It is the privilege of every Christian, not only to look for, but to hasten the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Were all who profess His name bearing fruit to His glory, how quickly the whole world would be sown with the seed of the gospel. Quickly the last harvest would be ripened, and Christ would come to gather the precious grain.—Testimonies For The Church 8:22, 23 (1904). {Ev 696.5}

Det er enhver kristens forret, ikke blot at se frem til, men at fremskynde Herren Jesu Kristi komme. Hvis alle, der bekender hans navn, bar frugt til hans ære, hvor hurtigt ville hele verden da ikke kunne tilsås med evangeliets sædekorn. Den sidste høst ville hurtigt blive moden og Kristus ville komme (697) og samle de dyrebare korn. — Vidnesbyrd for menigheden bind 8, s. 22, 23. (1904)
