History

Historical Context

The Great Disappointment on October 22, 1844, marked a pivotal moment for the Millerite movement, led by William Miller, who predicted Christ's return. When this did not occur, many followers faced disillusionment, leading to the formation of new sects, including the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This event illustrates the susceptibility of believers to charismatic leaders and the potential for financial exploitation within religious movements.
