CONNECT YOURSELF WITH GOD
Even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.--1 Corinthians 4:3-4
The enemy has worked, and he is working still. He is come down in great power and the Spirit of God is being withdrawn from the earth. God has withdrawn His hand. We have only to look at Johnstown [in reference to the Johnstown, Pennsylvania, flood]. He did not prevent the devil from wiping that whole city out of existence. And these very things will increase until the very close of this earth's history, because he has come down in great power, and he works with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish.
What is he doing? Going about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. And when he sees those who are resisting the light, and that God does not shelter them, he will exercise his cruel power upon them. This is what we may expect....
Just prior to the time when the children of Israel left Egypt,...the God of heaven suffered the firstborn of both man and beast to be slain....
What was there to do the last night? They were to kill a lamb and take the blood and mark the lintels and the doorposts. What for? To evidence to the whole of Israel, as they shall see these things, that there was something that connected them with God....
Just prior to the coming of the Son of man there is and has been for years a determination on the part of the enemy to cast his hellish shadow right between man and his Saviour. (Manuscript 5, June 19, 1889)
REFLECTION: The great mass of the world will reject God's mercy, and will be overwhelmed in swift and irretrievable ruin. But those who heed the warning shall dwell "in the secret place of the Most High," and "abide under the shadow of the Almighty." His truth shall be their shield and buckler. (Patriarchs and Prophets, 167)
