May 1, 1969 Vol. 146 No. 18 REVIEW AND HERALD • GENERAL CHURCH PAPER OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS

"Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God." Psalm 90:2. Last-Day Events-1

The Great Day

"The great day of the Lord is near, near and hastening fast" (Zeph. 1:14, R.S.V.)

Is ENTURIES ago Zephaniah proclaimed a message identical to that which Seventh-day Adventists C have heralded to the world since 1844. Note the prophet's further somber and tragic pen picture concerning the times: "A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and Near devastation" (Zeph. 1:15, 16, RS.V.). Then he admon- ishes God's people to "come together and hold assembly, . . . seek the Lord, . . . seek righteousness, seek humility" (Zeph. 2:1-3, R.S.V.). And to those who respond to this invitation, Zepha- niah promises, "The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness. . . . At that time I will bring you home" (Zeph. By RALPH S. WATTS 3:17, 20, R.S.V.). (Italics supplied.) "His [Zephaniah's] prophecies of impending judgment upon Judah apply with equal force to the judgments that are to fall upon an impenitent world at the time of the second advent of Christ."—Prophets and Kings, p. 389. What a glorious time in which to live—the days preceding "the great day of the Lord"! Never has knowledge reached such stupendous propor- tions as it has for this present generation—knowledge which, if rightly used, could help prepare the world for "the great day of the Lord." But it is a sobering reality that the press and other news media almost continually blare. forth world developments that if unchecked could lead to mankind's eventual annihilation. One international crisis follows another, thus creating an almost un- bearable suspense. With efforts for world peace failing to congeal; war tension and economic instability bringing about a global mess; and millions perishing annually from hunger and disease, war, and disaster; serious-minded men cannot but "recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place—that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis" (ibid., p. 537). A Priceless Gift Through the gift of divine inspiration Seventh-day Ad- ventists possess the key to future events. God has given us inside information—a "news service" of a type that should be ardently coveted by newscasters. But they have an inbred skeptical attitude toward anyone predicting events that have not yet happened.

One path leads away from God to one disaster after another; the other, the direct route of acceptance of whatever comes, is paved with the words "I know that He will bring me home." Those lacking a heart touch with Christ will balk at the persecuting troubles that may beset them; but those who have climbed to the top rung of Christian achievement—a quiet but firm, abiding faith, even in the midst of extreme difficulty—will heroically serve as instruments, rather than victims, of Providence. They will never question God's design for them to show forth His praise and bear witness to His saving power in their own lives. With eyes fixed on the higher glory as revealed by inspiration, they will transmute whatever pain they may endure into joy unspeakable, permit- ting divine discipline to resolve the dissonances of their lives into one glorious chord of eternal harmony. "It is God's purpose that His people shall be a sanctified, purified, holy people, communicating light to all around them. It is His purpose that, by exem- plifying the truth in their lives, they shall be a praise in the earth.
