A REVIVAL
In every part of the land, light was given 1.
upon the second angels message, and the cry
melted the hearts of thousands. It went from
city to city, and from village to village, until
the waiting people of God were fully aroused.
In many churches the message was not permit-
ted to be given, and a large company who had
the living testimony left these fallen churches.
A mighty work was accomplished by the mid-
night cry. Te message was heart-searching,
leading the believers to seek a living experience
for themselves. Tey knew that they could not
lean upon one another. . . .
A spirit of solemn and earnest prayer was
everywhere felt by the saints. A holy solemnity
was resting upon them. Angels were watching
with the deepest interest the eect of the mes-
sage, and were elevating those who received
it, and drawing them from earthly things to
obtain large supplies from salvations fountain.
Gods people were then accepted of Him. Je-
sus looked upon them with pleasure, for His
image was reected in them. Tey had made
a full sacrice, an entire consecration, and ex-
pected to be changed to immortality. But they
were destined again to be sadly disappointed.

REAVIVAMENTO
Em toda a parte do pas, foi propor- 1.
cionada luz acerca da mensagem do segundo
anjo, e o clamor amoleceu o corao de mil-
hares. Foi de cidade em cidade, e de vila em
vila, at que o povo expectante de Deus casse
completamente desperto. Em muitas igrejas
no foi permitido dar-se a mensagem, e uma
grande multido que tinha o vvido testemun-
ho deixou essas igrejas decadas. Uma poderosa
obra foi realizada pelo clamor da meia-noite. A
mensagem era de natureza a promover o exame
do corao, levando os crentes a buscar por si
mesmos uma vvida experincia. Sabiam que
no poderiam buscar apoio uns nos outros...
Um esprito de solene e fervorosa orao era
por toda parte sentido pelos santos. Uma santa
solenidade repousava sobre eles. Anjos esta-
vam a observar com o mais profundo interesse
o efeito da mensagem, e estavam a enobrecer
aqueles que a recebiam, e a retir-los das coi-
sas terrestres para obterem grande suprimento
da fonte da salvao. O povo de Deus era en-
to aceito por Ele. Jesus olhava para eles com
prazer, pois Sua imagem neles se reetia. Havi-
am feito um amplo sacrifcio, uma completa
consagrao, e esperavam ser transformados
imortalidade. Mas estavam de novo destinados
a ser tristemente decepcionados. Primeiros Es-

things. Revival signies a renewal of spiritual
life, a quickening of the powers of mind and
heart, a resurrection from spiritual death. Ref-
ormation signies a reorganization, a change
in ideas and theories, habits and practices. Ref-
ormation will not bring forth the good fruit of
righteousness unless it is connected with the
revival of the Spirit. Revival and reformation
are to do their appointed work, and in doing

DANIEL 11 NEARLY COMPLETED
We are living in the time of the end. Te 6.
fast-fullling signs of the times declare that the
coming of Christ is near at hand. Te days in
which we live are solemn and important. Te
Spirit of God is gradually but surely being
withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and judg-
ments are already falling upon the despisers of
the grace of God. Te calamities by land and
sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of
war, are portentous. Tey forecast approaching
events of the greatest magnitude.
Te agencies of evil are combining their
forces and consolidating. Tey are strengthen-
ing for the last great crisis. Great changes are
soon to take place in our world, and the nal
movements will be rapid ones.
Te condition of things in the world shows
that troublous times are right upon us. Te
daily papers are full of indications of a terrible
conict in the near future. Bold robberies are
of frequent occurrence. Strikes are common.
Tefts and murders are committed on every
hand. Men possessed of demons are taking the
lives of men, women, and little children. Men
have become infatuated with vice, and every
species of evil prevails. . . .

Reavivamento e reforma so duas coisas diver-

glory and a repetition of the persecutions of
the past are blended. Tey will walk in the
light proceeding from the throne of God. By
means of angels there will be constant commu-
nication between heaven and earth. And Satan,
surrounded by his evil angels, and claiming to

ceive, if possible, the very elect. Testimonies,

In the Revelation all the books of the 9.
Bible meet and end. Here is the complement
of the book of Daniel. One is a prophecy; the
other a revelation. Te book that was sealed
is not the Revelation, but that portion of the
prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days.

shut up the words, and seal the book, even to
the time of the end. Daniel 12:4. Acts of the
Apostles, 585.

GREAT AND SOLEMN EVENTS
All that God has in prophetic history 10.
specied to be fullled in the past has been,
and all that is yet to come in its order will be.
Daniel, Gods prophet, stands in his place.
John stands in his place. In the Revelation the
Lion of the tribe of Judah has opened to the
students of prophecy the book of Daniel, and
thus is Daniel standing in his place. He bears
his testimony, that which the Lord revealed to
him in vision of the great and solemn events
which we must know as we stand on the very
threshold of their fulllment. Selected Mes-
sages, book 2, 109.

As we near the close of this worlds history,

any excuse for not making the Revelation their
study. Testimonies to Ministers, 116117.
KNOWLEDGE INCREASED
Te book that was sealed was not the 13.
book of Revelation, but that portion of the
prophecy of Daniel which related to the last
days. Te Scripture says, But thou, O Dan-
iel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even
to the time of the end: many shall run to and
fro, and knowledge shall be increased (Daniel
12:4). When the book was opened, the proc-
lamation was made, Time shall be no longer.
(See Revelation 10:6.) Te book of Daniel
is now unsealed, and the revelation made by
Christ to John is to come to all the inhabitants
of the earth. By the increase of knowledge a
people is to be prepared to stand in the latter
days. . . .
In the rst angels message men are called
upon to worship God, our Creator, who made
the world and all things that are therein. Tey
have paid homage to an institution of the Pa-

this subject. Selected Messages, book 2, 106

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, say-

become the habitation of devils, and the hold
of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean
and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of
the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and
the kings of the earth have committed fornica-
tion with her, and the merchants of the earth

autumn of the same year, to which it was after-

was proclaimed in the very words of Scripture:
Behold, the Bridegroom cometh!
Tat which led to this movement was the
discovery that the decree of Artaxerxes for the
restoration of Jerusalem, which formed the
starting point for the period of the 2300 days,
went into eect in the autumn of the year 457
B.C., and not at the beginning of the year, as

THE CATALYST OF PROPHECY
In the year 1840 another remarkable 18.
fulllment of prophecy excited widespread in-
terest. two years before, Josiah Litch, one of
the leading ministers preaching the second ad-
vent, published an exposition of Revelation 9,
predicting the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Ac-
cording to his calculations, this power was to
be overthrown in A.D. 1840, sometime in the
month of August; and only a few days previ-
ous to its accomplishment he wrote: Allowing
the rst period, 150 years, to have been exactly
fullled before Deacozes ascended the throne
by permission of the Turks, and that the 391
years, fteen days, commenced at the close of
the rst period, it will end on the 11th of Au-
gust, 1840, when the Ottoman power in Con-
stantinople may be expected to be broken. And
this, I believe, will be found to be the case.
At the very time specied, Turkey, through
her ambassadors, accepted the protection of the
allied powers of Europe, and thus placed her-
self under the control of Christian nations. Te
event exactly fullled the prediction. When it
became known, multitudes were convinced of
the correctness of the principles of prophetic
interpretation adopted by Miller and his as-
sociates, and a wonderful impetus was given
to the advent movement. Men of learning and
position united with Miller, both in preaching
and in publishing his views, and from 1840
to 1844 the work rapidly extended. Te Great
Controversy, 334335.
THE WISE
As we near the close of this worlds histo- 19.
ry, the prophecies recorded by Daniel demand
our special attention, as they relate to the very
time in which we are living. With them should
be linked the teachings of the last book of the
New Testament Scriptures. Satan has led many
to believe that the prophetic portions of the
writings of Daniel and of John the revelator
cannot be understood. But the promise is plain
that special blessing will accompany the study
of these prophecies. Te wise shall understand
(verse 10), was spoken of the visions of Daniel
that were to be unsealed in the latter days; and
of the revelation that Christ gave to His ser-
O CATALIZADOR DA PROFECIA
No ano de 1840 outro notvel cumpri- 18.
mento de profecia despertou geral interesse.
Dois anos antes, Josias Litch, um dos prin-
cipais pastores que pregavam o segundo ad-
vento, publicou uma explicao de Apocalipse
9, predizendo a queda do Imprio Otomano.
Segundo os seus clculos essa potncia deveria
ser subvertida no ano de 1840, no ms de Ag-
osto; e poucos dias apenas antes do seu cum-
primento escreveu: Admitindo que o primeiro
perodo, 150 anos, se cumpriu exatamente an-
tes que Deacozes subisse ao trono com permis-
so dos turcos, e que os 391 anos e quinze dias
comearam no nal do primeiro perodo, ter-
minar no dia 11 de Agosto de 1840, quando
se pode esperar seja abatido o poderio otomano
em Constantinopla. E isso, creio eu, vericar-
se- ser o caso.
No mesmo tempo especicado, a Turquia,
por intermdio dos seus embaixadores, aceitou
a proteo das potncias aliadas da Europa,
e assim se ps sob a direo de naes cris-
ts. O acontecimento cumpriu exatamente a
predio. Quando isso se tornou conhecido,
multides convenceram-se da exatido dos
princpios de interpretao proftica adotados
por Miller e seus companheiros, e maravilhoso
impulso foi dado ao movimento do advento.
Homens de saber e posio uniram-se a Miller,
tanto para pregar como para publicar as suas
opinies, e de 1840 a 1844 a obra estendeu-se
rapidamente. O Grande Conito, 334-335.
AS SBIAS
Ao nos aproximarmos do m da histria 19.
deste mundo, as profecias registradas por Dan-
iel demandam a nossa especial ateno, visto
relacionarem-se com o prprio tempo em que
estamos vivendo. Com elas devem-se ligar os
ensinos do ltimo livro das Escrituras do Novo
Testamento. Satans tem levado muitos a crer
que as pores profticas dos escritos de Daniel
e Joo, o revelador, no podem ser compreen-
didas. Mas a promessa clara de que bno es-
pecial acompanhar o estudo dessas profecias.

Daniel 11:40
Te history of nations that one after 20.
another have occupied their allotted time and
place, unconsciously witnessing to the truth of
which they themselves knew not the meaning,
speaks to us. To every nation and to every in-
dividual of today God has assigned a place in

Him who makes no mistake. All are by their
own choice deciding their destiny, and God is
overruling all for the accomplishment of His
purposes.
Te history which the great I AM has
marked out in His word, uniting link after
link in the prophetic chain, from eternity in
the past to eternity in the future, tells us where
we are today in the procession of the ages, and

Library on Monday, June 7, 1982. It was the

In that meeting, Reagan and the pope
agreed to undertake a clandestine campaign
to hasten the dissolution of the Communist

National Security Advisor: Tis was one of the

Reagan came with very simple and strong-

mer deputy director of the CIA. It is a valid
point that he saw the collapse (of Commu-
nism) coming and he pushed it hard. Dur-

emerged that was aimed at bringing about the
collapse of the Soviet economy. . . .

void, when His name is dishonored, when it
is considered disloyal to the laws of the land
to keep the seventh day as the Sabbath, when
wolves in sheeps clothing, through blindness
of mind and hardness of heart, are seeking to
compel the conscience, shall we give up our
loyalty to God? No, no. Te wrongdoer is lled
with a Satanic hatred against those who are
loyal to the commandments of God, but the
value of Gods law as a rule of conduct must
be made manifest. Te zeal of those who obey
the Lord will be increased as the world and the
church unite in making void the law. Tey will
say with the Psalmist, I love thy command-
ments above gold; yea above ne gold [Psalm
119:127]. Tis is what will be sure to occur
when the law of God is made void by a na-
tional act. When Sunday is exalted and sus-
tained by law, then the principle that actuates
the people of God will be made manifest, as
the principle of the three Hebrews was made
manifest when Nebuchadnezzar commanded
them to worship the golden image in the plain
of Dura. We can see what our duty is when the
truth is overborne by falsehood. Manuscript

under the inuence of this threefold union,
our country shall repudiate every principle of

people of the Lord such a revival of primitive
godliness as has not been witnessed since ap-

will be poured out upon His children. At that
time many will separate themselves from those
churches in which the love of the world has
supplanted love for God and His Word. Many,
both ministers and people, will gladly accept
those great truths which God has caused to be
proclaimed at this time to prepare a people for

to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall
be glorious. And it shall come to pass in that
day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the
second time to recover the remnant of his
people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and
from Egypt, from Pathros, and from Cush,
and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from
Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And
he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and
shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather
together the dispersed of Judah from the four
corners of the earth.
Te envy also of Ephraim shall depart,
and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut o:
Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall
not vex Ephraim. But they shall y upon the
shoulders of the Philistines toward the west;
they shall spoil them of the east together: they
shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab;
and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue
of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind
shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall
smite it in the seven streams, and make men
go over dryshod. And there shall be a highway
for the remnant of his people, which shall be
left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the
day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

For about forty years, students of 119.
prophecy in the United States have presented
this testimony to the world. In the events now
taking place is seen a rapid advance toward
the fulllment of the prediction. With Protes-
tant teachers there is the same claim of divine
authority for Sunday-keeping, and the same
lack of scriptural evidence, as with the papist
leaders who fabricated miracles to supply the
place of a command from God. Te assertion
that Gods judgments are visited upon men for
their violation of the Sunday-sabbath, will be
repeated; already it is beginning to be urged.
And a movement to enforce Sunday obser-
vance is fast gaining ground. Te Great Con-

In short, that contemporary map of 142.
shame would be the graphic expression of the
atrocity we have come to describe so blandly
as the division of the world into North and
South, which is to say, in plainer terms, the
division of nations, and of populations within
nations, into rich and poor. . . .
It is just such a map of shame that Pope
John Paul does hold up to the world in his
moral assessment of the geopolitical arrange-
ments that are setting up our future for us. ...
On the modern map of world shame that
is the subject of so much of John Pauls atten-
tion, North and South do not gure as precise
geographical terms. Instead, they are global
frontiers where wealth and poverty divide not
only nations, but societies within nations. ...
Whether it is applied in the connes of the
United States, or in the world at large, John
Pauls moral assessment of North and South is

is to be brought. Te powers of earth, unit-
ing to war against the commandments of God,
will decree that, all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond (Revelation 13:16),
shall conform to the customs of the church by
observance of the false sabbath. All who refuse
compliance will be visited with civil penalties,
and it will nally be declared that they are de-
serving of death. Te Great Controversy, 604.
And he causeth all, both small and great, 144.
rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark
in their right hand, or in their foreheads. Rev-
elation 13:16.
But tidings out of the east and out of the 145.
north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go
forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to
make away many. Daniel 11:44.
EAST AND NORTH
And I saw another angel ascending from 146.
the east, having the seal of the living God: and
he cried with a loud voice to the four angels,
to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the
sea, saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea,
nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of
our God in their foreheads. Revelation 7:23.
Soon there appears in the east a small 147.
black cloud, about half the size of a mans hand.
It is the cloud which surrounds the Saviour and
which seems in the distance to be shrouded in
darkness. Te people of God know this to be
the sign of the Son of man. Te Great Contro-
versy, 640.

DESTROY
Te whole world is to be stirred with en- 151.
mity against Seventh-day Adventists, because
they will not yield homage to the Papacy, by
honoring Sunday, the institution of this anti-
Christian power. It is the purpose of Satan to
cause them to be blotted from the earth, in or-
der that his supremacy of the world may not
be disputed. Review and Herald, August 22,
1893.
When this grand work is to take place 152.

BLOCKING THE MESSAGE
Tough being unable to expel God from 161.
His throne, Satan has charged God with satan-
ic attributes and has claimed the attributes of
God as his own. He is a deceiver, and through
his serpentine sharpness, through his crooked
practices he has drawn to himself the homage
which man should have given to God, and has
planted his satanic throne between the human
worshiper and the divine Father. Manuscript
