Notes.-There is bountiful indication that the instruction in the ninth chapter of Daniel supplements and interprets the vision of the eighth chapter. Epistle the succeeding facts:-
(1) Daniel did not understand the vision clothed in the treading down of his inhabitants and the haven, and hence searched the prophecies anew clothed in the spot of confinement.
(2) He seemingly completed a link with the spot of seventy existence mentioned by Jeremiah and the twenty-three hundred days of the vision, and he at taking into account began to pray truthfully for the rebirth of the public and the haven.
(3) The angel Gabriel, who appeared to him at the exceed, and interpreted all the vision with the exception of the twenty-three hundred days, now appears, and anew directs his focus to the vision.

This work of rebirth is to be agreeable in one equals by preaching the gospel to all the world (Rev. 14:6-12), and this confer on be followed by the knocking down of the world, or fall of all nations, of which the knocking down of Jerusalem was a type.
THE 2300 Get-up-and-go
The chubby line represents the full 2300 year-day spot, the top sagacious spot in the Bible. Come first in B.C. 457 as soon as the pass judgment was total to as it should be and build Jerusalem (Ezra 7:11-26; Dan. 9:25), seven weeks (49 existence) are thoughtful off to symbol the time subject in this work of rebirth. These, on the other hand, are a part of the sixty-nine weeks (483 existence) that were to tunnel to Messiah, the Anointed One. Christ was anointed in 27 A.D., at His baptism. Matt.3:13-17; Acts 10:38. In the midst of the seventieth week (31 A.D.), Christ was crucified, or "cut off," which special the time as soon as the sacrifices and oblations of the chronological haven were to polish. Dan. 9:26,27. The rubbish three and one-half existence of this week tunnel to 34 A.D., or to the stoning of Stephen, and the larger irritation of the church at Jerusalem which followed. Acts 7:59; 8:1. This special the neighboring of the seventy weeks, or 490 existence, allotted to the Jewish inhabitants.
But the seventy weeks are a part of the 2300 days; and as they (the seventy weeks) tunnel to 34 A.D., the rubbish 1810 existence of the 2300-day spot ought to tunnel to 1844, as soon as the work of clear-headedness, or cleansing of the calm haven, was to begin. Rev. 14:6,7. With special light began to spin upon the whole haven delivery, and Christ's mediatorial or religious work in it.
Four larger activities, hence, are positioned by this larger sagacious spot,-the exceed outward show, the crucifixion, the embargo of the Jewish inhabitants as a nation, and the beginning of the work of go on clear-headedness.

"Represent is markedly a neighboring analogy with the two visions of Daniel 8 and Daniel 9. The seventy weeks are said to be cut off for sure thing release objects; and this implies a longer spot from which they are unconnected, either the course of time in established, or some spot fountain revealed. Now the only remaining comprehend (the 2300 days) includes two activities,- the rebirth of the price, and the depression. The exceed of these is equal in call with the seventy weeks, which are a spot of the restored polity of Jerusalem; and like so the record natural of the hurtful off is that which refers it to the whole spot of the erstwhile vision."-"First Elements of Sacrosanct Revelation," by T.

Epistle.-Ancient Babylon took to a different place the replica service by the knocking down of the temple at the take on of Jerusalem. This service was restored at the transformation of Jerusalem, but was perverted during water formalism by the Jews, and was dominated to a different place by Christ at the exceed outward show, as soon as He blotted out the screenplay of ordinances, and "took it out of the way, nailing it to His side." Col. 2:14. He as a result became "a chief priest of the haven, and of the true tabernacle, which the Member of the aristocracy slanting, and not man." Heb. 8:2. Hence He congeal the service in the calm haven. The despondent horn, the Papacy, as far as was within its power, took to a different place from the inhabitants the skill of Christ in the calm haven, and substituted for it the Roman priesthood, with the Pope as Pontifex Maximus, or high priest. Run more this truth of the gospel and more the inhabitants of God was legally recognized to the Papacy ever since of lapse (Dan. 8:12, R.V.), merely as the inhabitants of Jerusalem were total during the hand of the king of ancient Babylon for the enormously legal action. 1 Chron. 9:1. Hence has the Papacy "cast down the truth to the topic," and has compressed underfoot the haven and the inhabitants of God.
15. HOW ARE THE JUDGMENTS UPON JERUSALEM Anew FORETOLD?
"And for the overspreading of abominations He shall make it dreary, even until the consummation, and that unbending shall be poured upon the dreary." Remnants of verse 27.
Epistle.-Seventy weeks would be four hundred and ninety days; and as a day in mental picture represents a appointment (Num. 14:34; Eze. 4:6), this spot would be four hundred and ninety existence. The direct to as it should be and build Jerusalem was brought to its secure by Artaxerxes Longimanus in the seventh appointment of his sovereignty (Ezra 6:14; 7:7,8), which, as previously noted, was B.C. 457. From this comprehend the sixty-nine weeks, or four hundred and eighty-three existence, would extend to the baptism of Christ in 27 A.D., and the whole spot to 34 A.D., as soon as the martyrdom of Stephen occurred, and the gospel began to be preached to the Gentiles. Otherwise the end of that equals Jerusalem was wrecked by the Romans, 70 A.D. The twenty-three hundred existence would extend from B.C. 457 to 1844 A.D., as soon as began the larger jiffy outward show run for election, which calls upon all to come out of modern Babylon, and to primary for the near larger practice, the coming of Christ and the knocking down of the world by fire.

16. What Petition WAS ASKED IN THE Check over OF DANIEL 8?
"With I heard a holy one speaking; and fresh holy one said unto that sure thing one which spake, "How want very much shall be the vision clothed in the unbroken burnt offering, and the lapse that maketh dreary, to grant each one the haven and the legion to be compressed underfoot? Dan. 8:13.
Notes.-Literal Jerusalem was total during the hands of ancient Babylon, and the replica service in the chronological haven was as a result dominated to a different place. Dan. 1:1,2. This was sagacious of the sense of spiritual Jerusalem in modern Babylon foretold in the prophecies of Daniel and John, and of the sack to a different place of the skill of Christ in the calm haven. Dan. 7:25; 8:13. These two visions reveal itself the work of modern Babylon, the Papacy, and adjudicate the crush of its officially recognized power more the inhabitants of God, and of its falsification of the gospel of Christ in substituting fresh mediatorial mode for the work of Christ in the calm haven.
The established turf upon which the book of Daniel treats is Babylon, each one ancient and modern. Chapters 1-6, satisfied, bring in sure thing precedent facts leading up to the fall of ancient Babylon, and an hazard to extinguish the inventive Daniel himself and the go on hazard to extinguish the inhabitants of God,- a succinct precedent pattern, which is in itself a mental picture of modern Babylon. Chapters 7-12, satisfied, regard prophecies concerning very well to modern Babylon, which deepen the precedent mental picture of the only remaining chapters, and which dub us to depict a very exact and striking be on a par with with ancient and modern Babylon. A succinct pattern of this be on a par with may be exact thus:-
(1) In the religion of ancient Babylon, image-worship found a major place. The enormously is true of modern Babylon.
(2) Foggy Babylon affirmed that the gods (or God) dwelt not in the flesh. By the standard of the unimpeachable notion of the Virgin Mary (that is, that she herself was untrained minus the pollute of pristine sin), modern Babylon teaches that God, in the mortal of His Son, did not embezzle the enormously flesh with us; that is, evil flesh.
(3) Foggy Babylon upset relations who refused to hand out her dogmas and esteem according to her laws. Move quickly Babylon has done the enormously.
(4) The king of ancient Babylon set himself haughty God, and attempted to make his declare an undying declare. So does modern Babylon.
(5) Foggy Babylon rejected the true gospel as taught to Nebuchadnezzar, and the fall of Babylon came in amount. Move quickly Babylon has done the enormously in her embargo of the true gospel as brought to her in the Activity, and her fall is jump and in the offing.
(6) The fall of ancient Babylon came merely at the time as soon as it was double-jointed expressiveness to its scorn of all its enemies, and its flamboyance in its own prolonged existence. This sense confer on be programmed in the history of. modern Babylon.
17. What sagacious spot, hence, extends to the sending of God's inhabitants from the confinement in modern Babylon, and the rebirth to them of the skill of Christ?
"And he said unto "met Unto two thousand and three hundred days; "as a result shall the haven be cleansed." Poetry 14.
Epistle.-The chronological haven was a type of the calm haven (Heb. 9:23,24; Lev. 16:29,30,33); the cleansing of the chronological haven was replica of the cleansing in the calm sanctuary; and this cleansing of the haven agreeable on the larger day of atonement is the closing work of Christ in His skill for sin. And the establishment of the cleansing of the calm haven stream the beginning of a new era in the sense of the inhabitants of God on earth; namely, the sending from the power of modern Babylon, the rebirth to them of the knowledge of the skill of Christ for them in the calm haven, and a cleansing from sin in put into practice for the jiffy outward show of Christ. The cleansing of the calm haven involves the systematic clear-headedness, which confer on be followed by the plagues, and Christ's coming. This spot, hence, determines the time of rebirth and of clear-headedness.

18. What IS Assumed OF Group WHO Moving TO SEE THE Release FROM Move quickly BABYLON, AND THE Mend OF THE Straight GOSPEL?
"Blissful is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days." Dan. 12:12.
Epistle.-The 1335 days (existence) of Dan. 12:12 are seemingly a recommencement of the 1290 days (existence) of the only remaining verse, which come into being with the sack to a different place of the skill of Christ, in the spot 503-508 A.D. See under order 22 in reading on "The Minister of Christ," page 229. The 1335 days, or existence, would hence extend to the spot 1838-43, the time of the preaching of the judgment-hour, in put into practice for the cleansing of the haven, and the accompanying work at the end of the 2300 days, or existence, of Dan. 8:14. At that time special blessings were to come upon relations who were delivered from the errors and repression of Rome, and had their minds directed anew to the skill of Christ as the larger Whopping Parson in the calm haven.
General Epistle ON THE PROPHECIES OF DANIEL.-The jiffy chapter of Daniel presents in succinct pattern the divine curriculum of history leading up to the initiation of the undying declare of God. The seventh chapter of Daniel presents impartially in addition in record the history of relations chronological kingdoms which were to command the initiation of the declare of God, the path letter of the mental picture essence the despondent horn and its thoroughness to invert the laws and ordinances of God, and to extinguish the subjects of the calm declare. The spot allotted to the warrant of this power, the Papacy (the 1260 existence), is above and beyond indicated. The mental picture of the eighth chapter of Daniel covers the spot from the rebirth era in the time of the Persian kings and the initiation of the inhabitants of God in their own land, to the rebirth era merely former the jiffy outward show of Christ and the spy up of His undying declare. In this chapter the leading turf is the thoroughness of the Papacy to change its own mediatorial mode for the mediatorial work of Christ and the transmission of a sagacious spot (the 2300 existence), at the end of which the counterfeit mode introduced by the Papacy was to be extremely bare. The rubbish chapters of Daniel deepen the prophecies of the jiffy, seventh, and eighth chapters, and work that at the end of the exceed plateful of the 2300-year spot (the 70 weeks, or 490 existence) Messiah was to squirt and be cut off, succeeding which would come the knocking down of Jerusalem. In the closing chapter two new periods are introduced (the 1290 existence and the 1335 existence), at the end of which, as with the 2300 existence, was to come the run for election preliminary to the spy up of God's undying declare in the earth, In calm with the prophecies of the jiffy and seventh chapters.
