We leave the reader to find a more detailed explanation of these great corroborative truths set forth in Volumes 2 and 3 of STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES.
[442]Why should any one deceive himself by being induced to cease an investigation of this subject because some self-constituted wise one will say: 'You can never know when the Lord will come'?
Jesus himself said to his faithful followers: "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come".

(Matthew 24:42) "And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." (Mark 13:37) The clear inference here is that the watchers in due time would recognize the evidences of his presence, and recognizing these, would rejoice.
[443]Suppose we admit, for the sake of the argument, that no man knows the day nor hour of the Lord's appearing.

What difference does that make?
The hour and the day have already passed.

He is here! And let all truly consecrated Christians rejoice.

"But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you," says St.Paul.
(1 Thessalonians 5:1) The times and seasons are clearly established by the overwhelming proof that the Lord is now present.
