Some mistakenly think that Mrs. White indicated that Christ
will come at midnight. A careful reading of the statement in Early Writings,
page 285, and The Great Controversy, pages 635, 636, reveals that God's
people are "at midnight" delivered from the death sentence, and events
from that hour happen rapidly until, according to The Great Controversy,
page 640, "Soon there appears in the east a small black cloud, about half
the size of a man's hand."
Thought for the Day
The soul that is yielded to Christ becomes His own fortress, which He holds in a revolted world, and He intends that no authority shall be known in it but His own. A soul thus kept in possession by the heavenly agencies is impregnable to the assaults of Satan. But unless we do yield ourselves to the control of Christ, we shall be dominated by the wicked one.
