Miller's Rules Of Bible Interpretation

William Miller was a farmer in the early 1800s who gave his life to God and began intensely studying his Bible. He gained fame for his interpretation of biblical prophecies, particularly those in the Book of Daniel, leading to his prediction of the Second Coming of Christ in 1843. This belief sparked the Millerite movement, a significant religious phenomenon in 19th-century North America.

Ellen White has written positively about Miller in The Great Controversy and elsewhere. She heard him preach, and accepted his teachings, going through the disappointment at age 16. She believed that his preaching fulfilled the prophecies of Scripture, and saw him being guided by the Lord.
