The following two Bible texts refer to the day-year principle in relation to time prophecies:

I have two questions:

1 - Are there any other Bible texts that substantiates the day-year principle in relation to time prophecies?

2 - Does this cover ALL the time prophecies?

Daryl,

I would have to give more thought to question #1, but #2 is easy to answer: the millennium is a time prophecy, but it is believed to be a literal thousand years rather than symbolic. If it were symbolic, it would represent 360,000 years. As a result, I think it safe to say that the year-day principle does not cover every time prophecy.

Using the 1,000 years (millennium) as an example, if the day-year principle doesn't cover all of the time prophecies, which the example shows that it doesn't, then how do we know when to apply it and not to apply it?

By the way, I think I heard Pastor Doug Batchelor give a third Bible text to substantiate the day-year principle, however, I can't remember what text he used.

What right have we to apply these texts to the time prophecies in Daniel and the Revelation?

Why not apply these texts to the time prophecies in Daniel and the Revelation?

Where do we get the permission?

What do you mean by that?

Where in the Bible does it say to apply the day-year principle to the time prophecies in Daniel and the Revelation?

Answering with the question, Where does it say we can't, assumes biblical approval isn't necessary, that absence of a prohibition is all that is required. This is a tenuous position.

So the question should be, why do we think we can use the day-year principle at all?
