Seventh-day adventist or adventist is a
member of the Protestant religious sect of
the same name. It originated in the USA in
the fervent expectation of Christ's Second
Coming, or advent, that swept across New
York State following William Miller's
prophecy that Christ would return on the
22nd of Oct 1844. When this failed to come to
pass, a number of Millerites, as his
followers were called, reinterpreted his
prophetic speculations and continued to
maintain that the millennium was imminent.
