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.
