William Miller is perhaps the most famous false prophet in history.
In the 1840s he began to preach about the world's end, saying Jesus Christ would return for the long-awaited Second Coming and that Earth would be engulfed in fire sometime between March 21, 1843, and March 21, 1844.
He circulated his message in public gatherings and by using the technologies of the day — posters, printed newsletters and charts.
Moved by those messages, as many as 100,000 "Millerites" sold their belongings between 1840 and 1844 and took to the mountains to wait for the end. When that end didn't come, Miller changed the date to Oct. 22. When Oct. 23 rolled around, his loyal followers explained it away yet again and went on to form the Seventh-day Adventist movement.
Was that before or after Miller toured with Stillwater?
“One thing the man made climate hoaxers and Christians have in common is the imminent doomsday crap.”
I have often thought the climate hoaxers adapted their strategy from the endtime delusion — the mistaken idea that God intended for Christians to live under the cloud of impending doom for two thousand years and counting.
I John 2:18 - “these are the end times...” He was referring to his time only.
With climate hoaxers it's an excuse for move govt control and grift. With Christians I don't know the motivation, but it's never to use govt to limit my freedoms.
Some Christians misinterpret the Bible somewhat intensely.
