THE DAILY IN FOCUS (RE-EXAMINED)

1. The Scriptures that speak about the “Daily” are the following. Daniel 8:11, 12, 13; Daniel 11:31;
Daniel 12:11.
2. The purpose of our study is to understand the following:
a. Exactly what is the Daily in Daniel?
b. What does the Bible present as the meaning of the Daily in Daniel?
c. How does interpretations of the Daily in a false way sustain various false prophetic
doctrines?
d. What is the true interpretation of the Daily, and how does it sustain SDA prophetic
teachings?

3. A proper translation of the major verses to be studied is.
“Yea he magnified himself even to the prince of the host and From him (Heb. Mimmennu) the
daily was taken away and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. And a host was given him
against the daily by reason of transgression and it cast down the truth to the ground and it
practiced and prospered. Then I heard one saint speaking and another saint said unto that
certain saint which spake, Until when shall be the vision concerning the daily and the
transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden underfoot.
And he said unto me, Until two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be
cleansed” Daniel 8:11-14.
4. The question is, what is the “Daily” in Daniel 8:11-13? There has been three major views in
Seventh day Adventism since 1844. They are:
a. The Daily is Paganism
b. The Daily is the Jewish sacrifices.
c. The Daily is the Continual Ministration of Christ in the Heavenly Sanctuary.
5. The problems with all three teachings and the controversies they have caused within Adventism
has been the following.
a. Which of the concept was true?
b. How the concepts affected and carried the interpretation of Daniel 8:11-14 in which they
were contextually placed.
c. The body of prophetic doctrines used to explain Daniel 8:11-14 that was associated with the
accepted concept of the Daily.
6. Two explanations must NEVER be used in describing two of the concepts of the Daily.
a. Never call the Paganism view of the Daily as the “old view” for this is misleading.
b. Never call the Continual Ministration view of the Daily as the “new view” for this is highly
misleading for various reasons.
7. Now we need to understand what Mrs. White said about the “Daily” in her writings.
a. This 1850 statement reveals Mrs. White making some observations about the supplied word
“sacrifice” in the text and cautioned about the daily being placed in a time setting after
1844. She said:
“Then I saw in relation to the “daily” (Dan 8:12) that the word “sacrifice” was supplied by
man’s wisdom, and does not belong to the text, and that the Lord gave the correct view of it
to those who gave the judgment hour cry. When union existed before 1844, nearly all were
united on the correct view of the “daily”; but in the confusion since 1844, other views have
been embraced, and darkness and confusion have followed. Time has not been a test since
1844, and it will never again be a test.” Ellen. G White, Early Writings, pp. 74-75
b. In the 1910 statements she first gave this admonition.

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we are

DID ELLEN G. WHITE EVER CALL THE S.D.A. CHURCH BABYLON IN ANY WAY? BY NYRON MEDINA

In the Bible is brought to view the following statement: “And after these things I  saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was  lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,  Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all  nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the  earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are  waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice  from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her  sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:1-4. Of this Scripture  we are told that it speaks about the Church, fallen because of sins. “In amazement  they [the people] hear the testimony that Babylon is the church,
