Is Daniel 7 a Parallel of Daniel 2? 1844 Under the Microscope, Part 2

In part two of 1844 Under the Microscope, Tom Stapleton considers the Seventh-day Adventist idea that Daniel 7 is the same vision as Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel 2.

The Daniel 2 statue laid out the successive world powers from the time of Babylon to the Second Coming. SDAs interpret Daniel 7 as doing the same thing. However, in this video, Tom will give you a different perspective to consider: that instead of Daniel 7 replicating the entire Daniel 2 statue, Daniel 7 is a microscope on the ten toes from Daniel 2.

Why is this important? To start with Daniel 2, thousands of years must be accounted for. This fact is pointed to by SDAs as proof that the 2300 evenings and mornings of Daniel 8:14 must in fact be 2300 years. They state specifically that "the prophecy itself demands the day-year principle" (quoted from 1844MadeSimple.com) that they use. (That will be an upcoming topic of its own, although Tom does touch on it in this teaching.) However, when it is rightly understood as applying only to the toes, no such "day-year principle" is needed, and it also clarifies some glaring errors with the current SDA teaching on the ten toes.

Join Tom as he gives what he believes is a better understanding of Daniel 7 in relation to Daniel 2.
