    Divine Provision for the Remnant Need

    When “the day of the Lord,” and the coming of Christ “with power and great glory” (Matthew 24:30) is “nigh at hand,” the remnant church is to give warning, to “sound an alarm” to all the world. Joel 2:1.AGP 237.5

    It is through the remnant church that the “angel” seen by John in prophetic vision is to teach “to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” “the everlasting gospel,” and, in view of the arrival of “the hour of His judgment,” is to entreat the inhabitants of earth to “worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” Revelation 14:6, 7.AGP 237.6

    It is in the days when “darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people,” that the glory of the Lord is to restAGP 237.7

    upon His church, when the Gentiles shall come to her light, and kings to the brightness of her rising. (See Isaiah 60:2, 3.)AGP 238.1

    Surely we should conclude that at such a time and for such a task, God will equip His church with divine power, and furnish them with every facility for witnessing for Him. We have seen that the prophetic gift has been manifested in the church of God in preceding ages. But never has the need been greater than at this time. The enemy of all righteousness, knowing that his time is short, is to work with all deceivableness of unrighteousness. The church is called to a superhuman task. The prophetic word testifies that the remnant church should be especially blessed with the gift of prophecy, and we are glad to present the evidence, in the closing section of this volume, that God has fulfilled His word, and has granted in this “time of the end” the most remarkable manifestation of the prophetic gift since apostolic times.AGP 238.2

    For a better understanding of the appearance and manifestation of this gift in this period of the history of the church, it will be necessary to develop a picture of a great movement that occurred about the middle of the last century,—a movement and a spiritual awakening which prepared the way for God to choose an instrument as His mouthpiece, through whom to give counsel and instruction to His church, urging them to holy living, and guiding them in their final task of preaching the “gospel of the kingdom” in all the world.AGP 238.3
