Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White Book of Daniel Now Unsealed for Study Today's Text: But thou, O Daniel, 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 The Message:      There is need of a much closer study of the Word of God; especially should Daniel and the Revelation have attention as never before in the history of our work. We may have less to say in some lines, in regard to the Roman power and the papacy, but we should call attention to what the prophets and apostles have written under the inspiration of the Spirit of God.  The Holy Spirit has so shaped matters, both in the giving of the prophecy and in the events portrayed, as to teach that the human agent is to be kept out of sight, hid in Christ, and the Lord God of heaven ...

Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White Study Daniel and Revelation Together Today's Text: Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. Daniel 10:14 The Message:      Daniel identified himself with Israel's sins, and confessed their sins as his own. He prayed, "O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name." Yet Gabriel, the heavenly messenger, thrice called him a man greatly beloved.  "And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God; yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the...

Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White Good and Evil Angels Always Present Today's Text: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world. Ephesians 6:12 The Message:      I wish to call your attention this afternoon to the importance of everyone understanding that we cannot keep ourselves, that God has angels. These angels from heaven communicate with the children of men, and not one of us, by anything we may do, can uphold or keep ourselves. We are where we are, kept every moment by the power of God . I have thought that we do not make the ministration of heavenly angels as important as we should.      We do not take in this matter and present it in the church; we do not present it in our families; we do not talk it as we ought, a...

Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White People to be Educated to Search the Scriptures Today's Text: Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. John 5:39 The Message:      The present is a time of great peril to the people of God. God is leading out a people, not an individual here and there...."Take heed, therefore, how ye hear" is an admonition of Christ. We are to hear for the sake of learning the truth, that we may walk in it. And again: "Take heed what ye hear." Examine closely, "prove all things," "believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." [ 1 Thessalonians 5:21 ; 1 John 4:1 .] ". This is the counsel of God; shall we heed it?      A man may hear and...

Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White We Are to Know the Truth and Practice It Today's Text: If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. John 7:17 The Message:      We are not to set our stakes and then interpret everything to reach this set point. Here is where some of our great Reformers have failed, and this is the reason that many who today might be mighty champions for God and the truth are warring against the truth.  Let every thought, every word, and the deportment savor of that courtesy and Christian politeness toward each other which the Scriptures enjoin. God designs we should be learners, first from the living oracles, and second from our associates. This is God's order.      The Word of God is the great detector of error; to it we ...
