If the Lord is to come at the midnight hour, we can believe that the world has been in its eleventh hour for a long time.

There is a circumstance that took place at the end of the First World War:
* World War I ended on the eleventh hour
* of the eleventh day
* of the eleventh month in 1918
* exactly eleven months after Jerusalem was liberated
*on the eleventh of December 1917

A coincidence or was God's clock striking eleven, bring the world to the attention that it had entered into the eleventh hour of its history and that the midnight hour would soon be at hand?
