The Bible is the most ancient and the most comprehensive history that men possess.
It came fresh from the fountain of eternal truth, and throughout the ages a divine hand has preserved its purity. It lights up the far-distant past, where human research in vain seeks to penetrate.
The Bible reveals the true philosophy of history.
In those words of matchless beauty and tenderness spoken by the apostle Paul to the sages of Athens is set forth God's purpose in the creation and distribution of races and nations: He hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him. Acts 17:26, 27.
God declares that whosoever will may come into the bond of the covenant. Ezekiel 20:37.
The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. They are watching the strained, restless relations that exist among the nations.
They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place--that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.
The Bible, and the Bible only, gives a correct view of these things.
Here are revealed the great final scenes in the history of our world, events that already are casting their shadows before....as before the world's first destruction, men are absorbed in the pleasures and the pursuits of sense. Engrossed with the seen and transitory, they have lost sight of the unseen and eternal. For the things that perish with the using, they are sacrificing imperishable riches.
To every nation and to every individual of today God has assigned a place in His great plan.
