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.
In other words, the things that are coming upon the earth in short order have no precedents, and this is one of the main reasons why God commanded His prophets to speak of it in such graphic terms. We’re not to take lightly, or for granted, the solemn call to prayer, at such a time as this.
[The Great Controversy pp 622] The “time of trouble such as never was,” is soon to open upon us; and we shall need an experience which we do not now possess, and which many are too indolent to obtain. It is often the case that trouble is greater in anticipation than in reality; but this is not true of the crisis before us. The most vivid presentation cannot reach the magnitude of the ordeal. In that time of trial, every soul must stand for himself before God.
When the trial of our faith comes, the spontaneous reactions usually make manifest whether or not we had been seeking God all along, for instead of going into panic mode, Job kneels down and worships. It doesn’t mean that he was not adversely affected by the trial, he was, but he was able to regroup pretty quickly after receiving the very bad news.
Job 1:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
