So if we go back to this question, ‘how long shall be the complete vision concerning –either Christ’s sanctuary ministry or Paganism and the Papacy, and then it tells us what the Daily and the transgression of desolation are going to do -- to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? So, if we believe that the ‘Daily’ is Christ’s high priestly ministry –when did Christ begin that ministry? When did Christ ascend to heaven? 31 AD. So if we take that approach, the question is ‘how long is the total vision about the Papacy removing the understanding of Christ’s sanctuary ministry and the Papacy to give both the heavenly sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?’ Now, when did the Papacy come into history? The ‘Mystery of iniquity’ is mentioned by Paul as already at work, so they were already at work but not on the throne of the earth until 538. But let’s give the benefit of the doubt here and say that the moment Christ ascended into the heavenly Sanctuary; the Papacy began to remove the understanding of His work in the heavenly sanctuary from the minds of men. So, that took place in 31 AD and the question is ‘how long shall be the complete vision concerning the Papacy and Christ’s sanctuary ministry to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And we know what the answer is in Daniel 8: verse 14: And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. The earliest point in history that you can argue that the Papacy was blocking the understanding of Christ’s heavenly ministry would be 31 AD, if you are going to give them the benefit of the doubt, which is the earliest you can possibly say this because He was not doing His high priestly ministry before 31 AD. So the earliest you can start this vision, the question is ‘how long’, is 31 AD. And then it tells us we need to understand that this vision is 2300 years long. So if you add 2300 years to 31 AD., when did Christ begin the investigative judgment? 2331 AD-- He hasn’t done it yet! That is simple math and this is why we are suggesting that the ‘Daily’ is the subject that brings strong delusion on Seventh-day Adventists, let’s be realistic—this false view is what we are teaching today, and whether we admit it or not, by teaching this we are destroying the very foundation of Adventism!
