In this study Mr. Smith considers if it is possible to put together a timeline for end time prophecy. Many such charts can be found on the internet, but are they accurate? In this study Mr. Smith points out two obstacles to creating an accurate timeline. First of all, there are several three and a half year periods of time spoken of relating to the end time, but we cannot prove that these are all taking place at the same time. And then there is the book of Daniel that introduces periods of 1260, 1290, 1335 and 2300 days without clearly giving us their meanings. And when Daniel asked God for he meanings, he was told that they were sealed until the time of the end.
