The religious group known as the Millerites was founded by a Baptist preacher, Willian Miller. On the basis of a reading of the Book of Daniel, Miller preached that the the second coming of Christ would be in 1844. Another preacher, Samuel S. Snow said that the second coming would actually be on the 22nd October 1844. When the world continued as it always has, this prophecy became known as the Great Disappointment.
