Shalom Lauren,
 

You may be on to something here with your drawing our attention to
Bush's repeated use of that key word 'vision'.

But please, let's re-read all of Daniel 8, (copy provided below), and
in context, "a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after
that which appeared unto me at the first."

Re. your quoted letter from President Bush to Prime Minister Sharon
using the key word 'vision' repeatedly (as per Daniel 8:13) ...

"I remain committed to MY JUNE 24, 2002 VISION of two states living
side by side in peace and security."
 

I double checked the days from JUNE 24, 2002 until the date you
suggested looking forward 2300 days, October 9, 2008, and confirmed
that it will be exactly 2300 inclusive days.

If this 2300 time frame applies here, then we are farther along than I
imagined, and much would seem to be needed to be squeezed into only
these next 15 months, if ...

"Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be
cleansed."
 

May God grant us repentance that does not need to be repented off.

Shalom shalom,

David

Daniel 8

1  In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared
unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the
first.
2  And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was
at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw
in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
3  Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood
before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were
high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4  I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so
that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that
could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and
became great.
5  And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on
the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat
had a notable horn between his eyes.
6  And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen
standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
7  And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler
against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was
no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the
ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver
the ram out of his hand.
8  Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the
great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the
four winds of heaven.
9  And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed
exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the
pleasant land.
10  And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down
some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon
them.
11  Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by
him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary
was cast down.
12  And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of
transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it
practised, and prospered.
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?
14  And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days;
then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

15  And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision,
and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the
appearance of a man.
16  And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called,
and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17  So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and
fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for
at the time of the end shall be the vision.
18  Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face
toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
19  And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the
last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall
be.
20  The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media
and Persia.
21  And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that
is between his eyes is the first king.
22  Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms
shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
23  And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors
are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding
dark sentences, shall stand up.
24  And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he
shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall
destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25  And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his
hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall
destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes;
but he shall be broken without hand.
26  And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is
true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many
days.
27  And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose
up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision,
but none understood it.
