You see them on youtube. You see them on the Hope Channel. You see them on 3ABN. Yes, they show up everywhere, including your local church.
Why? Why do Adventists relish falsehoods?
Maybe it's in our DNA....after all, we came out of a false prophet. Any way you slice it, Miller was a false prophet.
We won't name names, but the continuing onslaught of predictions of this, and a prophecy of that, just seem to flow forth in present day.
Maybe it's the evil of the internet. Maybe people are just not as smart as before.
Any time you hear anyone say something that you know is NOT Biblically correct, tune them out and turn them off.
Like it or not, our founding members did not have everything right. They debated lots of things. They changed on many points. They even told us to be searching, always, for more light. More truth.
But not from snake oil salesmen who peddle nonsense.
Wake up. Read. Watch what is happening in the world. If you have your head stuck in 3ABN all day and night, you will be a mess. You will hear things that are just not true.
Adventists need to wake up and smell the coffee...and pork. Get a grip on reality.
Remember that these false prophets always have a way out. They will say that God changed, or we did not do what we were supposed to do, or other such rot. As if we, as mere humans, can simply get God to do (or not do) anything. If only we had that power.
William Miller and his followers found this out the hard way. Miller never recovered and led many to give up their faith.
So false prophets will come, false prophets will go. What remains is, what will you do? Will you actually read The Bible? Will you look around you and see if things shape up the way they say?
And the last thing, is that false prophets keep coming. Some just go on deceiving more people, even after they fail.
Don't fall for it. 1844 is not a disappointment. It's a deception. A great deception.
Pray there will never be another great deception again.
ReplyDeleteMiller was not a false prophet.
