How the Millerites spread their views to the public

As a preacher and the leader of Millerites, William Miller studied the Bible very closely and became convinced that the time of Christ’s Second Coming was revealed in Bible prophecy.

The precise date of the Second Coming was never fully determined, however after October 22, 1844 passed without any incident , many followers gave up their beliefs. This date became known as the Millerites’ Great Disappointment. Despite all of this, William Miller believed until his death in 1849 that the Second Coming would arrive soon.

Through study of the Bible, Miller became convinced that Christ’s Second Coming would happen on or around the year 1843. He began openly lecturing in the year 1831, but Millerism did not become a national movement until 1840, with the help of publisher/pastor Joshua Vaughan Himes.

The aftermath of the Great Disappointment lead to two new sects of Christianity: the Advent Christian Church, and the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
