Adventism
Second coming faith
Adventism is a branch of Protestant Christianity emphasizing the imminent Second Coming of Christ.
The movement emerged in 19th-century America from the teachings of William Miller, who predicted Christ's return in 1844.
When that date passed uneventfully, various Adventist denominations formed, the largest being Seventh-day Adventists, who observe Saturday as the Sabbath.
Adventists typically emphasize biblical prophecy, health-conscious living, and preparation for the end times.
