Dan 8:13 (AKJV/PCE)
(8:13) ¶ Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain [saint] which spake, How long [shall be] the vision [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
IP the Fabulous ASSUMES (due to his pushing HIS "interp" upon the Bible) that this "transgression" refers to Israel rebelling against Rome. What a loon!
The following verse helps clarify what the Daniel really means and it does NOT match with IP's vain machinations.
Dan 8:14 (AKJV/PCE)
(8:14) And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
The sanctuary is the Temple and it will be cleansed and NOT destroyed.
The word used for CLEANSED is:
H6663 צָדַק tsadaq (tsaw-dak') v.
1. to be right (in a moral or forensic sense).
2. (causatively) to make right (in a moral or forensic sense).
[a primitive root]
KJV: cleanse, clear self, (be, do) just(-ice, -ify, -ify self), (be turn to) righteous(-ness).
It is quite clear that the "rebellion" is against GOD and not Rome.
Why does Rome care about the desecration of the Temple?
Jesus also clarified this quite nicely:
Matt 24:15 (AKJV/PCE)
(24:15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand
The abomination of desolation is STANDING in the holy place....
Too clear and simple for "real writer and grammar scholar" to understand.
