Exposing Adventism - Date setting the second coming for 1844

In trying to explain away why Christ didn't come in 1843, Ellen White came up with this creative excuse. Just blame God, and say that it happened "in heaven" on October 22, 1844.

The Lord showed me that … His hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures, so that none could see it, until his hand was removed. (Review and Herald, Nov 1, 1850)

I saw the people of God, joyful in expectation, looking for their Lord. But God designed to prove them. His hand covered a mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods. Those who were looking for their Lord did not discover it… God designed that his people should meet with a disappointment. (Spiritual Gifts, p 137)
