2520 Days??

[Finaldash]

Anyone have any opinions on this prophetic number or can point me to a discussion on this??

[Finaldash]

Any takers? I know this thing equals 7 yrs, but i just need more details surrounding this number before I talk to this SDA guy with his "2520 day gathering of the saints" theory.
Orange, are you around??

Oh yeah, I'm around. But what is the exact question? What is the biblical text in question? What is the point of view being presented?

May the LORD bless you as you interact with someone from the Seventh Day Adventist movement. It's very confusing. They've listened to this stuff for years and have no room for any other points of view. I interacted with one over the course of about a year. I made absolutely no headway even though this person was proven dead wrong on several issues.

I am not sure but I think the SDA guy may be talking about this chart.

Notice that they have two charts one for Israel and one for Judah. Both charts begin with a curse on Israel and a curse on Judah. They take some "day" numbers from the bible and turn those into years. And after doing the math come out to 1843.

From that site (I am breaking up the paragraph to make it easier to read):

The decree against Judah, was the same as against Israel. They must be scattered among all nations. It could not be revoked, notwithstanding their repentance and partial reformation. Jeremiah xv.4, - "And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem," - tells us of the same thing, that Judah as well as Israel must be made captives.

Israel began to be carried away in the days of Hoshea, 722 B. C., and from that time to 1798 after Christ, is exactly 2520 years, or the seven prophetic years. How remarkable, that when the seven years ended, God began to deliver his church from her bondage, which for ages had been made subject to the kings of the earth. In 1798 the church came out of the wilderness, and began to be delivered from her captivity.

So they put 1798 as some special year...for the Israel curse. But they go on to say...for the Judah curse, there is another special year of 1843.

But the completion of her slavery to the kingdoms of the earth, is reserved for another period. Beginning B. C., 677 years, seven prophetic years, or 2520 common years, would end in A. D. 1843. Therefore, beginning at the captivity of Manasseh and the final dispersion of the ten tribes of Israel, where God has fixed the time for the dispersion of the people of God and the scattering of the holy people, until the year 1843, will be the end of the seven years, when the acceptable year of the LORD will commence; and, in my humble opinion, the children of God will be delivered from all the evils enumerated by Moses in Leviticus xxvi., and Jeremiah xv.; from war or the sword, from pestilence and famine, from captivity and spoil, from death and corruption; and all will be comforted, and all tears be wiped from off all faces; sighs and sorrows shall cease forever, and there shall be no more curse, for the throne of the Lamb shall be there, and he shall dwell with them, and be their God, and they shall be his people. This will take place in the acceptable year of the Lord, the antitypical year of release.

I would refer the SDA guy to that link and ask him if those charts have any connection to his beliefs.... and go from there. If not, ask him if he has a chart for what he believes regarding the 2520 days.

Thanks for responding Dougg and Orange. I haven't set up my meeting with him yet. I guess when I get going with our schedule I'll detail out my questions and help from you intellects :)
Anyways, I went through Investigative judgment and the 2300 day prophecy with him already. Also went through the 490 day prophecy with him. They mistakenly start their starting points at 457bc on those timelines instead of 445bc. Ezra vs Nehemiah. They also use the standard Solar years instead of Lunar years for those prophecies. So it just don't make any sense. So when he brings up this 2520 day prophecy which equals to 360x7, seems like they change it to lunar yrs again just to fit their intentions. I'll iron it out when I meet with him. I'm in Alaska right now, I'll meet up with him back in Seattle next week. Thanks.

Just so you know, Final Dash, SDA believes that the little horn of Daniel 7 and 8 is the Roman Catholic Church. When I wrote my post in the Prophecy Debate section titled A Comprehensive View of Daniel's Prophecies, it came out of my deliverations with SDA's twisting of that book to meet their desired end. Right now that post in on the fourth page.

I wouldn't call that part a mistake.
