CHAPTER NINE: 2300 Years Become New Point of Emphasis

I. Basic Prophetic Principles Become Axiomatic

Through the passage of the centuries certain fundamental interpretations of prophecy came to be accepted generally, by careful expositors, as established, sound, and true—and therefore came to be regarded as more or less standard and axiomatic. These included the year-day principle and the consecutive historical outlines of Daniel. Through all the variations of related exposition some of these main interpretations continued to be recognized as established, and from them emerges a new emphasis on certain prophetic fulfillments in the early nineteenth century on both sides of the Atlantic, with the pattern quite pronounced. The most important feature of all was the new emphasis now being placed on the 2300 year-days. PFF4 204.1
