Adventistische Schriften über: "Only a few months left to prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus"

Early Adventist writings emphasize that the time for preparing for the Second Coming of Jesus is almost up, and believers now must learn in a few months what others had years to learn. A companion angel already warned in 1850 of the urgent preparation, as a deeper dying to the world is necessary to reflect the image of Jesus. Since the time in the Most Holy Place is soon ending, only a very short span remains to carry out the necessary heart test and repentance.

Urgent Preparation in a Short Time

Some of us were given time to receive the truth and to progress step by step... But now the time is almost up, and what we have learned in years, they will have to learn in a few months. They will also have much to unlearn and much to learn anew.

The Angel's Warning: Be Ready

In a vision on June 27, 1850 my companion angel said: 'The time is almost up. Are you reflecting the lovely image of Jesus as you should?' ... The angel said: 'Be ready, be ready, be ready. You will have to die a greater death before the world than you ever have before.' I saw that there was a great work to be done for them and only little time remained to accomplish it.

The End of the Ministry in the Most Holy Place

I saw that the time when Jesus would be in the Most Holy Place was almost over and that the time could only last a little longer.

Call to Immediate Flight to Jesus

Now is the pleasant time – now is the day of salvation. Now, while the last flood may subside – while the last grain of sand may fall – flee to Jesus – flee quickly – confess your sins – plead for mercy, while He is still on the throne of grace.

Hourly Prayer for Worthiness

We were disappointed for a few days in the expected Second Coming of our Lord, but we know through an unfailing testimony that the same Jesus... 'will return in the same manner.' 'But who can endure the day of His coming?' Only the one in whom Christ, the hope of glory, has taken shape. Let us pray hourly, even momentarily, for this suitability and strive.
