Alexander Invades Asia

🌐 What Year Is It?

Daniel 8:13-14   

Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot?

He said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

וָאֶשְׁמְעָה אֶחָד־קָדֹושׁ מְדַבֵּר וַיֹּאמֶר אֶחָד קָדֹושׁ לַפַּלְמֹונִי הַמְדַבֵּר עַד־מָתַי הֶחָזֹון הַתָּמִיד וְהַפֶּשַׁע שֹׁמֵם תֵּת וְקֹדֶשׁ וְצָבָא מִרְמָס׃

וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי עַד עֶרֶב בֹּקֶר אַלְפַּיִם וּשְׁלֹשׁ מֵאֹות וְנִצְדַּק קֹדֶשׁ׃

According to Alan Clark in 1825 Jerusalem would return to the Jewish people in 1966. His math is as follows:

334 + 1966 = 2300

📝 He was off by a year because apparently he didn't realize there is no year 0. It goes 1BC/BCE-1AD/CE. You must add 1 to make up the difference.

1966 + 1 = 1967

Prior to Alan Clark Bishop Newton made the same calculation accurately on 10/05/1754 in "Dissertation on the Prophecies" Like Alan Clark his calculations begin in 334BC/BCE when Alexander invaded Asia.

Newtons exact quote is:

I conceive they (the time periods) are to be computed from the vision of the he-goat, or Alexander’s invading Asia. Alexander invaded Asia in the year of the world 3670, and in the year before Christ 334. Two thousand three hundred years from that time will draw toward the conclusion of the sixth millennium of the world, and about that period, according to an old tradition, which was current before our Saviour’s time, and was probably foundered upon the prophecies, great changes and revolutions are expected… Rome is to be overthrown and Jews are to be restored.”*
