21 ottob 1844 anni - Second Great Awakening: Millennialism

Descrizione:

The religious enthusiasm of the time was based on the widespread belief that the world was going to end with the second coming of Jesus. One preacher, William Miller, gained thousands of followers by predicting a specific date that for the second coming (October 21, 1844). Even though nothing happened on this day, the Millerites continued as a new Christian denomination, the Seventh-Day Adventists.
