"In the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses shall every word be established", (2 Corinthians 13:1).

Below is the Bible Prophecy these men, throughout the world, were proclaiming.......

Daniel 8:14 "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed".

And, what does God says about any prophecy ?

2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

QUESTION: 'no private interpretation'.......and how many men were giving the 2300 day prophecy ?

1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.

Can you explain these peoples' interpretation of the 2300 day prophecy in a bit more detail?

I happened to read a little about the Adventist teaching on this last week. Didn't they begin counting from the time the decree was issued to rebuild the temple (in Nehemiah's time) and then assume each day prophetically meant a solar year, then calculate 2300 years after the decree to rebuild the temple, to arrive at 1844?

I do not know if I am on the same page with what you are trying to say in your thread, but what came to my mind was in the OT how there were a couple of examples were there were a group of prophets prophecying the same thing and then one prophet came and said their prophecy's where given them by a lying spirit.(1 Kings 22 concerning Micaiah)

I believe this shows we should not believe a doctrine just because the majority are in agreement on it or they all preach the same thing, it could be a lie. But we should compare with scripture whether those things are so. Actually I believe scriptually the majority have always been wrong. Matt 7:14 - "narrow is the way which leadeth unto life and FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT."

zathrus,

I must admit I am not too familiar with Russel, although his name does sound familiar. I did do a study once on the time period a few years back. I do not want to take away the main thought of this thread, but could you quickly tell me about Russel ??
