Dear Jeff,
What evidence is there that Miller received his credentials in 1833?
I’ve heard you state that many times but never caught the reference. I have been invited to share Luke 21 again before a small group tonight and just wanted to nail that down. Thanks. WS https://ed-danmark.com/koeb-…ra-online/.

Dear WS,
“In 1833 Miller received a license to preach, from the Baptist Church, of which he was a member. A large number of the ministers of his denomination also approved his work, and it was with their formal sanction that he continued his labors. He traveled and preached unceasingly, though his personal labors were confined principally to the New England and Middle States. For several years his expenses were met wholly from his own private purse, and he never afterward received enough to meet the expense of travel to the places where he was invited. Thus his public labors, so far from being a pecuniary benefit, were a heavy tax upon his property, which gradually diminished during this period of his life. He was the father of a large family, but as they were all frugal and industrious, his farm sufficed for their maintenance as well as his own.” The Great Controversy, 332. Jeff.
