CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The prophecy of the “2,300 evenings and mornings” of Daniel 8:14, in con- nection with the prophecy of the “70 weeks” of Daniel 9:24-27, had an important role in the Adventist Movement of the 1840´s, and in the rise of the Seventh-day Adventist Church after October 22/23, 1844. They form the “base, foundation, central pillar, platform, watchword” of the distinctive SDA belief about the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary, which was the “key” which unlocked the mystery of the disappointment, confirming the principles of interpretation in the study of the prophecies. (See The Great Controversy, pages 410-411; 345, 351, 401, 409, 411, 424, 457; 423, 652; 405-406). The importance of the prophecies of Daniel is made clear in the prophetic sermon of Christ in Matthew 24:15, and in the identification of the high points of the seventieth week in Acts 10:34-48. This doctrine in its entirety, or in some of its aspects, has from its beginning until the present time suffered attacks by theologians and members of other de- nominations, as well as by some theologians and members of our own faith. Unfortunately, internal problems have weakened the defense. I hope the leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church understand these problems and realize that it is of the utmost importance to correct the errors and mistakes pointed out. Definition of the Problem The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the dates traditionally held by the SDA Church as the fulfillment of the prophetic periods of Daniel 8:14 and 9:24- 27 (457 B.C. – A.D. 31 A.D. 1844) have biblical, typological, historical, chro- nological, astronomical and mathematical support, provided we consider that these periods start precisely in the autumn of 457 B.C., on the tenth day of the seventh Jewish month in 457 B.C. (Tishri 10 = October 28/29, Julian), the middle of the seventieth week coincides with the fifteenth of the first Jewish month in A.D. 31 (Nisan 15 = April 26/27, Julian), and the whole period ends on the tenth day of the juarezR.pmd 9/6/2004, 13:12 1
