I believe the Sanctuary, to be cleansed at the end of the 2300 days, is the New Jerusalem Temple, of which Christ is a Minister. The Lord shew me in vision, more than one year ago, that Brother Crosier had the true light, on the cleansing of the Sanctuary, &c; and that it was his will, that Brother C. should write out the view which he gave us in the Day-Star Extra, February 7, 1846. I feel fully authorized by the Lord to recommend that Extra to every saint. {WLF 12.8 / A Word to the Little Flock (1847), page 12 paragraph 8}

In 66 AD in October, Cestius besieged Jerusalem. The Christians in the city recognized this as the sign given by Christ (Matthew 24:15). When the Romans suddenly withdrew, the Christians fled, not one of them losing his life.

In 70 AD, Titus returned with a large army. The city was destroyed, the temple was burnt to the ground and more than a million Jews perished in the siege.

For the next nearly 250 years, the church suffered intense persecution from the Roman government. Christians were given to wild beasts, or smeared with pitch and lashed to poles to serve as torches for the arena. Three million were martyred for their faith in Christ.


Ten Toes = the ten barbarian tribes which divided out of Rome between 351 AD and 476 AD during its collapse:
1. The Saxons, originating the English nation.
2. The Franks, originating the French nation.
3. The Alamanni, originating the German nation.*
4. The Visigoths, originating the Spanish nation.
5. The Suevi, originating the Portuguese nation.
6. The Lombards, originating the Italian nation.
7. The Burgundians, originating the Swiss nation.
8. The Heruli, who were annihilated by the little horn in 483 AD.
9. The Vandals, who were annihilated by the little horn in 534 AD.
10. The Ostrogoths, who were annihilated by the little horn in 538 AD.

*Note: the Alamanni (Germans) are recorded here after the historical precedent. However, previous leading commentaries on Daniel 2 have named the Huns in place of the Alamanni.


The 22nd October 1844 is the tenth day of the seventh month (Leviticus 16:29-30; 23:27-30) of the Hebrew calendar for the year which comes 2300 years (Daniel 8:13-14; Ezekiel 4:6) after the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem (Daniel 9:25), which was in 457 BC and commanded by King Artaxerxes of Persia (Ezra 6:14).


Then I saw in relation to the “daily” (Daniel 8:12) that the word “sacrifice” was supplied by man’s wisdom, and does not belong to the text, and that the Lord gave the correct view of it to those who gave the judgment hour cry. When union existed, before 1844, nearly all were united on the correct view of the “daily;” but in the confusion since 1844, other views have been embraced, and darkness and confusion have followed. Time has not been a test since 1844, and it will never again be a test. {EW 74.2 / Early Writings (1882), page 74 paragraph 2}


“...until a time and times and the dividing of time.” Daniel 7:25
“...it shall be for a time, times, and an half.” Daniel 12:7
“...a time, and times, and half a time.” Revelation 12:14

3½ times (Daniel 7:25; 12:7; Revelation 12:14)
= 42 months (Revelation 11:2; 13:5, 7)
= 1260 days (Revelation 11:3; 12:6)
= 1260 years (538 AD to 1798 AD)

A time = a year (Job 24:1; Psalm 31:10, 15); a month = 30 days
(Genesis 7:11, 24; 8:3-4) and a day = a year, in prophecy
(Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6).


"If there ever was a time when serious reflection becomes every one who fears God, it is now, when personal piety is essential. The inquiry should be made, "What am I, and what is my work and mission in this time? On which side am I working—Christ's side or the enemy's side?" Let every soul now humble himself or herself before God, for now we are surely living in the great Day of Atonement. The cases even now of many are passing in review before God, for they are to sleep in their graves a little season. Your profession of faith is not your guarantee in that day, but the state of your affections. Is the soul-temple cleansed of its defilement? Are my sins confessed and am I repenting of them before God, that they may be blotted out? Do I esteem myself too lightly? Am I willing to make any and every sacrifice for the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ? Do I feel every moment I am not my own, but Christ's property, that my service belongs to God, whose I am?"—Ms 87, 1886. {LDE 72.2}
