hi John and doves,

i had looked before at 688 plus 1335 years comes to 2023, but digging some more, and a search for 687 dome rock shows that some researchers place the start of the building at 687 so add 1335 years to 2022.

daniel 12.
if you look at the interlinear and the strongs words for alternate meanings it could say

blessed are they that LONG for the end of the 1335 days

days could be years.

also, the word could mean 1290 days since the ending of sacrifices in the past.
before daniel wrote.

eg this verse uses the same word

Leviticus 4:31
NAS: as the fat was removed from the sacrifice

688
687

so if the 1290 years were before 688 pr 697 that takes us back to

603 bc
602bc

so could this be the date that sacrifices stopped?

conquest of Jerusalem by Babylon's Nebuchadnezzar around 600 B.C." 3) the exile of Jews to Babylon and the destruction of Solomon's temple in 587 B.C.

list of kings and dates
Hezekiah to 698bc
Manaseeh to 642bc
Josiah to 609bc
Jehoiakim to 598bc

2 chron 29
Hezekiah cleanses the temple
Hezekiah restores temple worship

... blood on the altar to make atonement for all israel
... house of the Lord with symbols, harps and lyres

2 chr 34
Josiah...
He did what was right..
began to seek the God of his father David
.. found the book of the law..
33.28 shall not see.  Tge disaster 
...house of the Lord

2 chr 35
Josiah
Put the holy ark in the house . Solomon
Altar... kept the passover
Jeremiah uttered a lament... josiah

Jehoiakim
2 chr 36
Jehoiakim ..did..evil
Nebuchadnezzar ..carried vessels of the house of the Lord to babylon

so the 602 bc is a possible date for the end of sacrifice

so maybe... blessed are those that long for the end of the 1335 years that likely is between 2022 and 2024
