Daily Lesson for Monday 2nd of June 2025

Peter reminds us that many will be unprepared for Christ’s return because they “willfully forget” (2 Peter 3:5, NKJV) what happened at the Flood. Today, even though the world has a collective memory of a great deluge (an astonishing number of global cultures tell the story of a devastating flood, from the ancient Greeks to the Mayans), the story of Noah is today perhaps one of the most ridiculed of the Bible’s accounts. As predicted, the world is willfully setting the story aside as a myth, no matter how clearly and explicitly it is depicted in the Old Testament and referred to numerous times in the New Testament.

There is another important lesson for God’s last-day remnant people that emerges from careful study. Hebrews 11:7 tells us that Noah “prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith” (NKJV).

Imagine preaching for more than a century with nothing to show for it but your own family in the ark. If Noah had been a modern evangelist, we might be tempted to write him off as a failure: decades of preaching and what would appear to be no results.

Fortunately, at the moment, many parts of the world are very responsive to the three angels’ messages. Evangelistic outreach—the preaching of our unique remnant message—is proving incredibly effective in many places, and many are coming to know the Lord. We have not yet reached the point where there are no results, although we have been told the moment is coming when “probation will close, and the door of mercy will be shut. Thus in the one short sentence, ‘They that were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut,’ we are carried down through the Saviour’s final ministration, to the time when the great work for man’s salvation shall be completed.”—Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, p. 428.

Until then, we have a work to do as a church.

To learn of the “Allusions, Images and Symbols” in Bible Prophecy we are really in great need of saying to God 
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272 so we are able to learn with His abundant help. This will be our theme for this, the second quarter of Bible Study, 2025.

 We are given great encouragement in the introduction (Sabbath afternoon) to this week’s studies when we see that Christ is the centre and foundation “of all our prophetic endeavours”: 
Hymn 235 – Christ Is Made The Sure Foundation and 
Hymn 348 – The Church Has One Foundation.

Rather than being with the people who are questioning “Who is able to stand?”  (Sunday), we are able to be found 
Standing On The Promise – Hymn 578 and that we 
Trust And Obey – Hymn 590. The story of Noah then unfolds encouraging us to be prepared for the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus because 
We Know Not The Hour – Hymn 604. With all of this in our minds we can truly say 
I Know Whom I Have Believed – Hymn 511.

To help encourage more people in our poor old world to know and understand our gracious God, and our wonderful Saviour, Jesus, let us 
Go, Preach My Gospel – Hymn 378. Let us be found 
Working, O Christ, For Thee – Hymn 582 and 
Work For The Night Is Coming – Hymn 375.

Wednesday and Thursday remind us that 
The Judgment Has Set – Hymn 416, with the ending on Thursday reminding us 
Jesus, Your Blood And Righteousness – Hymn 177 – “His perfect righteousness alone gets His people through judgment.”

Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.

To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/

Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org/Search and in the search bar type a special word that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
