I am not sure how to answer that. I believe the particular history we are living has been prefigured by the Millerite history, that the end of Adventism is illustrated in the beginning of Adventism. We know at the beginning of Adventism in the Millerite time period the prophecies of Daniel were unsealed in 1798. When this unsealing was identified in Daniel 12, it identified an increase of knowledge. The Millerites didn’t simply understand a single prophetic truth. The prophetic message they understood grew as they progressed through that history. I believe that history is been repeated now in the history of the 144,000 and the Lord continues to open up prophetic truths to His people here at the end. The Lord is building a complete picture of end time events. As I looked to these prophetic truths we may have a hundred hours of DVDs; we may have produced that many on these subjects I don’t know. But I’ve never thought that we have come close to presenting everything that we are seeing. The Lord is opening up the Bible to His people at this time. There is more information than any human being can possibly share.
One of the things about the Millerite history from what we understand is that in 1843 – what Miller understood in 1843 is not the same as he understood in 1818, when he began to study. Those 25 years expanded his understanding. And for us here at the end of the world the same thing is happening. What I came to realize recently is there is a statement, where Sister White says: At the end of the world, people have to learn in a few weeks that which we have been years learning. I am realizing now, one of the reasons there is a volume of information on this subject, it is for the Seventh-day Adventists that are currently coming to understand this prophetic message. They can take the materials that have been developed over the past 15 years and learn it in a very short period of time, whereas for some of us it’s taken years to get to this understanding.
