 5. WHEN DOES THE HEAVENLY DAY OF ATONEMENT BEGIN?
- At end of 2300 days, or years. Dan. 8:14; (Num. 14:34;
Eze. 4:6).
- Daniel was wise enough to know that earthly sanctuary was a shadow of heavenly. Ex. 25:9; Ps. 51:16, 17.
- 2300 years and 70 "weeks" begin together. Dan. 8:26, 27; 9:22-25. (457 B.C. See Ezra 7:11-21).
- The 69 "weeks" (483 years) bring us to anointing of Christ at His baptism. Dan. 9:25; Acts 4:27; 10:38;
Jn. 1:29. (27 A.D.).
- In the midst of 70th "week" Christ crucified. Dan. 9:26, 27. (31 A.D.). End of the 70 "weeks", or 490 years, was close
of Jews' probation as people or nation of God. When they stoned Stephen, gospel went to Gentiles. Acts 7:59; 13:46.
(34 A.D.).
- Remaining 1810 years (2300 less 490) bring us to 1844
A,D. Cleansing of sanctuary and Day of Atonement same. Lev.
16:29, 30; 23:27.
- Just before second coming of Christ, "everlasting gospel" of justification by faith goes to all world. This message does a
work of judgment as some accept and so me reject. Rev. 14:6, 7, 14; 22:11, 12,
- Although antitypical Day of Atonement began in 1844, it will not be completed until the end of thousand years of Rev. 20.
But High Priestly ministry of Christ will end with the close of probation when His people are sealed. Rev. 7:1-4;
14:1-7;
15:1-8.
