DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

Chapter 9 – The Seventy Weeks

translated “most holy” are םי ָֽ שָׁד ָָֽק שֶׁד ֹ֥ק (kodesh

kodashim), the “holy of holies,” an expression

which, according to Gesenius, applies to the

most holy place in the sanctuary, and which in

no instance is applied to a person, unless this

passage be an exception.

The Advent Shield, No. 1, p. 75, says: “And the

last event of the seventy weeks, as

enumerated in verse 24, was the anointing of

the ‘most holy,’ or ‘the holy of holies,’ or the

‘sanctum sanctorum;’ not that which was on

earth, made with hands, but the true

tabernacle, into which Christ, our High Priest,

is for us entered. Christ was to do in the true

tabernacle in heaven what Moses and Aaron

did in its pattern. (See Hebrews, chapters 6, 7,

8, and 9; Exodus 30:22-30; Leviticus 8:10-

15.)”
