For there are also found six thousand years of tribulation and temporal toil, the length of time the world is to endure. Throughout them, the Spirit of God has abundantly raised, comforted and strengthened comfortless human beings at all times amid cross and adversity. Thanks and praise be to God, this still happens daily and will continue until the great universal Sabbath and day of rest of the seven-thousandth year breaks forth and begins. Then this spiritual refreshment and revival will cease and reach its long-awaited conclusion, and in its place—since God will be all in all—everlasting joy will come and begin.
