That’s our dilemma today. We ache for a meaningful place to make a stand in the world—and we are afraid of finding it inhabited by fanatics.

Fortunately God has prepared a special message for us in these times. God has frequently given special messages to meet the needs of different generations: a message to help Adam and Eve after sin ruined their world, a message to the world before the cataclysm of the flood, messages for Israel when Assyria or Babylon threatened.

Jesus came with a special message for His generation, and He has a special message for our day that gives us a place to stand. We find it in the Bible in the prophetic books of Daniel and Revelation. Chapters 12 and 14 of Revelation summarize God’s special message for us today. In this DISCOVER guide and the guide that follows, we will take a look at that message.
