THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

Stephen N. Haskell

“Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
hand” Revelation 22:10.

When the autumn of 1844 passed and the

Saviour did not come, bitter sorrow filled the

hearts of the people. Some lost their faith and

turned to the world; but others said, “There is

a mistake somewhere, God is true and faithful,

the mistake must be on our part.” While

searching the Scriptures prayerfully, light

from the heavenly sanctuary flashed into their

minds. As they turned their eyes heavenward,

by faith they saw the heavenly temple, and

realized that they had truthfully given the

message, “The hour of His judgment is come”;

for Christ entered the most holy place of the

heavenly sanctuary, at the end of the two

thousand three hundred days and

commenced the work of the investigative

judgment.
