The Story …
John 2:13-17
“Take these things
hence; make not my
Father’s house an house
of merchandise.”
John 2:16
1. Daniel had an amazing vision
in which he saw a ram with
two horns. Whom does
this ram represent?
“The ram which thou
sawest having two
horns are the kings of
MEDIA and PERSIA.”
Daniel 8:20
2. Next Daniel saw a goat with a
great horn between his eyes.
What does this mean?
“The rough goat is the
king of GRECIA: and the
great horn that is
between his eyes is the
FIRST king.”
Daniel 8:21, 22
The first horn
is Alexander
the Great.
“Now that being broken, whereas four
stood up for it, FOUR kingdoms shall
stand up out of the nation.”
Daniel 8:22
3. Then a little horn sprouts
up from out of one of the
four. What power did this
little horn represent?
“Claudius (Caesar)
had commanded
all Jews to depart
from ROME.”
Acts 18:2
“In this horn were eyes
like the eyes of man,
and a mouth speaking
great things.”
Daniel 7:8
“And he shall be diverse
from the first.”
Daniel 7:24
4. Daniel was told that this little
horn would defile the
sanctuary. How long till it
would be cleansed?
“Unto TWO THOUSAND
and THREE HUNDRED
days; then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed.”
Daniel 8:14
5. How did Daniel respond
when he saw the little-horn
power persecute God’s people
and obscure the truth?
“And I Daniel fainted, and
was SICK certain days; …
and I was astonished at the
vision, but none
UNDERSTOOD it.”
Daniel 8:27
“At the beginning of
your supplications
the command went
out, and I have come
to tell you.”
Daniel 9:23
6. In the next chapter, the angel
explains the prophecy in
greater detail. How long was
the time period not previously
described in the vision?
“SEVENTY WEEKS are
determined upon thy
people and upon thy holy
city, … to seal up the
vision and prophecy.”
Daniel 9:24
7. What was the starting point
for the 2,300-day and 70-week
time prophecies?
“Know therefore and
understand, that from the
going forth of the
commandment to
RESTORE and to build
JERUSALEM.”
Daniel 9:25
“unto the Messiah the
Prince shall be seven
weeks, and threescore
and two weeks.”
Daniel 9:25
The decree of King
Artaxerxes was given in
457 B.C. (Ezra 7:7)
A Prophetic Key – In Bible prophecy
one prophetic day = one literal year.
“I have appointed thee each day for a year.”
Ezekiel 4:6
“… each day for a year …”
Numbers 14:34
8. The angel said that if you
were to count 69 weeks from
457 B.C., you would come
to Messiah the Prince.
Did this happen?
“That word you know …
after the baptism which
John preached: how God
ANOINTED Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy
Spirit and with power.”
Acts 10:37-38
“Now all this was done,
that it might be
FULFILLED which was
spoken of the Lord by
the prophet, saying,”
Matthew 1:22
“Behold, a virgin shall be with
child, and shall bring forth a
son, and they shall call his
name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is, God with us.”
Matthew 1:23
“… and to anoint
the most Holy.”

two weeks shall
Messiah be CUT OFF,

covenant with many for
one week: and in the
MIDST of the week He shall
cause the sacrifice and the

in Christ.”

which would become His
chosen people?

CHRIST’S, then are
ye Abraham’s seed,
and HEIRS according
to the promise.”

which is one

and by what standard will all
be judged?

which were WRITTEN
in the BOOKS.”
Revelation 20:12
“For God shall bring
every WORK into
judgment, with every
SECRET THING.”
Ecclesiastes 12:14
“They shall be
judged by the
LAW of liberty.”
James 2:12
15. Is God my accuser in
the judgment?
“That old serpent,
called the DEVIL,
… was cast out
into the earth.”
Revelation 12:9
“The accuser of our
brethren is cast down,
which ACCUSED them
before our God day
and night.”
Revelation 12:10
16. Will I have to face the
pre-advent judgment alone?
“And if any man sin,
we have an ADVOCATE
with the Father, JESUS
Christ the righteous.”
John 2:1
“My little children, these
things I write to you, so that
you may not sin. And if
anyone sins, we have an
Advocate with the Father,
JESUS Christ the righteous.”
1 John 2:1
A. Jesus is our advocate
(1 John 2:1).
B. Jesus is our judge
(John 5:22).
C. Jesus is our faithful
and true witness
(Revelation 3:14).
If Jesus is your attorney
in the judgment, He
promises to win your
case. Will you turn your
life over to Him today?

Editor's Notes

  1. Moses received Not only the ten Commandments, but plans for a sanctuary—a special building that would serve as a dwelling place for the God of heaven.
  2. The Bible says: “Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8).
  3. God’s way, the plan of salvation, is revealed in the earthly sanctuary. The Bible teaches that everything in the sanctuary—the dwelling, furniture, and services—are symbols of something Jesus did in saving us. This means we can fully comprehend the plan of salvation as we fully understand the symbolism connected with the sanctuary.
  4. The original sanctuary was an elegant, tent-type structure (15 feet by 45 feet—based on an 18-inch cubit) in which the presence of God dwelt and special services were conducted. The walls were made of upright wooden boards set in silver sockets and overlaid with gold (Exodus 26:15–19, 29). The roof was made of four coverings: linen, goat hair, ram skin, and badger skin (Exodus 26:1, 7–14). It had two rooms: the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. A thick, heavy veil (curtain) separated the rooms. The courtyard—the area around the sanctuary—was 75 feet by 150 feet (Exodus 27:18). It was fenced with fine linen cloth supported by 60 pillars of brass (Exodus 27:9–16).
  5. The altar of burnt offerings where animals were sacrificed, was located just inside its entrance (Exodus 27:1–8). This altar represents the cross of Christ. The animal represents Jesus, the ultimate sacrifice (John 1:29).
  6. The laver, located between the altar and the entrance to the sanctuary, was a large washbasin made of brass. Here priests washed their hands and feet before offering a sacrifice or entering the sanctuary (Exodus 30:17–21; 38:8). The water represents cleansing from sin and the new birth (Titus 3:5).
  7. The table of shewbread (Exodus 25:23–30) represents Jesus, the living bread (John 6:51).
  8. The seven-branch candlestick (Exodus 25:31–40) also represents Jesus, the light of the world (John 9:5; 1:9). The oil represents the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:1–6; Revelation 4:5).
  9. The altar of incense (Exodus 30:7, 8) represents the prayers of God’s people (Revelation 5:8).
  10. The Ark of the Covenant, the only piece of furniture in the Most Holy Place (Exodus 25:10–22), was a chest of acacia wood overlaid with gold. Placed on top the chest were two angels made of solid gold. Between these two angels was the mercy seat (Exodus 25:17–22), where the presence of God dwelt. This symbolized God’s throne in heaven, which is likewise located between two angels (Psalm 80:1).
  11. Now after that overview, let’s fast forward to the time of Christ. Jesus was visibly grieved as He entered the temple courtyard and surveyed the turmoil. On every hand He saw pens filled with sacrifice animals and heard salesman shouting and bargaining with visiting pilgrims for the highest price. The cooing of doves, bleating of sheep, and lowing of oxen mingled together with the odors of a barnyard to form a concert of chaos.
  12. This bedlam was never God's plan. When Solomon built the first temple in Jerusalem, there was such respect for God's house that not even the sound of a hammer could be heard during its construction. All the stones and boards were pre-cut elsewhere, then brought to the temple site and quietly assembled (1 Kings 6:7). Jesus found a handful of cords used for restraining the sheep and tied them into a small whip. Then the Son of God called out in trumpet-like tones: "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer but ye have made it a den of thieves." Matthew 21:13. Moving from one booth to another, He then released the animals and overturned the moneychangers' tables. Sensing they were in the presence of Omnipotence, the terrified merchants fled from the temple courtyard without looking back. Jesus wanted more than anything for people to have a clear concept of His heavenly Father's love and purity. This is why it broke His heart to see the holy temple turned into a flea market.
  13. Many years earlier, the prophet Daniel had foretold of another time when the temple would be defiled, God's truth would be distorted, and His people oppressed. And once again, the Lord would come to cleanse His sanctuary.
  14. NOTE: The male goat represents Greece and the big horn is a symbol of its first ruler, Alexander the Great. The four horns represent the four generals who took over parts of the empire when Alexander died.
  15. NOTE: The four horns represent the four generals who took over parts of the empire when Alexander died.
  16. NOTE: The "little horn" that persecuted God's people, trampled holy things, and stood up against Jesus represented Rome--both pagan and papal. Rome is the only power that followed Grecia and became exceedingly great.
  17. NOTE: This 2,300-day period is the longest time prophecy in the Bible, but the starting point is not given until the next chapter--in Daniel 9:25.
  18. NOTE: Daniel was so deeply grieved by what was to come upon God's people that he fainted and was sick for some time. But initially neither Daniel nor his friends understood the 2,300-day section of the vision.
  19. NOTE: Several years after Daniel's vision about the 2,300 days, an angel of heaven flew quickly to his side to help him understand it. The angel also expanded the vision to include 70 prophetic weeks that were "determined upon," or allotted to, the Jews and the city of Jerusalem. God was giving His chosen nation another chance--a 490-year opportunity to accomplish its purpose of presenting the Messiah to the world (Daniel 9:23, 24).
  20. NOTE: The angel told Daniel to begin counting the 2,300-day and 70-week prophecies from the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. God's people were in captivity in the Persian empire at this time. The decree was made in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes, who began to reign in 464 B.C. (Ezra 7:7). Artaxerxes' decree in 457 B.C. was the only one that specified restoring and rebuilding Jerusalem.
  21. NOTE: Here is a fantastic miracle. Hundreds of years before Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost, the event was foretold in prophecy! "Messiah" is the Hebrew word for "anointed," and the word "Christ" is the Greek equivalent. Luke 3:21, 22 says this special anointing by the Holy Ghost took place at His baptism. Now here's the key. In Bible prophecy, one prophetic day equals one literal year (Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6; Luke 13:32). Adding 69 weeks, or 483 prophetic days (69 x 7 = 483), to 457 B.C. brings us to the year A.D. 27.
  22. Notice the details in this chart.
  23. Jesus began His ministry as the Messiah after His baptism in A.D. 27, exactly 483 years after the decree given in 457 BC. This is why Jesus began preaching, after His baptism, that "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand." Mark 1:15. He was speaking of the time prophecy in Daniel 9:25.
  24. NOTE: The prophecy next predicted that Jesus would be "cut off," or crucified, in the middle of the last week of the 70-week prophecy. Counting three and one-half years from His anointing in the fall of A.D. 27 would take us to the spring of A.D. 31, which is precisely when Jesus was crucified. At the time He died, the temple veil was torn into two sections from top to bottom (Matthew 27:50, 51), indicating that Jesus had caused the sacrificial system to cease by His death as the Lamb of God. Please review the time line above.
  25. NOTE: Jesus insisted that His disciples preach first to the Jews, because they still had three and a half years remaining of their 490-year opportunity to accept and proclaim the Messiah. The prophecy in Daniel 9:27 said that Jesus would confirm the covenant, or the great plan of salvation, with many for one prophetic week (seven literal years). But Jesus was crucified in the midst of that final week allotted to His chosen nation, so how could He confirm the covenant with them after His death? The answer is found in Hebrews 2:3: "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him." Jesus' disciples preached to the Jews for that final three and a half years, until the nation officially rejected the gospel message in A.D. 34 when Stephen, a righteous deacon, was publicly stoned. 
  26. NOTE: Jesus had made it very clear that the special status of the Jewish nation would be taken away if the people persisted in rejecting the Messiah.
  27. .
  28. NOTE: As of A.D. 34 with the stoning of Stephen (Acts 7:58, 59), the literal Jewish nation was no longer God's only chosen nation. Because they consistently resisted God's plan for them, the nation of Israel is no longer the central focus of end-time prophecy. Now all who accept Jesus are His chosen people, and the promises God made to literal Israel now also apply to spiritual Israel (Romans 9:6-8).
  29. NOTE: In A.D. 34, there remained 1,810 years of the 2,300-day prophecy. (Note dates in diagram above.) Adding 1,810 years to A.D. 34 brings us to the autumn of 1844. The angel said that at that time, the heavenly sanctuary would be cleansed. (The earthly sanctuary was destroyed in A.D. 70.) Jesus, our high priest in heaven (Hebrews 4:14-16; 8:1-5), began removing the records of sin from the heavenly sanctuary (Revelation 20:12; Acts 3:19-21) in 1844. This first phase of the judgment is called the pre-advent judgment because it takes place before Jesus' second coming.
  30. NOTE: The evidence in the judgment comes from books kept in heaven, which contain all the details of a person's life. (See also Psalms 56:8.) The Ten Commandments, God's law, is His standard in the judgment (Revelation 22:14).
  31. NOTE: No! Satan is your only accuser. Unfortunately, some Christians think Jesus is trying to convince the Father to spare us during the judgment, but Jesus said, "The Father himself loveth you." John 16:27.
  32. NOTE: Thankfully, no. In the judgment, Jesus is the Christian's attorney, judge, and witness. If you live for Jesus, you can't lose (Romans 8:1; Colossians 1:12-14)!
