"***** The blessed hope of the second appearing of Christ, with its solemn realities, needs to be often presented to the people. Looking for the soon appearing of our Lord will lead us to regard earthly things as emptiness and nothingness. 6T 406.2"
"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;"
EGW uses the phrase "blessed hope of the second appearing of Christ," which is a direct allusion to Titus 2:13. The confidence is increased due to the clear and specific language used.
"It cannot now be said by the Lord's servants, as it was by the prophet Daniel: “The time appointed was long.” Daniel 10:1 . It is now but a short time till the witnesses for God will have done their work in preparing the way of the Lord. 6T 406.4"
"In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision."
Ellen White directly references Daniel 10:1 in this passage.
