This day in 1844 was the day of The Great Disappointment. The Great Disappointment in the Millerite movement was the reaction that followed Baptist preacher William Miller’s widely believed proclamation that Jesus Christ would return to the Earth by 1844, which he called the Second Advent. His study of the Daniel 8 prophecy during the Second Great Awakening led him to conclude that Daniel’s “cleansing of the sanctuary” was cleansing the world from sin when Christ would come, and he and many others prepared. When Jesus did not appear by October 22, 1844, Miller and his followers were disappointed.
These events paved the way for the Adventists who formed the Seventh-day Adventist Church. They contended that what had happened on October 22 was not Jesus’s return, as Miller had thought, but the start of Jesus’s final work of atonement, the cleansing in the heavenly sanctuary, leading up to the Second Coming.

On this day in 1966, The Supremes became the first female group to have a No.1 album on the US chart with ‘The Supremes a Go Go’, knocking The Beatles Revolver from the top of the charts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTBmgAOO0Nw
