1335 and 1290 Days Point to 1844

"AND from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up [“to set up the abomination,” margin], there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 

Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. 

But go thou thy way till the end be: 

---for thou shalt rest, 

---and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.” 

Dan. 12: 11-13. 

In the above language there is presented to us a reckoning of time from one event to another. 

The first event is called the “taking away of the daily, sacrifice;” the last is “the end of the days.” 

This end of the days (prophetic days) must be the end of the twenty three hundred days, for that period comes down the farthest of any of the periods mentioned to Daniel—reaching to Oct. 22, 1844. 

So when we came to that point of time, it could be said truthfully,

“the end of the days.” 

It was then that we came to the antitype of the cleansing of the sanctuary in the Jewish service, when the lot was cast upon the two goats. Lev. 16: 8-10. So here it is said Daniel would stand in his lot—be in the real investigative judgment of the Lord’s people. 

The word Gohrahl—lot, which the Hebrew lexicon says occurs seventy-six times in the Old Testament, is the same word in Dan. 12: 13 as in Lev. 16: 8, 9, 10. 

This is additional proof that “the end of the days” here mentioned is the end of the two thousand and three hundred days when the sanctuary was to be cleansed. 

Now as we see what event marks the close of the time reckoning of Daniel, chapter twelve, it is proper to inquire, 

Q: What event marked the beginning of the reckoning? 

A: It seems from the language used that it is a definite date from which time could be reckoned, for it says, “From the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away,” showing clearly that it is some event that is so definite that one can reckon time from it. Thus we are brought directly to the question, 

Q: What is meant by the term “daily sacrifice”? and what is meant by the “taking a way” of the daily sacrifice ?

Paganism was the religion of the Roman empire, established by law of the empire. The papacy could not get that power while it was held by paganism. In 508 the pagan religion was abolished as the religion of the empire. Now he that had hindered was “taken out of the way,” and “that wicked “—the papacy—could be “set up.”

508—Taking away of the daily sacrifice. Dan. 12:11,12. 

Again: 538—The Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths by this time were plucked up: this is the prophetic period, for the rise of the little horn. See Daniel 7:8. Three horns plucked up, and the little horn rises, which is the commencement of the papal power. 

The commencement of the time, times, and a half, or 1260 years, terminating in 1798. 

The 1290 years (Dan. 12:11), commencing 508, at the taking away of the dally sacrifice, terminate 1798, from which period 45 years

completes the 1335 years, when Daniel is to stand in his lot, at the end of the days. 

The 1335 from the taking away of the daily (508) and the 45 from the close of 1290 terminate together 1843.

Bear in mind that the 1843 occurring frequently on the chart was 1843 Jewish reckoning, which they supposed would be April of 1844 of our reckoning of time. especially the 2300 days; terminated Oct 22, 1844, which was the tenth day of the seventh Jewish month of that year, instead of April, the close of the Jewish 1843.

Again: let us remember that this departure from the faith—this “mystery of iniquity”—was already working in the days of Paul, and that its development was by a gradual process, while the taking away of the “daily” introduced in the prophecy is at a definite “time,” and is a definite act, from which date the 1290 and 1335 years, etc., can be reckoned."
