Lecture Assessment:

1. What is scattering time? Explain.

Scattering time was the era during which the disgruntled Millerites grieved,
drove, and dispersed all over the place. Many believers have lost faith, and
there are many messages that some refuse to believe. Joseph Bates did not
believe Ellen Harmon could see the vision, and Ellen does not feel the Sabbath
is as sacred as Joseph Bates claimed.

The Adventists were not yet known as Adventists at this time. They are not
affiliated with any formal organization. They were "misguided souls," as they
put it. Been searching for an explanation as to why The Great Disappointment
occurred. They continued to share what they had learnt, and it was up to that
individual to decide whether or not to accept and trust the message they were
receiving. If only they will accept God's invitation. They still didn't have the
same level of belief among themselves.

2. What is gathering time? Explain

Gathering time was when they understood they needed to keep going and
proclaim the gospel of the Lord. The gathering time has arrived, according to
Joseph White, and the sheep are beginning to hear the true Shepherd's
cheering voice. The word will be delivered, the sheep will be brought into the
present truth, and the breach will be repaired. All of the earth's and hell's
powers combined are powerless to hinder God's work.

The shut-door concept continued to be transformed during the gathering

period, owing to the influence of missionary progress and advances in the
understanding of Christ's sanctuary ministry. This was the point at which they
decided to form a formal organization. They made the decision to join their
ideas and spread the message to the "misguided souls."
3. What are the 5 pillars doctrines of the Sabbatarian Adventists? (You need to
remember this)
• The Second coming of Jesus
• The two phase ministry of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary
• The conditional immortality of the soul
• The Sabbath
• The validity of prophecy manifested in the church through the visions of
Ellen G. White

4. What is Sabbath conference? Why Sabbath conference is so important?

Between April 1848 and December 1850, a series of over twenty Sabbath
conferences were held, with most of them taking place over long weekends in
New York, New England, and Canada East. Joseph Bates, Hiram Edson, James,
and Ellen White are the conference's leaders. The participants' activities
included prayer for direction and understanding, rigorous, diligent, thorough
Bible study, sincere conversation, and fasting, which went on virtually nonstop
and sometimes all night.

The Sabbath conference is crucial because the leaders are studying the Bible in
order to correct mistakes in their views and to confirm hope in order to keep
the group together. The careful study of God's Word created the theological
foundation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and when the pioneers
couldn't make headway, Ellen White was given light that helped to clarify their
difficulties and opened the path for the study to proceed. Correct conclusions
were also stamped with God's approval in the visions. As a result, the prophetic
gift served as both a corrector and a confirmer of truth.

5. What is the purpose of Advent Review?

The General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists publishes it monthly since
1849. Adventist Review has a sibling publication, Adventist World, as well as
the youth-oriented KidsView. The publication's editorial headquarters are
located in Silver Spring, Maryland, at the General Conference of Seventh-day
Adventists.
The goal of Advent Review was to show the Millerites that this book was not
founded on new evidence, but that it was still a part of them. They sought to
demonstrate that they were not odd people, but that they were all Millerites.
They were not individuals "who had abandoned the original religion,"
according to this text.
