It is the belief that Jesus had finished the atonement in the heavenly sanctuary on or by the “10th day of the 7th month” in 1844, and no more persons would/could be reconciled to God.

. Samuel Snow was the champion promoter of this view during the first half of 1845. James White believed this and John Pearson embraced it too.

It is the view that Jesus had begun an extended final atonement ministry in October 1844. O.R.L. Crosier led the way and published it in the March 1845 issue of the “Day-Dawn.” At approximately the same time, three seemingly independent views were also presented as to place that extended atonement ministry as taking place in the Most Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary. Crosier in the Day-Dawn, Emily Clemon publishing “Hope Within the Veil” in summer 1845 and from Ellen Harmon’s February 1845 Bridegroom vision. Ellen Harmon suggested an extended atonement ministry of Jesus in the Most Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary.

 Similarities/ differences between Charles Finney and William Miller on premillennialism

Miller’s Premillennialism meant Jesus had to come and then we will have the millenium with him at heaven. a millennium of rest (fulfilling the believe that we have spent 6000 years on earth, like 6 days on the creation, therefore the 7th day or the 7th millennium, had to be with God). In that view, Jesus comes before the millennium.

Charles Finney was post-millennium. he looked for a millennium of peace before a literal second coming.  So, they were not revival preachers but reformer preachers. The world had to reach an state of peace in order to see Christ’ second coming.

William Miller’s views on the 1st and 2nd resurrection of the righteous/wicked

He presented the great prophetic periods of Daniel and Revelation as leading down to about 1843, the seven last plagues, close of probation or shut door, a literal Second Coming of Jesus with the righteous saved and the wicked destroyed with the world by fire, a first resurrection of the righteous before the millennium, a 1000 year immortal reign on a purified earth, a second resurrection of the wicked, a final battle and judgment, and then the lake of fire.

This second awakening has three phases

1. Lyman Beecher led a student revival

2. Western Camp meeting methodists and Baptists took it over.

3. Charles Finney brought the camp meeting to town and established a revival formula widely practiced in various churches. 

Miller followed Finney's Method of revival though different beliefs about the millenium.

1. Finney was a post- millenialist- believe the millenium would bring peace the revivals lead up to it

2. Miller was a pre-millenialist - believe the millenium would come after the destruction of the earth and bring a new heaven and a new earth leads to a thousand years of peace.
