SDA News - Someone at CNN Hates Adventists

"CNN—In an article titled How QAnon uses Religion to Lure Unsuspecting Christians, Daniel Burke, CNN Religion Editor, calls out QAnon as a conspiratorial right-wing group.
 
In the article, he finds a way to implicate John MacArthur (a conservative Protestant preacher in California) under the premise that when MacArthur questioned the CDC party line on the CV-19 pandemic he was adopting a ‘Q’ conspiratorial mindset

 Closer to home, the author compares the QAnon group to the Millerite movement, taking an unanticipated stab at the SDA Church in the process.“Under somewhat similar strains, a group of 1840s Baptists called the Millerites predicted the Second Coming of Jesus. When Jesus didn't arrive, the Millerites were greatly disappointed, but they adjusted their apocalyptic timetables and soldiered on, eventually becoming the Seventh Day Adventist Church.
 
QAnon conspiracy theory alleges that there is a battle between good and evil in which the President (Mr. Trump) is allied with the former. QAnon followers are awaiting two major events: the Storm and the Great Awakening
The Storm is the mass arrest of people in high-power positions who will face a long-awaited reckoning. 
The Great Awakening involves a single event in which everyone will attain the epiphany that QAnon theory was accurate the whole time. This realization will allow society to enter an age of greater awareness and freedom.
 
Followers believe that “Q” is a high-ranking government insider, presumably with a military or intelligence background, committed to exposing the hidden truth of what they see as an international bureaucracy scheming against Mr. Trump and his supporters. 
Some followers believe that “Q” often sends coded signals about his or her existence, using the number 17—the letter Q’s placement in the alphabet. 
 
Online posts surrounding QAnon conspiracy theories have often described “Q” as a patriot or saint.
 
So who is Q?  
Q is, well, anon. Nobody knows who they (he or she) is/are, or why they are posting what they do. They are, among other things, a user on 4chan. They use that forum to post a whole load of cryptic messages, which make reference to the vast conspiracy theory that has become known as QAnon.
 
---So why compare this group to the Millerite Movement, and why implicate John MacArthur in the article when neither of them have anything to do with QAnon?
---Answer: It’s simple. To embarrass them."
