For thus saith the LORD of hosts . . . “Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land. And I will shake all nations, and the Desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house (ref: Hebrews 3:6) with glory, saith the LORD of hosts . . . And the glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former (John 2:16-21), saith the LORD of hosts . . . and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts !” – Haggai 2:6-9

Let every one who claims to believe that the Lord is soon coming, search the Scriptures as never before; for Satan is determined to try every device possible to keep souls in darkness, and blind the mind to the perils of the times in which we are living. Let every believer take up his Bible with earnest prayer, that he may be enlightened by the Holy Spirit as to what is Truth (John 8:32 and John 17:17), that he may know more of God and of Jesus Christ Whom He has sent. Search for the Truth as for hidden treasures, and disappoint the enemy.
The time of test is just upon us, for the loud cry of the third angel has already begun in the revelation (revealing) of the righteousness of Christ, the sin-pardoning Redeemer. This is the beginning of the light of the angel whose glory shall fill the whole earth.
For it is the work of every one to whom the message of warning has come, to lift up Jesus, to present Him to the world as revealed in types, as shadowed in symbols, as manifested in the revelations of the prophets, as unveiled in the lessons given to His disciples and in the wonderful miracles wrought for the sons of men. Search the Scriptures; for they are they that testify of Him.
If you would stand through the time of trouble, you must know* (John 17:3) Christ, and appropriate the gift of His righteousness, which He imputes to the repentant sinner !”
