Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.--Amos 3:7
An immense ball of fire came down upon the world and crushed large house. From place to place rose the cry, "The Lord has come! The Lord has come!" Many were unprepared to meet Him, but a few were saying, "Praise the Lord!"
"Why are you praising the Lord?" inquired those upon whom was coming sudden destruction.
"Because we now see what we have been looking for."
"If you believe that these things were coming, why did you not tell us?" was the terrible response. "We did not know about these things. Why did you leave us in ignorance? Again and again you have seen us; why did you not become acquainted with us and tell us of the judgment to come, and that we must serve God, lest we perish? Now we are lost!"...
May God help us to stand, like Daniel, in our lot and place during the days of probation that remain. Parents, teach your children regarding the things that are coming upon the earth, and lead them to prepare to meet their Lord in peace. (Manuscript 102, July 2, 1904)
A very impressive scene passed before me. I saw an immense ball of fire fall into the midst of some beautiful mansions, causing their instant destruction. I heard some say, "We knew that the judgments of God were coming upon the earth, but we did not know they would come so soon." Others said, "You knew! Why then did you not tell us? We did not know." On every side I heard such words spoken. (Letter 217, July 3, 1904)
REFLECTION: Christians have been blessed by God. Light given us through His prophets has been given so that we can share it with others. Give them an opportunity to turn their hearts over to Jesus and live for Him so that they may be saved.
