Ellen Whites two thousand visions, revered by her twenty million disciples, were doctrinally inspired by William Miller, who fathered the largest millennial movement in US history. He and Samuel Snow, during the movements climax, the Midnight Cry, predicted Christs Second Coming for exactly October 22, 1844, on the basis of fifteen proof-texts. Ellen was twelve, suffering from severe brain trauma and the conviction that she was hell-bound, when Miller converted her. By sixteen she became convicted that she was having divine dreams and visions confirming Millers prophetic role and message. When Millers predictions failed and he repudiated his own predictions, Ellen announced that God had commanded her to endorse Millers failed Midnight Cry as divinely inspired, and her authority replaced Millers in the shut-door faction of ex-Millerites who evolved into the Seventh-day Adventist church. Miller claimed that his dogmas were the result of merely allowing the Bible to interpret itself and that his method was literal commonsense. White seconded this claim and said Gods angels routinely guided Millers interpretations. However, not only were his interpretations falsified, but examination reveals them to be farfetched allegorical treatments of parables. Nonetheless, Whites visions and SDA theology still retain many of Millers falsified predictions.Donald Edward Casebolt, who attended Seventh-day Adventist schools, including an MDiv Program at Andrews University, studied Semitic languages and Protestant theology one year at Karl Eberhard Universität Tübingen, Germany, and spent two years in a doctoral program at the University of Chicagos Oriental Institute.
