As the hours draw near to what many believe as the rapture, I think back to my short time spent in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I worry and am skeptical to prematurely rejoice with others as I rememeber my study on Ellen G. White, a preacher, William Miller and their congregation, The Millerites that gave way to what we now call The Great Disappointment. Much like people now, Ellen also dove deep into her Bible, had people around her calculate to the specific day and the hour and claimed multiple times of God speaking directly to her though renounced the title of "prophetess" back in 1844. The Great Disappointment refers to the profound disillusionment experienced by thousands of Millerites, followers of Baptist preacher William Miller, when Jesus Christ did not return on October 22, 1844, as they had fervently anticipated. Miller, after years of biblical study focused on the books of Daniel and Revelation, concluded that the 2,300 days mentioned in Daniel 8 would end in 1844, marking the cleansing of the sanctuary and the Second Coming of Christ. He initially predicted the return for March 21, 1843, which passed without event, leading to the "first disappointment". After recalculating, he and his followers settled on October 22, 1844, based on the Day of Atonement in the Karaite Jewish calendar. On that day, many believers abandoned their possessions, quit their jobs, and gathered to await Christ's return, only to be left devastated when nothing happened. The emotional toll was severe, with accounts describing deep sorrow, weeping, and physical collapse from despair. Some followers abandoned their faith entirely, while others returned to their previous churches. The event became known as the "Great Disappointment" and marked a pivotal moment in American religious history. I can only pray for discernment and hope we call on Him to do the same.

One of the main goals of this group is to support and mentor new believers in Christ. While the bootcamp course, weekly calls, and other things I have planned will help, I wanted to create a space for them to ask questions and get answers as quickly as possible. This is that space!
