Adventists are rooted in one of the biggest prophecy scams ever. And we seem to embrace it. We even give it a nice name, The Great Disappointment. It was anything BUT. It was a great deception.
William Miller was not wrong once, but three times. He made three, yes, THREE, false predictions about the Second Coming. Why do we dwell on the third one? Because he tripled down on this on. He was deceived and deceived many. Thousands of people were hurt.
Miller was warned. Many times. Other Christian leaders around the world called him on this. He would not listen.
William Miller claimed he heard the voice of God, and it gave him this false prophecy.
He led people down the garden path, not to some great spiritual awakening.
We even go so far as to praise and complement the people that followed followed this false preaching, as if doing so was a sign of being a great Christian.
How silly.
Adventists need to distance themselves from such nonsense. And cal it what it was:
A Great Deception.
Sure, something good came out of it. The Seventh Day Adventist Church. But that does not in any way, shape, or form, make The Great Deception anything else.
Since we have embraced this "Great Disappointment," we live in a glass house of false prophecies. We had better not throw too many stones. After all, we embrace one of the biggest false prophecies in history of Christiandom.
Will you fall victim to another prophecy scam?
