ABSTRACT THE HISTORY OF THE ADVENTIST INTERPRETATION OF THE “DAILY” IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL FROM 1831 TO 2008 by Denis Kaiser Adviser: Denis Fortin ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Thesis Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: THE HISTORY OF THE ADVENTIST INTERPRETATION OF THE “DAILY” IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL FROM 1831 TO 2008 Name of the researcher: Denis Kaiser Name and degree of faculty adviser: Denis Fortin, Ph.D. Date completed: July 2009 During the more than 160 years since Adventism’s inception, the interpretation of the WƗPîd or “daily” in the book of Daniel underwent several changes with respect to the identification of the term itself, the employed methodology, and the style of argumentation, as well as the way differing views are handled. This study analyzes various Millerite and Adventist interpretations of the WƗPîd in Dan 8 between 1831 and 2008, focusing especially on the approach to the biblical text, the argumentation, and the atmosphere during the time of conflict (1900 – 1930), as well as on Ellen White’s counsels during that period, her puzzling statement, and possible explanations. This documentary study was based primarily on published primary sources produced by Millerites and Seventh-day Adventists from 1831 to 2008. Both primary and secondary sources were used to provide background, historical context, and perspective for the present study. While Seventh-day Adventists first adhered to the Millerite interpretation of the “daily” as Roman paganism, beginning around the turn of the nineteenth century they identified it as Christ’s heavenly ministration. The proponents of the Millerite interpretation eventually relied more on tradition and their understanding of a statement on the “daily” written by Ellen White in 1850. The proponents of the new interpretation drew their reasons rather from exegetical studies. This change did not happen without controversy, and both groups were responsible for the intensity of the conflict. Ellen White’s statement referred to the prophetic dates and the supplying of the word “sacrifice” in the text of Dan 8 rather than to a specific identification of the “daily.” Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary THE HISTORY OF THE ADVENTIST INTERPRETATION OF THE “DAILY” IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL FROM 1831 TO 2008 A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Denis Kaiser July 2009 © Copyright by Denis Kaiser 2009 All Rights Reserved THE HISTORY OF THE ADVENTIST INTERPRETATION OF THE “DAILY” IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL FROM 1831 TO 2008 A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts by Denis Kaiser APPROVAL BY THE COMMITTEE: __________________________________ Denis Fortin, Ph.D., Adviser __________________________________ Merlin D.

Though it is God who changes people, the early Adventists employed specific spiritual practices to place themselves in His presence. Research revealed five main spiritual disciplines that shaped the Advent leaders and by extension the church. The first is Bible study: placing the Holy Scriptures as the foundation for all beliefs. The second is prayer: communication and communion with God.

  • Exposing the Skeleton in the SDA Closet of 1888
    1 Exposing the Skeleton in the S.D.A. Closet of 1888 Unsealing the Mystery of the 1888 General Conference Meetings in Minneapolis Part 1 By Norman Bradley his article may be difficult to understand if you were not raised a Seventh-day Adventist; however, it is full of very important information. There has always been T a mystery as to what really happened at the 1888 Minneapolis General Conference meeting that created such an upheaval to the Seventh-day Adventist church. Many books and articles have been written about it over the past 120 years. This article has a lot of negative things to be charged against past leaders of our church. A few guilty names will be exposed. More recent leaders have perpetuated this wrong teaching unknowingly. Unless they have researched the Archives, and the 1888 Materials by Ellen White, and the original Jones‘ and Waggoner‘s writings, [not just the censored ones], they might not otherwise know what this article reveals. 1 2 I‘m sure most Seventh-day Adventist leaders today are honest God-fearing men and if they stay true to their calling, then they will help to correct this erroneous teaching that still prevails in our church today. This wrong teaching that started long before 1888, but certainly erupted at that time, is very likely keeping the Latter Rain from falling on God‘s people today. It can and will be corrected, God will make sure of that. And the Devil will make war against it, as he always does when truth is brought to the light.

  • Ron Numbers Collection-- the Creationists
    Register of the Ron Numbers Collection-- The Creationists Collection 178 Center for Adventist Research James White Library Andrews University Berrien Springs, Michigan 49104-1400 1992, revised 2007 Ron Numbers Collection--The Creationists (Collection 178) Scope and Content This collection contains the records used as resource material for the production of Dr. Numbers' book, The Creationists, published in 1992. This book documents the development of the creationist movement in the face of the growing tide of evolution. The bulk of the collection dates from the 20th century and covers most of the prominent, individual creationists and pro-creation groups of the late 19th and 20th century primarily in the United States, and secondarily, those in England, Australia, and Canada. Among the types of records included are photocopies of articles and other publications, theses, interview tapes and transcripts, and official publications of various denominations. One of the more valuable contributions of this collection is the large quantity of correspondence of prominent individuals. These records are all photocopies. A large section contains documentation related to Seventh-day Adventist creationists. Adventists were some of the leading figures in the creationist movement, and foremost among this group is George McCready Price. The Adventist Heritage Center holds a Price collection. The Numbers collection contributes additional correspondence and other documentation related to Price. Arrangement Ron Numbers organized this collection for the purpose of preparing his book manuscript, though the book itself is not organized in this way. Dr. Numbers suggested his original arrangement be retained. While the collection is arranged in its original order, the outline that follows may be of help to some researchers.

  • Seventh-Day Adventism, Doctrinal Statements, and Unity
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 27/1-2 (2016): 98-116. Article copyright © 2016 by Michael W. Campbell. Seventh-day Adventism, Doctrinal Statements, and Unity Michael W. Campbell Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies Cavite, Philippines 1. Introduction “All Christians engage in confessional synthesis,” wrote theologian Carl R. Trueman.1 Some religious groups adhere to a public confession of faith as subject to public scrutiny whereas others are immune to such scrutiny. Early Seventh-day Adventists, with strong ties to the Christian Connexion, feared lest the creation of a statement of beliefs so that some at some point may disagree with that statement may at some point be excluded.2 Another danger was that statements of belief might be used to present making new discoveries from Scripture, or afterward a new truth might be stifled by appealing to the authority of an already established creed. From the perspective of early Sabbatarian Adventists, some remembered the time when during the Millerite revival that statements of belief were used to exclude them from church fellowship.3 These fears were aptly expressed during the earliest organizational developments in 1861 of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. According to denominational co-founder, James White: “making a creed is setting the stakes, and barring up the way to all future advancement. The Bible is 1 Carl R.
