Dan 9:25 tells us that the 2300 day prophecy began at the going fourth of the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem. There were actually three commands to rebuild Jerusalem by King Artaxerxes, King Darius, and King Cyrus. But it was completed and issued by King Artaxerxes in the Autumn of 457 BC. It was then that Ezra finally began to rebuild Jerusalem.
The ancient calendar was started and ended in the spring. People didn’t realize that the command hadn’t gone into affect until the fall instead of the spring. …The decree of Artaxerxes for the restoration of Jerusalem, which formed the starting point for the period of the 2300 days, went into effect in the autumn of the year 457 B.C…. Reckoning from the autumn of 457, the 2300 years terminate in the autumn of 1844. {GC 398.4} If you add up from the year 475 + 2300 days that takes you to the year 1843. The reason that it’s so is because there is no year 0, which would then take you to the year 1844. It really just that simple, they skipped year 0 so if you add that on, then you get to the year 1844.
From the fall of 457 BC it would make sense that the date that it should land on would be 1844. If we use the Jewish OT cleansing of the sanctuary ceremony that fell on the tenth day of the seventh month and connect it to the common calendar that we use today, we see that the tenth day of the seventh month would have fallen on the year 1844, October 22.
Since October 22, 1844 we have been living in the judgment. Jesus has been cleansing the heavenly sanctuary and he is coming really soon. I can’t wait to see him and to go home soon.

Your post was really good, Becky. But you should include how you get to October 22. That will complete your post to make it a Rubrics 6.
Did I do it right on fixing the posts??
Well, you’re getting closer, but you need to take that next to the last paragraph and go at from the angle of the cleansing of the sanctuary in the OT service. Let me know.
Did do this post right daniel 9?
Here is your statement taken from the next to the last paragraph: “From the fall of 457 BC it would make sense that the date that it should land on would be 1844. We can get that from the Jewish calendar. The equivelent to that on a common calendar that we use would fall on the year 1844, October 22.”
In this section you are experiencing a leap of logic. Going from the fall of 457 is going to take you to the fall of 1844 taking into account the year 0. But it is not going to enable you to prove a particular day in the fall. To show a particular day, you are going to have to bring in the Jewish OT cleansing of the sanctuary ceremony that fell on the tenth day of the seventh month and connect it to the calendar that we use now and see what day the tenth day of the seventh month would have fallen on in the year 1844. Do you follow what I’m saying and does it make sense?
Yes I think I do understand but I didnt know it was like that before( it wasnt explained to me) so know that I know I will try to do it. Thanks for being so patient with me:)
