And while it is true that she does not give such strong endorsements for the 1863 charts as she does for the first two, she does endorse and promote them. Second, Sister White gives very powerful endorsement for the 18 charts - that they were directed by God! She also specifies that the time period of the early 1840's is where the foundation of the church was laid. When you study into the 7 Times and begin to understand the many implications, details, and parallels of the 7 Times, you will begin to see some of the many connections that the 7 Times has with the 1863 chart. In other words, the 1863 prophecy chart, contrary to what some officials of the church would like to believe, literally proves the validity of the 2520 prophecy! It is also revealed, though not mentioned by the figure "2520", in the key of explanation for the 63 chart - with the starting dates and ending dates still shown. It is a symbolic parallel to the 7 Times time prophecy.
The "One Week" is a period of 7 literal years. Each one of these groups is, from what I have studied, throwing the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak.įirst of all, even though the 7 Times is not listed on the 1863 chart as the figure "2520" - it is still shown on that chart as the "One Week" from 27 ad to 31 ad, divided into two 3.5 sections. However, I would like to take a look at the 1863 charts a little closer, because from my studies, I believe that both of these viewpoints are wrong! They are the ditches on both sides of the road.
In the other viewpoint that is starting to be promoted by those who believe in the validity of the 2520, they claim that since the Laodicean message came into prominence in the mid-1850's that means that the 1863 prophecy chart was made out of rebellion against God, and that we should not use the 1863 chart. In the one that is promoted by the majority of the theologians and scholars of the Seventh-day Adventist church, they hold up the 1863 prophecy chart as the foundation of all Adventist belief and evidence that the 7 Times (2520) prophecy is a false prophecy because they claim that it has been removed from the 1863 chart. There are several viewpoints that are currently being circulated about these two charts today.
