Decoding Daniel's 1335-Day Prophecy and the Advent Movement

Daniel 12:12

12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

The 1335-day prophecy of Daniel 12:12 definitively points to the time of the great Advent movement in the mid-19th century, marking a specially blessed period of waiting and watching that followed the unsealing of Daniel's prophecies Daniel 12:12BDOC 51.66+1. Understanding this prophecy is crucial, as it provides specific mention and approval of the historical movement that arose in response to the prophetic light of DanielBDOC 51.66.

Here is a detailed explanation of the 1335-day prophecy:

📅 The Prophetic Principle

The 1335 days, like the other great chronological periods in Daniel and Revelation, operate under the established year-day principle, where one prophetic day represents one literal year Numbers 14:34+1EVRR324+4. This rule is demonstrated by the fulfillment of the seventy weeks and the 1260-day periods in historyEVRR394+3. Thus, the 1335 days symbolize 1,335 literal yearsEVRR324+1.

📍 The Prophecy's Starting Point

The 1335 days Daniel 12:12 are introduced immediately after the 1290 days Daniel 12:11, confirming that both periods must share the same starting pointARSH February 27, 1866, page 100.7+2. This commencement date is defined in Daniel 12:11: "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days" Daniel 12:11.

1. The "Daily": The "daily" refers not to a literal sacrifice, which is a supplied word in the text, but rather to the continual power or abomination of Paganism, which preceded the rise of the PapacyBDOC 25.1+4.

2. The Taking Away: The prophecy specifies the time from when the daily (Paganism) was taken away to set up the abomination that makes desolate (the Papacy)ARSH February 27, 1866, page 100.7+2.

3. The Historical Date: Historical facts confirm that Paganism was removed as the dominant religion of the Roman Empire in A.D. 508EVRR638+5. This date, A.D. 508, marks the beginning of both the 1290-day and 1335-day periodsEVRR324+3.

🗓️ The Termination Date

Reckoning 1,335 years from the start date of A.D. 508 brings the period to its termination in A.D. 1843, or by other calculations, A.D. 1844LJL 42.1+3. This ending point coincides precisely with the termination of the 2300-day prophecy of Daniel 8:14+4.

The period spanning 45 years—the difference between the 1290 years (ending in 1798 with the papacy losing its civil power) and the 1335 years (ending in 1843/1844)—was prophesied to be a time of special blessingMWV2 113.2.

🙏 The Promised Blessing

The verse pronounces a blessing: "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days" Daniel 12:12. This blessing was realized in the great Advent movement, which arose during the time of the end (starting in 1798) and culminated in the widespread expectation of Christ's return in the years leading up to 1844BDOC 51.66+2.

The period of waiting and watching, based on the understanding of Daniel's prophecies, was approved by God, serving as powerful evidence of the divine origin of the Advent movementBDOC 51.66+1. This period witnessed the widespread proclamation that "The time is fulfilled" Mark 1:15 culminating in the judgment-hour message of Revelation 14:6-7+2.

⚖️ Standing in His Lot

The conclusion of Daniel's final instructions speaks of the prophet's own destiny: "But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days" Daniel 12:13.

The phrase "stand in thy lot" does not refer to a resurrection that occurs at the end of the 1335 days, but rather to Daniel's acquittal and position in the decisions of the judgmentDAR1909 343.1+4. This judgment—the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary—commenced immediately in 1844, at the close of the 2300-day periodEVRR324+2. Daniel, resting in death, stands acquitted and honored as his prophetic book was unsealed and his messages were understood by the wise in the time of the end Daniel 12:4, 9, 10BHB 127.7+1.

Any theory suggesting that the 1290 and 1335 days are still future contradicts the foundational pillars of the Advent faith, implying that the book of Daniel remains sealed and that the historical movement of 1843/1844 was based on falsehoodBDOC 51.66+1. We rest assured in the certainty that these periods have been fulfilled, confirming the unfolding of God's plans in human historySTTHD 51.3.
