When Jesus did not appear on the revised date, the event became known as the Great Disappointment. Miller himself repented of attempting to set a date and returned to the Baptist church. However, another follower found a convenient explanation for what went on: Miller didn't have the '''''date''''' wrong but had the '''''event''''' wrong. Instead of Jesus coming to Earth, he would enter the Holy Temple in Heaven and begin cleansing it (an event known as the "Investigative Judgment"). Many followers of Miller's original movement accepted the revision, which eventually gave birth to the beginnings of the [[Seventh-day Adventist Church]]. | When Jesus did not appear on the revised date, the event became known as the Great Disappointment.
