Who were the Millerites and the Great Disappointment and does it matter?
William Miller (February 15, 1782 – December 20, 1849) was an American Baptist preacher who is credited with beginning the mid-19th century North American religious movement known as the Millerites. After his prophecies of the Second Coming did not occur as expected in the 1840s, new heirs of his message emerged, including the Advent Christians (1860) and the Seventh-day Adventists (1863). Later movements found inspiration in Miller’s emphasis on Bible prophecy and the Bahai faith believes his predictions of 1844 events to be accurate.
The Great Disappointment in the Millerite movement was the reaction that followed Baptist preacher William Miller’s proclamations that Jesus Christ would return to the Earth in 1844. Many followers had given away all of their possessions and were left bereft when their interpretation of prophecy could not be proved.
