Patriarchs and Prophets
Prophets and Kings
The Desire of Ages
Acts of The Apostles
The Great Controversy begins with the story of the
Destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman Armies about 40 years after Jesus
returned to heaven upon His Resurrection. It then goes into the history of the
Persecution of Christians and the Dark Ages.
Some of my most favorite chapters are ones that deal with
several of the Reformers; John Wycliffe, Hus, Jerome, Luther and numerous
others. The book shows how the Reformers discovered the biblical teaching of
Salvation through Jesus Christ alone; a truth that had been rather hidden for
many hundreds of years.
There is quite a bit of material drawn from the Prophecy
books of the bible; Daniel and the Revelation.
I really like the book finale that tells about how Evil and
Satan are finally destroyed, and God creates a new earth for those who have
accepted His way of living to dwell in forever,
The final paragraph from this book is as follows:
The great controversy is ended. Sin
and sinners are no more. The entire universe is clean. One pulse of harmony and
gladness beats through the vast creation. From Him who created all, flow life
and light and gladness, throughout the realms of illimitable space. From the
minutest atom to the greatest world, all things, animate and inanimate, in
their unshadowed beauty and perfect joy, declare that God is love.
