Daniel 12:12
Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
The 1335-day prophecy of Daniel 12:12 definitively points to the time of the great Advent movement in the mid-19th century, marking a specially blessed period of waiting and watching that followed the unsealing of Daniel's prophecies Daniel 12:12 BDOC 51.66 BDOC 62.18. Understanding this prophecy is crucial, as it provides specific mention and approval of the historical movement that arose in response to the prophetic light of Daniel BDOC 51.66.
Here is a detailed explanation of the 1335-day prophecy:
đź“… The Prophetic Principle
The 1335 days, like the other great chronological periods in Daniel and Revelation, operate under the established year-day principle, where one prophetic day represents one literal year Numbers 14:34 Ezekiel 4:6 PK 698.1 DA 233.1 STTHD 51.3 EVRR 324.15 EVRR 338.15. This rule is demonstrated by the fulfillment of the seventy weeks and the 1260-day periods in history DAR1909 222.2 STTHD 51.3 SITI 536.8 EVRR 394.18. Thus, the 1335 days symbolize 1,335 literal years HST 163.8 EVRR 324.15.
đź“Ť The Prophecy's Starting Point
The 1335 days Daniel 12:12 are introduced immediately after the 1290 days Daniel 12:11, confirming that both periods must share the same starting point ARSH 100.7 ARSH 12.15 ARSH 92.1. This commencement date is defined in Daniel 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" Daniel 12:11.
The "Daily": The "daily" refers not to a literal sacrifice, which is a supplied word in the text, but rather to the continual power or abomination of Paganism, which preceded the rise of the Papacy S23D 33.3 ARSH 12.15 BDOC 25.1 ARSH 100.2 BDOC 62.12.
The Taking Away: The prophecy specifies the time from when the daily (Paganism) was taken away to set up the abomination that makes desolate (the Papacy) ARSH 100.7 ARSH 12.15 ARSH 100.2.
The Historical Date: Historical facts confirm that Paganism was removed as the dominant religion of the Roman Empire in A.D. 508 ARSH 100.7 LJL 42.1 MWV2 113.2 ARSH 98.6 ARSH 100.2 EVRR 638.29. This date, A.D. 508, marks the beginning of both the 1290-day and 1335-day periods MWV2 113.2 EVRR 324.15 ARSH 98.6 ARSH 100.2.
🗓️ The Termination Date
Reckoning 1,335 years from the start date of A.D. 508 brings the period to its termination in A.D. 1843, or by other calculations, A.D. 1844 LJL 42.1 MWV2 113.2 ARSH 98.6 HST 92.20. This ending point coincides precisely with the termination of the 2300-day prophecy of Daniel 8:14 ARSH 100.7 LJL 42.1 EVRR 324.15 ARSH 2.9.
The period spanning 45 years—the difference between the 1290 years (ending in 1798 with the papacy losing its civil power) and the 1335 years (ending in 1843/1844)—was prophesied to be a time of special blessing MWV2 113.2.
🙏 The Promised Blessing
The verse pronounces a blessing: "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days" Daniel 12:12. This blessing was realized in the great Advent movement, which arose during the time of the end (starting in 1798) and culminated in the widespread expectation of Christ's return in the years leading up to 1844 BDOC 51.66 DAR1909 343.1 BDOC 62.18.
The period of waiting and watching, based on the understanding of Daniel's prophecies, was approved by God, serving as powerful evidence of the divine origin of the Advent movement BDOC 51.66 BDOC 62.18. This period witnessed the widespread proclamation that "The time is fulfilled" Mark 1:15 culminating in the judgment-hour message of Revelation 14:6-7 ARSH 36.22 CIHS 110.2.
⚖️ Standing in His Lot
The conclusion of Daniel's final instructions speaks of the prophet's own destiny: "But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days" Daniel 12:13.
The phrase "stand in thy lot" does not refer to a resurrection that occurs at the end of the 1335 days, but rather to Daniel's acquittal and position in the decisions of the judgment DAR1909 343.1 ARSH 100.2 ARSH 4.12 ARSH 2.9 ARSH 148.4. This judgment—the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary—commenced immediately in 1844, at the close of the 2300-day period EVRR 324.15 ARSH 2.9 CIHS 110.2. Daniel, resting in death, stands acquitted and honored as his prophetic book was unsealed and his messages were understood by the wise in the time of the end Daniel 12:4, 9, 10 BHB 127.7 ARSH 4.12.
Any theory suggesting that the 1290 and 1335 days are still future contradicts the foundational pillars of the Advent faith, implying that the book of Daniel remains sealed and that the historical movement of 1843/1844 was based on falsehood BDOC 51.66 BDOC 62.21. We rest assured in the certainty that these periods have been fulfilled, confirming the unfolding of God's plans in human history STTHD 51.3.
