Origin of Seventh Day Adventists

In 1844, as a result, an Intense study of the prohetic protions of scripture by earnest Chrsitians representing various religious groups, there arose a keen awareness that Christ our Heavenly High Priest upon completing His Investigative of the life records of all professed Christians would return in person to earth with his rewards. This spontaneous conviction of these unpopular views caused the sincerebelievers to be separated from their churches, as they persistently held to these beliefs. However, being drawn together this revival grew into a world movement encompassing all but 15 of the 205 countries and approximately 750 languages.
