Tuesday: Daniel—Shut Up the Words

March 31, 2025 By admin

Daily Lesson for Tuesday 1st of April 2025

Read Daniel 12:4. What was the Lord telling Daniel here? (Contrast this with Revelation 22:10.)

It is not uncommon to hear preachers use Daniel 12:4 to predict the rise of technological and scientific knowledge just prior to the advent of Christ. Many also use it to describe the advances in rapid travel that have taken place over the past century or so. Many of our own books have taken this approach. Though certainly reasonable interpretations, it might mean something else, as well.

Read the passage again. The angel’s instruction to Daniel begins with an injunction to “shut up the words, and seal the book.” The subject being discussed is the book of Daniel itself. Perhaps, then, could that knowledge which would suddenly increase at the end of time be knowledge of the book of Daniel itself?

William Miller Preaching

Image © Review & Herald Publishing at Goodsalt.com

This makes the book of Daniel somewhat different from Revelation, in that John was told not to seal his book (Revelation 22:10). Revelation was meant to be understood from the first, because “ ‘the time [was] at hand.’ ” In contrast, Daniel would be understood more clearly at some point in the distant future.

Over the centuries, many fine Christian thinkers attempted to explain the book of Daniel, and some made great headway. Understanding of Daniel increased rapidly, however, after the end of the 1,260–year prophecy, which ended in 1798, when multiple expositors around the globe started concluding that something spectacular was going to happen around 1843. The most notable of these, however, was William Miller, whose preaching launched the Great Advent Movement of the nineteenth century and began a chain of events that would give birth to the “remnant” church and a clear understanding of the three angels’ messages.

The birth of our global movement, in other words, is a fulfillment of Daniel’s prediction that “knowledge shall increase” at “the time of the end.”

In contrast, and without judging people’s salvation, think about the “darkness” that so much of Christendom exists in. Something as basic as the seventh-day Sabbath, established in Eden, is ignored, even dismissed, in favor of Sunday, a day rooted in Roman paganism. Or think of the utter ignorance about death, with the vast majority of Christians believing the pagan idea that the dead immediately go soaring off to another existence, which for some means an eternally burning hell.

In contrast, we should be thankful—and humbled—by the knowledge of the truth.

Lesson 1.Some Principles of Prophecy | 1.2 God Wants to Be Understood | ALLUSIONS, IMAGES, SYMBOLS | LIVING FAITH

March 30, 2025 By admin

📘 Lesson 1 – Some Principles of Prophecy

1.2 God Wants to Be Understood

A Clear God in a Confused World


🟦 Introduction – When Communication Becomes a Challenge

Few things are more frustrating than urgently needing to communicate — for example, in a hospital in a foreign country — and realizing you don’t have the language to do so.

Sometimes, faith feels similar: we know God speaks, but do we really understand Him?

The Bible clearly says:

“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:9).

God is infinite; we are limited — and yet He wants us to understand what truly matters:
His love, His plan of salvation, and His invitation to relationship.


📖 Bible Study – What Does Scripture Say About God’s Insight?

  • Psalm 139:1–6: God knows us completely — even our unspoken thoughts.

  • Psalm 147:5: His wisdom is beyond measure.

  • Romans 11:33: His ways and thoughts are deep and unsearchable.

  • 1 John 3:20: God is greater than our hearts — and He knows everything.

📌 Key Message:
God is all-knowing — but He does not want to remain hidden.
He speaks in a language that our hearts can understand, especially when it comes to salvation.


✨ Spiritual Principles – Understanding What Truly Matters

  • We will never fully grasp God — but enough to be saved.
    (2 Timothy 3:14–15)

  • Prophecy is not for speculation, but for revealing Jesus.
    It helps us recognize the plan of redemption.

  • God wants everyone, even the lowliest, to understand His offer.
    That’s why He speaks clearly, lovingly, invitingly.

  • Understanding begins with relationship, not intellect.
    The depth of God is revealed to those who truly seek Him.


🧭 Life Application – How Do I Deal with Not Knowing Everything?

  • Focus on what God has already revealed to you.
    ➤ Live it, share it, trust Him in it.

  • Don’t let unanswered questions paralyze you.
    ➤ Faith doesn’t mean knowing everything — it means trusting the One who does.

  • Trust God’s clarity — despite your limitations.
    ➤ You don’t have to understand it all to live rightly.

  • Be faithful in the little things.
    ➤ Obedience in daily life opens the way to deeper understanding.


✅ Conclusion – God Reveals Himself to Be Known

We will never fully comprehend God’s thoughts —
but we can grasp what matters:

  • Jesus Christ as Savior

  • God’s Word as clear revelation

  • Prophecy as an invitation to hope

Don’t hide behind “not knowing” — live in the light of what you do know.

God speaks so that He may be understood.


💬 Thought of the Day

You don’t have to understand everything — but you are invited to trust the One who understands you completely.


✍ Illustration – To Be Understood

It was a chilly Tuesday evening in Berlin.
The windows of the small apartment fogged up slowly as Mira, 27, tried to make her way through a chapter of Revelation.

She hadn’t grown up religious. Theology had always been a topic in books — not in life.
But for a few months now, one thought hadn’t let her go:

“If God really speaks — why have I never heard Him?”

She had bought a simple Bible, downloaded an app, and subscribed to a podcast called “Prophecy for Beginners.”
And there she was — somewhere between daily chaos, university stress, and relationship drama — reading lines that felt strange, yet surprisingly familiar.

“Whoever has ears, let them hear…”

She scoffed quietly.

“I am listening — but what does any of this mean?”

A few hours later, still unsettled on the bus, the thought that God might truly know her wouldn’t leave her alone.
Not just her performance, her thoughts — but her heart.

Back home, she opened her Bible again.

Psalm 139.

“LORD, You have searched me and known me…”

Her fingers trembled slightly.

“You understand my thoughts from afar.”

She wept.
Not because she understood everything — but because, for the first time, she felt understood.

Maybe this was the beginning.
Not of “seeing it all clearly” —
but of trust.

“For God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.” (1 John 3:20)

And Mira knew:
She would keep asking.
Keep reading.
But not to take control —
rather, to listen.

Because she had come to understand:

God doesn’t speak to confuse —
He speaks to reach.

And she had been reached.

31.03.2025 – Revelation Chapter 6 | BELIEVE HIS PROPHETS

March 30, 2025 By admin

March 31, 2024
DAILY BIBLE READING – Offenbarung Chapter 6
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
King James Version. Public Domain

 

Commentary
🟦 Introduction
Chapter 6 of Revelation is one of the most impressive and at the same time most startling sections of the Bible. Here the Lamb – Jesus Christ – begins to open the book with the seven seals that contain God’s plan for judgment and the completion of history. The first six seals reveal a dramatic sequence of events: wars, unrest, economic distress, death, persecution, and cosmic upheavals. Yet amid all the chaos it becomes clear: It is the Lamb who is in control.
🟨 Commentary
1.The First Four Seals – The Four Apocalyptic Riders (Verses 1–8)
Each of the first four seals brings forth a horse with a rider – images for great powers and global developments:
  • White Horse: Conquest and victory – possibly an image of power, ideology, or even a deceptive peace.
  • Red Horse: War – peace is taken from the earth, and violence prevails.
  • Black Horse: Economic distress – symbolized by a scale, expensive food prices, and selective protection of luxury goods such as oil and wine.
  • Pale Horse: Death – followed by death and Hades, and a quarter of the earth is plagued by various means of death.
🔍 Meaning: These riders represent the fundamental sufferings of humanity – political greed for power, war, injustice, death. But they do not come out of nowhere: They are unleashed by the Lamb. This shows that even in difficult times, nothing happens without God’s knowledge and permission.
2.The Fifth Seal – The Voices of the Martyrs (Verses 9–11)
Beneath the altar, John sees the souls of those who have died for their faith. They cry out for justice and judgment. Yet God tells them: The time has not yet come. They are to rest – in white robes of righteousness – until even the last of their brethren have completed the path of martyrdom.
🔍 Meaning: Amidst suffering and injustice, heaven calls for patience. God’s judgment is delayed – not out of weakness, but out of grace. The faithfulness of the martyrs is not forgotten, but honored.
3.The Sixth Seal – Cosmic Upheaval and the Fear of the World (Verses 12–17)
Upon opening the sixth seal, a tremendous earthquake shakes both heaven and earth. The sun and moon change, the stars fall, the heavens vanish, and mountains and islands are moved. The mighty of the earth – kings, empires, rulers – hide in fear of the wrath of the Lamb.
🔍 Meaning: The day of wrath is not a blind outburst of anger, but the moment when God’s justice becomes visible. People realize: We stand before the living God – and nothing can save us except grace.
🟩 Summary
Revelation 6 shows the reality of a fallen world – characterized by unrest, war, economic injustice, death, and persecution. But these catastrophes do not occur chaotically. The Lamb – Christ – is the one who opens the seals. He stands above history.
The first six seals remind us: The world is moving toward a turning point where God will establish justice. The cry of the martyrs highlights the tension between patience and the longing for justice. And in the end, the world asks: “Who can withstand?” – a question that Chapter 7 prepares to answer.
🟥 Message for Us Today
In a world full of crises, uncertainty, and apparent disorientation, Revelation 6 reminds us: God is in control – even when everything falls apart.
Faith does not call us to explain all catastrophes, but to trust in the Lamb who directs history.
➡ For us today this means:
  • Do not be ruled by fear – Christ is the victor.
  • Live vigilantly – history is moving toward a goal.
  • Stand firm in your faith – even when persecution or rejection comes.
  • Hold on to hope – God’s justice will prevail.
And above all: Ask yourself the question that the world asks in the end:
👉 “Who can withstand?” – And then answer in faith:
✝ Only he who entrusts himself to the Lamb.
“The Lord knows his own.” (2 Timothy 2:19)

 

 

WEEKLY SPIRIT OF PROPHECY READING – Ellen White | Steps to Christ
Chapter 11—The Privilege of Prayer

Read online here

 

Commentary
🟦 Introduction
Prayer is more than a religious duty or a fleeting cry for help in times of need—it is the bridge between the human heart and the throne of God. In chapter 11 we recognize that prayer is not only possible, but a grace-gift, an incomparable privilege, and a means of communion with the almighty, loving Father. However, this gift often remains unutilized—to the detriment of our spiritual life.
🟨 Commentary
1.The Necessity of Prayer (Paragraphs 1–4)
God speaks to us in many ways—through nature, word, providence, and spirit.
Yet without our personal response in prayer, this relationship remains incomplete.
Prayer is more than talking—it is opening one’s heart and moving toward God.
2.Jesus’ Example in Prayer (Paragraphs 5–6)
Jesus Himself—sinless and divine—felt the need for prayer.
He sought the Father in solitude, bore our weaknesses, and served as a model for intercession.
If the Son of God prayed—how much more do we need prayer!
3.God’s Willingness to Hear (Paragraphs 7–10)
God longs to bless us—and we pray so little!
The angels can hardly comprehend this restraint—for they experience prayer as the highest joy.
Without prayer, we lose the connection to heaven and become defenseless against temptations.
4.Conditions for Prayer Answering (Paragraphs 11–18)
An honest longing for God, repentance, confession, and forgiveness toward others.
Faith is essential—even when visible answers are absent.
God hears—and responds at the right time to the true needs of our hearts.
5.The Power of Personal and Constant Prayer (Paragraphs 19–25)
Prayer in the quiet inner room holds special value.
A continual heart-connection with God is possible—even amid everyday life.
Examples such as Enoch or Nehemiah show: true prayer is an uninterrupted way of life.
6.The Danger of Neglected Prayer (Paragraphs 26–30)
A lack of prayer leads to estrangement from God and weakens our spiritual life.
We should combine the fellowship of believers, devotion, and service.
Those who isolate themselves or only pray without acting lose the joy of prayer.
7.The Joy of Prayer and Praise (Paragraphs 31–End)
Thanksgiving should be a central part of the prayer life.
God desires our worship to be marked by joy, trust, and love—not by fear.
Praise and thanksgiving open the heart to new blessings.
🟩 Summary
Prayer is a sacred grace-gift through which we can stand in intimate communion with God. It is the “key in the hand of faith” that opens the treasure chamber of heaven. Prayer is indispensable for the spiritual life, yet its power unfolds only under certain conditions: humility, faith, forgiveness, and perseverance. Christ Himself was a perfect example to us—and invites us to find strength, comfort, and divine closeness in prayer.
🟥 Message for Us Today
In a world full of noise, distraction, and uncertainty, prayer remains our direct connection to heaven.
📜 “Ask, and it will be given to you…” (Matthew 7:7)
God is waiting to commune with us—not as a distant judge, but as a loving Father. Prayer does not change God, but changes us: our trust grows, our vision clarifies, our heart becomes quiet and receptive to the working of His Spirit.
👉 What does this mean for you today?
Take time for quiet prayer. Not as an obligation, but as a source of comfort and strength.
Stay connected with God in everyday life. Let your heart speak to Him often—in thought, in whispers, in silence.
Trust in His response—even if it comes differently than expected.
Forgive others. How can we ask God for grace if we harbor unforgiveness ourselves?
Praise God! Thanksgiving transforms our hearts—and makes us receptive to further blessings.
🌿 Prayer is not merely talking with God—it is living with God.
Let us learn to live in the light of this grace-gift.

Monday: God Wants to Be Understood

March 30, 2025 By admin

Daily Lesson for Monday 31st of March 2025

Nothing is quite as frustrating as urgently needing to communicate, perhaps at a clinic or pharmacy, while in a foreign country where you barely speak the language. You know what you need to say, but you do not have an adequate vocabulary to say it.

With God, a different problem emerges. “ ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth,’ ” He says, “ ‘so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts’ ” (Isaiah 55:9, NKJV). The problem isn’t that God doesn’t have the vocabulary to communicate with us; the problem is that we don’t have the vocabulary or intellectual capacity to understand Him fully.

What do the following passages suggest about God’s understanding in comparison to our own?

Psalms 139:1-6

Psalms 147:5

Romans 11:33

1 John 3:20

The truth of the matter is that we will never fully understand the mind of God because He is infinite and omniscient. After all, we can barely understand everything about the creation; how would we fully understand its Creator? We can’t.

Jessu Guiding a Child

Though we will never understand everything, we can understand what is necessary for our salvation. (See 2 Timothy 3:14-15.) When the apostles explained the gospel to their audiences, they frequently referred to fulfilled prophecy, from which we can deduce that one of the key purposes of prophecy is to illustrate the plan of salvation. Indeed, in the end, Bible prophecy must ultimately, in one way or another, lead us to Jesus and the promise of salvation that He offers to all humanity.

After all, the Lord, through whom all things were created (see Colossians 1:16, John 1:1-3), comes down to this earth and then offers Himself as a sacrifice on the cross for the sins of every human being, even the most wretched. That is how much God loves all of us. Having done all that for us, the Lord would obviously want everyone, wretches included, to know what He offers us in Jesus. And prophecy can do just that.

Though, yes, there is much that we don’t know, why is it crucial to focus now on what we do know and to follow what we know—as opposed to obsessing over what we don’t know?
