Christ’s coming called forth great opposition
from many of all classes, from the minister in the

The words of prophecy were fulfilled: “There shall come
in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? for
since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they
were from the beginning of the creation.” (2 Peter 3:3,

fatal for us as it was for those who lived in the days of
Noah not to know when the flood was coming.

Adam and Eve first heard the promise, they looked
for its speedy fulfillment. [...]
From the days of Enoch the promise was repeated
through patriarchs and prophets, keeping alive the hope
of His appearing [...] The prophecy of Daniel revealed the time
of His advent, but not all rightly interpreted the message.
But like the stars in the vast circuit of their appointed
path, God’s purposes know no haste and no delay.
“When the fullness of the time was come, God sent
forth His Son.”

127. They had been unfaithful servants,
their works would not bear the inspection
of the heart-searching God, and they feared
to meet their Lord. Like the Jews at the time
of Christ’s first advent they were not prepared
to welcome Jesus. They not only refuse to listen to the plain
arguments from the Bible, but ridiculed those who were
looking for the Lord. Satan and his angels exulted, and flung
the taunt in the face of Christ and holy angels that His
professed people had so little love for him that they did not
desire His appearing.
The Great Controversy, p. 370
128. “No man knoweth the day nor the hour” was the argument
most often brought forward by rejecters of the advent faith.

of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Jesus gave them
signs, and said: “When ye shall see all there things, know that
it is near, even at the doors.” (Verses 3, 33).
