Holy Scriptures

proclaimed to our world. These matters are of infinite importance in
these last days; but while “many shall be purified, and made white,
and tried,” “the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked
shall understand.” How true this is! Sin is the transgression of the
law of God; and those who will not accept the light in regard to the
law of God will not understand the proclamation of the first, second,
and third angel’s messages. The book of Daniel is unsealed in the
revelation to John, and carries us forward to the last scenes of this
earth’s history.
Will our brethren bear in mind that we are living amid the perils
of the last days? Read Revelation in connection with Daniel. Teach
these things.
[116]
Unconquerable Forces Waiting
Those who eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of God
will bring from the books of Daniel and Revelation truth that is
inspired by the Holy Spirit. They will start into action forces that
cannot be repressed. The lips of children will be opened to proclaim
the mysteries that have been hidden from the minds of men.
We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events.
Many of the prophecies are about to be fulfilled in quick succession.
Every element of power is about to be set to work. Past history will
be repeated; old controversies will arouse to new life, and peril will
beset God’s people on every side. Intensity is taking hold of the
human family. It is permeating everything upon the earth....
Study Revelation in connection with Daniel, for history will be
repeated.... We, with all our religious advantages, ought to know far
more today than we do know.
Angels desire to look into the truths that are revealed to the
people who with contrite hearts are searching the word of God and
praying for greater lengths and breadths and depths and heights of
the knowledge which He alone can give.
As we near the close of this world’s history, the prophecies
relating to the last days especially demand our study. The last book
of the New Testament Scriptures is full of truth that we need to
understand. Satan has blinded the minds of many so that they have
been glad of any excuse for not making the Revelation their study.
