The Time and The Work addresses the urgency of the hour and the work God's people must accomplish before probation closes. This prophetic pamphlet emphasizes that limited time remains for finishing gospel work and that believers must work with renewed dedication and urgency. White typically addressed: signs indicating time's shortness, the specific work needing completion (three angels' messages to all nations), obstacles hindering progress, reforms needed for receiving latter rain, and preparation required before close of probation. The pamphlet warned against delay, complacency, or worldly absorption while urging aggressive mission advance. Understanding the time—that we live in earth's final hours—should produce corresponding urgency in completing assigned work.
All believers needing urgency sense, complacent church members, mission workers, and those understanding prophetic times demanding immediate action.
