The Seventh Day Adventist movement was started by
William Miller who won over 50,000 converts by his
claiming that Jesus was going to return to this
earth on October 21, 1843.
When this prophesy failed, Miller declared he had miscalculated
and he then reset the date to October 21, 1844 which
also passed without incident, so most of his followers
disbanded to form new groups of their own.
One of these groups formed the Seventh Day Adventist Church
which name was decided on in 1860. Much of the Seventh Day Adventist doctrine comes from Ellen G.
White and her "prophetic utterances".
They worship on the seventh day of the week and believe
that Jesus will come soon and establish His earthly kingdom
and rule in Jerusalem 1,000 years.
They teach that salvation is by “faith only”.
Their Seventh Day Adventist “Questions on Doctrine”
(p 102) says, “that which saves is grace alone,
through faith in the living Christ”. And this document also says, ”
When we accept Him we are justified” (p 387).
But the Bible says, “You see then that a man is justified by works,
and not by faith only” (James 2:24).

The millennium is the thousand-year reign of Christ with His saints in heavenbetween the first and second resurrections. During this time the wicked dead will bejudged; the earth will be utterly desolate, without living human inhabitants, but occupiedby Satan and his angels.
At its close Christ with His saints and the Holy City willdescend from heaven to earth. The unrighteous dead will then be resurrected, and withSatan and his angels will surround the city; but fire from God will consume them andcleanse the earth. The universe will thus be freed of sin and sinners forever.

For here God Himself will dwell with His people, and suffering and deathwill have passed away. The great controversy will be ended, and sin will be no more
