Reformation 02:10 and its call for a return to the Bible 02:12 as the Christian's supreme authority began to shift 02:15 from the Old World to the New. 02:18 Thousands braved the often treacherous journey across the 02:21 Atlantic Ocean during the 17th and 18th centuries 02:24 in search of a refuge for freedom. 02:27 In Europe, even in England, 02:29 the pendulum of power swung back and forth 02:31 for decades between those who wanted to protect 02:35 religious freedom and those who wanted to curtail it. 02:39 More and more, 02:40 it was recognized that a new country with a new philosophy 02:44 of government would be needed as a haven 02:47 for those wishing to hold and share their faith 02:51 in accord with the dictates of conscience. 02:53 ♪[Music and horses galloping]♪ 02:58 With America's achievement of independence 03:00 from Great Britain in 1783, 03:03 a series of events opened the way for an even clearer 03:06 understanding of the Bible, 03:08 and in particular Bible prophecy. 03:11 The French Revolution, which began in 1789, 03:15 saw the people of France rise up against not only the monarchy, 03:19 but also the Church. 03:23 There was an attempt to overthrow the Bible 03:25 and Christianity altogether. 03:27 The cry of the revolutionaries was, 03:30 "Crush the wretch." 03:32 And the wretch that they were referring to was Jesus. 03:38 The Bible had been rejected, neglected, ignored so long. 03:42 The principles of the Protestant Reformation 03:44 had been rejected by a church 03:48 that was unwilling to be reformed. 03:50 France's brief experiment with atheism, 03:55 instead of getting rid of the Bible 03:57 or the message of Christianity, 03:59 led more people than ever before to be interested in God's Word. 04:03 In the early years of the 19th century, 04:06 Bible societies sprang up around the world. 04:09 Interest spread in the prophecies 04:11 of Daniel and Revelation. 04:12 The way would be open for yet another reformer, 04:15 this one from the United States, 04:18 to call the attention of the world to the Word of God. 04:21 That man was William Miller. 04:23 He was born in 1782, 04:26 the same year as Martin Van Buren, 04:29 who would become the eighth President of the United States. 04:32 When Miller was born in Pittsfield 04:34 in western Massachusetts, 04:36 the Revolutionary War was in full swing. 04:38 George Washington became the nation's first President, 04:41 just days before William Miller's seventh birthday. 04:45 Like so many other reformers, 04:47 poverty and hardship shaped his character. 04:51 His father had served as a captain in the Continental Army 04:53 during the American Revolution. 04:56 Many of his father's struggles and trials 04:58 made a big impression on young William. 05:01 His mother was a woman of integrity 05:03 with deep religious convictions. 05:05 Miller was a strong young man, and he was intelligent. 05:09 He wasn't able to attend college, 05:11 pretty typical for people of his era, 05:13 but he did enjoy books and he learned a lot 05:15 from his own studies. 05:17 He was raised a Baptist, 05:19 but in his early 20s he began to read the writings 05:22 of Thomas Paine and Voltaire and Ethan Allen, 05:25 and he became a deist. 05:28 He believed in God, 05:30 but he didn't believe that God intervened directly 05:34 in the lives of human beings. 05:36 But that view would be challenged. 05:38 While serving in the military, 05:40 a bomb exploded just two feet from where he was standing. 05:44 Three of his men were injured. 05:46 One was killed. 05:47 But Miller miraculously escaped unscathed. 05:51 After that, the improbable victory over the British, 05:54 and Miller began to wonder whether or not 05:57 God had something to do with that. 06:00 After his time in the military, 06:02 William Miller moved here to this farm 06:04 near the Adirondack Mountains, 06:05 just outside of Whitehall in eastern New York, 06:09 close to the border with Vermont. 06:11 Farm life wasn't easy in the early 1800s. 06:15 There was no mechanized farm equipment, 06:17 no central heat in the home. 06:19 William and his wife Lucy and their five children 06:22 would have to survive off what the farm produced. 06:27 And back at home, 06:29 Miller opened the Bible for the first time in his life 06:32 to learn for himself what the Scriptures actually taught. 06:37 It wasn't long before he met Jesus. 06:40 Later, he wrote of this experience, 06:42 "I saw that the Bible did bring to view 06:45 such a Savior as I needed, 06:48 and I was perplexed to find how an uninspired book 06:52 should develop principles so perfectly 06:54 adapted to the wants of a fallen world. 06:58 I was constrained to admit that the Scriptures 07:01 must be a revelation from God. 07:04 They became my delight, and in Jesus, 07:08 I found a friend. 07:10 I lost all taste for other reading and applied my 07:14 heart to get wisdom from God." 07:16 The more he read and studied the Bible, 07:19 the more fascinating it became to him. 07:21 Now, he was an independent thinker, 07:24 William Miller, and he rejected a number of the commonly 07:27 held beliefs of his day. 07:29 He didn't believe that the whole world 07:31 would be converted to Christ, 07:32 nor did he believe there'd be 1,000 years of peace on earth. 07:36 Miller believed that the return of Jesus 07:38 would be personal and literal, 07:41 and that God would not set up his kingdom on Earth 07:43 until after Christ's return. 07:47 He came to the conclusion that all of Scripture 07:49 should be considered before reaching a conclusion 07:51 about any Bible teaching. 07:54 As the Apostle Paul wrote, 07:55 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, 07:58 and is profitable for doctrine, 08:00 for reproof, 08:01 for correction, 08:03 for instruction in righteousness," 08:05 2 Timothy 3:16. 08:08 He believed the Bible to be truly the Word of God, 08:11 not just a collection of personal religious opinions. 08:14 "Knowing this first, 08:16 that no prophecy of the Scripture 08:18 is of any private interpretation, 08:20 for prophecy never came by the will of man, 08:25 but holy men of God spoke as they were 08:27 moved by the Holy Spirit." 08:30 Miller believed that the Bible 08:31 was inspired by the Holy Spirit, and therefore, 08:34 comparing one passage of the Bible with another 08:37 would lead you to a correct understanding. 08:40 It was these principles for interpreting the Bible 08:42 that led William Miller to shake up the world, 08:45 especially when it came to Bible prophecy. 08:49 Miller believed that by 08:50 carefully studying the prophetic symbols in the Bible, 08:53 he could arrive at a correct understanding 08:55 of what those symbols represented. 08:57 I'll be right back with more. 08:59 ♪[Music]♪ 09:06 It's undoubtedly the world's great superpower, 09:08 the United States of America. 09:10 But what of it's role in Earth's last days? 09:13 Does

Written. 09:38 William Miller was a Baptist farmer who studied his Bible, 09:43 and he arrived at conclusions that shook up 09:46 the United States of America. 09:48 As he read the Bible, 09:49 he was tempted to ignore the time periods 09:52 found in Bible prophecy. 09:54 But the more he read, the more convicted he became 09:57 that these were periods that he really needed to understand. 10:01 And the one to which his mind kept returning 10:03 was Daniel 8, verse 14, which says, 10:07 "Unto 2,300 days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed." 10:12 As he tried to understand this verse, 10:14 Miller followed the principle that the Bible 10:17 is to be its own interpreter. 10:18 He'd discovered from a reading elsewhere in the Bible 10:21 that a day in Bible prophecy represents a year. 10:27 He found that in Numbers 14, verse 34, 10:29 Ezekiel 4:6, and other places. 10:32 And when he went over to Daniel chapter 9 10:34 and he read the 70 weeks prophecy 10:37 that references Jesus' first coming, 10:40 Miller was amazed by what he found. 10:43 Here's that prophecy. 10:44 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people 10:46 and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression 10:50 and to make an end of sins, 10:52 and to make reconciliation for iniquity, 10:54 and to bring in everlasting righteousness, 10:57 and to seal up the vision and prophecy, 10:59 and to anoint the Most Holy. 11:02 Know, therefore, and understand that from the going forth 11:04 of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem, 11:08 unto Messiah the Prince, 11:10 shall be seven weeks and threescore and two weeks. 11:13 The streets shall be built again, and the wall, 11:16 even in troublous times. 11:17 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, 11:23 but not for himself. 11:25 And the people of the prince that shall come 11:27 shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, 11:30 and the end thereof shall be with a flood, 11:32 and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 11:37 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week, 11:41 and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice 11:44 and the oblation to cease, 11:46 and for the overspreading of abominations 11:48 he shall make it desolate, 11:49 even until the consummation, 11:51 and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." 11:56 Now, that's quite a passage, 11:57 and Miller was determined to get to the bottom of it. 12:01 Consider what the passage contains: 12:03 a time period allotted to Israel, 70 weeks, 12:07 a commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, 12:11 the coming of Messiah the Prince. 12:13 That's Jesus, his first coming. 12:16 Messiah being cut off or executed, 12:19 a covenant being confirmed for a week, 12:23 the end of sacrifice and offering, and more. 12:27 The popular theory in Miller's day 12:29 was that the sanctuary referenced in Daniel 8:14 12:32 represented the Earth, 12:35 so Miller decided that the cleansing of the sanctuary 12:38 would be when the earth was cleansed by fire 12:41 when Jesus returned. 12:43 And then there was this time period, 2,300 days. 12:49 Using the principle of prophetic interpretation 12:51 that taught that a day represents a year in prophecy, 12:55 Miller considered these 2,300 days to be 2,300 years. 13:02 The decree that provided the starting point for this prophecy 13:06 Miller found in Ezra chapter 7, 13:09 the decree issued by the Medo-Persian king Artaxerxes, 13:13 permitting Israel to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem 13:16 and reorder society there. 13:19 Knowing this, 13:21 it wouldn't be hard for Miller to work out the particulars 13:23 of this prophecy. 13:25 So here's what Miller discovered. 13:28 The decree was issued in the year 457 BC. 13:32 Add 2,300 years to that, and you get to the year 1843. 13:38 Miller was thrilled. 13:41 He'd figured out that Jesus was going to return to the Earth 13:45 in just 25 years. 13:47 Miller wrote, "I was thus brought to the solemn conclusion 13:52 that in about 25 years from that time, 1818, 13:56 all the affairs of our present state would be wound up." 14:00 The farmer, the former military man, 14:03 had made an astonishing discovery. 14:05 Jesus was coming back to the earth, and he knew when. 14:11 He described the experience in these words. 14:13 "I need not speak of the joy that filled my heart 14:16 in view of the delightful prospect, 14:19 nor of the ardent longings of my soul 14:22 for a participation in the joys of the redeemed. 14:26 The Bible was now to me a new book. 14:28 It was indeed a feast of reason. 14:32 All that was dark, mystical, or obscure to me in its teachings 14:37 had been dissipated in my mind before the clear light 14:41 that now dawned from its sacred pages, 14:44 and oh, how bright and glorious the truth appeared." 14:48 And then came the conviction that he should tell others 14:51 what he'd learned. 14:53 An inner voice seemed to drive him 14:55 to go and tell it to the world. 14:58 He shared his views in private studies 15:00 and in conversations with others, 15:02 but he wasn't in any hurry at all to make them known publicly. 15:06 After all, he was no public speaker. 15:09 He was 50 years old and had no formal theological training. 15:13 For nine years, he resisted the commission 15:16 that God was pressing upon his heart. 15:19 Finally, he put God to the test. 15:22 He told God in prayer that if he received an invitation to speak, 15:28 he would take this as Heaven's sign 15:30 that he was to share his findings. 15:33 As it happened, 15:35 an invitation was on its way to him at that very moment. 15:38 A young man had traveled 16 miles to the Miller farm 15:42 with a message from his father in Dresden, New York. 15:46 There wouldn't be any preaching in their church the next day. 15:48 Instead, they wanted William Miller to talk to the people 15:53 on the subject of the second coming of Jesus. 15:56 Miller was shocked and angry 15:59 that he'd made that promise to God, 16:02 but he didn't give the boy an answer. 16:04 Instead, he left his house and he came here 16:07 to this very grove of trees, 16:09 where he spent about an hour talking with God, 16:12 trying to get out of the commitment that he just made. 16:15 But Miller couldn't break his covenant. 16:17 Instead, he went back to the house, 16:20 where the boy was still waiting. 16:21 And they later journeyed together to Dresden, 16:24 a journey which took them about an hour, 16:27 which means the boy had left his home to come 16:31 and invite Miller to speak before Miller 16:33 had made his pledge to God. 16:38 It was later said that Miller came into the woods a farmer, 16:41 and he went out a preacher. 16:44 That presentation was so well received, 16:46 he was asked to stay in Dresden and preach throughout the week. 16:51 When he returned home, 16:52 there was a letter inviting him to speak in 16:54 Poultney, Vermont. 16:56 And so it went. 16:57 Over the next 13 years, William Miller would average almost 17:01 270 speaking appointments a year. 17:05 While the common people received Miller's message 17:08 enthusiastically, 17:10 the popular religious leaders weren't impressed at all. 17:13 Most of what they wrote, preached, 17:15 or published about Miller's message was negative. 17:19 In fact, the time came when 17:21 many who accepted the teachings of Miller and his associates 17:25 would be thrown out of many of the mainline churches. 17:29 But like Martin Luther and other reformers, 17:31 William Miller simply challenged his critics 17:33 to show him his error from the Bible. 17:36 The thing was, when people listened to what Miller said 17:39 and they looked into the Bible, 17:41 everything seemed to add up. 17:42 It appeared that Miller was right. 17:44 The 2,300 days were definitely 2,300 years. 17:48 Miller had made that clear. 17:50 The decree, Ezra chapter 7 made that clear, 457 BC. 17:56 After that, simply a question of math. 18:00 Daniel 8:14 had said, 18:01 "Unto 2,300 days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed." 18:06 What else could it mean? 18:08 Jesus was coming back, and he was coming back in 1843. 18:14 Except for one small thing. 18:17 I'll be right back with more. 18:18 ♪[Music]♪ 18:27 >>Announcer:: In Matthew 4:4, the Word of God says, 18:29 "It is written, 18:30 'Man shall not live by bread

Let's live today by every word. 20:01 Thanks for joining me on It Is Written. 20:03 William Miller, 20:05 a Baptist farmer from a small town in New York State, 20:07 had discovered an amazing message in the Bible. 20:11 His careful study of God's Word had proven 20:15 that Jesus was coming back to the earth in 1843. 20:20 But as you know, 20:22 Jesus didn't come back in 1843. 20:25 Well, after that massive disappointment, 20:28 somebody figured out why. 20:31 You see, they'd forgotten that there was no year zero. 20:35 If you start at minus-five and you count to plus-five, 20:37 that's a difference of 10. 20:40 But if you start at 5 BC and you go to 5 AD, 20:44 that's a difference of nine because there's no year zero. 20:49 You go from 1 BC to 1 AD. 20:53 Of course! Jesus wasn't coming back in 1843. 20:59 He was coming back in 1844. 21:02 Miller's followers were called Millerites and Adventists 21:06 because of their belief in the imminent advent of Jesus. 21:09 By the summer of 1844, 21:11 this Advent movement built to its climax. 21:15 In August, a man by the name of Samuel Snow 21:18 addressed a Millerite gathering and showed from his study 21:22 of Scripture and the ancient Jewish Day of Atonement 21:25 that the 10th day of the seventh month, 21:27 the annual Day of Atonement, 21:30 would fall in 1844 on the 22nd of October. 21:36 This prediction gave even stronger momentum 21:38 to the movement. 21:39 The preachers continued to preach, 21:41 and literature explaining the prophecies of the Bible 21:44 and the time periods in question were circulated far and wide. 21:49 One of the prominent leaders of the movement, 21:51 Charles Fitch, died of pneumonia 21:54 after baptizing believers in the Ohio River. 21:56 Even though the weather was severely cold, 21:58 he refused to turn anyone away. 22:01 He died just 10 days before Jesus was expected to return, 22:05 but his family didn't mourn. 22:07 They believed that they'd be seeing him again, 22:10 that his body would come up out of the grave 22:12 in just a few more days. 22:15 At last, the appointed day arrived. 22:18 Some believers left their crops unharvested. 22:21 One shop owner in Philadelphia 22:23 left a sign in his window that said, 22:25 "This shop is closed in honor of the King of Kings, 22:29 who will appear the 22nd of October. 22:32 Get ready, friends, to crown Him Lord of all." 22:36 But as the day got longer, 22:38 these faithful believers 22:39 realized that Jesus might not return. 22:43 When midnight arrived, 22:45 the disappointment of the Millerites was intense. 22:49 The prophecy found in Revelation chapter 10 was fulfilled. 22:53 "And I went to the angel and said to him, 22:55 'Give me the little book.' 22:57 And he said to me, 'Take and eat it, 23:00 and it will make your stomach bitter, 23:02 but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.' 23:06 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it, 23:10 and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, 23:12 but when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter," 23:17 Revelation 10:9 and 10. 23:20 Descendants of people who lived here at the time 23:23 say that some Millerite believers gathered right here, 23:26 on what today is known as Ascension Rock, 23:29 and waited here for Jesus to come. 23:32 If that's true, their journey home that night 23:35 would have been very difficult. 23:39 Imagine believing that you were going to farewell 23:41 your friends and neighbors. 23:42 You'd never see them again, many of whom had ridiculed you 23:46 for believing that Jesus was gonna come back. 23:48 Now you'd have to face them. 23:50 They'd mock you again 23:51 because you are here on this earth at all. 23:55 Imagine believing that you are gonna go to heaven, 23:57 and then discovering that heaven would have to wait. 24:02 And of course, all of this begs some difficult questions. 24:08 So how could William Miller, a faithful Baptist preacher, 24:10 possibly get it so wrong? 24:13 After all, the Bible says that no one knows 24:15 the day or the hour of Jesus' return. 24:17 Well, it's good to remember that William Miller himself 24:20 never set a date, 24:21 but one of his followers did circle a day on the calendar. 24:26 Well, keep this in mind. 24:28 Even Jesus' followers sometimes made mistakes. 24:31 Jesus told them as plainly as he could that he was going to die, 24:34 and they just couldn't understand what he was saying. 24:37 When Jesus died, their hopes died with them. 24:41 But out of that brutal disappointment, 24:43 Jesus brought great things, 24:44 and he brought good things out of the Millerites' 24:47 disappointment too. 24:49 If Miller could be so wrong about something so basic, 24:52 didn't that make him a deceiver, a false Messiah? 24:57 Well, no, no more than the followers of Jesus 25:00 were false prophets. 25:02 Miller was just wrong about a key point. 25:07 Could Miller's error 25:08 have jeopardized the faith of his followers? 25:11 Well, that's possible, 25:12 but this is a reminder to us, that a person's faith 25:15 must be individual, personal, based on the Bible, 25:20 and not on the say-so of another human being. 25:22 God achieved some great things through William Miller. 25:26 Thousands of people were directed 25:28 to the study of the Bible, 25:29 in particular the Bible's teaching 25:32 about the second coming of Jesus. 25:33 The second coming was a neglected teaching 25:36 in Christianity, 25:37 and Miller shone a spotlight on the Bible's teaching 25:40 that Jesus was indeed soon to return to this earth. 25:44 Today, that teaching is widely believed. 25:46 Few in Christianity are not Adventists. 25:50 Most Christians today believe in the advent of Jesus, 25:53 and many believe it will happen soon. 25:56 For that, William Miller is largely to credit. 26:00 Revelation 10, which speaks of the bitter disappointment, 26:03 goes on to say, 26:05 "Thou must prophecy again before many peoples 26:09 and nations and tongues and kings," Revelation 10, verse 11. 26:14 And since Miller's time, 26:16 the church has been prophesying again. 26:20 The news has gone to the world that Jesus is coming back soon, 26:23 that everybody can be ready for that day 26:26 through faith in Jesus Christ, 26:28 and that the Bible is the rule of faith 26:31 and practice for all believers. 26:34 William Miller continued to preach, 26:36 he continued to believe, 26:37 and he continued to trust in God. 26:40 He died in 1849 at the age of 67, 26:44 and he's buried right here. 26:49 Soon the Protestant Reformation will be completed. 26:52 Soon the words of Jesus will be fulfilled, 26:54 those words spoken in Matthew 24, verse 14, when Jesus said, 26:58 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached 27:00 in all the world for a witness to all nations, 27:04 and then shall the end come." 27:06 ♪[Music]♪ 27:13 I'm John Bradshaw from It Is Written, 27:15 inviting you to join me for 500, 27:19 nine programs produced by It Is Written, 27:21 taking you deep into the Reformation. 27:24 This is the 500th anniversary 27:27 of the beginning of the Reformation, 27:28 when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses 27:31 to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. 27:34 We'll take you to Wittenberg and to Belgium, 27:36 to England, 27:37 to Ireland, 27:38 to Rome, 27:39 to the Vatican City, 27:40 and introduce you to the people who created the Reformation, 27:43 who pushed the Reformation forward. 27:45 We'll take you to sites all throughout Europe 27:47 where the Reformers lived and in some cases died. 27:50 We'll bring you back to the United States 27:52 and take you to a little farm in upstate New York, 27:55 and show you how God spread the Reformation here. 27:58 Don't miss 500. 28:00 You can own the 500 series on DVD. 28:03 Call us on 888-664-5573, 28:08 or visit us online at itiswritten.shop. 28:14 >>John: Lets pray together. 28:16 Our Father in Heaven, 28:16 we thank You in the name of Jesus. 28:18 That You've raised up men and women of faith 28:20 to inspire us, 28:22 to guide us, 28:23 to urge us forward. 28:25 We thank You that in spite of the failings of some, 28:28 in spite of their foibles or mistakes, 28:30 You still work. 28:32 We thanl You that You raised up William Miller 28:34 to call us to the great truth that Jesus is coming again soon. 28:40 Grant that we would be ready for that day through faith in Jesus. 28:44 Live Your life in us, fill us with Your Holy Spirit, 28:48 And let our lives be filled with the joy of knowing, 28:50 that one day soon, we will be with You forever. 28:55 We pray with John who wrote Revelation, 28:57 When he said, "Even so come Lord Jesus." 29:02 And we pray in Jesus' name, 29:05 Amen. 29:07 Thanks so much for joining me. 29:08 I'm looking forward to seeing you again next time. 29:10 Until then, remember, 29:12 "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, 29:17 but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" 29:21 ♪[Theme music]♪ |
