    8. Ford’s Challenge to October 22, 1844

    Does Ford challenge these interpretations?QSEW 11.4

    Yes, all five of them. He declares:QSEW 11.5

    (1) “It is quite impossible to prove that the year-day principle is a Biblical datum.” “There is no Biblical basis for assuming that the year-day principle must be applied to Daniel 8 and 9.”—Ford, pages 288, 8. (Ford does allow that “in the providence of God ... the year-day principle was espoused after the Advent hope of the early church had faded away.” He insists that it “is not a primary Bible datum, but a providential strategy of God, only pertinent after the long centuries of unnecessary delay.”—Ford, pages 294, 643, 644.)QSEW 11.6

    (2) “There is no way of proving that the cutting off of the 490 from 2300 is intended.”—Ford, Page 288.QSEW 11.7

    (3) “There is no way of proving that the decree of 457 BC. is the one referred to in Daniel 9:25.”—Ford, Page 35.QSEW 11.8

    (4) “It is quite impossible to be dogmatic about the precise dates of prophetic fulfillment.”—Ford, Page 470.QSEW 11.9

    (5) “There is no certain evidence that October 22 was the tenth day of the seventh month in 1844.”—Ford, Page 470.QSEW 11.10
