The Spirit of Prophecy Vol. 4 (Ellen G. White) 1884

of great interest and importance which it would not have contained had it been published sooner. And still this volume does not give all that the writer has to present on the closing scenes of this dispensation. Some matters which could not possibly be inserted in this work (space being limited), will be published separately. As it is, this book is larger than was intended.

We have faith that the merciful Father is in kindness bestowing upon His waiting people the light and instruction which they specially need in the perils of the last days. God is willing to give His Spirit to those who ask Him, to those who call upon Him in truth. We believe that the writer has received the illumination of the Holy Spirit in preparing these pages,—in laying before us the nature of the great controversy between Christ and Satan, that we may be warned against the snares of the enemy, and prepared for an inheritance with the saints in light.

While many subjects here presented are of wondrous depth,—relating to “the deep things of God,”—they are presented in language easy to be understood. And we are happy in knowing that the reading of these works leads to greater love for the Holy Scriptures, and to reverence for the God of grace, in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

That this volume may prove a blessing to all who read it, and redound to the glory of the most high, is the earnest prayer of the Publishers.
