I prefer the original false prophecy charts that Russell would have used to learn his dates. He updated a bit and then tied it to the pyramid. Not a bad attempt to give more proof. Too bad none of it happened anyway. I do wonder though why God did not give the FDS Russell the original plans for a chart? Seems like a few beat him to it. Maybe they are FDS too?
Too bad Lil; right off you can spot an error on this Chart. It says the 69th week ended at the cross. That is wrong, the 69th week ended 3 and 1/2 years before the cross. Messiah was cut off in the middle of the 70th week.
And Russell never connected the Pyramid to the Chart of the Ages in any fashion. He made the Chart long before he learned of the measurements of the Pyramid. Please LIL try to get things straight.
The tenth chapter of the Revelation is about Miller, he took his wall charts into churches and preached over all of the NE United States. He made an error of three years in his calculcation of the 2300 days. Should have started in 454BC. But he started in 457BC and wound up in 1843. Then he made some errors about what the date meant. He decided it was the date of ur Lord's Return to earth; and that the earth was to be cleansed.
It should have been 454BC - 2300 years = 1846AD. The time was not for the Lord's return. It was a date for(the sanctuary) a class of people to be cleansed of the errors of Papacy. But thru his errors Miller drew attention to and interest in the Lord's second advent. There had to be wheat here for the Lord to find when he arrived in 1874. The Bible had been turned loose in 1799 by the King of England. (Rev. 9:14) There were over two hundred million Bibles distributed by 1874. (Rev. 9:16) These were the 200 million horsemen (Bible students in the 19th Century)..
Many people have been disappointed by expectations that failed. The Second and the Seventh Day Adventists groups were the result of Miller's disappointment.
The result of Russell's disappointment have been many groups; the JW's among the largest body. Don't let bitterness ruin your life. Check up on the things you were taught and get them straight in your mind.
