In the book of Daniel, the angel Gabriel commanded Daniel to close the book and seal it until the time of the end. For centuries it would be closed to the understanding of God’s people until the last days. Now let’s go to the book of Revelation. In it there is a vision of which John writes: “I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven … he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth.” Revelation 10:1, 2. Here is a vision of the last days when this mighty messenger finally comes to open the book of Daniel for earth’s inhabitants. What is the specific message of which this angel reveals out of the little book? John writes: “And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever … that there should be time no longer.” Verse 6. Here we are informed of the end of time, that is prophetic time. The longest prophetic time in the whole Bible is found in Daniel 8:14. “Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” This prophetic time reached its conclusion in the year AD 1844. From that year until now, the last message of warning has been proclaimed in all the world. Brethren, the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation should be read and understood by all. These books are still opened; they are not sealed. The events predicted therein are fast reaching their conclusion. Are you studying these prophecies, and are you ready for the final events of which they predict?
