In the last 20 years, some of the better known Bible students in Adventism have responded negatively to Jeff Pippenger's focus on the 2520. One reason I've not joined with either side is that it is not a salvation issue. Another reason for my "wait and see" attitude is that Ellen White held Miller's prophetic insight as being more acute and penetrating than any modern expositor. Since Miller taught the 2520, and since it appears on the 1843 chart, it seemed safer to me not to rush to judgment.
According to Miller, Ezekiel 39:9 regarding Gog and Magog applies from 677 BC to 1843 AD, 2520 years, the time that the princes of this world oppressed and took captive God's people, Israel and the Jews first and then the church. He viewed the seven months of Ez 39:12 as the 210 years from 1588 to 1798, the time of the wars between Protestantism until the defeat of the Papacy in 1798.
In addition to the above two reasons I gave for not dismissing the 2520 out of hand there is one more. To me, the most persuasive reason is that the main passage used by Miller, Ezekiel 39, applies imo primarily to the end of time, to the final gospel harvest under the latter rain. So, this thread is dedicated to examining the passages on the 2520, Gog and Magog, and their end-time significance which in my opinion is substantial.
