| | Therefore, some within Premillennialism Futurism (Christian eschatology) affirm that the 2300 days of Daniel 8:14 have not yet occurred and refer to the future sacerdotal rites of a yet future [[Third Temple]] to be built during Daniel's Prophecy of Seventy Weeks - which also is yet future. The "reign of the Beast" (See: [[Abomination of Desolation]]) commences at the mid-point of Daniel's Prophecy of Seventy Weeks and thus ensues in "days" (as in the "evening and morning" (Daniel 8:14)) the 1290 days of "desolations" or "abominations" (Daniel 12:12). These "desolations" or "the host to be trampled underfoot" (Daniel 8:13) must be calculated by adding the days of the "daily sacrifices" in a restored Third Temple, yet future, to the "days of desolation" or 1010 (days of sacrifice) + 1290 (days of desolations) = 2300 days: "'How long will the vision be, concerning the '''daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation''', the '''giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot'''?' and he said to me, 'For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.'" These eschatologists conclude that the Prophecy of Seventy Weeks is directed to Jews in a regathered Israel in the "latter days" ("Seventy weeks are determined for '''your people''' and for '''your holy city'''" - Daniel 9:24). | | Therefore, some within Premillennialism Futurism (Christian eschatology) affirm that the 2300 days of Daniel 8:14 have not yet occurred and refer to the future sacerdotal rites of a yet future [[Third Temple]] to be built during Daniel's Prophecy of Seventy Weeks - which also is yet future.

| − | Donald Barnhouse, [[Hal Lindsey]], John Walvoord and many other premillenarian futurists affirm that the prophecies of the Antichrist and the [[Abomination of Desolation]] are futuristic, based upon the many citations found within Daniel 7-12; likewise, these prophecies were not fulfilled by the destruction of the [[Second Temple]] in 70 AD, which is the claim of [[Preterism]]. Premillennialism-style futurists like Arthur Pink in his classic work "The Antichrist" attribute vast portions within the Old and New Testament to this future figure and see the 1260 days of the first part of the Prophecy of Seventy Weeks as literal days.

| | It is within the context of a future Prophecy of Seventy Weeks that the final week is separated out from the original 69 weeks (just as the first and second comings of Christ have a "gap" - even so, the final week is separated from the original 69 weeks; hence, the "gap"). The final week is broken up into two parts (the initial 1260 days of the prevailing testimony of the [[Two Witnesses]] until the "middle of the week" being the [[Abomination of Desolation]] and the final 1260 days (or 42 months; time, times and half a time; 3.5 days (Rev. 11:9, 11) of the "reign of the Beast" being the latter half of the week, with 30 days until the 1290th day (Daniel 12:11) being the period known as the "Wrath of the Lamb" or "Wrath of God." It is this Beast - now inhabited by Satan as the second "son of perdition" who shall desecrate the [[Third Temple]] and begin his beastly reign for 1,290 days (Daniel 12:11). But, as Antichrist, prior to his reign as the Beast, he will "make a covenant with the many (i.e., Israel’s majority) for one week, but in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering" (Daniel 9:27). The final 45 days beyond the 30 days (comprising a total of 75 days beyond the final week of Daniel's Prophecy of Seventy Weeks commences with the Second Coming of Christ and the unveiling of Messiah to Israel prior to the literal Millennium or 1,000-year rule and reign of Messiah - this is the time of "Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty five days" (Daniel 12:13). The 2300 days is part and parcel of these aforementioned time frames - totally integrated into Daniel's Seventieth Week, extending from the commencement of the renewed and rededicated [[Third Temple]] and its sacerdotal rites to 30 days past the close of the Seventieth Week itself. | | It is within the context of a future Prophecy of Seventy Weeks that the final week is separated out from the original 69 weeks (just as the first and second comings of Christ have a "gap" - even so, the final week is separated from the original 69 weeks; hence, the "gap").
