A Word to the Little Flock - James S. White

Chapter 3
The Time of Trouble
"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the
great prince which standeth for the children of thy
people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as
never was since there was a nation even to that
same time: and at that time thy people shall be
delivered, every one that shall be found written in
the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust
of the earth shall awake," etc. (Dan. 12:1-2)
We are taught by some, that the standing up of
Michael, the time of trouble, and the delivering of
the saints are in the future; and that all these events
are to be accomplished at the second appearing of
Christ. Others teach, that Michael stood up on the
10th day of the 7th month, 1844, and that since that
time we have been passing through the "time of
trouble, such as never was;" and that the
deliverance of the saints, is at the first resurrection.
But as I cannot harmonize either of these views
with the bible, I wish to humbly give my brethren
