"It is in the books of Daniel and the Revelation, so frequently the basis of the sermons at our evangelistic meetings, that we find some of the most glorious passages describing Christ's power and coming kingdom.
The opening words of the Revelation state, “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to show unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass.” Rev. 1:1.
We show Christ walking amid the seven candlesticks (Rev. 1:13) in the sanctuary in Heaven, to Christ "a Lamb as it had been slain" (Rev. 5:6), to Christ as "King of kings, and Lord of lords" (Rev..webp)
19:16) coming to set up His everlasting kingdom.
When we preach from the prophetic book of Daniel, the 2,300 days prophecy opens to view Christ’s role, after the cross, of making intercession for Christ’s people. (Heb. 7:25; John 2:1), then, beginning in 1844, Christ’s central role in the judgment. (2 Tim. 4:1; John 5:22; Acts 10:42).

Comprising the first part of the 2,300 days is the seventy-weeks prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27, which points unmistakably to the first advent of Jesus Christ.
This prophecy proves that the Christ who was born in Bethlehem was indeed "Messiah the prince," whom "Moses and all the prophets" had foretold.
*Christ is at the very center of Bible prophecy as understood by Seventh-day Adventists."
