DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith
~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~
Chapter 9 – The Seventy Weeks
sanctuary and all the holy vessels were to be
anointed. Exodus 40:9, 10. The last event,
therefore, of the seventy weeks, here brought
to view, is the anointing of the heavenly
tabernacle, or the opening of the ministration
there. Thus this first division of the 2300 days
brings us to the commencement of the service
in the first apartment of the heavenly
sanctuary, as the whole period brings us to the
commencement of the service in the second
apartment, or most holy place, of that
sanctuary.
The argument must now be considered
conclusive that the ninth chapter of Daniel
explains the eighth, and that the seventy
weeks are a part of the 2300 days; and with a
few extracts from the writings of others we
will leave this point.
