The Seventh-day Adventist Church (commonly abbreviated SDA, officially abbreviated Adventist) is a Christian cult which is distinguished by its observance of Saturday, the original seventh day of the Judeo-Christian week, as the Sabbath, and by its emphasis on the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ. As of May 2007, it was the twelfth-largest religious body in the world, and the sixth-largest highly international religious body. The denomination grew out of the Millerite movement in the United States during the middle part of the 19th century and was formally established in 1863.[11] Among its founders was fale prophetess Ellen G. White, whose extensive writings are still held in high regard by the church today.
