    William Miller, with the assistance of many preachers of many faiths, created a great religious awakening, in the early 1840s based on their belief that Bible prophesy predicted that Christ would return to this earth in 1843/1844 to initiate His eternal kingdom. No one, then or since, has been able to disprove their conclusions that Daniel's prophecy "Unto 2,300 days then shall the sanctuary be cleansed," did not end on October 22, 1844. Latter study confirms that the prophecy accurately predicted Christ's High Priestly initiation of the final cleansing of His spiritual and heavenly sanctuary-the Great Day of Atonement. This activity involves reviewing the lives of all of Christ's professed followers throughout history as to whether or not they have allowed the new birth experience to fit them for heaven. The purpose is to determine who are the true wise virgins that will be gathered into His eternal kingdom when He does return. The Revelation refers to this judgment event as the first angel's message: "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." (Revelation 14:6-7 KJV)The reader of this two volume set will be greatly impressed by the depth and solidness of the study of William Miller and his supportive ministers. Only the more prominent of the Eastern United States are included in this collection;-there were many more, even in foreign lands, promoting the same messages.Volume 1 of this set includes all of the material by William Miller, and most of that by Samuel Bliss. Volume 2 contains a final book by Bliss and the material of the other ten featured authors. Sample titles are: Miller-Evidence from Scripture and History of the Second Coming of ChristBliss- Analysis of Sacred ChronologyCrosier-The SanctuaryFitch-Come Out of Her, My PeopleFoy-The Christian Experience of William E. FoyHale-Herald of the BridegroomLitch-An Address to the Public, and Especially the ClergyPreble-The Two AdamsSnow-The True Midnight Cry, Storrs-The Rich Man and LazarusWard-History and Doctrine of the MillenniumWhiting-Origin, Nature, and Influence of NeologyMiller, William (1782-1849)-.Farmer, preacher, and author. Miller was born at Pittsfield, Massachusetts. His formal schooling consisted of only 18 months, but he became self-taught through his strong habit of reading. He also early began to write, composing poetry and keeping a diary. His reading exposed him to infidel authors who influenced him in the direction of deism. He became a justice of the peace in his late twenties, and fought in the War of 1812. Several experiences during this conflict turned his mind toward a personal God. By 1816 he was converted, and began Bible study in earnest. He wrote, "The Scriptures . . . became my delight, and in Jesus I found a friend."The initial expectation of the Advent believers was disappointed when the spring of 1844 passed without Christ's return. The seventh-month movement the following summer revived expectation with a focus on October 22 of that year. Miller accepted the validity of that date shortly before it came. But with this "passing of the time" the faith of all was sorely tested. Miller responded, "Although I have been twice disappointed, I am not yet cast down or discouraged. Although surrounded with enemies and scoffers, yet my mind is perfectly calm, and my hope in the coming of Christ is as strong as ever" (Letter, November 10, 1844 [Herald of the Midnight Cry, 107]

    A Brief Commentary on the Apocalypse is a classic work of bible study that was originally written in 1853, and it provides fascinating insight to the Book of Revelation. The author describes how historical events have occurred which fulfill the great bible prophecy. The Book of Revelation, often called the Revelation to John, the Apocalypse of John, The Revelation, or simply Revelation or Apocalypse (and often misquoted as Revelations), is a book of the New Testament that occupies a central place in Christian eschatology. Its title is derived from the first word of the text, written in Koine Greek: apokalypsis, meaning "unveiling" or "revelation" (before title pages and titles, books were commonly known by their first words, as is also the case of the Hebrew Five Books of Moses (Torah)). The Book of Revelation is the only apocalyptic document in the New Testament canon (although there are short apocalyptic passages in various places in the Gospels and the Epistles).[a] The author names himself in the text as "John", but his precise identity remains a point of academic debate. Second century Christian writers such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Melito the bishop of Sardis, and Clement of Alexandria and the author of the Muratorian fragment identify John the Apostle as the "John" of Revelation. Modern scholarship generally takes a different view, and many consider that nothing can be known about the author except that he was a Christian prophet.Some modern scholars characterise Revelation's author as a putative figure whom they call "John of Patmos". The bulk of traditional sources date the book to the reign of the emperor Domitian (AD 81-96), and the evidence tends to confirm this. The book spans three literary genres: the epistolary, the apocalyptic, and the prophetic. It begins with John, on the island of Patmos in the Aegean, addressing a letter to the "Seven Churches of Asia". He then describes a series of prophetic visions, including figures such as the Whore of Babylon and the Beast, culminating in the Second Coming of Jesus. The obscure and extravagant imagery has led to a wide variety of Christian interpretations: historicist interpretations see in Revelation a broad view of history; preterist interpretations treat Revelation as mostly referring to the events of the apostolic era (1st century), or, at the latest, the fall of the Roman Empire; futurists believe that Revelation describes future events; and idealist or symbolic interpretations consider that Revelation does not refer to actual people or events, but is an allegory of the spiritual path and the ongoing struggle between good and evil.

    William Miller was a leader in the great Advent movement that swept America in the 1830s and 1840s. Altough he was a farmer, he spent much time studying God's word. In his study, he came to the amazing conclusion that Christ was coming back to Earth in but a few years. Being strongly impressed by God that he was to go and "tell it to the world," Miller, after a long resistance, finally yielded and accepted an invitation to preach what he was studying. This was for him a new experience, but it had such a powerful effect on the people that a great movement begun all over America and around the world, by which people came to know that Christ's return was "even at the doors" (Mat. 24:33). In this book, Sylvester Bliss recalls several facts and heart-warming stories about Miller's life and work. The reader will feel the impetus and force of the message that was carried into every missionary station of the world. What a comfort it is to understand and verify that God's hand was in this movement. One will have but an incomplete experience without becoming acquainted with the early efforts in this great Advent movement. We must review our history, so that our faith can become strong by contemplating the providences of God and His teaching in our past history regarding Christ's soon coming.
