Allow for but one lie in Scriture and all its authority will fall to the ground. Let it be once entertained or taught by Scripture or divine revelation that Christ shall come at such a time, and that time proves to be false, then faith comes to be weakened. The delay of Christ's coming bred scoffing in some (2 Peter 3:4), and made others say that there is either no resurrection, or that it is past already.
William Spurstowe, The Wiles of Satan, p. 65
