After “The Great Disappointment,” the Second Advent movement was in ruins. Despite this, the Second Advent movement had its survivors. These would go on to form a variety of denominational groups, including the Advent Christians. In the wake of the Great Disappointment, each of these groups came together to continue the work of the Second Advent movement according to their own distinct persuasions. Here is the perspective of the Second Advent message proclaimed by those of the Advent Christian persuasion.
