Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
The time of trouble spoken of by Daniel the prophet will be at our doorsteps much sooner than we now expect, and therefore, it is high time that we awake from slumber, and surrender ourselves fully to God so that when the shaking intensifies, as it surely would, we will be found rooted, and grounded in Christ.
[Letter 55 Paragraph 18] The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out—the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony will be found with the loyal and true, without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouths. We must be divested of our self-righteousness and arrayed in the righteousness of Christ.
We therefore end with a passage of scripture which should help us to do that which needs to be done, and we pray God that all who are so disposed, may be converted as soon as possible.
Romans 13: 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
