The Millerites were the followers of adventist preacher William Miller (1782—1849). The term Millerites was coined by detractors.
Today, when people hear the term Adventist, they might think of a certain denomination or group that has advent in its name (Advent Christian, Seventh-day Adventist, etc.), but at the time of William Miller, adventist simply meant “someone who emphasized the second advent (the return) of Jesus Christ in his preaching and teaching.” Miller was a New England farmer who was largely self-educated. Through his own study of the Bible, putting together clues from various passages, he came to believe in 1831 that the world would end (through the return of Christ) sometime around 1843. Miller published his beliefs in books and pamphlets and also began to hold tent meetings with hundreds in attendance. His followers also began to spread his message.
As 1843 drew near, word of Miller’s prophecies continued to spread, with more and more Americans and the press taking notice. When 1843 passed without incident, a new date, October 22, 1844, was set. One source estimates that as many one million Americans took Miller’s prophecies seriously, but some took them so seriously that they quit work and gave away their possessions. These are the people whom critics and the press dubbed “Millerites.” There are reports that some Millerites even donned white robes and went up to mountaintops to await the Lord’s return, but these reports are disputed and hard to substantiate.
When the predicted end did not take place in 1844, the Millerites disbanded in dismay, and the event became known as the “Great Disappointment.” Miller himself quietly withdrew from the public eye. While he still held that the Lord would return soon, he admitted that the chronology was uncertain. He died a few years later. The Millerites, leaderless now, splintered and formed other groups. The Advent Christian Church and the Seventh-day Adventists developed in the aftermath of Miller’s failed prophecies. There is even some evidence to suggest that Charles Taze Russell, the founder of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, was also influenced by Miller.
It is sad that people look for hidden messages and secret clues in the Bible instead of heeding the plain meaning of Scripture. The words of Jesus are clear: “No one knows the day or the hour” (Matthew 24:36). The words of Jesus notwithstanding, some Bible teachers who should know better continue to set dates for the return of Christ and lead followers astray; many, like the Millerites, make life-changing decisions based on the “prophetic” teaching. The gullible are inevitably disappointed as the “prophetic” date passes. The biblical attitude is to be ready for Christ to return at any moment, but to make plans for the future as if He will not return in our lifetime. Disengaging from the world to wait for Christ to return is a misapplication of the doctrine of Christ’s second coming.
MORE PROPAGANDA from CULT websites of copy and paste so called 'articles'???

LMBO! The SDA 'church' and JW 'church' came into being about the same time in the 1800's! There is ZERO LINK between them and the author is SLANDERING them both with false assumptions for an AGENDA! Why does it nor give the FACTS that the SDB 'church' (Seventh day Baptist) existed LONG BEFORE those two did, in the about 1600's! Sooooooo this damage to the false 'article' just lost credibility and is not telling that there were ALWAYS 'claimed' to be Seventh Day keepers! BUSTED tinydavid for your usual FALSE LEADING articles, YOU IDIOT!
READ MY LIPS, SHOW the failed prophecies in her own words and books, then show us how they did not come to pass in history books! You dug yourself this hole NOW GET TO WORK YOU LAZY copy and paste BUM and slanderer!
From what I read so far here on this forum, is so called 'Miller’s failed prophecies' are ONLY PARTIAL because they did not read the Bible correctly to see that the sanctuary that was to be cleansed was in heaven in the 1800's and NOT THE EARTH! Geesh! Lack of true information comments by article teachers that are NOT ON THIS FORUM participating, so tinydavid keeps pushing his slandering PRODUCTS (websites!) forbidden on this forum!
AGAIN THE SLANDERING ARTICLE accuses 'the Millerite movement" some how predicting CHRIST's 2nd coming when it FALSELY states, QUOTE - 'It is sad that people look for hidden messages and secret clues in the Bible instead of heeding >>>the plain meaning of Scripture. The words of Jesus are clear: “No one knows the day or the hour” (Matthew 24:36)."<<<
Day and hour of what you IDIOT tinydavid??? His second coming that NO ONE KNOWS WHEN which has NOTHING to do with the cleansing of the sanctuary in heaven BEFORE HE COMES that we MIGHT KNOW by Scripture??? Oh boy, what a slandering misleading article trying to claim now 'the Millerite movement' KNOWS WHEN Father YHWH returns at His second coming, also in the flesh but they are ONLY teaching about the cleansing of the sanctuary! GEESH!

Time to get back to your WORK you BUM of exposing EGW of being a false prophet or NOT!!! The ball is in your court, NOW participate with PROOF, for the first time, that you never have done!
Hell has become a controversial subject in recent years, even among Christians. However, the controversy is entirely man-made. The rejection of the reality of hell stems from a human inability to reconcile the love of God with eternal punishment or from an outright rejection of God’s Word. Even some professing Christians have come to unbiblical conclusions. Some have tried to redefine hell, create an intermediate state not found in Scripture, or deny hell altogether. In doing so, they are ignoring Jesus’ warning in Revelation 22:19, “If anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.”
Hell is mentioned 167 times in the Bible, sometimes called Gehenna, Hades, the pit, the Abyss, or everlasting punishment (Proverbs 7:27; Luke 8:31; 10:15; 2 Thessalonians 1:9). Jesus spoke of heaven and hell as real places (Matthew 13:41–42; 23:33; Mark 9:43–47; Luke 12:5). The story Jesus told about the rich man and Lazarus was an actual event that demonstrated the reality of the two eternal destinations (Luke 16:19–31). Heaven is the dwelling place of God (2 Chronicles 30:27) where Jesus has gone to “prepare a place” for those who love Him (John 14:2). Hell was created for “the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:41). But because every human being is a sinner, every person past the age of accountability has already been condemned to hell (Romans 3:10; 5:12; John 3:18). We all deserve hell as the just punishment for our rebellion against God (Romans 6:23).
Jesus was clear that “no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again” (John 3:3). He was also clear that hell is an eternal punishment for those who do not obey Him (Matthew 25:46). Second Thessalonians 1:8–9 says that in the end God “will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.” John the Baptist said about Jesus, “His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12).
John 3:18 explains in the simplest terms who will go to heaven and who will go to hell: “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” So, those who go to hell are specifically those who do not believe in Jesus’ name. To “believe” goes beyond a mental recognition of the truth. To believe in Christ for salvation requires a transfer of allegiance. We stop worshiping ourselves, we forsake our sin, and we begin to worship God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Matthew 22:36–37; Mark 12:30).
God desires that every person spend eternity with Him (Matthew 18:14; 2 Peter 3:9), but He honors our free will (John 4:14). Anyone who so desires can go to heaven (John 1:12). Jesus already paid the price for our salvation, but we must accept that gift and transfer ownership of our lives to Him (Luke 9:23). Heaven is perfect, and God cannot take anyone there who insists on holding on to his or her sin. We must allow Him to cleanse us of our sin and make us righteous in His sight (2 Corinthians 5:21). John 1:10–12 shows us the problem and the solution: “He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”
We can choose to trust in Jesus’ payment for our sin, or we can choose to pay for our sins ourselves—but we must remember that the payment for our sin is eternity in hell. C. S. Lewis said it this way: “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says in the end, ‘Thy will be done.’”
