Jeremiah 30:6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? 7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
[Last Day Events pp 180] Soon God’s people will be tested by fiery trials, and the great proportion of those who now appear to be genuine and true will prove to be base metal. The Lord has faithful servants who in the shaking, testing time will be disclosed to view. There are precious ones now hidden who have not bowed the knee to Baal. 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. As the storm approaches, a large class who have professed faith in the third angel’s message, but have not been sanctified through obedience to the truth, abandon their position and join the ranks of the opposition… The Lord is now calling us to deep soul searching, to see if maybe, the battle for our minds is slipping into the hands of a tyrant.
Deliberate decisions in favor of Christ, intelligent understanding of present truth, coupled with a willing heart and mind, will ensure that the work of sealing us in the frontal lobes will continue uninterrupted. It is the will of God that Bible studies be translated into your everyday experiences, so that like Enoch, the Christian can walk with God. We therefore end with two passages of Scripture that will encourage us to do so, because the time is now, and the place is here.
John 1: 12 But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
