God. The Holy Spirit has so shaped matter, both in the giving of the prophecy and in the events portrayed as to teach that the human agent is to be kept out of sight, hidden Christ, and that the Lord God of heaven and his law are to be exalted. Read the book of Daniel, call up point by point the history of the kingdoms there represented. Behold statesmen, councils, powerful armies, and see how God wrought to abase the pride of men and lay human glory in the dust. The light that Daniel received from God was given especially for these last days.

The following sequence, which we take up in our next presentation, is the final revival, paralleling what we are going to be involved in in the very near future. So the sequence is there.
