The unbelieving and godless do not discern the signs of the time. In ignorance they may refuse to accept the inspired record. But when professed Christians speak sneeringly of the means employed by the great I AM to make his purposes known, they show themselves to be ignorant both of the Scriptures and of the power of God. The Creator knows just what elements he has to deal with in human nature. He knows what means to employ to obtain the desired end. The Christian who accepts the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, will look at Bible history in its true bearing. The history of the Jewish economy from beginning to end, though spoken of contemptuously and sneered at as "the dark ages," will reveal light, and still more light, as it is studied.

De ikke-troende og gudløse ser ikke tidernes tegn. I deres uvidenhed nægter de at acceptere den inspirerede skrift. Men Når bekendende kristne taler bespottende om de midler der bruge af den store ”Jeg er” for at gøre Hans fortsæt kendt, viser de at de selv hverken kender til skrifterne eller til Guds kraft. Skaberen ved præcis hvilke elementer han har at gøre med i menneskenaturen. Han ved hvilke midler der skal til for at opnå det ønskede udfald. Den kristne som accepterer sandheden, hele sandheden, og intet andet end sandheden, vil se på Bibelberetningen i dets sande væsen. Beretningen om jødernes husholdning fra begyndelse til ende, som omtales som håneligt og bespottelig som ”de mørke tider,” vil åbenbare lys, og endnu mere lys, som det studeres.
