The preface and first number in the 1843 edition of the Millennial Harp show an underlying tension between certainty expectation and uncertainty in waiting, a prevailing tension throughout the centuries among advent believers. Expectation of it Lord's return prompted their haste in publishing the Millennial Harp, yet His coming seemed long overdue. With wondering dismay y looked at their troubled world. Why hadn't He come already? EDITORS BOARD of EDITORS 5T N1P Looking toward the world's end Advent- Eri ists have not always given the attention to their history that it deserves. Yet his- tory is important, even for an apocalyptic group, for it contributes to self-identity. And even a cursory examination of Ronald L. Numbers Adventism's relatively short history re- veals that it is a rich and interesting one indeed. Beginning with this issue, Adventist Heritage seeks to nourish an interest in Adventist history. While we want to adhere to the highest standards of histori- cal scholarship, we also desire to appeal to the general reader. Our history is too important to be confined to Adventist his- torians alone. Gary G. Land The articles, pictures, and reviews in this issue illustrate something of what we• wish to achieve. Spanning in time from the early period of Adventism until well into the twentieth century, and covering both Seventh-day and other Adventist groups, they indicate the length and breadth of Adventist history. Our authors include professional historians and free- lance writers, Adventists and non- Adventists. Although the validity of history as a Jonathan M. Butler subject worthy of study is under attack generally, Adventist Heritage appears at a time when interest in Adventist history seems to be increasing.

In their loneliness few desired to speak, for they were still in the world, there had been no deliverance—their Lord had not come. Luther Boutelle, one of the minor Adventist lecturers, wrote: "The 22nd the Great of October passed, making unspeakably sad the faithful and longing ones; but causing the unbelieving and wicked to rejoice. All was still." No words could express Disappointment the true Adventist's feelings of disappointment. Only for those who experienced it could it have full meaning: "It was a humiliating thing, and we all felt it alike. All were silent, save to inquire, 'Where are we?' and To Albany and Beyond `What next?' " This was the Great Disappointment. The Millerites, following the lead of Samuel S. Snow, had fixed on October 22,1844, as the day of Christ's return. William David T. Arthur Miller, Joshua V. Himes, and others of the original leadership had been slow to accept this date but finally had been swept along in the ever mounting excitement. All hopes were fixed on that day. Thought for the future was unnecessary, as life's ultimate goal was soon to be attained.

  • The Truth About Seventh-Day Adventism Part 1
    Martin, The Truth About Seventh-Day Adventism, Part 1 The Truth About Seventh-Day Adventism 1 Walter R. Martin Part 1: Its Historical Development from Christian Roots Seventh-day Adventism, as a religious movement, sprang from the great second advent “awakening” which shook the religious world toward the middle of the nineteenth century. During this particular period of theological development, speculation relative to the second advent of Jesus Christ had been rampant on the continent of Europe, and it was not long before the European prophetic scheme of interpretation bridged the Atlantic and penetrated American theological circles. Based largely upon the books of Daniel and Revelation (both apocalyptic), advent theology became a topic of conversation discussed in newspapers as well as theological journals; in short, New Testament eschatological study suddenly competed with current stock market quotations for front-page space, and the “seventy weeks,” “twenty-three hundred days,” and “the abomination of desolation” (see Daniel 8-9) became common subjects of conversation. Following the chronology of Archbishop Ussher and interpreting the twenty-three hundred days of Daniel as literal years, many Bible students of various faiths concluded that Christ would come back near or about the year 1843. Of this studious number was one William Miller, a Baptist minister and resident of Low Hampton, New York, who arrived at the final date, October 22, 1844, as the time when Jesus Christ would return for His saints and usher in judgment upon sin, culminating in the establishment of the Kingdom of God upon earth. The great second advent movement, which was to sweep the United States particularly in the early 1840’s, stemmed from the activities of this William Miller, who confidently taught, beginning in the year 1818, that in “about” twenty-five years from that date, i.e.

  • Defending the 2520
    Defending the 2520 “The time is not far distant when the test will come to every soul. The mark of the beast will be urged upon us. Those who have step by step yielded to worldly demands and conformed to worldly customs will not find it a hard matter to yield to the powers that be, rather than subject themselves to derision, insult, threatened imprisonment, and death. The contest is between the commandments of God and the commandments of men. In this time the gold will be separated from the dross in the church. True godliness will be clearly distinguished from the appearance and tinsel of it. Many a star that we have admired for its brilliancy will then go out in darkness. Chaff like a cloud will be borne away on the wind, even from places where we see only floors of rich wheat. All who assume the ornaments of the sanctuary, but are not clothed with Christ's righteousness, will appear in the shame of their own nakedness.” Testimonies to the Church, vol. 5 page 81 The above warning should weigh heavily on our minds during these final hours we spend here on this earth. We are called over and over again, in the Bible and the inspired writings of Ellen G. White, to study the word of God for ourselves but sadly we live in a world of ease and entertainment and little time is devoted to personal study. “We are to receive the word of God as supreme authority. We must accept its truths for ourselves, as our own individual act.

  • The Origins of Millerite Separatism
    The Origins of Millerite Separatism By Andrew Taylor (BA in History, Aurora University and MA in History, University of Rhode Island) CHAPTER 1 HISTORIANS AND MILLERITE SEPARATISM ===================================== Early in 1841, Truman Hendryx moved to Bradford, Pennsylvania, where he quickly grew alienated from his local church. Upon settling down in his new home, Hendryx attended several services in his new community’s Baptist church. After only a handful of visits, though, he became convinced that the church did not believe in what he referred to as “Bible religion.” Its “impiety” led him to lament, “I sometimes almost feel to use the language [of] the Prophecy ‘Lord, they have killed thy prophets and digged [sic] down thine [sic] altars and I only am left alone and they seek my life.”’1 His opposition to the church left him isolated in his community, but his fear of “degeneracy in the churches and ministers” was greater than his loneliness. Self-righteously believing that his beliefs were the “Bible truth,” he resolved to remain apart from the Baptist church rather than attend and be corrupted by its “sinful” influence.2 The “sinful” church from which Hendryx separated himself was characteristic of mainstream antebellum evangelicalism. The tumultuous first decades of the nineteenth century had transformed the theological and institutional foundations of mainstream American Protestantism. During the colonial era, American Protestantism had been dominated by the Congregational, Presbyterian, and Anglican churches, which, for the most part, had remained committed to the theology of John Calvin. In Calvinism, God was envisioned as all-powerful, having predetermined both the course of history and the eternal destiny of all humans.

White Estate —Because “remembering” is es- sential to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the words and works of the Adventist pioneers need to be given prominence. We are pleased with the skillful, professional efforts put forth to accom- plish this by the Pioneer Library officers and staff. Through books, periodicals and CD-ROM, the messages of the pioneers are being heard, and their influence felt. We trust that the work of the Adventist Pioneer Library will increase and strengthen as earth’s final crisis approaches. C. Mervyn Maxwell, (former) Professor of Church History, SDA Theological Semi- nary —I certainly appreciate the remarkable contribution you are making to Adventist stud- ies, and I hope you are reaching a wide market.... Please do keep up the good work, and may God prosper you. James R. Nix, (former) Vice Director, Ellen G. White Estate —The service that you and the others associated with the Adventist Pioneer Library project are providing our church is incalculable To think about so many of the early publications of our pioneers being available on one small disc would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. I spent years collecting shelves full of books in the Heritage Room at Loma Linda University just to equal what is on this one CD-ROM.

  • Origin and History of Seventh-Day Adventists, Vol. 1
    Origin and History of Seventh-day Adventists FRONTISPIECE PAINTING BY HARRY ANDERSON © 1949, BY REVIEW AND HERALD As the disciples watched their Master slowly disappear into heaven, they were solemnly reminded of His promise to come again, and of His commission to herald this good news to all the world. Origin and History of Seventh-day Adventists VOLUME ONE by Arthur Whitefield Spalding REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. COPYRIGHT © 1961 BY THE REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. OFFSET IN THE U.S.A. AUTHOR'S FOREWORD TO FIRST EDITION THIS history, frankly, is written for "believers." The reader is assumed to have not only an interest but a communion. A writer on the history of any cause or group should have suffi- cient objectivity to relate his subject to its environment with- out distortion; but if he is to give life to it, he must be a con- frere. The general public, standing afar off, may desire more detachment in its author; but if it gets this, it gets it at the expense of vision, warmth, and life. There can be, indeed, no absolute objectivity in an expository historian. The painter and interpreter of any great movement must be in sympathy with the spirit and aim of that movement; it must be his cause. What he loses in equipoise he gains in momentum, and bal- ance is more a matter of drive than of teetering. This history of Seventh-day Adventists is written by one who is an Adventist, who believes in the message and mission of Adventists, and who would have everyone to be an Advent- ist.

  • A Canonical Reading of Hebrews 3:7-4:13" (David E. Garland)
    BOOKREVIEWS 28 1 Promise of Rest: A Canonical Reading of Hebrews 3:7-4:13" (David E. Garland). Dockery affirms a sound typological interpretation. Citing texts from John 5:39- 40 and John 5:46, he demonstrates how Jesus understood the OT as referring to himself and saw himself as the antitype of individuals like David, Solomon, Elijah, and others (162-163). While parts 1 and 2 are primarily concerned with methodological issues, part 3 (225-315) concentrates on practical ways of applying the OT to modern culture and the church. In "Preaching the Present Tense: Coming Alive to the Old Testament," Al Fasol focuses on the important homiletical issues involved in preaching the OT. He recommends that the theme text of the sermon be summarized with a brief, interpretive, past-tense statement. This sentence should reflect the Eternal Truth of the Text (E.T.T.). This is to be followed by a present-tense sentence of application which communicates the Truth for Today (T.T.). While Klein offers this suggestion with the intent of making the text applicable, it seems to be a reflection of Stendahl's much-debated dichotomy between "what it meant" and "what it meansn-a dichotomy that has been challenged in some recent discussions. The chapters on "Changing the Church with the Words of God" (C. Richard Wells); "Changing Culture with Words from Godn (James Emery White); and "Where Do We Go from Here?: Integrating the Old Testament into Your Ministry" (Kenneth S. Hempell) represent a clear attempt to relate the OT to church and society.
