Adventist History | The Message of the Advent (Part 2)

Understand the core message proclaimed by the Millerites, centered on the First Angel’s Message of Revelation 14: “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment is come.” See how William Miller, empowered by the Holy Spirit, preached this message with urgency, initially focusing on the end of the 2300-day prophecy in 1843. Explore the purpose of this message: to awaken the churches from worldliness and backsliding. Witness the general rejection of this warning by established denominations, leading to the proclamation of the Second Angel’s Message: “Babylon is fallen,” as around 50,000 believers separated from fallen churches in the summer of 1844. Learn how Samuel Snow corrected the prophetic calculation, leading to the powerful “Midnight Cry” (“Behold, the Bridegroom cometh!”) focused on October 22, 1844, the true Day of Atonement, energizing the movement with intense spiritual fervor and preparation.
