21. Multiple Fulfillments for 2300 Days Impossible QSEW 19

How many fulfillments can be expected for the 2300-day prophecy? QSEW 19.1

Some Bible prophecies have more than one fulfillment. For example, Joel 2:28-32, Malachi 4:5, 6, and Matthew 24:14 all had a first-century fulfillment (see Acts 2:16; Matthew 17:12, 13; Colossians 1:23), and obviously all require a last-day fulfillment as well. But there is no sound basis for holding that the time prophecies of the Bible have multiple fulfillments. The 2300 day-years end only in 1844 when the sanctuary was to be cleansed. This period of time does not fit anywhere else. QSEW 19.2
