Pay Attention to Daniel’s Prophecy!, “Unraveling the Mystery of the Great Tree (chap. 6)”
“Since the “seven times” are prophetic, we must apply to the 2,520 days the Scriptural rule: “A day for a year.” … They began with the desolation of Judah and Jerusalem in the seventh lunar month (Tishri 15) of 607 B.C.E. … From that point to 1 B.C.E. is 606 years. The remaining 1,914 years stretch from then to 1914 C.E. Thus, the “seven times,” or 2,520 years, ended by Tishri 15, or October 4/5, 1914 C.E.”
The preceding paragraphs argue that Nebuchadnezzar’s own “seven times” were seven years of 360 days, that 2,520 literal days from 607 B.C.E. would reach only “600 B.C.E., a year having no Scriptural significance”, and that 537 B.C.E. cannot be the end because Zerubbabel was made governor, not king.
