Seventh Day Adventism is a milleniaristic Christian expression that emerged in United States in the century XIX as an unfolding of the 1844 Great Disappointment of the Adventist Movement led by William Miller. SevenSeventh Day Adventism was a dissident movement led by Joseph Bates and the couple James and Ellen White, that emphasized Sabbath observance as a sign of fidelity to God and an investigative judgment preceding Christ's second coming. With clearly defined proselytizing characteristics, they expanded initially to Europe, where Germany was an important support place. They entered in Brazil through the German community. The insertion through the German community favored their establishment as they found a pietistic mind. The Adventism identity with the German community in their origins left influences for several decades.
