    The Church Takes the “Good News” to the World

    These prophecies are being fulfilled today in the unenlightened regions of earth. The prophet compared gospel workers to banners set up to guide those looking for the light of truth: “It shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left. ... He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” Isaiah 11:11, 12.RR 136.1

    Among all nations the Lord sees men and women praying for light. They grope as if blind. But they are honest in heart. With no knowledge of the written law of God or of His Son Jesus, their lives show the working of a divine power on mind and character. At times those who have no knowledge of God other than what they have received through divine grace have protected His servants at the risk of their own lives. The Holy Spirit is implanting the grace of Christ in the hearts of many noble seekers after truth, awakening their sympathies contrary to their former education. The “Light which gives light to every man” (John 1:9) is shining in their minds, and, if heeded, will guide their feet to the kingdom of God.RR 136.2

    God will not permit anyone to be disappointed who longs for something higher and nobler than anything the world can offer. Constantly He is sending His angels to those who, surrounded by discouraging circumstances, pray in faith for some power higher than themselves to bring deliverance and peace. In various ways God will place them in touch with events He has arranged that will establish their confidence in the One who has given Himself a ransom for all.RR 136.3

    Unto all “the upright” in every land “there arises light in the darkness.” Psalm 112:4. God has spoken: “I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight.” Isaiah 42:16.RR 136.4
