THE ACHILLES' HEEL OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISM
by Russell Earl Kelly
The Investigative Judgment Doctrine is the cultic doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism which they cannot explain. Yet it
is the only reason for their existence. The Investigative Judgment (from their false explanation of Daniel 8:14)
is built on the SDA presupposition that their interpretation of Daniel 8:10-12 is correct. One problem for them is that
EGW did not discuss 8:10-13 and SDA theologians cannot connect their own explanation of 8:10-12 with the question
of 8:13 and their answer in 8:14.
Do you want to confuse the SDA Babylon? It is easy and will send them running from you. First, ask them to
explain 8:10-12. They will proudly tell you about the little horn's opposition to Christ in AD 31, the little horn's destruction
of paganism several centuries later, the little horn's imposition of the confessional during the Middle Ages
and the little horn's supremacy for 1260 years ending in 1798. Second, ask them to tell you which of the events in the
vision mentioned in 8:10-12 actually ended in 1844 according to their date from 8:14.
8:13 How long shall be the vision? How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled? When will the vision end? None
of their answers answer the question asked in 8:13 because all of their answers are wrong! The little horn did not stop persecuting
Christ or His saints in 1844; the little horn did not stop destroying paganism in 1844; the little horn did not expose
the errors of the confessional in 1844 (the Protestant Reformation claims this in the 16th century) and the events of
1798 did not occur in 1844. Worse yet, SDAs teach that their Investigative Judgment only BEGAN
in 1844. Therefore, no part of the vision of 8:10-12 ended in 1844 and the question of 8:13 is still unanswered in SDA
theology.
