Anoint the most Holy being fulfilled after 70 Weeks

Seventy weeks are determined

For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,
To make an end of sins,
To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the Most Holy.
 

Daniel 9:24

It could be that the 2300 days of Daniel 8 are a time reference for when the Millennial temple is built, but I am back and forth over what applies to Antiochus IV in the past and what applies to the Antichrist in yet future.  

Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, "How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?"

And he said to me, "For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed." 

Daniel 8:13-14

"Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end."

...And he said, "Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation; for at the appointed time the end shall be. 

Daniel 8:17-19

23 "And in the latter time of their kingdom,
When the transgressors have reached their fullness,
A king shall arise,
Having fierce features,
Who understands sinister schemes.
24 His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power;
He shall destroy fearfully,
And shall prosper and thrive;
He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.
25 "Through his cunning
He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule;
And he shall exalt himself in his heart.
He shall destroy many in their prosperity.
He shall even rise against the Prince of princes;
But he shall be broken without human means.
26 "And the vision of the evenings and mornings
Which was told is true;
Therefore seal up the vision,
For it refers to many days in the future." 

Daniel 8:23-26

For the longest time, I believed most of Daniel 8 was fulfilled in the past (though Antichrist seems in view in 8.23-25). 

Not too long ago, I concluded it could be all in the future, but recently listening to Joel Richardson and Chris White on Daniel 8, I found myself going back to my old view, that most is fulfilled in the past.   

I could see the 2300 days being the time reference from the abomination of desolation in the Tribulation Temple to the time of the Millennial Temple being built.

I was also thinking, possibly, just as the temple Antiochus desecrated was eventually cleansed, that the tribulation temple would be cleansed first after the end of the 70th Week and used until the Millennial temple is constructed.  

The Antiochus view of the 2300 days is that it is both evening and morning added together, and that would be 1150 days from his desecration of the temple until it was cleansed.  The antichrist view is that it is 2300 days after the abomination until it is cleansed, which is another 1140 days after the 1260 day Great Tribulation.  Why that many days to cleanse the temple?  That would probably work better with the time to build the millennial temple.  I think it is thought that the millennial temple will stand in another spot than where the temple mount is in old Jerusalem.
