2300 Day Prophecy of Daniel 8

In apocalyptic literature the year-day principle or day-year principle is an interpretive means to calculate past or future events. In the mid-1800s the American religious landscape was profoundly affected by these interpretive methods. The “day” is sometimes interpreted as “year” – especially prominent among eschatologists who embrace Historicism[1]—e.g., Seventh-Day Adventism.”[2]).

However, certain Premillenarian[3] Futurists[4] and, in particular, Dispensationalists[5], can interpret “day” to mean “year” and visa-versa. Similar beliefs on the “day-year” or “year-day” are held among Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormonism.
