And
there shall be a time of trouble SUCH AS NEVER WAS since there was a
nation even to that same time.” Daniel 12:1.
For
then shall be great tribulation. SUCH AS WAS NOT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF
THE WORLD to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days
should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; but for the elect’s
sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew

“The
Seven Last Plagues… enraged the wicked against the righteous;
they thought that we had brought the judgments of God upon them, and
that if they could rid the earth from us, the plagues would then be
stayed. A decree went forth to slay the saints, which cause them to
cry day and night for deliverance. This was the Time of Jacob’s
Trouble.” EW 36, 37. Zechariah
2:8; Isaiah 33:16;
Isaiah 41:17;
