of time that shall elapse before the coming of Jesus
the second time with power and great glory. Some
have set a time, and when that has passed, their

they have set another and another time. But many
successive failures have stamped them as false
prophets. - Fundamentals of Christian Education, 335

ten years or twenty years before this earth's history
shall close. He would not give any living being an excuse
for delaying the preparation for His appearing. He
would have no one say, as did the unfaithful servant,
"My lord delayeth his coming," for this leads to reckless
neglect of the opportunities and privileges given to
prepare us for that great day. - The Review and Herald,
November 27, 1900. LDE 34.2
