| Summary: | The advent believers looked forward to the autumn of 1844 with unspeakable hope: Jesus was about to come! But at the stroke of midnight on October 22, 1844, their faith was shattered. They felt betrayed and alone. If only they had understood the magnificence of that day. For in heaven, the long-awaited time had come. The angels broke out in rapturous song at the glorious Jesus approaching the eternal Father, who placed final judgment in His Son's hands. Yet at that very moment, the advent believers were weeping with disappointment!Magnificent Disappointment is a landmark book that rejoices, not in the "disappointment," but in the glorious commencement of the final stages of our redemption. This book uncovers the misunderstandings about what really happened in heaven on that October day in 1844. The breathtaking view of Jesus approaching the Father to receive power and judgment will forever banish the shame and gloom we so often associate with this landmark date in Adventist history. This rediscovered truth will make a difference, not only in the way you await the sure return of Jesus, but in the way you live today. - Introduction.Part 1: Arriving at the Date.Best Man Available.How Miller Made His Mistake.How Do You Calculate 1844.Why October 22.Part 2: Discovering the Event.What Actually Happened in Heaven?.Investigative Judgment: A Seventh-day Adventist Invention?.Part 3: Exploring the Meaning.1844 and Being "Adventist".1844 and the Sabbath.1844 and Being Ready.Investigative Judgment: Good News or Bad News?.1844 and Worship.1844 and Being Like Jesus.1844 and Lifestyle.The Meaning of 1844 |
