Jesus Revealed in Doctrine THERE SHALL NO EVIL BEFALL THEE
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Ps. 91:1.
If you were to take the books of Daniel and Revelation out of your Bible and paste them together you would have a history of the world from about 600 B.C. until the end of time. It would be a history of the world in advance--called prophecy. At the very beginning of this history are some exciting stories to keep the children's attention. For example, the three Hebrews in the furnace, Daniel in the lions' den, and the handwriting on the wall. In Daniel 2 is the table of contents of this history of the world. It tells of the great world empires clear through to the end of the world. Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, followed by ten kingdoms, followed by God's kingdom. Daniel and Revelation were designed for the time of the end.
Much of the detail has to do with the last of the world empires and the coming of Jesus. God is interested in each one of us knowing clearly and in advance what the issues are, so that we can choose intelligently which of two groups we would like to become part of.
Until shortly before the coming of Jesus, there will be three groups of people living upon the earth--the cold, the hot, and the lukewarm (Revelation 3). But when Jesus comes, there will be only two groups. There will be only hot and cold. The lukewarm will have disappeared There will be one group with the seal of God in their foreheads, and one group with the mark of the beast in their foreheads or hands. Two groups. Other Bible descriptions of these two groups are righteous and wicked, good and bad, wheat and tares, just and unjust, sheep and goats, and so on. But two clear groups.
Do you have any idea which group you would like to be in? Do you realize the alternatives? Do you realize that if you are in one group you will not be able to buy or sell? Do you realize that you will have the death penalty over your head? That's what happens to God's group. But the other group will suffer the seven last plagues, and will gnaw their tongues for pain, and the sun will scorch them with heat. It looks at first glance as though you are in trouble no matter which you choose! But God's people have been promised that there shall no evil befall them. We can hide in Him, and find safety there.
