Ok...sorry I couldnt get this posted before going to bed...I nearly passed out at my keyboard again. Anyway...This is about 150 hours of work...and it is not finished.
I cannot emphasize that enough.
Certain facts have to be checked, information still has to be inserted as I have other compilations of the same work here with info yet to be inserted.
This version is the version I created the format.
The skeletal structure of this is complete enough that you should be able to navigate the document to effectively see the conclusions I am drawing, and start pointing you towards the emphasis of the thesis of the study that During certain years which coincided with signifigant years in the heirarchy of the DBDSDA a cluster of similiar events were going on in the world...both acts of God and nature...the products of the Divine and the folly of man.
Illustrating I believe a pattern in which the world keeps repeating a cycle of violence, (the one clearly stated reason in Genesis for which God cited for destroying the world with the flood) and a pattern of events showing themselves to occur during the apex of such times...illustrating that hand of God, his patience as he keeps sending his messengers in these times hence the hierarchy of the DBDSDA is seen clearly in this pattern of events, as certain events nearly if not without fail happen with each one of the Leaders in the Movement all the way back to William Miller.
The introduction to the thread in this forum "Enter into Rest:Seventh Angel" was composed using this study. The Tuesday years...just one of many points for the final draft. There are other studies based upon this outline which later become obvious once all the studies are edited into one another.
For instance, with every single leader of the DBDSDA a US Riot has occurred during the Years which the DBDSDA leader came to be publicly recognized as Coming to the message. Other events seem to cluster as the leader has embraced the message and begins to carry it forward...in each timeframe the US was involved in armed conflict with. With the rise of Each leader in the DBSDA is a president in office in the US who died or Faced Death in office...or whose administration was cut short...4 of which faced assassination...Licoln, the civil war began in 1860-61, Ellen Whites writings began to be publicly distributed in 1861 through her Husbands influence. The civil war ended in 1865...the General Conference of the Seventh Day Adventists was established in 1865.
The Millerite Movement went Mainstream in the 1840s as according to Richard L. Rogers the message went from an...
“obscure, regional movement into a national campaign.”
William Harrison Died of Natural Causes, Pneumonia, Pluerisy after only one month of office between March 4th, to April 4th 1841. He was the oldest President EVER to take office, and held that record for 140 years until...1981 when Reagan took Office...hmmm I don't guess that year would mean anything to the critics of the DBDSDA.
William Miller,Joshua Himes.
1849...William Miller Dies. The Message splits...the Sabbaterians under Joesheph Bates, Hiram Edson, and James and Ellen White carry the message forward. Hiram Edson reports having a vision on Oct 23, 1844 and lays hands on his neigbor that night...his neigbor was reported to have been healed...immediately rising out of bed and praising God. Joeseph Bates Emerges as the Leader of Influence being called..."The Sabbath Apostle."
Zachary Taylor took office as U.S. President on March 4, 1849 and Died on July 9, 1850 from Gastroenteritis. 1850...the year Hiram Edson sold his first farm to support the Sabbaterian Adventists Movement having been visited by James White and Joeseph Bates, both White and Edson were converted to the Observance of Sabbath by the Spirit of God through the his messengers Hiram Edson and Joesheph Bates.
Of Course we mentioned Licoln who Died one month into his Second term on April 15,1865. The year the SDA officially held it's first conference,
James White.
August 6...1881 James White Dies.
March 4th 1881 to Sep 19, 1881
President James Garfield...Assainated.
E.J. Wagoneer and A.T. Jones.
1882 E.J. Wagoneer has an "incredible" experience, quits is job as a Doctor and takes over as editor of Signs of the Times in 1883 (position formerly held by James White) This would be the year the message continues and ultimately would be rejected in 1888. Ellen White would be "exhiled" to a remote missionary post in Australia in effort to silence her influence and support for the message of Jones and Wagoneer.
March 4th 1897 to September 14th, 1901
William Mckinnley shot twice on September 5th, Dies of on Setptember 14th.
Ellen White.
In 1897, Ellen White once again gains widespread public support, addresses SDA on Education and "Priamary Schools" reform.
1901 Ellen White returns to America.
