BEREAN LIBRARY STUDY.

Rev. 1:1-20; “Thoughts on Revelation,” Pages 323-344.
As WE enter upon the study of the book of Revelation, we know of nothing more appropriate as an introduction than the following extract from the first-page article in the REVIEW AND HERALD, No. 15, 1888:—
“Make it a point when you have a moment’s leisure, to store your mind with Scripture truth, and especially with what is brought to view in the Revelation, because some of us are to be the very actors who will be on the stage in the last days when these things are revealed; and as you make a persistent effort to understand, the angels of God will enlighten your mind.”
Blessed promise that the angels will enlighten our minds, if we make persistent efforts to understand. Let us all enter upon the study of Revelation with a determination to prepare to stand in the battle of the great day.
