1
In the 3rd year of the kingship of Belshazzar,
the king, there was a vision that appeared to me, even me, Daniel, after the one
appearing to me at the start [The
vision of Daniel 7 in the first year of Belshazzar].
2
And I began to see in the vision; and it came
about, while I was seeing, that... I was in-Shushan, the castle, which is in-Elam,
the jurisdictional district; and I proceeded to see in the vision, and I myself
happened to be by the watercourse of Ulai [The
sons of the Law Covenant].
3
When I raised my eyes, then I saw, and, look! a
ram, one (rx))
[that was] standing before (to faces of) the watercourse, and it had 2 horns [The
Empire of Media and Persia]. And the 2 horns were
tall, but the one was taller than the other, and the taller was the one that
came up afterward.
4
I saw the ram making thrusts to the sea/west and to
the north and to the negeb/south, and no beasts [other
kingdoms] kept standing before (to faces of) it, and
there was no one doing any delivering out of its hand. And it did according to
its will, and it put on great airs.
5
And I, for my part, kept on considering, and,
look! there was a he-goat (rypc)
of the goats [The Empire of
Greece] coming from the sunset [the
West] upon the surface (faces) of
the whole earth (Cr)) [to the attention
of all administrations], and it was not touching the ground (Cr))
[Alex famously left conquered
administrations intact]. And as regards the he-goat (rypc),
there was a conspicuous horn between its eyes [Alexander
the Great - powerful military visionary].
6
And it kept coming all the way to the ram,
[the] owner of the 2 horns, which I had seen standing before (to
faces of) the watercourse; and it
came running toward it in its powerful rage.
7
And I saw it coming into close touch with the
ram, and it began showing bitterness toward it, and it proceeded to strike down
the ram and to break its 2 of horns, and there proved to be no power in the ram to
stand before (to faces of) it. So it threw it to the ground and trampled it down, and the ram
proved to have no deliverer out of its hand.
8
And [the] he-goat (rypc)
of the goats, for its part, put on
great airs to an extreme; but as soon as it became mighty, the
horn, the large [one] was broken [Alexander
died], and there proceeded to come up conspicuously 4 instead of it [Antigonus
Monophthalmus then Seleucus
Nicator, Cassander, Ptolemy Lagus, Lysimachus], toward the
4 of winds of the heavens [North
South East and West].
9
And out of one of them there came forth another
horn, a small one [Antiochus
Epiphanes - Maccabees 1], and it kept getting very much greater toward the south
[He conquered Egypt] and
toward the sunrising [The
Seleucids held Asia] and toward the Decoration [He
conquered Israel in 170 and removed the gold and treasure].
10
And it kept getting greater all the way to the
army of the heavens [The sons of
Israel and the 2AC], so that it caused some of the army [sons
of Israel and the 2AC] and some of the stars [Sons
of Israel and the JAC] to
fall to the earth [Leave their
spiritual administration, leave their covenants and fall to the physical
administration of Antiochus, even making covenants with them and building a
Greek 'gymnasium' in Jerusalem], and it went trampling them down.
11
And all the way to the Prince of the army [Jesus]
it put
on great airs, and from him the constant [feature] was taken away, and the
established place of his sanctuary was thrown down [Antiochus
attacked Jerusalem again and defiled the temple and set up the abomination
causing desolation on 168Chislev15, putting an idol altar on the altar of the
temple and sacrificing a pig upon it, this threw down the temple, after the
constant feature had been removed].
12
And [the] army [sons of
Israel and the 2AC] was given over,
together with the constant [feature], due to transgression [The
transgression causing desolation was wicked Jews who made covenants with the
Greeks. This lead to a new
unified world order of idolatry at the command of Antiochus]. And it kept
throwing truth to the ground [hiding
truth in its administration], and it acted and had success.
13
And I got to hear a certain holy one speaking,
and another holy one proceeded to say to the particular one who was speaking:
How long will the vision be [of] the constant [feature] [used
as an adjective] and the transgression
causing desolation, to make both [the] holy place and [the] army things to
trample on? [How long will it be
from the transgression causing desolation to the restoration?]
14
So he said to me: Until evening [and] morning 2300, and [the] holy place will certainly be brought into its right
condition/restored [The
priesthood was corrupted at the appointment of Jason as high priest through a
bribe to Antiochus in 174BC. The temple was restored and the altar rededicated by
Judas Maccabeus on 165Chislev25 in the 148th year of the Kingdom of Greece over
Israel. This being the origin of Hanukkah] (Daniel 8).
Verses 1,2,15,27 contain narrative. We separate the vision from the narrative?? The 2300 evenings and mornings start with the transgression that causes desolation, and then on 168Chislev15, due to that transgression, the constant feature is removed. Throughout the period the holy place and the army and trampled on. The holy place is restored 3 years after the end of the period along with the constant feature.

Atiochus Epiphanes died in 164. But the news of his death would not have reached Jerusalem from Persia immediately, so the date of his death, could not have caused happiness/blessedness. Also the last time they heard such news in 168, it turned out to be false! But the peace treaty with freedom of worship would have caused happiness/blessedness immediately. And was an archetype for the Kingdom of God. So that was the end of the 1335 days of enforced Hellenism.
The 1290 and 1335 days must start with a breaking of the power of the holy people to pieces - Daniel 12:7.

An appointed time, appointed times and a half (a day) 1080½ days=2161
lambs
The constant feature occurred every half day, hence it is natural to take the ambiguous expression 'and a half' to be half a day. Certainly there was a reason why God did not just write '3½ Times'. The 'start' in verse 1 was the first year of Belshazzar, when he had the vision of Daniel 7. According to Maccabees 1, Antiochus took Jerusalem in the 143rd year of the kingdom of the Greeks (as a world power 1Maccabees1:21). Then on Chislev15 in the 145th year of the kingdom of the Greeks, the abomination causing desolation (an idol altar) was set up on the altar in the temple in Jerusalem (1 Maccabees 1:54). Then on the Chislev25 in that year, 10 days later, they sacrificed upon the idol altar which was upon the altar of God, defiling it. Then on the Chislev25 in the 148th year of the kingdom of the Greeks, they restarted true worship in the temple, having cleaned it up and rebuilt it. They dedicated the altar in an 8 day long ceremony (1 Maccabees 4:52-56). They did not storm the sanctuary when they first took Jerusalem:
The they built the city of David with a great and strong wall and with mighty towers and made it a stronghold for them. And they put therein a sinful nation, wicked men, and fortified themselves therein. They stored it also with armour and victuals, and when they had gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem, they laid them up there and so they became a sore snare. For it was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil adversary to Israel (1 Maccabees 1:33-36).
Josephus also has Antiochus taking Jerusalem in the 143rd year of the Seleucids (Antiquities of the Jews book 12:chapter 5).
The modern day pigs on the altar are the 1NC reserves, unclean in flesh, but offered to God through their covenant. They leave legion and enter into the pigs and then get baptized in the lake of the 4EC.
Jason (Aaronic), the brother of Onias III, the previous high priest, was
incorrectly appointed by a Gentile through a bribe (not by genetic succession).
He is prefiguring the Watchtower priesthood without a water baptism, and so not
the official people of God (Jews).
Menelaus, a non levitical high priest prefigures the Watchtower priesthood when
it became a false church, unable to offer a sacrifice. Jason and Menelaus were
Greek names not Hebrew names.
Alexander the great died in 323. The Seleucid kingdom began in 312 with the defeat of Demetrius Poliorcetes at Gaza by Ptolemy and Seleucus Nicator - CAH - The Hellenistic World Vol 7.1). This opened the door for Seleucus to retake Babylonia, which he did immediately in that year. 312 was the first year of the Kingdom of the Greeks over Israel, the Seleucid era. In 311 Ptolemy Lagos, Cassander, Lysimachus and Antigonus Monophthalmus signed a peace agreement to divide up the Kingdom of Alexander into 4 but as prophesied in Daniel 8 (4 Kingdoms) and in Daniel 11 (but not to his posterity). And then in 305 Ptolemy, Cassander, Lysimachus and Seleucus Nicator declared themselves 'kings' over the 4 quarters of the Greek empire, Seleucus having made conquests against Antigonus (in final fulfilment of the words of Daniel). Antiochus Epiphanes started reigning in the 137th year of the Seleucid kingdom, 176 (1 Maccabees 1) and took as regnal years 175 to 164 (CAH). He died in 164, the 149th year of the Seleucids (1 Maccabees 6).
After Jerusalem fell, Antiochus sent letters to Judah and Jerusalem that everyone should worship Seleucid Gods such as Apollo, or die physically.
Moreover Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom, that all should be one people, and every one should leave his laws: so all the heathen agreed according to the commandment of the king. Yea, many also of the Israelites consented to his religion and sacrificed unto idols and profaned the sabbath. For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusalem and the cities of Juda, that they should follow the strange laws of the land and forbid burnt offerings and sacrifice and drink offerings in the temple. And that they should profane the sabbaths and the festival days and pollute the sanctuary and the holy people, set up altars and groves and chapels of idols and sacrifice swine's flesh and unclean beasts, that they should also leave their children uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation, to the end that they might forget the law and change all the ordinances. And whosoever would not do according to the commandment of the king, he said, he should die.(1 Maccabees 1:41-50)
In those days went there out of Israel wicked men, who persuaded many, saying: Let us go and make a covenant with the heathen that are round about us, for since we departed from them we have had much sorrow. So this device pleased them well. Then certain of the people were so forward herein that they went to the king, who gave them licence to do after the ordinances of the heathen. Whereupon they built a place of exercise at Jerusalem according to the customs of the heathen, and made themselves uncircumcised (not quite sure how you do that) and forsook the holy covenant and joined themselves to the heathen and were sold to do mischief (1 Maccabees 1:11-15).
The behaviour of the wicked Jews is identical to that of the Watchtower in becoming a UN NGO and the subsequent commandment of Antiochus is very similar to the position that the UN will eventually take with all religion.

14
To this he said: No, but I, as prince of the army of Jehovah,
I have now come. With that Joshua fell on his face to the earth and prostrated
himself and said to him: What is my lord saying to his servant?
15
In turn the
prince of the army of Jehovah said to Joshua: Draw your sandals from off your
feet, because the place on which you are standing is holy. At once Joshua did so
(Joshua 5).
3
And you must say to them: This is the offering made by fire
that you will present to Jehovah: two sound year-old male lambs a day as a burnt
offering constantly.
4
The one male lamb you will render up in the morning, and
the other male lamb you will render up between the two evenings (Numbers 28).
15 Then it came about that, while I myself,
Daniel, was seeing the vision (Nwzx) and seeking an understanding, why, look!
...there was
standing in front of me someone in appearance like an able-bodied man [rbg].
16 And I began to hear the voice of an earthling man
[Md)] in the midst
of the Ulai, and he proceeded to call out and say: Gabriel, make that one there
understand the thing seen (hr)m).
17 So he came beside where I was standing, but when
he came I got terrified so that I fell upon my face (faces). And he proceeded to say to
me: Understand, Oh son of man, that the vision is for the time of [the] end [of
the Law of Moses].
18 And while he was speaking with me, I had become
fast asleep on my face (faces) on the ground. So he touched me and made me stand up where
I had been standing.
19 And he went on to say: Here I am causing you to
know what will occur in the final part of the denunciation, because it is for
the appointed time of [the] end.
20 The ram that you saw,
[the] owner of the 2 horns,
[stands for] [the] kings of Media and Persia.
21 And the
he-goat, the hairy [one] (ry(#), [stands for]
[the] king of
Greece; and the horn, the large [one]
that was between its eyes, it [stands for] the
king, the first [king] [Alexander].
22 And that one having been broken, so that there
were 4 that stood up instead of it, there are 4 of kingdoms from [his]
nation that will stand up, but not with his power [The
Kingdoms of his 4 generals - Antigonus
Monopthalmus/Seleucus Nicator, Cassander, Ptolemy
Lagus, Lysimachus].
23 And in the final part of their kingdom, as the
transgressors act to a completion, there will stand up a king fierce in
countenance and understanding ambiguous sayings [Good
at political deception - Antiochus Epiphanes used deception all the time on the
Jews].
24 And his power must become mighty, but not by his
own power. And in an astonishing way he will cause ruin [by
introducing a new unified world order of idolatry], and he will certainly
prove successful and do effectively. And he will actually bring mighty ones to
ruin, also the people made up of [the] holy ones.
25 And according to his insight he will also
certainly cause deception to succeed in his hand. And in his heart he will put
on great airs, and during a freedom from care he will bring many to ruin. And
against the Prince of princes he will stand up, but it will be without hand that
he will be broken [He died in misery and grief
at the revolt of the Jews realising that his demise was a result of his
persecution of their religion, i.e. as a result of
angelic actions - 1 Maccabees 6].
26 And the thing seen of the evening and
[of] the morning [making a whole day], which has been said, it is true. And you, for your part, keep
secret the vision, because [it is] about many days...
27 And as for me, Daniel, I felt exhausted and was
made sick for [some] days. Then I got up and did the work of the king. But I
kept showing myself numbed on account of the thing seen, and there was nobody
understanding [it].
Double designations:
A ram, one standing before the watercourse
The ram, [the] owner of the 2 horns
The he-goat, the hairy [one]
The horn, the large [one]
The king, the first [one]
Multiple Descriptions:
Army of the heavens, Army
Prince of the army, Prince of princes
Watercourse, Watercourse of Ulai
Thing seen, Thing seen of the evening and morning
So there are two fulfilments to the 'thing seen' in each word symbolic thread.
Multiple Designations:
Ram, [the] owner of 2 horns.
So there are 2 word symbolic kingdoms described by these designations. These
are the kingdom of all Israel (North and South), and Christendom (Catholic and
Protestants).
Prophetic forms: Me, even me, Daniel, and: I, myself, Daniel. These mean there are 3 Daniels in all.

1
In the 3rd year of the kingship of Belshazzar
[WSS1 - 70Nisan-71Nisan], there was a vision
[The first word symbolic thread
of Daniel 8] that appeared to
me, even me, Daniel [Paul], after the one
appearing to me at the start [on
the road to Damascus].
2
And I began to see in the vision,
and it came
about, while I was seeing, that... I was in-Shushan, the castle, which is in-Elam,
the jurisdictional district; and I proceeded to see in the vision, and I myself
happened to be by [the] watercourse of Ulai [Those
water baptised into FDS2].
3
When I raised my eyes, then I saw, and, look! a
ram [The Kingdom of
all Israel], and it had 2
horns [The Northern and Southern
Kingdoms]. And the 2 horns were
tall, but the one was taller than the other, and the taller was the one that
came up afterward [The Northern
Kingdom was larger and came later].
4
I saw the ram [from King David
to Judas Maccabeus] making thrusts to the sea/west [The
Philistines] and to
the north and to the south [From
the Nile to the Euphrates to Tyre and Sidon], and no wild beasts [other
kingdoms] kept standing before it [for
long], and
there was no one doing any delivering out of its hand. And it did according to
its will, and it put on great airs.
5
And I, for my part, kept on considering, and,
look! there was a he-goat of the goats [A
true Christian Church] coming from the sunset [The
Kingdom of God] upon the surface of
the whole earth [to the attention
of the whole administration of Israel], and it was not touching the
ground [the administration of
Israel]. And as regards the he-goat [The
whole true Christian Church],
there was a conspicuous horn between its eyes [Jesus,
the power and vision of the church].
6
And it kept coming all the way to the
ram [The
Kingdom of all Israel],
which I had seen standing before the watercourse [Those
water baptised by John] and it
came running toward it in its powerful rage.
7
And I saw it coming into close touch with the
ram, and it began showing bitterness toward it, and it proceeded to strike down
the ram and to break its 2 of horns [The
religious administrations of Judah and Samaria], and there proved to be no power in the ram to
stand before it. So it threw it to the ground and trampled it down, and the ram
proved to have no deliverer out of its hand.
8
And [the] he-goat of the goats [The
first true Christian church], for its part, put on
great airs to an extreme; but as soon as it became mighty, the
horn, was broken [Jesus
was murdered], and there proceeded to come up conspicuously 4 instead of it [FDS1,
FDS2, FDS3, FDS4] toward the
4 of winds of the heavens [the
4 spirit baptisms into the 1NC, the HHC, the 2NC and the EHC].
9
And out of one of them there came forth another
horn, a small one [WSS1 out of
FDS1], and it kept getting very much greater toward the south [the
Egyptians] and
toward the sunrising [The
Babylonians and other easterners] and toward the Decoration [the
sons of Israel].
10
And it kept getting greater all the way to the
army of the heavens [The sons of
the JAC], so that it caused some of the army [the
sons of the 2AC] and some of the stars [the
sons of the 1NC] to
fall to the earth [fall from
heavenly administration to physical earthly administration - lose faith], and it went trampling them
down [repressing them].
11
And all the way to the Prince of the army [Jesus]
it put
on great airs, and from him the constant [feature] [sufficient
true Christians so that some are always in true worship] was taken
away [all of TCC1
disfellowshipped], and the
established place of his sanctuary was thrown down [not
a living stone left upon a living stone].
12
And an army itself was given over,
together with the constant [feature], due to transgression [Idolatary
of Romans or Roman Gods], and it kept
throwing truth to the ground [hiding
truth in its administration], and it acted and had success.
13
And I got to hear a certain holy one speaking,
and another holy one proceeded to say to the particular one who was speaking [There
are going to be two fulfilments of this, one for each holy one]:
How long will the vision be [of] the constant [feature] and [of] the transgression
[both used as adjectives]
causing desolation, to make both [the] holy place and [the] army things to
trample on? [How long will it be
from the transgression causing desolation to the restoration?]
14
So he said to me: Until evening [and] morning 2300, and [the] holy place will certainly be brought into its right
condition/restored...
15 Then it came about that, while I myself, Daniel [Paul], was seeing the vision
(Nwzx) [The
first word symbolic thread] and seeking an understanding, why, look!...
there was
standing in front of me someone in appearance like an able-bodied man.
16 And I began to hear the voice of an earthling man in the midst
of the Ulai, and he proceeded to call out and say: Gabriel, make that one there
understand the thing seen (hr)m) [The
first word symbolic meaning].
17 So he came beside where I was standing, but when
he came I got terrified so that I fell upon my face [turned
his attention away from bible research out of fear of its glory]. And he proceeded to say to
me: Understand, Oh son of man [Paul was a
submediator of the JAC], that the vision is for the time of [the] end [of
the Jewish system of things - the ram].
18 And while he was speaking with me, I had become
fast asleep on my face on the ground [Paul
fell asleep spiritually for a while, turning his attention to physical things,
and Gabriel had to wake him up]. So he touched me and made me stand up where
I had been standing.
19 And he went on to say: Here I am causing you to
know what will occur in the final part of the denunciation, because it is for
the appointed time of [the] end [of TCC1].
20 The ram that you saw,
[stands for] [the] kings of Media and Persia [The
religious administrations of Judah
and Israel].
21 And the he-goat,
[stands for] [the] king of Greece [The
Christian church], and the horn, that was between its eyes, it [stands for]
the king [Jesus,
the head of the Christian church].
22 And that one having been broken [murdered], so that there
were 4 that stood up instead of it, there are 4 of kingdoms from [his]
nation that will stand up, but not with his power [FDS1,
FDS2, FDS3, FDS4].
23 And in the final part of their
kingdom [plural kings, singular kingdom, so it
is the kingdom of the kings of Media and Persia, which are the religious
administrations of Judah and
Israel], as the
transgressors act to a completion, there will stand up a king [WSS1]
fierce in
countenance and understanding ambiguous sayings.
24 And his power must become mighty, but not by his
own power. And in an astonishing way he will cause ruin, and he will certainly
prove successful and do effectively. And he will actually bring mighty ones to
ruin, also the people made up of [the] holy ones [TCC1].
25 And according to his insight he will also
certainly cause deception to succeed in his hand. And in his heart he will put
on great airs, and during a freedom from care he will bring many to ruin. And
against the Prince of princes [Peter]
he will stand up, but it will be without hand that
he will be broken [the holy spirit will break
him].
26 And the thing seen (hr)m)
of the evening and the morning [The meaning of
the 2300 evening and mornings], which has been said, it is true. And you, for your part, keep
secret the vision, because [ it is] about many days...
27 And as for me, Daniel, I felt exhausted and was
made sick for [some] days. Then I got up and did the work of Belshazzar.
But I
kept showing myself numbed on account of the thing seen (hr)m), and there was nobody
understanding [it] (Daniel 8).
| 2300 Evenings and Mornings (First fulfilment, evening) | 2300 Solar days from the death of Jesus, the transgression causing desolation to Israel, to the adoption of the name of Christians at Antioch. This adoption was the mark of approval from Jesus, that the temple sanctuary of the living stones (FDS1) was fully restored. 33April1 to 39July19, 33Nisan14 to 39Ab9/10 |
| 2300 Evenings and Mornings (Second fulfilment, morning) | 2300 Solar days from the transgression causing desolation to FDS1 to the restoration of the temple and the constant feature in FDS2. From John 21 we know that Peter was mislead by WSS1/GNS1 for 120 months (10 years to the month). So he joined FDS2 in 79Nisan. Peter was quick to respond to his masters voice as we know from the account of them fishing on the wrong side of the boat in John 21. So Peter would have been one of the first 1NC saints to join FDS2. And once Peter had joined FDS2, the game was over. So the sanctuary was restored in 79Nisan. So the transgression causing desolation occurred 2300 solar days before this sometime between 72Heshvan11 and 72Chislev (72November12-72December11). This transgression was idolatry with Rome and was the birth of the Roman Catholic Church. The restoration on the other hand, 2300 solar days later is was the restarting of the first presence, which had ended in 75Nisan, 46 years after John's baptism started. It restarted in 78Tishri, 3½ years of Daniel 12 later. Peter joined TCC2 in 79Nisan, 10 years of John21 later. |
26 It was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians (Acts 11).
So to sum up diagrammatically we have:
Pharisees commit idolatry with Romans
Jerusalem condemns Jesus, Romans don't
FDS1 take the name 'Christians' in Antioch
Transgression causing desolation to
Jews
Holy place brought into right condition
1 April 33 AD (33Nisan14)
19th July 39 AD (39Ab9/10)

What did the Romans ever do for us? They exonerated Jesus Christ! There is no abomination causing desolation in the evening fulfilment (the first one in the presence). The Abomination causing desolation of Daniel 12 was to the temple of FDS1, by the Roman state. FDS1 had the constant feature all through the vision period.

2300 Solar Days
Jesus has the constant feature removed from him. Jesus has authority over the saints. So there is a period when all the saints are in a false religion and therefore unable to worship him. So GNS1 became a false religion before Peter and other 1NC saints joined FDS2 restarting the constant feature. Although it is possible that Paul had enough sons of Bilhah, sons of the EHC in FDS2 to make a constant feature before the 1NC saints came in. Also the transgression causing desolation to FDS1 must happen whilst it still has authority over the saints, i.e. before 69Nisan1.
61 This man said: I am able to throw down the
temple of God and build it up in three days.
62 With that the high priest stood up and said to him:
Have you no answer? What is it these are testifying against you? (Matthew 26).
Jesus throws down the temple of GNS1 and builds up the temple of FDS2 in three days. These days really are the day of WSS1, the day of GNS1 and the day of FDS2 being in the right condition. But just as in the case of his resurrection, it is possible that the new temple might be restored fully on the third literal day after the temple of GNS1 is knocked down??.
Substitute 'ram' with 'one standing before the watercourse'. Substitute nouns acting as nouns only.
1
In the 3rd year of the kingship of the king,
[3rd year of Gordon's kingship
over all of the sons of the 2AC - the 1st year started in 2001Elul since the
Watchtower was disfellowshipped on 2001Tammuz1] there was a vision [The
second word symbolic thread of Daniel 8] that appeared to
me, even me, Daniel [Gordon], after the one
appearing to me at the start [1992
when Gordon started decoding Daniel 8 and deduced that the time of the end began
on 1992February1, 1991Shebat21].
2
And I began to see in the vision; and it came
about, while I was seeing, that... I was in-Shushan, the castle, which is in-Elam,
the jurisdictional district; and I proceeded to see in the vision, and I myself
happened to be by the watercourse of Ulai [Those
water baptised into FDS4].
3
When I raised my eyes, then I saw, and, look! one (rx))
standing before the
watercourse [Sons of the
2AC], and it had 2 horns [FDS4,
2 presidents]. And the 2 horns were
tall, but the one was taller than the other, and the taller was the one that
came up afterward [the second
president has more people and more decoded
knowledge].
4
I saw [the] one (rx))
standing before the
watercourse [Sons of the
2AC]) making thrusts to the sea/west [around
the Mediterranean] and to
the north [Europe and Russia]
and to the dryness/south [ex
sons of the 2AC], and no wild beasts [other
religions] kept standing before it, and
there was no one doing any delivering out of its hand [2001Elul
to 2006Elul?]. And it did according to
its will, and it put on great airs.
5
And I, for my part, kept on considering, and,
look! there was a he-goat of the goats [FDS3]
coming from the sunset [The
Kingdom of God] upon the surface of
the whole earth [to the attention
of all the churches in Christendom], and it was not touching the
ground [Keeping clear of
Christendom]. And as regards the
hairy [one] [covered in the
'great crowd'],
there was a conspicuous horn between its eyes [Russell].
6
And it kept coming all the way to [the]
owner of the 2 horns, which I had seen standing before the
watercourse [FDS4 which now had
the water baptism into the 2AC], and it
came running toward it in its powerful rage.
7
And I saw it coming into close touch with [the]
owner of the 2 horns [Christendom], and it began showing bitterness toward it, and it proceeded to strike down
[the] owner
of the 2 horns [Christendom]
and to break its 2 of horns [Catholics
and Protestants], and there proved to be no power in [the]
owner of the 2 horns [Christendom]
to
stand before it. So it threw it to the ground and trampled it down, and [the]
owner of the 2 horns [Christendom]
proved to have no deliverer out of its hand [5
Presidents].
8
And [the] he-goat of the goats [FDS3], for its part, put on
great airs to an extreme; but as soon as it became mighty, the
large [one] [Russell]
was
broken, and there proceeded to come up conspicuously 4 instead of it [Rutherford,
Knorr, Franz, Henschel], toward the
4 of winds of the heavens [North
South East and West, over 200 countries].
9
And out of one of them there came forth another
horn, a small one [True
head of GNS2], and it kept getting very much greater toward the
negeb/south [Those who had lost
their water baptism - the ex sons of the 3EC in TCC3] and
toward the sunrising [Eastern
Europe] and toward the Decoration [over
the remnant of the 1NC].
10
And it kept getting greater all the way to the
army of the heavens [The sons of
the JAC], so that it caused some from the army [The
ex sons of the 3EC] and some from the stars [The
sons of the 1NC] to
fall to the earth [lose heavenly
focus, lose faith], and it went trampling them down.
11
And all the way to the Prince of the army [Melchizedek]
it put
on great airs, and from him
[GNS2]
the constant [feature] [sufficient
true Christians so that some are always teaching, evangelising or researching] was taken away, and the
established place of his sanctuary
[The sanctuary of GNS2]
was thrown down [not
a living stone was left upon a stone].
12
And an army itself [The sons and
ex sons of the 3EC] was given over,
together with the constant [feature], due to transgression
[given over to Satan, becoming a false church
on 2004Elul14, losing its global 1AC baptism]; and it kept
throwing truth to the ground [belittling
it], and it acted and had success.
13
And I got to hear a certain holy one speaking,
and another holy one proceeded to say to the particular one who was speaking [There
are going to be two fulfilments of this, one for each holy one]:
How long will the vision be [of] the constant [feature] and [of] the transgression,
causing desolation, to make both [the] holy place and [the] army things to
trample on? [How long will it be
from the transgression causing desolation to the end of the constant feature or
to the restoration?]
14
So he said to me: Until evening [and] morning 2300 [this
is 4600 solar days in Word2. It is 2300 evenings with associated mornings and
2300 mornings with associated evenings, making 4600 solar days], and [the] holy place will certainly be brought into its right
condition/restored [perhaps at
the immediate end of the 2300 evenings and mornings or perhaps years after that]...
15 Then it came about that, while
I myself, Daniel, was seeing the vision (Nwzx)
and seeking an understanding, why, look! ...there was
standing in front of me someone in appearance like an able-bodied man.
16 And I began to hear the voice of an earthling man in the midst
of the Ulai, and he proceeded to call out and say: Gabriel, make that one there
understand the thing seen (hr)m).
17 So he came beside where I was standing, but when
he came I got terrified so that I fell upon my face. And he proceeded to say to
me: Understand, Oh son of man, that the vision is for the time of [the] end [well
it gives the time of the end of the Watchtower, from the transgression causing
desolation of the UN idolatry, which was its judicial end, 1992January28, to the
day upon which it becomes a false religion
at the end of the second period of 4600 solar days on 2004September1, the start
of the 2004 Service year for them, 2004Elul14. But the time
of the end of the world runs from 2008Nisan14 to 2012Heshvan27, the end of the
world judicially, until the end of the world physically]
18 And while he was speaking with me, I had become
fast asleep on my face on the ground. So he touched me and made me stand up where
I had been standing.
19 And he went on to say: Here I am causing you to
know what will occur in the final part of the denunciation, because it is for
the appointed time of [the] end [of the
Watchtower]
20 [The]
owner of the 2 horns [Christendom],
[stands for] [the] kings of Media and Persia [Catholics
and Protestants].
21 And
the hairy [one], [stands for] [the] king of Greece [FDS3], and
the large [one] that was between its eyes, it [stands for]
the first [Russell].
22 And that one having been broken, so that there
were 4 that stood up instead of it, there are 4 of kingdoms from [his]
nation [under Rutherford, Knorr, Franz and
Henschel] that will stand up, but not with his power.
23 And in the final part of their kingdom, as the
transgressors act to a completion, there will stand up a king fierce in
countenance and understanding ambiguous sayings [Head
of GNS2].
24 And his power must become mighty, but not by his
own power. And in an astonishing/wonderful way he will cause ruin, and he will certainly
prove successful and do effectively. And he will actually bring mighty ones to
ruin [He will ruin the 1NC and 2NC saints], also the people made up of [the] holy
ones [Those in the Watchtower under GNS2].
25 And according to his insight he will also
certainly cause deception to succeed in his hand. And in his heart he will put
on great airs, and during a freedom from care he will bring many to ruin. And
against the Prince of princes [Melchizedek/Gordon]
he will stand up, but it will be without hand [like
the stone of Daniel2] that
he will be broken [the holy spirit will break
him].
26 And the thing seen of the evening and
[of] the morning [The meaning of the 2300
evening and mornings], which has been said, it is true. And you, for your part, keep
secret the vision, because [it is] for/about many days...
27 And as for me, Daniel [Gordon], I felt exhausted
[you bet] and was
made sick for [some] days. Then I got up and did the work of the king [Jesus
- Daniel works for God - rather than commercial software design!]. But I
kept showing myself numbed on account of the thing seen, and there was nobody
understanding [it] (Daniel 8).
The evening and morning fulfilments are measured in days say Gabriel in verse 26. This is ambiguous deliberately. In the second word symbolic thread, an evening stands for a day and a morning stands for a day, so 2300 evenings and mornings is 4600 solar days.
In the Columbus Ohio convention from July24-30 1931, the Watchtower bible students took the name Jehovah's witnesses (in fact on July 26th). This convention was actually the time that the 2300 evenings and mornings of Daniel 8 were fulfilled in the first fulfillment of the second presence. If we count back 4600 solar days from the first day of the convention i.e. July 24th 1931 we end up on December 19th 1918.
Now on December 12th 1918 the Federal council of churches of Christ in America excelled themselves in idolatry by passing the following resolution:
... The time has come to organize the world for truth and right, justice and humanity. To this end, as Christians, we urge the establishment of a League of Free Nations at the coming Peace Conference (which was in Versailles -ed). Such a League is not a mere political expedient. It is rather the political expression of the Kingdom of God on earth... The Church has much to give and much to gain. It can give powerful sanction by imparting to the new international order something of the prophetic glory of the Kingdom of God. What is the Kingdom of God, if it not be the triumph of God's will in affairs of men, "righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit"? And what is this vision of a world federation of humanity organized on the basis of justice and fair dealing, for the effective and impartial maintenance of peace, if it be not of the Kingdom of God?
The Federal council of churches also passed a resolution to appoint a Special Commission to represent them and to take the resolution to the Peace Conference. The resolution was sent to President Wilson in a letter dated December 18th 1918.
So here was the harlotry of Babylon with the League, the church was jumping on the beast before it came into existence. Counting 4600 days after the date of this letter we end up on the day before the convention where JHWH gave his name to the Watchtower bible students, showing that the holy place was now in the right condition. In other words the 4600 days count exclusively.
4600 Solar days rather than lunar days, because the 2300 evenings and mornings are a vision of the constant feature, and this was a genuine daily feature, not a prophetic Hebrew calendar feature. And 4600 rather than 2300 because the constant feature occurred two times in a day, or putting in another way in 2300 evenings and mornings there were 4600 constant feature sacrifices. So the constant feature occurred 4600 times in this period, so then take a day for a constant feature and we get 4600 days.
14 Until 2300 evenings and mornings and the holy place will certainly be brought into the right condition (Daniel8).
And the holy place is earthly Jerusalem, the administrative centre, the FDS3. It came into the right condition at the time of the Columbus Ohio convention, not by announcement in the Watchtower magazine on October 15, 1932 (YW p216) as is currently proposed in the Daniel book (Your will be done on earth - JW publication), a date arrived at by counting 2300 literal days from the convention at the famous Albert Hall on May 25-31 1926. Jehovah must have brought his sanctuary into the right condition by July 1931 because if he had not done so then we would be in a situation where his name would have been given to something which was not in the right condition and this is impossible.
The second fulfillment of the 2300 evening and mornings is from the start of the time of the end until the end, since Gabriel has told us that:
17 Understand, Oh Son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end (Daniel 8).
And they end with the restoration of the temple of FDS4.
Gordon himself first calculated that Armageddon was in 2008 CE, from a parallel to the Gentile and Alienation Times (this parallel was to become the prophecy of the Exedenic Times on 21 January 1992). He did not get an explicit bible witness to the Exedenic Times, which first came in the form of the curse of Cain of Genesis 4:15, until the day of February 1, 1992 (before 6pm). So counting inclusively the 4600 days end on 2004September 4th (before 6pm) or 2004Elul16. But this is the day of the second passover, the second new covenant celebration. A good day for the temple of FDS4 to be restored (actually having some 1NC saint in it).
The main recollection that he now has of February 1, is that he had a pizza with some of the brothers and a sister that evening (1991Shebat22). The sister asked the writer:
"Have you worked out when Armageddon is yet?"
The writer thought to himself: She has asked this question on exactly the right day, because today I know for a fact that it's 2008, because I have just understood the greater meaning of the curse of Cain. The writer then said to the sister: "Yes". She replied: "So when is it?" The writer then said:
"You will never reach 50!"
It is not necessary for there to have been a convention to mark this date because there was no action taken by the society to correspond with this prophecy, because they are sad hypocrites unworthy of their founder. The writer himself did not turn his attention to the book of Daniel until early March. Daniel itself was therefore allowed to be unsealed by holy spirit by the time that the writer actually had a look at it with a view to understanding its greater meanings.
Now unbeknown to Gordon or to 5 million JWs, the Watchtower joined the UN as an NGO on January 28th 1992 - woops - see [246], 3 days before Gordon worked out the date of Armageddon. So the transgression causing desolation occurred 3 days before the time of the end began, so the 4600 days had the transgression causing desolation until 2001October9 and had the constant feature right until 2004Elul14, when the 1AC capability of the Watchtower was lost and it became a false religion like the catholics. So one or other was the case all the way through the 4600 days.
The Watchtower actually acknowledge that the UN is the disgusting thing that will cause desolation to God's people. They just failed for 10 years to acknowledge that they were riding on its back.
So the second presence evening fulfilment (which came first) of the 4600 days, which started with the Federal Council of churches associating themselves with the LN (League of Nations), is followed by the morning fulfilment (which came second in the Hebrew day) of the 4600 days, which started with Gordon working out the date of Armageddon and with the Watchtower associating themselves with the UN. And the first was the transgression that caused desolation to the great Harlot of Babylon, the Babylon without, and the second was the transgression that caused desolation to the harlot of the Evil slave, the Babylon within. Because at the end of the day, both harlots are left devastated and naked, both harlots are desolated, incredibly by the same beast and for the same transgression.
It's like Daniel said to Belshazzar, referring to Nebuchadnezzar his father:
22 And as for you, his son, Belshazzar, you have not humbled your heart although
you knew all this.
23 But against the Lord of the heavens you exalted yourself
(Daniel 5).
| 2300 Evenings and Mornings (First fulfilment, evening) | 4600 Solar days from the resolution of the Federal Council of Churches in the US to the League of Nations declaring them to be the political expression of the Kingdom of God on earth. To the first day of the Columbus Ohio Convention of the Jehovah's witnesses on 1931July24, during which they took the name Jehovah's witnesses. This name is only given when the sanctuary is restored and the constant feature is in place. |
| 2300 Evenings and Mornings (Second fulfilment, morning) | 4600 Solar days from the transgression causing desolation to FDS3 to the end of the constant feature on 2004Elul14. FDS3 became a UN NGO on January 28th 1992. This was their transgression causing desolation to them. Gordon worked out the date of the end on 1991Shebat21 (1992 February 1st in the day), perhaps God gave him this as a response to the idolatry of the Watchtower. 2004Elul17, is the day according to Daniel 12 (1290 days before 2008Nisan17), when the constant feature is turned aside/rmoved from the Watchtower to the LWs. The abomination causing desolation is some agreement between Laodicea and the Watchtower which shows a total lack of faith in God. It is an agreement to keep all the LW understanding quiet in the Watchtower. God's response was to invalidate Watchtower field service on the first day of the 2004 service year 2004September1. The Watchtower refused to teach what he was asking them to teach so he rejected them entirely. |

2300 Solar Days
The 2300 evenings and mornings could actually be regarded as 1150 days since such a period contains 2300 instances of evenings and mornings. Or they could simply be 2300 days. When they are 2300 evenings with associated mornings and 2300 mornings with associated evenings then we have 4600 solar days. When they are 2300 evenings and mornings associated with each other then we have 2300 solar days.
All transgressions that cause desolation are the same. They are the idolatry of a 'new' 'unifying' world order by an old true religion. The Jews fell for the new unifying world order of Antiochus Epiphanes, they then killed Jesus in a further transgression. The first century Christians fell for the new religious unifying world order of the Roman Catholic church (even Peter himself fell at first). Christendom fell for the new unifying world order of the League of Nations. The Watchtower fell for the new unifying world order of the United Nations. And now we think on 2010Adar11, 616 days before the end of Adamic man, all the world will be required to accept the mark of the UN, which is the approval of the UN. All corporate entities will be required to become UN NGOs and be 'married' to the UN and therefore take its name. All individual humans will be required to register with the UN, they will then get a UN ID number, the number of its name. And nearly all of these people and corporations will think and believe the lie that this is a brand new and brilliant idea to combat terrorism. This is because these people have given up thinking for themselves, they have given up researching man's history for themselves. They have become like the lemming that follows others over the cliff and like the bull that follows the lead bull into the Abattoir. They are the pilot whales who follow the lead whale onto the beach. This is not a knew idea, it is an old trick of Satan. It is a trick that he has used no less that 4 times already! It is always a mechanism for him to destroy the true religion. But this time it won't work on the true people of God. May God give us the strength and vision to stay faithful.

Technical Notes
The 3.5 years of drought of the earlier bank ended with the first water baptism of John in 29Nisan and so started in 25Tishri. He said:
9 and do not presume to say to yourselves, 'As a father we have Abraham.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones (Matthew 3).
For in fact no Pharisee has Abraham as a father through the 2AC at that time due to the drought. The stones were those who John had already baptised. For the scripture says...
4 Paul said: John baptized with the baptism [in symbol] of
repentance telling the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in
Jesus. (Acts 19).
So those baptised by John, who actually listened to him, would become stones,
when they were sanctified.
The finishing of the dashing of the power of the holy people to pieces is the placing of the disgusting thing that causes desolation. Because once the altar is defiled one cannot sacrifice on it any more and so the holy people have no priesthood which is their power. So the end of the 1260 days is the start of the 1290 days.
Mark of beast is approval (c.f. Jerusalem mark in Ezekiel)

The BLC differs from the Hebrew Calendar in use at the time of Jesus by a few days. In Jesus' day they actually watched the phases of the moon to get the month. So since the lunar month is around 29.5 days long the months were basically as follows:
| Month | Number of Days in First Century Hebrew Calendar | Number of Days in BLC |
| Nisan | 30 | 30 |
| Iyyar | 29 | 30 |
| Sivan | 30 | 30 |
| Tammuz | 29 | 30 |
| Ab | 30 | 30 |
| Elul | 29 | 30 |
| Tishri | 30 | 30 |
| Heshvan | 29 | 30 |
| Chislev | 30 | 30 |
| Tebbeth | 29 | 30 |
| Shebat | 30 | 30 |
| Adar | 29 | 30 |
