J. Pearson’s Historical and Astronomical Diagram from 1846 is marked out at regular one-year intervals from 31 BCE to 37 CE. Pearson strives to correct William Miller’s apocalyptic calculations by establishing the precise dates of Christ’s life from historical data on eclipses of the sun. According to Pearson, the evidence was “exceeding strong” that the Second Advent would come in the fall of 1846. “Reader, are you prepared?”

Millerite charts such as A Chronological Chart of the Visions of Daniel and John, printed by Joshua Himes in 1842, integrated the visual logic of the timeline, chronological calculus, and apocalyptic symbolism in a single scheme. The final date in the left-hand column, 1843, indicates the coming end of the world.
