Today's reading is loaded... what with the Three Angel's Messages of Revelation 14. But I'm not going to attempt to delve into Revelation 14 today... I'm going to mention something very brief but very comforting of Nahum.
Here it is: "What do ye imagine against the Lord? He will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time." (Nah. 1:9)
Here in a nutshell verse, we can have hope that sin and all its horrible results will someday soon be no more, and it will never again rise up a second time.
Ellen White writes the following:
The whole universe will have become witnesses to the nature and results of sin. And its utter extermination, which in the beginning would have brought fear to angels and dishonor to God, will now vindicate His love and establish His honor before the universe of beings who delight to do His will, and in whose heart is His law. Never will evil again be manifest. Says the word of God: “Affliction shall not rise up the second time.” Nahum 1:9. The law of God, which Satan has reproached as the yoke of bondage, will be honored as the law of liberty. A tested and proved creation will never again be turned from allegiance to Him whose character has been fully manifested before them as fathomless love and infinite wisdom. (Great Controversy, p. 504)Praise the Lord! Once we are delivered, we are forever set free!
Tomorrow's Reading: Hab. 1-3 and Psalm 145
