The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, vol. 4

IV. Rector College President Also Looks to 1843-1847

Then there was CHARLES WHEELER,” ²⁴ Baptist educator and classmate of Adoniram Judson. He was a good scholar, a capable teacher and administrator, and an inspiring preacher. A pre-millenarian, according to contemporary journals, he wrote a treatise in 1823 maintaining the position that the 2300 years to the cleansing of the sanctuary would expire around 1843, or 1844. His printed work has not thus far been located. But since practically all similar citations have been found as set forth, there is little reason to doubt the accuracy of this statement. Thus another educator is added to the supporters of this widespread view. PFF4 375.2
