1 | inheavenseyes, 2300 and cleansing? | Matt 24:29 | inheavenseyes | 61069 | ||
Greetings Searcher, I'm sorry i just got the time to visit the forum today. Anyway, Thank you for your answers, and in return let me answer yours to some extent. I think I didn't write "Christ went to Heaven for our restoration." The restoration 'am referring to is the work all for which the heavenly sanctuary is concerned for man's final restoration (if not found wanting). Though your question is fair, does heaven need cleansing or how could a Sanctuary in Heaven need cleansing? Let me bounce back a question for you, what does the sanctuary written in the Bible meant to you ( not on your own interpretation but to what the Bible has to say)? not unless we know what does the Sanctuary really does can we obtain answer to why "Cleansing in the heavenly Santcuary?" Let me share you the the following text, In Hebrew 9:23 Paul says " It was therefore necessary that the PATTERNS OF THINGS IN THE HEAVENS should be purified with these (Blood of the animals); but the heavenly things themeselves with better sacrifices than these(even the precious blood of Christ)." To obtain a further knowledge of the cleansing to which the prophecy points, it was necessary to understand the ministration of the the heavenly sanctuary. This could be learned only from the ministration of the earthly sanctuary; for Paul declares that the priests who officiated there served "UNTO THE EXAMPLE AND SHADOW OF HEAVENLY THINGS" Heb. 8:5 And what was done in type in the Ministration of the earthly sanctuary , is done in reality in the ministartion of the heavenly sanctuary. Its' quite long if I have to write down how Earthly Sanctuary goes for deeper understanding but l'll let ypu have it via email likewise your question on the 2300 years prophecy. I pray that this helps. God Bless! inheavenseyes |

2 | inheavenseyes, why 2300 years? | Matt 24:29 | Searcher56 | 61072 | ||
Scripture ... Exo 28:38-42; Dan 8:14, 9:21 ... inheavenseyes Why do you say it must be 2300 years? ... The text says "2,300 evenings and mornings" (Dan 8:14). - Some think that prophecy that says "days" is "years" ... but different words are used here. - There were two daily sacrifices for the continual burnt offfering (Exo 28:38-42, Dan 9:21). ... I've already pointed out when this prophecy was fulfilled. Searcher |

It appears to me that all your answers revolve around the faulty assumption of dispensational theology? Have you ever considered the A-Mil version of the End TImes? | ||||||

I am not talking about dispensational theology ... I contend the 2,300 evenings and mornings" (Dan 8:14) are literal. BTW I have considered all theologies and it doesn't matter ... all I know He is returning. |

Great! He is returning, we agree. Now to the text: “Days” is literally “evening-morning”; cf. the “vision of the evenings and mornings” in v. 26. Some interpreters understand it simply as a reference to the evening and morning sacrifices as separate offerings (cf. Ex. 29:38–42). On this basis it would represent 1150 days, but these paired sacrifices were traditionally considered a single offering. Others understand it as simply an expression for 2300 days. Since the persecutions by Antiochus IV could be linked with any one of a number of incidents beginning as early as 171 b.c. and ending with the rededication of the temple in 164 b.c., it is difficult to say which understanding of the phrase is to be preferred. The multiple of the number twenty-three may simply be symbolic for a fixed period as in extrabiblical apocalypses (cf. the “sixty-nine” [23 x 3] weeks in 9:25, 26). New Geneva study Bible. 1997, c1995 (electronic ed.) (Da 8:14). Nashville: Thomas Nelson. These are 2,300 evenings/mornings, with no “and” in between, which refers to 2,300 total units or days. Genesis 1:15 does use “and,” i.e., “Evening and morning, one day.” The period runs to about 61/3 years of sacrificing a lamb twice a day, morning and evening (Ex. 29:38,39). The prophecy was precise in identifying the time as that of Antiochus’ persecution, ca. Sept. 6, 171 b.c. to Dec. 25, 165/4 b.c. After his death, Jews celebrated the cleansing of their holy place in the Feast of Lights, or Hanukkah, in celebration of the restoration led by Judas Maccabeus. MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed.) (Da 8:14). Nashville: Word Pub. |
