What are three important events in the worldwide advent awakening?

1. The publication of William Miller's book, "Evidence from Scripture and History of the Second Coming of Christ, About the Year 1843." This book, published in 1831, was a major catalyst for the Advent movement. In it, Miller presented his Biblical interpretation that Jesus would return to Earth in 1843 or 1844. This prediction attracted a large following of believers who became known as Millerites.

2. The Great Disappointment of 1844. When Jesus did not return in 1844 as Miller had predicted, many of his followers were disillusioned and disappointed. This event led to a significant division within the Advent movement, with some believers abandoning their faith while others continued to believe in the soon return of Jesus.

3. The emergence of various Adventist denominations. In the aftermath of the Great Disappointment, several different Adventist denominations emerged, each with its distinctive beliefs and practices. These denominations include the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the Advent Christian Church, and the Church of God (Seventh Day). These denominations continue to exist today and play an important role in the worldwide Advent movement.
