40. Maranatha Our Lord Is Coming: Any Idols Here? February 9, by Ellen G White

The doctrine of the second advent is the very keynote of the sacred Scriptures,” Declared, Ellen G. White, the author of the inspired messages selected for this devotional volume. “About his coming cluster the glories of that ‘restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. Then the long-continued rule of evil shall be broken; ‘the kingdoms of this world’ will become ‘the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall Reign for Ever and Ever.

We believe that this devotional volume, the eleventh spirit of prophecy devotional book, with its accent on fulfilled and fulfilling prophecies, is timely. The material is straightforward, frank, and stirring. The message should bring an awakening of the truest kind, stirring the reader to awareness concerning the second-advent theme so dear to all of our hearts, and preparation for that event. It is our prayer that many will be sealed with the seal of the living God and enabled to pass through the time of trouble and meet the coming king in peace as a result of applying these readings to their lives. Maranatha—Our Lord is coming!
