History
Source: Wikipedia
 * Adventism is a branch of Protestant Christianity that originated in the 1830s in the United States during the Second Great Awakening. Baptist preacher, William Miller, first publicly shared his belief that the Second Coming would occur at some point between 1843 and 1844. His followers became known as Millerites. The Millerite movement split up and was continued by a number of groups known collectively as the Adventist movement.
 * In 2010, Adventism claimed some 22 million believers scattered in various independent churches. The largest church within the movement—-the Seventh-day Adventist Church-—had more than 19 million baptized members in 2015.
 * Other Adventist groups include:
