First, In Daniel 8:44, there seems to be a misunderstanding in the verse reference provided. does not exist in the Book of Daniel, I think you mean Dan 8:14 which prophesied, 'And he said to me, 'For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.' This verse is referring to the time of the end and the final vindication (Judgement Day at the end of time) and restoration of God's people. The cleansing of the sanctuary' symbolizes the purifying of the people of God and the ultimate victory of righteousness over evil.
When Jesus came the first time, predicted by Daniel in his prophecy found in Daniel 9:24-27, He also "cleansed the sanctuary"
In the prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27, it foretells the coming of the Messiah. Jesus, in his first coming, fulfilled this prophecy with his sacrificial death on the cross can be understood as a spiritual cleansing of the sanctuary. This act of atonement and redemption cleansed humanity of sin, reconciling us with God. the ultimate cleansing to be accomplished by Jesus Christ himself when He comes again, will be the purification and renewal of the whole of creation, the defeat of evil, and the establishment of the Kingdom of God in its fullness.
Allow me to break it down for you, in little pieces
Jesus’ First Coming,
Predicted by Old Testament prophecies, including Daniel’s.
Marked by His birth, ministry, death, and resurrection.
His death is the ultimate act that "cleanses the sanctuary," meaning it purifies the spiritual realm and provides atonement for sin.
His first coming inaugurated the Kingdom of God and opened the way for salvation.
Jesus’ Second Coming,
The second coming of Christ is a central in Christian teaching, predicted by Jesus Himself (e.g., Matthew 24, John 14:3). It will be:
It will be Visible and Glorious, Unlike His first appearance, which was humble, His second will be with power and glory, accompanied by angels, as described in Matthew 24:30-31.
With Judgment and Renewal, He will judge the living and the dead (Revelation 22:12-13).
Will be the Completion of God's Plan, The fullness of God's kingdom will be established, and the current heaven and earth will be renewed (2 Peter 3:10-13).
Just as Jesus' first coming involved a spiritual "cleansing," His second coming will bring a final and definitive cleansing, judging sin, removing evil, and restoring creation to its perfect state (Revelation 21:1-4). It will be the culmination of God's plan to "cleanse the sanctuary" in a cosmic sense purifying not only the spiritual realm but also the physical universe.
Are There Any Other Messiahs in Christian Teaching?
**NO** Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is the sole Messiah ----the anointed one prophesied in the Old Testament, fulfilled in Jesus.
False Messiahs Throughout history, there have been individuals claiming to be messianic figures, but Christian doctrine rejects these as false prophets or false messiahs (Matthew 24:23-27). The Bible warns believers to be discerning and to look for Christ’s return, not for other imposters figures.
In summary, sorry Kam, there is absolutely no room for your theology in the Christian faith, yet many have tried to merge Christ, Christianity with their own made-up version. Which will never work as they are opposite to Christ’s teaching.
All in All
Daniel’s prophecy points to Jesus as the Messiah who would come, die, and purify the sanctuary.
His first coming was the initial fulfillment—His death and resurrection.
His second coming will be His triumphant return, bringing final judgment and renewal.
Christianity affirms Jesus alone as the Messiah, and no other figures are recognized as true Messiahs before His return.
