The story behind the “Mirror Chart.”
What is the Mirror Chart?
The Mirror Chart shows the repeating of prophetic history
as the last-day completion of prophecy,
—the seven thunders!
The seven thunders are seven events, but they are more than
just real-time events through which the last generation live!
The Spring Feasts were fulfilled by Christ as the Lamb;
—Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Pentecost.
God’s plan of redemption teaches that the Fall Feasts of
the 7th month will soon be fulfilled to the last generation;
—Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles.
The Spring Feasts were fulfilled during the symbolic 2300 years;
the Fall Feasts will be fulfilled
at the end of the 2300 literal days.
“. . . then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” Dan 8:14; EGW.
Type and Antitype!
The testimony of Jesus is the story of redemption
as foretold by the Feasts of our Lord
which is explained in Daniel and Revelation,
and will be completed to our generation!
~ This chart and website DOES NOT discuss
or project the 2300 literal days beginning or ending dates;
—neither does it give a date for the Second Coming of Jesus! ~
|
Great lessons will yet be learned from the fulfillment of the type,
—the 2300 YEARS.
These lessons will distinctly be re-applied
to the last great testimony of Jesus given to the world,
—the spirit of prophecy, —the antitype of 2300 DAYS,
and will guide the last generation in a knowledge of God’s law
never before understood by any previous generation!
The book of Daniel has two distinct fulfillments, a type and an antitype,
which are specifically directed by the hand of the Mighty Angel of Rev 10.
Understanding the Mirror Chart
The two charts on this page are unique charts. The above chart (The Mirror Chart) is actually two charts in one and teaches that there is both a historical fulfillment, —the 2300 years (the upper half of the chart), and a last-day fulfillment of the seven thunders, —the 2300 days (the lower half of the chart).
The Mirror Chart is a study chart which has Further Study ‘hotspots’ for every element on the chart. Click on any point of interest and it will take you to a page of explanation and study.
The top-half of the Mirror Chart (above the blue horizontal dotted line - - - -) teaches Daniel 7-12 as the type of prophetic history, fulfilled in symbolic time, —a-day-for-a-year. (The two proof texts, Numbers 14:33, 34 and Ezekiel 4:5, 6, are the only texts used to show a-day-for-a-year principle. (For Further Study, see the hot-linked study found on the top left of the chart called, “Prophetic Time, a-day-for-a-year.”) What is amazing is that Gabriel showed Daniel that he was to understand that the time prophecies were to be fulfilled in years. (Further Study: “What did Daniel understand, —Days or Years?”)
The bottom-half of the Mirror Chart (below the blue horizontal dotted line - - - -) also reflects Daniel 7-12, but as the antitype fulfillment of the last days, which the Mighty Angel of Revelation 10 explains as the seven thunders. These prophecies will be repeated in greater detail than was fulfilled in history. Says the Mighty Angel, ‘Thou must prophesy again’; Rev 10:11), not in years —but in literal days, —a-day-for-a-day, just as the time prophecies of Daniel (and Revelation) are written. (Further Study: The 2300 Literal Days; —Why Exactly 2300 Days?
Yes! Gabriel taught Daniel both a symbolic day, a year fulfillment and a literal day fulfillment. The symbolic day fulfillment was shown to Daniel in chapter 9:24, “seventy weeks of years” or 490 years (Strong’s #7620), when the Messiah would come to Israel. The literal day fulfillment was shown Daniel in chapter 8:14 and 26, “seventy weeks of years” or 490 years, when the Messiah/High Priest will come to the last-day Israel (Strong’s #H6153+H1242). (Verse 26 better translates these two Hebrew words, “evening and the morning,” which are the exact same words used in Genesis 1 to explain one day, who’s length of 24 hours.) (Revelation 10:6 says; “there should be time no longer.” “Time” describes “prophetic time” or “symbolic time,” which is a-day-for-a-year. Therefore prophetic time would need to end before the repeated literal time prophecies can begin.) (Sadly, it has taken us more than 160 years and four generations to learn this!) (Further Study: 7BC 971.7; WLF 12.8; and Ellen White and
Literal Time concerning Last-day Events)
The time prophecies should NOT be the CENTER of study. The center of study is Christ. It is Christ who is the Mighty Angel of Revelation 10, and it is He who puts the emphasis on the reading of the seven thundering events from the open little book of Daniel.
What are the seven thunders?
—Linked studies attached to the Mirror Chart and the page it’s on explain in more detail with references the following conclusions:
There is nothing more important for the last generation than having a working knowledge of the little book of seven thunders in Revelation 10! It embodies the whole plan of salvation and the Revelation of Jesus Christ unseals them.
The seven thundering voices are heard from the little open book in the hand of the Mighty Angel. (Rev 10:1-3) It is open because it is a Revelation of Jesus Christ! (Rev 1:1; 5:5, 6) The Mighty Angel is Jesus, appearing as the Shekinah with a rainbow covenant (Rev 10:1) in the Most Holy Place of the Heavenly Sanctuary (Rev 4; 5:1) ON the last great Day of Atonement! (Lev 16:2; Dan 7:9-13; Dan 8:14) The open book in His hand is the prophetic book of Daniel, —unsealed. (Dan 9:24; 12:9, 13; 8:17) Revelation unseals Daniel (Rev 6:1, 3, 5, etc.) for the last generation as seven thunders! (Rev 10:8-10) The seven thunders are seven of the most important last-day events; —yet they are more than just events seen by the ‘peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings’ of the earth. The seven thunders should remind us of the children of Israel at Mt. Sinai, when thunder was heard from God at the giving of His law. (Ex 20:18) As the children of Israel heard the thunder of God’s Law at Mt. Sinai, so also will the last generation hear the thunder of God’s Law. The seven thunders will uniquely show the redemptive path provided for the last generation by explaining, step-by-step, the finishing “of the mystery of God . . . , as He hath declared to his servants the prophets” (Rev 10:7) The first event signals the building of the Temple** (Rev 11:1; Dan 9:25; FS 7), and the last event of the seven thunders is the cleansing of the Heavenly Sanctuary of forgiven sin, —“Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” (Dan 8:14; Ex 30:10; Lev 23:27-32; Lev 25:9; WLF 12.8) YES! This is one of the greatest events in the plan of redemption! The closer the Israelite drew to the Day of Atonement, the greater was his anticipation for the forgiveness of ALL his sins for the year. There may have been many sins atoned for during the year, but only once a year were they done away with, and placed on the head of the symbolic goat, —Satan. We should now have this anticipation, for the Last Great Day of Atonement is soon to be completed.
—And “then commenced the jubilee. . .” (EW 286.1) (The prophetic events of the Fall Feasts were NOT fulfilled in 1844! They must yet be fulfilled so that the plan of redemption can be completed as foretold by the Fall Feast prophecies of Leviticus! Lev 23:23-44.) (Further Study: FS-5 See also FS-6
Question: Why exactly 2300 days?)
Some feel that the last great test will be exclusively between the seventh-day Sabbath and Sunday worship; but the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation show that the last great issue will be much larger. (Rev 12:1) We have yet to understand the full picture of the last great test and all that the testimony of Jesus includes and teaches us! (Lev 23-all; Ps 19:7-10)
The Mirror Chart is deeply immersed in the events of the Heavenly Sanctuary and the Jewish economy explains these events in more detail than we now understand. The last generation of saints has a special assignment handed to them by the Mighty Angel. YES! The last generation of saints are handed the unsealed book of seven thunders and commanded to eat it, —making it a part of their daily life. (Rev 10:8-10) We are to take the little book of last-day prophecies and eat the book. Its study will be sweet as honey; but living through the events will be a bitter experience, yet we shall be victorious! We are to study the prophets for a better understanding of the sanctuary service and the Jewish economy so that we may take part in building the covenant tabernacle during the last events of earth’s history and stand victorious in Christ at His second coming!

What does Ellen White say
about the Seven Thunders?
** The building of the Temple is NOT the building of a temple in Jerusalem, commonly called the building of the third temple, which most professed Christians believe and support today. (back to **)
“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time (H4150), but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. . . .the just shall live by his faith.” Habakkuk 2:1-4
“Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” “Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed (H4150) the end shall be.” Dan 8:14, 19
“Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a Day of Atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.” Lev 23:27
“Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly.” (H6116)
Joel 2:15-17

The above Type and Antitype Chart shows two charts; —a larger chart on the left, —and a smaller chart on the right. They are similar, yet they are different! They both are inclusive of the prophetic timelines of Daniel; i.e. the 2300 years/days; the 70 weeks (490 years/days); time, times, and an half (1260 years/days); 1290 years/days and 1335 years/days.
• The larger chart on the left side represents the 2300 symbolic years which is the fulfillment of Daniel’s historical type.
The Type on the left points to and explains the Antitype on the right.
• The smaller chart on the right side represents the 2300 literal days which is the fulfillment of Daniel’s repeated prophecies —seven thundering events —the last-day antitype.
Jesus has placed a brilliant plan in the book of Daniel for the salvation of each generation, —and even more so does He care for (Rev 1:11-19) and provide for (Rev 5:5, 6) the last generation. (Matt 24:33, 34) He has placed the prophecies of Daniel to be fulfilled in history, starting in B.C. 457 and ending in 1844. (FS: A Great Prophetic Period) The Prophetic History of Daniel was guided by the Mighty Angel so that it would be repeated for the last generation. In so doing, Jesus gave to the last generation a TYPE, which, if diligently studied, would lead them to the book of Revelation, where the Mighty Angel unseals the little book of seven thunders as the repeated ANTITYPE of Daniel.
The repeated prophetic history of Daniel’s prophecies will have a dramatic effect upon those who study deep into the last-day prophetic warnings. The testimony of Jesus will become more clear as we draw closer to their events and the guiding Power of the Mighty Angel will be more blessed and brighter as we approach the last event —the last great Day of Atonement. (Dan 8:14, 19; Rev 10:6, 7; 11:19; Lev 23:26-32.) The greater amount of those who profess to be Christians will at that time not know which way to turn. (Hosea 4:6) The last generation of saints will have the sure word of prophecy! (2Peter 1:19-21)
Every step of the saints during the last events of earth’s history will be measured by the study of His Word.
“But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest,
and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.”
Dan 12:13
Those who take the book of Daniel from the hand of the Mighty Angel and eat it will accept the commission . . . Rev 10:8-10
“Thou must prophesy again. . .”
The Prophetic History of Daniel—explains—the Seven Thunders of Revelation
The Type—explains—the Antitype
The 2300 symbolic YEARS—explains—the 2300 literal DAYS
Past history—will be—repeated as last-day events
Prophetic time ends—so that—literal time can begin
The Spring Feasts were fulfilled—so that—the Fall Feasts can be fulfilled
The Judgment of the Dead ends—so that—the Judgment of the Living can begin
The symbolic Day of Atonement ends—when—Last Great Day of Atonement begins
The testimony of Jesus—is the—spirit of prophecy
The spirit of prophecy—is—explained in the sanctuary! *
“Thou must prophesy again. . .”
Rev 10:11
The Type and Antitype Chart shows the plan of salvation, from beginning to end, as revealed in Daniel’s prophecies. It teaches how Christ, the Angel of this prophecy (Dan 12:7; Rev 10:1), completes the prophetic plan of salvation for the redeemed of all previous generations, including the last generation, by the act of cleansing the heavenly sanctuary from the sins of the repentant saints, —which is soon to be fulfilled! (Dan 8:14, 19; Rev 10:6, 7; 11:19; Lev 23:26-32.)
A very important point to understand is that between the two fulfillments of the prophecies of Daniel —between the historical and the seven thunders— is an unknown amount of time, during which the YEARS END and the DAYS BEGIN.
These two charts do not represent a ‘dual application’ in the sense that each prophetic event has a different application/interpretation. We are to witness the repeating of the prophecies of Daniel in the most accurate and complete fulfillment.

Hitherto is the end of the matter.
As for me, my cogitations much troubled me,
and my countenance changed in me:
but I kept the matter in my heart.
Daniel 7:28
