October 24th -- Daniel 2
GOD RULES
"GOD ruleth in the kingdom of men and giveth it to whomsoever He will." It is this that imparts to political occurrences the character of "signs of the times," in the discernments of such as are enlightened in the scriptures of truth. These occurrences, which to the natural man are the fortuitous changes of the hour, are to the other class the open and public expression of the secret and divine will which is moulding all public affairs, with a view to the appointed climax when all things will be gathered together under one head, even Christ. The recognition of this fact makes all the difference between the mere paper point of view, which is that of scientific Paganism, and the point of view of the Scriptures, from which we are able to see things as they appear to Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will, and who is guiding them to a determined end -- even the end proclaimed in the gospel of the kingdom and the promises made to the fathers in the beginning.
