Last Day Events
the time of trouble, are clearly presented. But multitudes have no more
understanding of these important truths than if they had never been
revealed.—

Last Day Prophecies Demand Our Attention
I then saw the third angel [
Revelation 14:9-11
]. Said my accom-
panying angel, “Fearful is his work. Awful is his mission. He is the
angel that is to select the wheat from the tares and seal, or bind, the
wheat for the heavenly garner. These things should engross the whole
mind, the whole attention.”—
Early Writings, 118
(1854).
We shall have to stand before magistrates to answer for our alle-
giance to the law of God, to make known the reasons of our faith. And
the youth should understand these things.
They should know the things that will come to pass before the
closing up of the world’s history. These things concern our eter-
nal welfare, and teachers and students should give more attention to
them.—
Testimonies for the Church 6:128, 129

Those who place themselves under God’s control, to be led and
guided by Him, will catch the steady tread of the events ordained by
Him to take place.—

We are to see in history the fulfillment of prophecy, to study the
workings of Providence in the great reformatory movements, and to
understand the progress of events in the marshaling of the nations for
the final conflict of the great controversy.—
Testimonies for the Church

(1904).
Study the Books of Daniel and Revelation Especially
There is need of a much closer study of the Word of God; especially
should Daniel and the Revelation have attention as never before.... The
light that Daniel received from God was given especially for these last
days.—
Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 112, 113
(1896).
Let us read and study the twelfth chapter of Daniel. It is a warning
that we shall all need to understand before the time of the end.—
