Böcker av Uriah Smith

As we draw closer to the second coming of Christ, the line between good and evil becomes blurred as evil masquerades as good, disguised in popular entertainment, communication and innocent pleasures. Since the early days of witchcraft, modern spiritualism now offers lighter options including so-called harmless psychics, Wicca organizations and the ever-famous Magic-8 ball and Ouija board. Spiritualism offers power, knowledge, reuniting with deceased loved ones and the thrill of the unknown. It has offered hope to those in despair and strength to the weak. But the questions we must ask are - has it any of these promises? Are we being decieved or are we selling stock options in our soul to the Prince of Darkness himself? In the Bible we find the solemn warning that in the last days, evil influences will be let loose upon the world; false pretensions will be urged upon the midst of men, and deceptions, based up by preternatural sugns and wonders, will develop to such a degree of strength, that if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect. Is it possible that Spiritualism may be the very development of evil, against which this warning is directed?

During the 1800's, Uriah Smith engaged himself in the monumental task of deciphering the prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation.Guided by the Holy Spirit, historical events unfolded to his mind in the prophetic context of the word as he studied deeply into the writings and accounts of reliable historians. Step by step, a foundational platform of truth was established and solid principles of prophetic interpretation were plainly set forth.Ellen G. White was shown that this book in particular was written under inspiration and would prove instrumental in spreading the light of the third angel's message to the world. She emphasised the necessity of strictly adhering to the interpretations of these prophecies as laid out by Uriah Smith in this book.
