Re-examining 1844: A Better Understanding

By Tom and Judy Stapleton

A clear-eyed re-examination of the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation — and the timeline that led to October 22, 1844.

If the final prophecies leading to the Second Coming are still ahead of us, then we need to read Daniel and Revelation with fresh eyes — not as history already fulfilled, but as warnings still to come.

This book examines, point by point, the timeline that led to the date of October 22, 1844. It tests the day-year principle, the connection between Daniel 8 and Daniel 9, the meaning of the daily and the abomination of desolation, and the historical waypoints used to anchor the 2300-day prophecy. Where the evidence holds, we say so. Where it doesn’t, we show why — and offer a better understanding rooted in the words of Yeshua, the framework of the Biblical Feasts, and what Daniel actually said about the time of the end.

Re-Examining 1844 was written with Adventist readers in mind — but it speaks to anyone who wants to understand what Daniel and Revelation are really telling us about the days ahead.

What you’ll explore in this book

• What the “taking away of the daily” really refers to
• The historical waypoints behind 1844 — and what the evidence actually shows
