The Real History Of The End Of The World (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
All who saw the light of the first and second angels’ messages and rejected that light, were left in darkness. —Ellen Gould White, founder of the Seventh-Day Adventists1 Of the many religious movements of the early nineteenth century, one of the most controversial was started by a solid farmer from upstate New York. The Millerites are of special note because of the passionate response of the public to them and because of the after-math to their “Great Disappointment” when the Second Coming did not appear as they expected. William Miller was born in Massachusetts on February 15, 1782, the son of a Revolutionary War captain. When he was four, the family moved to Washington County, New York, where he grew up.2 Miller’s early religious life was typical for the time. His family was Baptist, and his mother, Paulina, the daughter of a minister, encouraged him to read the Bible. In his memoirs, he states that he always felt the need for a personal connection with God, but he seemed ambivalent about religion in his youth, even considering himself a Deist.
