DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 3 – The Seven Churches (continued)
be “forever and ever.” Daniel 7:18, 27. How

can any earthly object divert our gaze from

this durable and heavenly prospect?

Thus close the messages to the seven

churches. How pointed and searching their

testimony! What lessons do they contain for

all Christians in all ages! It is as true with the

last church as with the first, that all their

works are known to Him who walks in the

midst of the seven golden candlesticks. From

his scrutinizing gaze nothing can be hidden.

And while his threatenings to the hypocrites

and evil workers, as in justice they may be, are

awful, how ample, how comforting, how

gracious, how glorious, his promises to those

who love and follow him with singleness of

heart!
