The Great Second Advent Movement: Its Rise and Progress

The Message in Great Britain

In an English publication entitled The Millennium, it is stated that “seven hundred ministers of the Church of England were raising the cry of the return of the Redeemer.” Among some of the most talented ministers of the time were those who proclaimed the advent doctrine in England from 1840 to 1844. Of these we will mention the names of Bickersteth, Birks, Brooks, Brock, Habershon, Plyn, Fremantle, Nathan Lord, McNeil, Winters, Cummings, J. A. McCaul, D.D., Dr. Nisbett, Rev. A. Dallas, M.A. [in his book, Look to Jerusalem, page 114, he applies the parable of Matthew 24 to this generation], Burgess, Routon, Gunner, Barker, Bonham, Dealtry, etc. GSAM 103.3
