William Miller Studies Scripture

Seated at his writing desk surrounded by books, a globe, and the tools of careful study, this portrait honors William Miller, the New England farmer whose diligent search of Daniel's prophecies sparked the Advent Awakening of the 1830s and 40s. His conviction that "the time is at hand" set in motion the movement that would give birth to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This digital download is a fitting piece for church history presentations, Sabbath School classes on Adventist heritage, or a sermon tracing the roots of the Great Controversy narrative back to one man's Bible study. Perfect for anniversary services, prophecy seminars referencing 1844, or a bulletin honoring Adventist pioneers. A quiet tribute to the power of one believer's careful, prayerful search of Scripture.
