William Miller
In the 1840's, William Miller, a student of prophetic time and a leader of a great religious awakening around the globe, believed the Lord was to return very soon. Together with Samuel Snow, they reckoned from Scripture and ancient Hebrew lunisolar calendation, that the prophetic 2300 evenings and mornings were symbolic of literal years. It was only with the lunisolar calendar that they were able to arrive at the year, month, and day of October 22, 1844. While he was wrong to believe that the second coming of Christ was to occur on that date, it turned out to have prophetic implications. The lunisolar calendar acts as a bridge of prophetic time, on the Heavenly Father's clock/ calendar. He clocked in on 457 B.C., A.D. 31, and October 22, 1844. Just as the lunisolar calendar was to be used in ancient Israel prior to the bridge of time, so too is it also to be used by modern Israel, following the bridge of time.
