Where in the Bible do I find your “Investigative Judgment” that began in 1844?
Are you still a Jew?
Got to let you loose, Phil. I’ve had all the stupidity I can handle for one day.

Daniel 8: 14And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
SDA Bible Commentary below:
Sanctuary. Inasmuch as the 2300 years project us far into the Christian Era, the sanctuary cannot refer to the Temple at Jerusalem, which was destroyed in A.D. 70. The sanctuary of the new covenant is clearly
the sanctuary in heaven, “which the Lord pitched, and not man” (Heb. 8:2; GC 411–417). Of this sanctuary Christ is the high priest (Heb. 8:1). John foresaw a time when special attention would be directed toward “the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein” (Rev. 11:1). The symbols employed by the revelator are strikingly similar to those employed in Dan. 8:11–13.
Be cleansed. From the Heb. ṣadaq, “to be just,” “to be righteous.” The verb occurs in the form here
found (niphal) only this once in the OT, which may suggest that a specialized meaning of the term is
indicated. Lexicographers and translators suggest various meanings, such as “be put right,” or “be put in a rightful condition,” “be righted,” “be declared right,” “be justified,” “be vindicated.” The translation “shall be cleansed” is the reading of the LXX, which here has the verb form katharisthēsetai. It is not known whether the translators of the LXX gave an adapted meaning to the Heb. ṣadaq or translated from manuscripts employing a different Hebrew word, perhaps ṭahar, the common Hebrew word for “to be clean,” “to cleanse.” The Vulgate has the form mundabitur, which also means “cleansed.” See on ch. 9:24.
As an aid to determining what event in connection with the heavenly sanctuary is here referred to, it is helpful to examine the services of the earthly sanctuary, for the priests in the earthly sanctuary served “unto the example and shadow of heavenly things” (Heb. 8:5). The services in the wilderness tabernacle and in the Temple consisted of two main divisions, the daily and the yearly. Christ’s daily ministration as our high priest was typified in the daily services. The annual Day of Atonement typified a work that Christ would undertake at the close of the age. For a detailed discussion of these two phases of service see on Lev. 1:16; see also GC 418–432. The prophecy of Dan. 8:14 announces the time for the beginning of this special work. The cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary comprehends the entire work of final judgment, beginning with the investigative phase and ending with the executive phase, which results in the permanent eradication of sin from the universe.
A significant feature of the final judgment is the vindication of God’s character before all the intelligences of the universe. The false charges that Satan has lodged against the government of God must be demonstrated as utterly groundless. God must be shown to have been entirely fair in the selection of certain individuals to make up His future kingdom, and in the barring of others from entrance there. The final acts of God will evoke from men the confessions, “Just and true are thy ways” (Rev. 15:3), “Thou art righteous, O Lord” (Rev. 16:5), and, “True and righteous are thy judgments” (Rev.
16:7). Satan himself will be led to acknowledge God’s justice (see GC 670, 671). The word translated
“just” and “righteous” is dikaios, equivalent to the Heb. ṣaddiq, derived from ṣadaq, a form of which is
translated “shall be cleansed” in Dan. 8:14. Thus the Heb. ṣadaq may convey the additional thought that God’s character will be fully vindicated as the climax to “the hour of his judgment” (Rev. 14:7), which began in 1844. See Problems in Bible Translation, pp. 174–177.
