![]() Of these children we read, “They ordinarily manifested only the intelligence and ability usually seen in children of that age. Since they were under-age, the law could not touch them, and they were permitted to speak. In the Scandinavian countries of Europe, when Advent preachers were arrested and put in[q prison for their prophetic teachings of Christ’s soon return, God raised up children, some as young as 6 years old, to sound the alarm. “I felt my power was in the Book, and that its might would sustain me” (The Great Controversy, p. kept the Bible open in my hand,” he said. Wherever he went, Wolff carried the Bible in Hebrew and English. he gave a powerful address on prophecy to the United States Congress. ![]() Wolff also traveled to the United States, where he spoke in New York City. are in possession of a book called Seera, which gives notice of the second coming of Christ and His reign in glory and they expect great events to take place in the year 1840” (The Great Controversy, p. Interestingly, he said, “The Arabs of Yemen. He went to Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Persia, India, and more. ![]() He traveled to countries in Africa and Asia. As he continued studying, he concluded that the coming of Jesus was very near–in fact he placed the time very close to the time pointed out by William Miller.įor 24 years, from 1821 to 1845, Wolff traveled extensively, sharing the message of Jesus’ soon return. Later as an adult, he studied the prophecies more deeply and discovered that not only did they point to Jesus as the promised Messiah, but also pointed to His Second Coming as a King and Deliverer. Wolff began preaching the Lord’s soon coming.Įven as a child, Wolff had been interested in Bible study, which led him to accept Jesus as his Savior. In 1821, just three years after Miller arrived at his conclusions, Dr. Wolff was of Jewish descent, and his father was a rabbi. In Europe and America people were led to study the prophecies, and there were groups of Christians in different lands who, by simply studying the Scriptures, arrived at the belief that Jesus was coming soon. Like the great Reformation of the sixteenth century, the Advent movement appeared in different countries at the same time. The message of salvation has been preached in all ages but this message is a part of the gospel which could be proclaimed only in the last days, for only then would it be true that the hour of judgment had come” (pp. It is declared to be a part of the ‘everlasting gospel ’ and it announces the opening of the judgment. As we read in The Great Controversy, “The message itself sheds light as to the time when this movement is to take place. Notice also that the message points to the hour of God’s judgment. This message is to be given with a loud voice by a worldwide movement. This worldwide proclamation should not be surprising as we read the first angel’s message of Revelation 14:6,7- “Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth-to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people-saying with a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.” While Miller may be the most well-known of the early Advent preachers, at about the same time there was a great religious awakening taking place in many parts of the world. In our journey through The Great Controversy, we have seen how a man named William Miller, who lived in the northeastern part of the United States, studied Bible prophecy and had come to the conclusion that judgment was near and Jesus was coming soon. ![]() Wilson, President, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Septem| Silver Spring, Maryland, United States | Ted N.C.
