When the Date Fails
The Human Cost of a Broken Prophecy and the Faith That Was Built on Its Ruins

This 30-page historical and biblical study examines the human cost of October 22, 1844, the grief of those who believed the prediction, and the religious system that later developed from the Great Disappointment. It traces the Millerite movement, the morning after the failed date, Hiram Edson’s cornfield interpretation, the rise of Ellen White, the development of the investigative judgment, and the continuing effect of these teachings on Adventists today.

Christ alone redeems.
