Today's
destructive cults and movements are much like those in
history. Like most, they have not learned anything from our
past.
William Miller
founded Millerism. Miller, a farmer from New York, claimed
to have discovered when Jesus Christ would return to Earth
as stated in the Bible.
Also a Baptist
preacher, he taught that a great trumpet from heaven would
sound, Jesus Christ would gather up the faithful, and the
wicked would be immediately destroyed by fire. As many as
100,000 followers gathered, many of those here in Summit
County, for Judgment Day, April 4, 1843.
