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
Christ became one flesh with us, in order that we might become one spirit with Him. It is by virtue of this union that we are to come forth from the grave,--not merely as a manifestation of the power of Christ, but because, through faith, His life has become ours. Those who see Christ in His true character, and receive Him into the heart, have everlasting life. It is through the Spirit that Christ dwells in us; and the Spirit of God, received into the heart by faith, is the beginning of the life eternal. Desire of Ages, p. 388
