The Great Second Advent Movement: Its Rise and Progress

Chapter 24 — Other Predictions Fulfilled

“CONSIDER now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, consider it. Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.” 1 GSAM 376.1

The sure and steady advancement of the third angel’s message from its first inception may well be compared with the prosperity that attended Zerubbabel from the day he laid the foundation stone of the temple. GSAM 376.2
