Many have been taught that the 2300 evenings and mornings of Daniel 8 begin at the start of the 70 weeks of Daniel 9. Let’s explore that idea. This is chapter 5 from our book Re-Examining 1844: A Better Understanding
When interpreting the end-time timelines from Daniel chapters 7, 8, and 10-12, and repeated in Revelation, historicists (those who believe these prophetic events have happened in the past, as in the days of Alexander the Great) use a “day-year principle”. This is the idea that when interpreting time periods in symbolic prophecies, every day equals one year of literal time. But is it valid? If you have been taught that these prophecies all happened in the past, you are missing the greatest warning Our Father intended us to have for the events soon happening.
