William Miller Was Vindicated by the Sanctuary Event
SundayLaw.com sanctuary study · Read William Miller’s life and dream
The disappointment did not overthrow the prophetic time. It exposed the mistaken assumption about the event. October 22, 1844 did not mark Christ returning to the earth; it marked the opening of the door into the Most Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary, where the people of God must follow Jesus by faith.
The 1843 chart carried the first great proclamation. The 1850 chart preserved and clarified the advancing light after the disappointment. Together they point forward to the sanctuary, the judgment, the royal perpetual law of the kingdom of God, and the marriage of the Lamb to His commandment-keeping people.
In that light, Brother Miller’s Dream becomes more than a historical curiosity. The jewels are gathered again into the truth, set in the foundation of the New Jerusalem, and the people who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus are called to shine as the bride of Christ.
