I would be happy to rephrase those calculations clearly and simply for you! Sometimes those technical symbols can make things look much harder than they are 😅.
Here is the cleaned-up explanation, showing the simple math steps that connect Daniel's prophecy to the year 1844.
The Second Segment: The Remaining 2300 Days
The first 490 years (the 70 weeks) were fulfilled perfectly, which confirms that our starting date of B.C. 457 is correct. Now, we use that date to determine the end of the entire 2300-year prophecy.
Calculation of Remaining Time
We must subtract the portion already "cut off" and fulfilled (the 70 weeks) from the total prophetic period.
- Total Prophecy: 2300 Years
- Fulfilled Portion (70 Weeks): 490 Years
- Years Remaining: 2300 minus 490 equals 1810 Years remaining.
Calculation of the Final Date
The remaining 1810 years must be added to the exact date when the 70 weeks ended, which was the autumn of A.D. 34.
- End of 70 Weeks: A.D. 34 (Autumn)
- Remaining Prophecy: 1810 Years
- Prophecy Termination: A.D. 34 plus 1810 years equals A.D. 1844 (Autumn).
The Event: Cleansing the Sanctuary
The prophecy stated that at the end of the 2300 days, the sanctuary would be cleansed Daniel 8:14.
- Location: The sanctuary referred to in this prophecy is the true tabernacle in heaven, where Christ serves as our High Priest Hebrews 8:2. This could not be the cleansing of the literal earthly temple, which had already passed away.
- Action: This cleansing in heaven corresponds to the antitypical Day of Atonement, which is a work of investigative judgment.
- The Conclusion: Therefore, the solemn work of the investigative judgment in the heavenly sanctuary began in the autumn of 1844. This judgment work is the final phase of Christ’s ministry as Priest before He returns as King. The Bible also calls this period the "finishing of the mystery of God" Revelation 10:7.
