So the little horn is still trampling the temple in heaven even after the end of your 2300 years and interestingly enough was also trampling the temple by saying that man had to confess to a man not through Christ from the beginning of your 2300 years which is 400 years before Christ's incarnation.
No that is not my contention. In the beginning of this time period the trampling of the temple was going on thru the paganistic forces of Babylon. I think the little horn and satan are synomymous in action as one gives the other power according to Revelations. So the work of defiling the temple was going on before the little hor actually existed. The trampling didn't start in 457 and it didn't have to end in 1844. Just like sinning didn't stop after the earthly DOA was done , so it is with the heavenly one. If the IJ is an investigation of some kind and that investigation is cleansing the heavenly sanctuary then it makes sense. The time element, I think, was given for us to have a reference to go by to know when the time of the end was here prophetically.
Some think the IJ started then, some think otherwise. I'm not sure , but I am convinced the 2300 days ends in 1844.
So ultimately nothing in your view works with history or reality. The 2300 years does not end anything (as you say the trampling continues), the beginning is a trampling of something that know one had any knowledge of for over 400 years and it is attributed to a Papal organization about 600 years before that organization began.
Yet you don't think AE works well enough. Interesting indeed.
Nothing historically works with 2300 literal days from 457 B.C. . Nothing works with 2300 literal days from Daniel's time. It doesn't even work from the time the temple was restored in a literal sense. The day for a year principle is solid and thousands of Bible scholars came to the 1843/44 time period for this back then that were totally unrelated studies determined separately and individually.
We as a church need to research this more and we need to lay all of our cards on the table for all to see no matter what the results are. If our case for the IJ is weak Biblically we need to be forth coming and admit it as a church. Official silence on this account leads to dissention.
God Bless
