"In the great closing work we shall meet with perplexities that we know not how to deal with, but let us not forget that the three great powers of heaven are working, that a divine hand is on the wheel, and that God will bring His purposes to pass.
The time will come when we shall be brought before councils and before thousands for His name's sake, and each one will have to give the reason of his faith.
Every position of truth taken by our people will bear the criticism
of the greatest minds; the highest of the world's great men will be brought in contact with truth, and therefore every position we take should be critically examined and tested by the Scriptures. Now we seem to be unnoticed, but this will not always be. Movements are at work to bring us to the front, and if our theories of truth can be picked to pieces by historians or the world's greatest men, it will be done.
The Lord Jesus will give the disciples a tongue and wisdom that their adversaries can neither gainsay nor resist.
Words will come from the lips of the unlearned with such convincing power and wisdom that conversions will be made to the truth. Thousands will be converted under their testimony.
Why should the illiterate man have this power, which the learned man has not?
*The illiterate one, through faith in Christ, has come into the atmosphere of pure, clear truth,
*while the learned man has turned away from the truth."
Maranatha p.253 E.G.W.

But God hath chosen the foolish things
of the world to confound the wise;
of the world to confound the wise;
and God hath chosen the weak things
of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
