Description

William Miller was a Baptistlay preacher who after years of lengthy biblical study predicted that the second coming of Jesus Christ would occur in 1843. His first predictions were printed in Evidence from Scripture and History of the Second Coming of Christ (1836).

Miller’s predictions created fervor, as followers varied between 30,000 and 100,000 from a variety of denominations. However, he also had strong critics, many of whom were clergy members from established churches.

He first predicted that Christ would return between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844, but after that time passed, he re-read the Bible and concluded that the correct date was October 22, 1844. When October 23rd passed, many of his followers had given up hope and left him.

Despite his failed predictions, his teachings influenced both Ellen Gould White and her husband, James Springer White, who would later found the Seventh-day Adventist Church
