The Great Second Advent Movement: Its Rise and Progress

The Judgment Message Due in 1844

The period of time having been discovered when the judgment of the saints would commence, the way was opened so that, in the Lord’s order of events, as marked in prophecy, the message could be given, “The hour of his judgment is come.” Mark, it does not say that immediately on the discovery of that period of time the message would be proclaimed, but that the light previously “sealed up” should be made plain. We see clearly that this was accomplished. In succeeding chapters it will appear that the Lord just as definitely marked the time when the advent message would be proclaimed, and just as literally was the proclamation given to the world.
