A Specific, Fulfilled Prophecy
Commentators overwhelmingly agree that the "2,300 evenings and mornings" refer to literal days, totaling just over six years. This prophecy was precisely fulfilled during the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes, from his initial desecration of the temple (c. 171 B.C.) to its cleansing and rededication by Judas Maccabeus (c. 165 B.C.), demonstrating the reliability of God's Word.
