2300 Days, Daniel 8:14 Revisited

1 year ago

A well-known historical application of the 2300 "evenings and mornings" of Daniel 8:14 has been interpreted as days, and then extrapolated to mean years: 2300 years spanning from 457 BC to 1844 AD. Along this timeline, they add interpretations for other points along the timeline, including 538 AD and 1798 AD.

Tom Stapleton gives a number of examples by comparing Scripture with this interpretation, to show that it simply does not work. Rather than holding on to an early effort to understanding the then-sealed prophecies of Daniel, Bible students who cling to the 1844 idea need to "prophesy again" (Revelation 10:11) so they do not miss out on the actual fulfillment of Daniel's end-time prophetic timelines, which are yet in the future.

See also our article which shows a number of reasons why starting Daniel 8:14 based on Daniel 9 is not correct. https://www.endtimesprophecy.com/research/does-daniel-9-reveal-the-start-date-of-daniel-814/
