"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only" (Matt. 24: 36).
Some concepts have been well received, but this was because these people lack the discernment to understand the true scope of the arguments that you presented. Have had only limited experience in the work of God for this time and can not see where the lead their views, and neither you can see where it will. They are ready to approve their statements, they see nothing in them other than what is right. But they are deceived, because you have woven many Scriptures with their own theories. Their arguments seem compelling to them.
But not so with those who have had an experiential knowledge of truth that applies to the last period of the history of this world.

They spoke of their strong appeals filed on his sickbed. Looked wonderful visions. But what was the source of his inspiration? He was administered morphine to relieve their pain ...
No person shall set a date for the coming of Christ has a true message. You can be assured that God does not give anyone authority to say that Christ delays his coming five, ten or twenty years. "Therefore be ye also ready: for the Son of Man will come when you do not expect ..."
And everyone working together with God contend earnestly for the faith once delivered unto the saints. Not deviate from the message this time, which is illuminating the earth with his glory. Out of the glory of God, not worth fight for anything else. The only rock that will remain is the Rock of Eternity. The truth as it is in Jesus is the only refuge in these days when the predominant error (Letter 32, 1896). EGW
