What the Night of Persecution will Reveal

"The days are fast approaching when there will be great perplexity
and confusion. Satan, clothed in angel robes, will deceive, if possible, the very elect. 
The Scriptures, pointing forward to this time, declare that Satan will work with all power and "with all deceivableness of unrighteousness." 2 Thessalonians 2:9, 10.

Every wind of doctrine will be blowing.

*Those who have proved themselves unfaithful will not then be entrusted with the flock.
In the last solemn work few great men will be engaged. They are self-sufficient, independent of God, and He cannot use them.

*The Lord has faithful servants, who in the shaking, testing time will be disclosed to view.
There are precious ones now hidden who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
They have not had the light which has been shining in a concentrated blaze upon you. But it may be under a rough and uninviting exterior the pure brightness of a genuine Christian character will be revealed.

In the day time we look toward heaven
but do not see the stars.
They are there, fixed in the firmament,
but the eye cannot distinguish them.
In the night we behold their genuine luster."
E.G.W.
