Last Generation Theology
Douglass was a key figure in the 1970s due to his advocacy of Last Generation Theology (LGT), a controversial theological position held by a segment of Seventh-day Adventists.
A key contribution by Douglass was his articulation of what came to be known as The Harvest Principle. Pointing to Mark 4:26-29 and Rev 14:14-16, Douglass argued that God is waiting for a ripe harvest, and as soon as that harvest "is fully ripe", He will thrust in His sickle and reap the earth - the Second Coming of Christ will at last come to pass.
