Daily Lesson for Tuesday 27th of May 2025

Long term, the future is bright. Until then, humanity ceded dominion over the planet to Lucifer, and by the time Satan appeared at the heavenly council in Job, he boasted that this earth belonged to him.

“ ‘From where do you come?’ ” God asked.

“ ‘From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it,’ ” he replied (Job 1:7, NKJV).

Satan was declaring ownership; the foot was used in antiquity to represent ownership. “ ‘Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land,’ ” God instructed Abraham, “ ‘for I will give it to you’ ” (Genesis 13:17, ESV).

Talking about what Christ does at the end of the millennium, Ellen G. White wrote: “Christ descends upon the Mount of Olives, whence, after His resurrection, He ascended, and where angels repeated the promise of His return. Says the prophet: ‘The Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with Thee.’ ‘And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof, . . . and there shall be a very great valley.’ ‘And the Lord shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and His name one.’ Zechariah 14:4-5,9. As the New Jerusalem, in its dazzling splendor, comes down out of heaven, it rests upon the place purified and made ready to receive it, and Christ, with His people and the angels, enters the Holy City.”—The Great Controversy, Pages 662, 663.

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.

 Our Memory Text encourages us to “praise you, Our God”. We are able to do this in
Hymn 30 – O Praise Ye The Lord, 
Hymn 25 – Praise The Lord, His Glories Show, Alleluia, 
Hymn 26 – Praise The Lord, You Heavens Adore Him, 
Hymn 29 – Sing Praise To God Who Reigns Above and 
Hymn 30 – Holy God, We Praise Your Name, just name a few from our SDA Hymnal.

 God is “A Very Present Help in the Time of Trouble” says Sunday’s study time. We are encouraged in Psalm 46:10 “be still….” as does 
Hymn 461 – Be Still, My Soul with us knowing that we have 
A Mighty Fortress – Hymn 506 in our wonderful God. The study continues and shows us that 
Jesus Is Coming Again – Hymn 213.

With all the turmoil in the world, Monday climaxes in showing us that we can 
Hold Fast Til I Come – Hymn 600.

It is with gratefulness we can see that 
God Is My Strong Salvation – Hymn 339 (Friday), knowing that “Christ makes it possible for God’s face to shine on us”: 
Hymn 345 – Christ Is The World’s True Light because “God intends that we reflect His Light to the rest of the world”: 
Hymn 580 – This Little Light Of Mine I’m going to let it shine. We are able to do this splendidly when asking 
Jesus, Guide Our Way – Hymn 553 as it says on Friday – “Christ: He guides and empowers us”.

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 in 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.”

2. What is this telling us about the fate of the pre-Advent world?
3. Personal Application: Even though our world seems chaotic and out of control, how can we believe that things will work out for us if we remain faithful? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your relatives states, “What about those in other countries who haven’t heard or don’t want to listen to the Christian message? Are they going to be left to die outside of Christ if we don’t reach them, or is God going to take the work in His own hands?” How would you respond to your relative?

(Truth that is not lived, that is not imparted, loses its life-giving power, its healing virtue. Its blessings can be retained only as it is shared. ”Ministry of Healing, p. 148).
