted against the last1week. The last1week, 1260 days are added twice, making a total of 2520 days. At the beginning of the last1week, the sacrifice and the offering are stopped[74], and the abomination of desolation[75], the son of destruction[76], stands in the holy place. The prophecy had been proclaimed by the 2 witnesses[77] who ate the little book[78] during 42 months or 1260 days of the 1st half of the last1week when the holy city was trampled under foot by gentiles.
At the end of the 1st half of the last1week, the 2 witnesses are killed by the beast that has come up from the abyss[79] and trampled the holy city during 42 months. The 2 witnesses are raised again after 3 and a half days and go up into heaven[80] which symbolizes the 1st resurrection.[81] Since the 7th trumpet is sounded immediately[82], the 1st resurrection will occur when the 7th trumpet which is the last trumpet, is sounded.[83]
After the 1st half of the last1week, the 1st resurrection occurs. Since the truthfulness of the commandments is proved when the resurrection and the transformation is made[84], the free will of the angels is perfected by the 1st resurrection of the martyr witnesses.[85] While the the judgment of the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth, the free will of the angels is perfected and the true temple is atoned for. After the true temple was atoned for, the atonement for Hades immediately followed.[86] This atonement for Hades is probably the Coming to the earth, which is the Son who came into the air, comes even to the earth after pouring out the 7 plagues to judge the beast forces.[87] (Some view that the atonement for Hades as the 7 plagues.)
With the fulfilment of the 7 plagues, the atonement for the true temple is also completed. If we consider that 2300 days will end when the atonement for the true temple is completed, it can be said that 2300 days will end with the fulfilment of the 7 plagues. The time when 2300 days have passed since the beginning of the last1week, is the time when 1040 days have passed since the beginning of the 2nd half of the last1week. Since the 1st resurrection takes place and the 7 plagues are poured out around the half point of the last1week, it can be seen that the 7 plagues are poured out during the period included in the 2300 days of the 2nd half of the last1week. If so, it can be seen that the 7 plagues will be poured out between after the end of 1260 days, after the end of the 1st half of the last1week, and before the end of 1040 days, the period included in the 2300 days of the 2nd half of the last1week.
Since it is assumed that the 2300 days begin with the last1week, even after 1260 days of the 1st half of the last1week are over, there are still 1040 days left before the 2300 days are completed. If the word that the sanctuary will be cleansed after 2300 days means that the sanctuary will be trampled on for 2300 days, then the sanctuary will still be trampled on during another 1040 days. By the time the 1st half of the last1week is over, since the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses has already taken place, I believe that there will be no saints left on the earth. Because it is after the martyr witnesses are resurrected or transformed[88], the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth.[89]
① If the word that the sanctuary will be cleansed after 2300 days means that the sanctuary will be trampled on for 2300 days, and if there are no more saints left on the earth after the 1st resurrection, then, the sanctuary that will be trampled more for 1040 days from the end of 1260 days until the end of 2300 days, means nothing but a temple building built in Israel. However, since the temple building has no more meaning than a symbol after the saints become temples, this view gives reason to think that such an assumption that the 2300 days begin with the last1week, would be wrong.
② However, if the meaning of the sanctuary being cleansed after 2300 days does not mean that the sanctuary will be trampled on for 2300 days, but simply means that the sanctuary will be cleansed after 2300 days, then the entire 2300 days may not be the period during which the sanctuary will be trampled on. If that is the case, it could mean that the sanctuary, or the saints, were trampled under foot for 1260 days of the 1st half of the last1week, and after the 1st resurrection, the 7 plagues were poured out on the earth without the saints, and then the sanctuary was cleansed. In other words, 1260 days of the 1st half of the last1week, when the sanctuary is trampled under foot by Satan fraudswarms, and 1040 days in which the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth without saints, can be summed up to mean 2300 days.
③ If there could be saints who have not resurrected or transformed but are still alive on the earth, the sanctuary that will be trampled on for the next 1040 days will mean these saints. But I believe that any saints who reject the mark of the beast666 will be martyr witnesses. At this time, since all the martyr witnesses have been raised by the 1st resurrection[90], I believe that only the beast worshipers who have received the mark of the beast666 will remain on the earth.
During the 1260 days of the 1st half of the last1week when the beast tramples on the holy city, the 2 witnesses clothed in sackcloth prophesy.[91] During the 42 months of the 1st half of the last1week[92], the abomination of desolation[93], the son of destruction[94], slaughters the saints. This is the great tribulation that has never been seen since the foundation of the world.[95] After at least 42 months of great tribulation, the 1st resurrection will take place.[96] Following the 1st resurrection, after the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth[97], the last1week is over when the Son comes even to the earth to judge the beast forces.[98]
Rev.15:8 The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.
No one may be in the tent of meeting during the atonement for the most holy place and the holy place is made by the sprinkling of blood.[99] Even while the true temple is cleansed from sin by the atonement of the Son after the sounding of the 7th trumpet, no one can be in the true temple.[100] Until the 7 golden bowl plagues are over after the sounding of the 7th trumpet, no one can be in the true temple because the atonement for the true temple is in progress. In other words, it means that the atonement will be completed and the righteous creatures will be able to enter the temple when the 7 golden bowl plagues are over. The completion of the atonement for the true temple with the 7 golden bowl plagues, may be expressed as the cleansing of the sanctuary at the end of 2300 days. If so, it is estimated that the 2300 days through which the sanctuary will be cleansed will end with the end of the 7 plagues.[101]
Until the end of the 2300 days, the regular sacrifice will be removed, and the sanctuary and God's people, the army, will be trampled on by Satan.[102] The regular sacrifice is removed[103] during the 1st half of the last1week.[104] The army is trampled on by Satan during the 1st half of the last1week.[105] (1 time times and a half[106] = 42 months[107] = 1260 days[108] = 3 times and a half = 3 years and 6 months = 1st half of the last1week) During the 1st half of the last1week, the power of the saints are shattered[109], but when the 1st half of the last1week is over and around the half point of the last1week, the 1st resurrection takes place. When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved by the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses, the evil doubts about God's love and justice are extinguished. As doubts about God are extinguished, the free will of the angels is perfected. While the angels are completed and the true temple is cleansed, the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth.
During the 2300 days, the regular sacrifice is abolished, the sanctuary is destroyed, and the saints are persecuted. The 2300-day prophecy is the answer to the question, 'When will the persecution of the saints being trampled upon, end?'.[110] So the 2300 days will be a period of suffering for the saints. If 2300 days were a period of peace, God would not have answered Daniel through angels by saying, 'For 2300 days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed. (The sufferings of the saints will end.)'. And this sufferings will occur especially in the last1week of the 70 weeks.
Events such as the abolition of the regular sacrifice or the trampling of the sanctuary or the persecution of the people were historically foreshadowed even within the 70 weeks period, but it is only during the last1week that these events take place as an entity that is not a type. Just as the sacrifice is abolished in the 2300 days, so also in the last1week the sacrifice is abolished.[111] Just as the sanctuary is cleansed at the end of the 2300 days, so at the end of the last1week, sin ends.[112] Therefore, it is highly probable that the period of 2300 days and the last1week refers to the overlaped period.
The regular sacrifice is worship in today's terms.[113] However, around the last1week, sacrifices like the old testament age must be offered in the actual temple building. It can be inferred that the temple building will be rebuilt from the words that the abomination of desolation[114], the son of destruction, will sit in the temple during the half of the last1week.[115] (another view, half point of the last1week) Therefore, for the sanctuary and the people to be defiled and trampled on for 2300 days, and the regular sacrifice to be abolished[116], it may mean that detestable things will be done in the rebuilt temple and the saints will fall into Babylon.
When Babylon the great in which politics and religion are united, arises, the saints will enter into the midst of great persecution.[117] When or around the time when the true church flees and the true saints are persecuted[118], the last1week will begin. As the last1week begins, persecution begins and the sacrifice and the offering are stopped[119], so the 2300 days are also likely to begin with the abolition of the sacrifice and the offering. The son of destruction who stands in the holy place[120] will cause the great tribulation during the 1st half of the last1week that has never been seen since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall.[121]
In a didactic sense, the temple where the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation stands can be seen as a saint, but in a prophetic sense, it is difficult to see this temple as a saint. Just as 1260 days is 3 years and 6 months in a literal sense, the temple will also mean a temple building in a literal sense. Therefore, in order for the last1week to begin, a temple building must be built in Israel.[122] This is because the son of destruction has to sit in the temple building as the last1week begins.[123]
However, the sanctuary that is cleansed after 2300 days cannot be a temple building. After God the Son Himself came as the temple[124], God does not put His name[125] in the temple building[126], so even if a temple building is built, the temple building is just a pile of stones. How can it be said to be holy if God does not put His holy name in the building? How can we use the expression to purify something that will perish anyway? The temple building is merely a means used to express the time when the true temple is cleansed.[127] The sanctuary that will be cleansed after 2300 days must be the true temple, the substance revealed through the temple building which is the copy. It is to show the time when the true temple is cleansed and sin ends in the creation world[128] through the events that take place in the temple building.
The last1week is 7 days, that is, 7 years. When converting 1 day of 7 days into 1 year[129] and 1 year into 360 days[130], 2520 days of the last1week are 1260 days of the 1st half and 1260 days of the 2nd half. (The lunar calendar is calculated without a leap month without conversion based on the BCAD Gregorian calendar.) 1260 days are also expressed as 42 months or 1 time times and a half. With the persecution, the 42 months, the last1week, begins.[131] During the 1st half of the last1week, during 42 months, the holy city, the saints, are trampled by gentiles. However, for the witnesses, the 1st 1260 days are a period of war and a period of attacking the enemy.[132] Witnesses will overcome their enemies.[133] Even during the tribulation, God protects the witnesses.[134] After the 1st 1260 days, the last trumpet will be sounded. After the last trumpet, the 7th trumpet, is sounded and the firstfruits are resurrected or transformed, the 7 plagues will be poured out on the earth.
Assuming that 2300 days begin with the beginning of the last1week and the sanctuary is cleansed with the end of the 7 plagues[135], the 2300 days will end after 1040 days from the beginning of the 2nd half of the last1week. This means that the 7 plagues will be over 220 days before the end of the 2nd half of the last1week. It also means that the 7 plagues will be poured out over a period of about 1040 days.
After 2300 days, the sanctuary is cleansed.[136] Since the true temple is atoned for only after the 7 plagues have been poured out, and the sanctuary is cleansed only after 2300 days have elapsed, it is assumed that 2300 days will also end when the 7 plagues are over. Since the temple building has no meaning since the coming of our Lord Jesus, this sanctuary to be cleansed must mean the true temple.[137] Therefore, if 2300 days really begin with the beginning of the last1week, the atonement for the true temple will be completed at the end of the 2300 days, which is the time after the 1st resurrection takes place and the 7 plagues are finished, out of 2520 days of the last1week.
Depending on whether 'week half' in Dan9:27 is interpreted as 'during half of the week' or 'in the middle of the week'[138], opinions on when the son of destruction sits in the temple building can be different.[139] If the son of destruction sits in the temple building as soon as the last1week begins, a blessed event will take place 1335 days after the beginning of the last1week.[140] If the son of destruction sits in the temple building around the half point of the last1week after the end of the 1st half of the last1week, the blessed event will take place 1335 days after the half point of the last1week. The blessed event that will take place 1335 days after the beginning of the last1week, is likely to be the 1st resurrection. The blessed event that will take place 1335 days after the half point of the last1week, is the 1000-year kingdom. I will interpret 'week half' as 'during half of the week'. In other words, I will see that the son of destruction sits in the temple building as the last1week begins and the 1st resurrection takes place 1335 days after the son of destruction sits in the temple building.
Considering that the 7 plagues are finished at the end of the 2300 days, the remaining period of the 2nd half of the last1week after the 7 plagues is about (1260 - 1040 =) 220 days. During the period of 220 days, our Lord Jesus will come even to the earth with His heavenly army, and destroy the evil forces including the beast and the false prophet and imprison Satan fraudswarms in the abyss.[141] Since it is expected that the 1000-year kingdom will be established after the end of the 2nd half of the last1week, Destruction of the Babylon prostitute + Judgment against the beast + Imprisoning Satan in the abyss + (Marriage supper of the Lamb) will take place during 220 days.
If the cleansing of the sanctuary here means judgment on the enemies, then at the end of the 2300 days the enemy must be in a state of being judged. If the 2300 days begin with the last1week, and the 2300 days end only when our Lord Jesus comes even to the earth to judge the enemies because the sanctuary is cleansed after the end of the 2300 days[142], all of the 7 plagues and the judgment against the beast armies perhaps even the imprisoning Satan must end 220 days before the end of the 2nd half of the last1week. Then, the biggest question that arises is, 'Even though the judgment against the enemies has already finished, why is there 220 days left until the sanctuary is cleansed?' Therefore, the cleansing of the sanctuary does not seem to mean even the end of judgment on the enemies. This means that the cleansing of the sanctuary and the judgment against the enemies do not take place at the same time.
The cleansing of the sanctuary means that the free will of the angels is perfected so that the creatures in the true temple will not sin again. Judgment on the enemies begins only after the free will of the angels is perfected. The atonement will be made and the sanctuary will be cleansed at the end of the 2300 days, but it seems that judgment will not be made. (For reference, this is based on the assumption that the 2300 evenings and mornings begin with the last1week.)
At the end of the 2300 days, the sanctuary is cleansed, and at the end of the 70 weeks, sin ends and the atonement is made.[143] At the end of the 7 golden bowl plagues, the atonement is completed.[144] The free will of righteous creatures is perfected while the 7 golden bowl plagues are poured out. When all doubts about God's love and justice disappear completely after seeing the truthfulness of the commandments proved through the 1st resurrection, even the free will of the angels in the true temple of the heaven of angels is perfected, and the angels will not sin again[145], so the possibility of sin is annihilated in the creatures that belong to God. This is the atonement for the true temple. (There are still unverified creatures such as the robber in paradise[146] or the people of the 1000-year kingdom[147], but the free will of the saints and angels up to this point has been perfected.) As the possibility of sin remaining in the creatures is annihilated, the true temple, the sanctuary is cleansed from sin.
If it is assumed that the 2300 days will also come to an end at the end of the 7 golden bowl plagues, then that the sanctuary will be cleansed at the end of the 2300 days means that the free will of the creatures will be perfected at the end of the 2300 days.[148] At the end of the 70 weeks, even the judgment against the enemies is over[149] and the Day of Atonement is finished[150] by imprisoning Satan fraudswarms who were confined in Hades, the altar of burnt offering[151], into the abyss.[152] (Since the abyss is also a creature that belongs to death, it must be a part of Hades.[153] Death is also a creature.[154]) Since the calculation assumes that the 2300 days begin with the beginning of the last1week out of the 70 weeks, the end of the 70 weeks and the end of the 2300 days are not exactly the same. There is a difference of 220 days. According to the above assumption, in my opinion, the 2300 days will end with the end of the 7 plagues, and the 70 weeks will end with the imprisonment against Satan.
※ Please note that this is an expanded idea based on the uncertain assumption that the 2300 evenings and mornings begin with the last1week.
Assumption that the last1week and the 2300 days begin together 2
=Around the end of the 1st half of the last1week, the son of destruction sits in the temple building.
Premise 1: Interpreting 'week half' in Dan9:27 as 'half point of the last1week', it is assumed that the abomination of desolation[155], that is, the son of destruction[156], will sit in the temple building in the half point of the last1week.
Premise 2: I believe that there will be no saints left on the earth after the 1st resurrection. After the 1st resurrection, there will be only the wicked who have received the mark of the beast666 on the earth. The 1st resurrection takes place at the peak of the great tribulation. Since the 1st resurrection takes place around the half point of the last1week, if the great tribulation also takes place around the half point of the last1week, the period of the great tribulation will not be very long.
Premise 3: 1335 days after the abomination of desolation stood, a blessed event takes place. Assuming that the son of destruction sits in the temple building around the half point of the last1week, 1335 days after that is the time around the end of the last1week. The blessed event that will take place around the end of the last1week will be the establishment of the 1000-year kingdom.

As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. Whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cling to one another, even as iron does not mingle with clay. In the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty of it be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
[6] Rev.17:3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death.

If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way. These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
