Truth or Hoax?

From God or a Blatant Cover up?

Historical Notes:

In 1844 the Seventh Day Adventists predicted the end of the world.  When it didn't come, they called it the Shut Door Prophecy.  Then Uriah Smith concluded something else.

i haven't written much about IJ b/c i studied it extensively before to a very exhausting level (driven by grief/sorrow/heartache/confusion/bewilderment)

so, gist: no return at 1844, so then Adventists said, "oh, oops, it wasn't the end times, it was actually Jesus starting to atone for our sins, based on Daniel 8:14" so they believe this wacky thing that Jesus waited 1844-33 years to start atoning for our sins. weird. i know.

well. the problem about discussing IJ is that it doesn't exist in the Bible at all. which is to be expected knowing the circumstance of the origin of its birth. anyway

if you look at Daniel, you'll see that it says morning and evenings, referring to actual days not years. morning and evenings referred to the sacrifices made at those times of day.

anyway, to shut down this doctrine all one has to do is read the verse in the passage. it says the little horn defiled the sanctuary, or the holy of holies. so basically upon Adventists belief of IJ this means they think that Jesus defiled the sanctuary because it was the little horn that defiled the sanctuary. this will make more sense to adventists. it makes little sense to me as it is

notable is Desmond Ford a former Adventist evangelist that spoke out against IJ, writing a 999 page dissertation on how it is not in the bible. well the GC defrocked him. they tried to contact scholars that could read Hebrew within their universities to prove IJ was valid and none of them could, or wanted to, substantiate it.

it's not in the bible so don't believe it. although the thing is that Adventist hold IJ as one of their 3 angels msg which i don't entirely grasp yet either. oh well. bottom line, unbiblical. here are som links about ij:

  what i don't understand and maybe adventists can explain this. if egw was a prophet from God why didn't she know that there were no End Timesin 1843 or 1844. God does not give His prophets lies, He gives them truth.

also if Sabbath is so important then why did God wait until 1846 to tell his people (Christians) to start obeying it? doesn't seem like the way God operates.
