    The Time Proclamation a Sweet Morsel

    The proclamation of the time in 1844 was indeed joyful news to those who believed, and who, without a doubt, expected so soon an eternal deliverance from all the ills, woes, and sorrows of this sinful world. The thought that in a few short weeks they should be glorified, immortalized, and be in the golden city of God, with their King, was indeed soul-inspiring. As expressed by one who had that experience, “Those who sincerely love Jesus can appreciate the feelings of those who watched with the most intense interest for the coming of their Saviour.... We approached this hour with a calm solemnity. The true believers rested in a sweet communion with God, an earnest of the peace that was to be theirs in the bright hereafter. Those who experienced this hope and trust can never forget those precious hours of waiting.”GSAM 186.1

    The peculiarly trying position of those who, on the eleventh day of the seventh month, found themselves still in this dark world of trial and temptation, where they must meet the scorn, sneers, and ridicule of those whom a few hours before they had exhorted to get ready to meet their Lord, finds a fitting illustration in the case of Mary as she “stood without at the sepulcher weeping;” and when accosted by the angels with the question, “Woman, why weepest thou?” said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.” 5John 20:13.GSAM 186.2
