 The first event was an earthquake in Lisbon, Portugal on November 1, 1755. This event destroyed nearly all the important churches in the city, leading people to turn to the Bible for an explanation.

If you save this requirement for closer to the end of the Pathfinder year, then your Friends will have had a chance to sing the New Testament song dozens of times before they have to demonstrate their ability to do this.

-A fun way of having the kids find books quickly is to have a Bible Sword Drill.  This is a group activity to give the participant practice in locating the books of the Bible quickly. Ephesians 6:13-17 describes the Christian “armor” of which the Sword is the Word of God (verse 17).

-Another approach is to divide the Pathfinders into two teams.  Then have one Pathfinder at a time look up the verse (use a different verse for each Pathfinder) as you time them with a stopwatch (if you don't have a stopwatch, see if your cellphone does).  Record their individual times and add them to the team's time.  When everyone has had a turn, the team with the quickest time wins.

-The second event is known as "The Dark Day", and it occurred throughout New England, south to New Jersey in the United States on May 19, 1780.  The darkness was so complete that candles were required from noon on. It did not disperse until the middle of the next night.  For several days before the Dark Day, the sun as viewed from New England appeared to be red, and the sky appeared yellow. Also, when the night really came in, observers saw the moon colored red.  Again people turned to the scriptures for an explanation and found one in Matthew 24:29.

-The third event were the meteorite showers on November 13 & 25, 1833, fulfilling the portion of the prophecy which states that the stars will fall from the sky.  Though these were not really "stars" in the scientific sense, most people call meteorites "falling stars," so it does match in the linguistic sense.  The shower was so bright that it woke people from their slumber, and people were able to read by its light.  Many went outside to witness the event, again turning to Matthew 24 to understand its significance (which they found in Matthew 30 - these were signs of Jesus' soon return).

 ====William Miller called to preach==== <!--T:23-->
-William Miller had studied the Biblical prophecies found in Daniel and came to the conclusion that Jesus would return to Earth in the Autumn of 1843 (the date of October 22, 1844 was not set until later).  He kept his conclusion to himself for several years until the Lord impressed him to "Go and tell it to the world."  He resisted this impression, but was not able to rest.  In a final act of desperation, he told the Lord that if He would "open a way," then he would go.  He then felt the Lord asking him, "What do you mean by 'opening the way?'"  He answered the Lord that if he were invited to speak someplace, then he would go and tell them what he had found out about the Lord's soon coming.  At this he felt a great peace and was able to relax, thinking there was no way anyone was going to invite him anywhere to preach.

-Miller was incredibly distraught and fled to a grove on his farm without giving the boy an answer.  He was furious with himself for making his bargain with God, and was intent on not following through.  However, he changed his mind and accepted the invitation.  This was the beginning of William Miller's public ministry, and a seminal moment in the "Great Awakening."

In 1840 he published and edited the first Millerite newspaper, the '''Signs of the Times,'' in Boston.  Note that this is not the same magazine as today's ''Signs of the Times'' which was first published by James White in 1874.
