William Miller (preacher)

American founder of the Adventist movement (1782–1849)

William Miller (February 15, 1782 – December 20, 1849) was an American clergyman who is credited with beginning the mid-19th-century North American religious movement known as Millerism. After his proclamation of the Second Coming did not occur as expected in the 1840s, new heirs of his message emerged, including the Advent Christians (1860), the Seventh-day Adventists (1863) and other Adventist movements.

Early life

William Miller was born on February 15, 1782, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. His parents were Captain William Miller, a veteran of the American Revolution, and Paulina, the daughter of Elnathan Phelps. When he was four years old, his family moved to rural Low Hampton, New York. Miller was educated at home by his mother until the age of nine, when he attended the newly established East Poultney District School. Miller is not known to have undertaken any type of formal study after the age of eighteen, though he continued to read widely and voraciously.^{[citation neede}

Description

William Miller was a leader in the great Advent movement that swept America in the 1830s and 1840s. Although he was a farmer, he spent much time studying God’s word. In his study, he came to the amazing conclusion that Christ was coming back to earth in but a few years. Being strongly impressed by God that he was to go and “tell it to the world,” Miller, after a long resistance, finally yielded and accepted an invitation to preach what he was studying.

In Memoirs of William Miller, Sylvester Bliss recalls several facts and heart-warming stories about Miller’s life and work. The reader will feel the impetus and force of the message that was carried into every missionary station of the world. What a comfort it is to understand and verify that God’s hand was in the movement. One will have but an incomplete experience without becoming acquainted with the early efforts in the great Advent movement. We must review our history, so that our faith can become strong by contemplating the providences of God and His teaching in our past history regar

William Miller lived from August 1810 to 20 August 1872. He was a Scottish poet best known as the author of the nursery rhyme Wee Willie Winkie and is sometimes known as "The Laureate of the Nursery". The wider picture in Scotland at the time is set out in our Historical Timeline.

William Miller was born in Glasgow and lived in Dennistoun, a suburb to the east of the city centre. His ambitions to become a surgeon were thwarted by ill health, and instead he set up in business as a woodturner and cabinet maker. Meanwhile he began to write poetry and nursery rhymes, mainly in Scots. These appeared in a number of magazines of the day, and in 1842 a collected edition was published under the title: Whistle-binkie: Stories for the Fireside. This contained the nursery rhyme for which he is now best known, "Wee Willie Winkie".

"Wee Willie Winkie" went on to achieve considerable popular success, and was translated into many different languages, including English. But while it brought Miller a degree of fame at the time, it did not make h
