it's 2 days earlier vs it's 2 days before

These are both acceptable phrases, but they would be used in somewhat dissimilar contexts. 'It's two days earlier' is used when referring to a specific point in time that is earlier than the current time. On the other hand, 'It's two days before' is used when referring to an event or point in time that is coming up in the future.
