While Angels Hold the Winds

While the world is seething with discontent and turmoil, the angels, bearing the commission of the Almighty, are still holding the winds of strife, that they should not blow in their intensity upon the world until the servants of God have been sealed in their foreheads. When they cease to hold the winds of strife, when the bloodthirsty dogs of war have been unleashed to do their last terrible work, the work of this people will be practically at an end. Now is our time and opportunity. While the angels hold the winds, let us sow the world with the seeds of the message. That is what the winds are being held for, and the purpose of God will be accomplished — if not by you and me, then by some one else raised up to take our places and wear our crowns. God forbid that any of us who have known this truth should lose the promised reward by proving unfaithful to our trust.
