The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a Protestant Christian denomination known for its emphasis on the second coming of Jesus Christ. The church was founded in the United States in the mid-19th century and has since grown to become a global denomination with millions of members worldwide. Here are some of the key beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church:

  • Sabbath Observance: The Seventh-day Adventist Church observes the seventh day of the week (Saturday) as the Sabbath, a day of rest and worship.
  • Second Coming of Christ: Adventists believe that Jesus Christ will return to earth soon to bring an end to sin and establish His kingdom.
  • Health and Wholeness: Adventists believe that the body is the temple of God and emphasize the importance of a healthy lifestyle that includes a vegetarian diet, exercise, and abstaining from harmful substances such as alcohol and tobacco.
  • State of the Dead: Adventists believe that when a person dies, they remain unconscious until the resurrection at the second coming of Christ.
  • Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment: Adventists believe that there is a heavenly sanctuary where Christ is currently interceding on behalf of His people, and that there will be an investigative judgment before the second coming of Christ.
