2300 Days

Is it possible that the 2300 days found in Da 8:14 could be a reference to the great tribulation? Let's examine.

TRODDEN UNDER FOOT: TRIBULATION?

Da 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days (3x430=1290).

DAYS ARE SHORTENED: JUDGMENT ON THE WICKED AND 2300 HISTORICAL DAYS?

2300 DAYS – CHART

SUMMARY CONCLUSION:

The number 23 appears to relate to judgment: both historically as it ties into the timeline as well as God’s spiritual judgment on the wicked. 2300 days (evening and morning) seem to point to the DAY of the Lord(23 year tribulation shortened to 2300 days).
