No one is suggesting that everything on the chart is correct. What we do claim is that the prophecies that pointed to 1843, that using the same evidence, were then seen to point to 1844. These prophecies were directed by the hand of the LORD. They were altered by inspiration and corrected on the 1850 chart. The other dates were not directed by God, were taken from the best historical sources at the time. For the 508 Ad date see 508 source book by Heidi Heiks before you claim that there is no historical evidence for 508.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752725679843664221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539761742790178937.post-29484742984154277142013-10-26T21:36:33.526-07:002013-10-26T21:36:33.526-07:00You "could find no chronology that gave 677 B...You "could find no chronology that gave 677 BC as the date for Manasseh’s captivity"? The most reliable Biblical Chronology is Ussher's. He gives the date 677 BC. The logic that places Manasseh's captivity in his 22nd year are echoed by Sister White. " Faithfully the prophets continued their warnings and their exhortations; fearlessly they spoke to Manasseh and to his people; but the messages were scorned; backsliding Judah would not heed. As an earnest of what would befall the people should they continue impenitent, the Lord permitted their king to be captured by a band of Assyrian soldiers, who "bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon," their temporary capital. This affliction brought the king to his senses; "he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, and prayed unto Him: and He was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord He was God." 2 Chronicles 33:11-13. But this repentance, remarkable though it was, came too late to save the kingdom from the corrupting influence of years of idolatrous practices. Many had stumbled and fallen, never again to rise." {PK 382.3} <br />In the booklet for the 1863 charts Uriah Smith notes, “At the right of the image stands a line of beasts, a lion, a bear, leopard, and nondescript beast in two forms, representing another vision. A view of these beasts was given to Daniel in vision, as recorded in chapter vii, of his prophecy. In verse 17, these beasts are declared to be four kings or kingdoms. The manner of their rise, Daniel describes in verse 2, thus: I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea, and four great beasts came up, diverse one from another. Seas denote nations and peoples. Rev.17:15. Wind denotes war and strife. Hence these kingdoms rose and fell through revolutions and political strife. The Lion standing opposite to the head of gold, is a symbol of the same power, namely, the kingdom of Babylon…. It existed, as seen in the head of gold, from B.C. 677, to 538, one hundred and thirty-nine years. The bear [is] a symbol of Persia, the same as the breast and arms of the image. He raised himself up on one side. The empire was composed of the two elements, the Medes and Persians, and the Persian was the higher and leading element. It had three ribs in its mouth, supposed to denote the three provinces of Babylon, Lydia, and Egypt, which it conquered and grievously oppressed. It existed from B.C.538, to 331, two hundred and seven years. [In the leopard] we have another symbol of Grecia, corresponding with the brazen portion of the image. This beast, unlike anything in nature, has four wings and four heads. The four heads denote the four parts into which the empire was divided on the death of Alexander, and under which it continued, till supplanted by the Roman power. The leopard is of itself exceedingly fierce and swift, but this not being sufficient, four wings of a fowl are added, to denote the unparalleled rapidity that characterized the conquests of the Grecian empire, especially under Alexander, who is said to have conquered kingdoms, more speedily than others could have marched their armies through them. This kingdom is included between the dates B.C. 331, and 161, one hundred and seventy years.” pp. 5,6<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752725679843664221noreply@blogger.com
