Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
1 Thessalonians 5:6
“The coming of Christ will take place in the darkest period of this
earth’s history.
The days of Noah and Lot pictured the condition of the
world just before the coming of the Son of man…Not only is Satan leading the world captive, but his deceptions are leavening the professed churches of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The great apostasy will develop into darkness deep as midnight.” (Christ Object Lessons, p. 414).
