We wept, and wept, till the day dawn.' On the morning of October 23, Edson, who lived in Port Gibson, New York was passing through his grain field with a friend. It seemed that the loss of all earthly friends could have been no comparison. One of the Adventists, Hiram Edson (1806–1882) wrote 'Our fondest hopes and expectations were blasted, and such a spirit of weeping came over us as I never experienced before. This latter group developed into the Seventh-day Adventist Church. A few believed that the date was right but the event expected was wrong. Most ceased to believe in the imminent return of Jesus. Pre-denominational years, 1844–60 Edson and the Heavenly Sanctuary Īfter the disappointment of October 22 many of Miller's followers were left upset and disillusioned.

This event later became known as the Great Disappointment. On October 22 many of the believers were up late into the night watching, waiting for Christ to return and found themselves bitterly disappointed when both sunset and midnight passed with their expectations unfulfilled.

By 1844, over 100,000 people were anticipating what Miller had called the 'Blessed Hope'. They linked the cleansing of the sanctuary of Daniel 8:14 with the Jewish Day of Atonement, believed to be October 22 that year.

In the summer of 1844, some of Miller's followers promoted the date of October 22. A following gathered around Miller that included many from the Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian and Christian Connection churches. In 1831, a Baptist convert, William Miller, was asked by a Baptist to preach in their church and began to preach that the Second Advent of Jesus would occur somewhere between March 1843 and March 1844, based on his interpretation of Daniel 8:14. The Seventh-day Adventist Church formed out of the movement known today as the Millerites.
