whole day. ... We must therefore take the words as they are, i.e., understand them of 2300 whole days" (C.F. Keil, Biblical Commentary on the Book of Daniel, trans. M.G. Easton, in C.F. Keil and F. Delitzsch, Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament [Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans, 1959], vol. 25, pp. 303, 304). For additional arguments, see Hasel, "Sanctuary of Daniel 8," in Sanctuary and Atonement, p. 195; Hasel, "The "'Little Horn,' the Heavenly Sanctuary and the Time of the End," in Symposium on Daniel, pp. 430-433; Siegfried J. Schwantes, "Ereb Boqer of Daniel 8:14 Re- Examined," in Symposium on Daniel, pp. 462- 474); Maxwell, God Cares, vol. 1, p. 174. 38. Froom, Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, vol. 2, p. 985; vol. 3, pp. 252, 743; vol. 4, pp. 397, 404. For the principle that a prophetic day represents a literal year, see Shea, Selective Studies on Prophetic Interpretation, pp. 56-93. 39. See, e.g., Hasel, "Sanctuary in Daniel 8," in Sanctuary and Atonement, pp. 196, 197; Shea, "Unity of Daniel," in Symposium on Daniel, pp. 220-230. 906
40. Analysis of Hebrew writings such as the Mishnah reveals that although chathak can mean "determine," the more common meaning has "to do with the idea of cutting" (Shea, "The relationship Between the Prophecies of Daniel 8 and Daniel 9," in Sanctuary and Atonement, p. 242). 41. Gesenius, Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament Scripture, trans. Samuel P. Tregelles (Grand Rapids: W.B. Eerdmans, reprint ed., 1950), p. 314. 42. See Ferch, "Commencement Date for the Seventy Week Prophecy," in 70 Weeks, Leviticus, and the Nature of Prophecy, pp. 64- 74. 43. From Daniel 8 it is clear that the 2300 days have to cover a long span of years. The question is asked, "How long will the vision be?" (Dan. 8:13). The term "vision" is the same as used in verses 1, 2. So when the question "How long is the vision?" is raised by the heavenly angel, he is expecting an answer that covers the entire vision from the first animal symbol through the second animal symbol 907
