You are not alone in the warfare against wrong. Could the curtain be rolled back, you would see heavenly angels fighting with you. This they must do; it is their work to guard the youth. „Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” Ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands of angels minister to the youth.
Angels are sent from the heavenly courts, not to destroy, but to watch over and guard imperiled souls, to save the lost, to bring the straying ones back to the fold. „I came not to condemn, but to save,” Christ declared. Have you, then, no pitying words to speak to the straying? Will you let them perish, or will you reach out to them a helping hand? Right around you there are souls who are in danger of perishing. Will you not with the cords of love draw them to the Saviour? Will you not cease your reproaches, and speak words that will inspire them with faith and courage?
God manifested His great care and love for His people in sending them bread from heaven. „Man did eat angels’ food”: that is, food provided for them by the angels.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE DIVINE SON OF GOD, EXISTED from eternity, a distinct person, YET ONE WITH THE FATHER. He was the surpassing glory of heaven. He was the commander of the heavenly intelligences, and the adoring homage of the angels was received by Him as His right.

CHRIST IS COMING WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY. He is coming with His own glory, and with the glory of the Father. He is coming with all the holy angels with Him. While all the world is plunged in darkness, there will be light in every dwelling of the saints. They will catch the first light of His second appearing.
Soon our eyes were drawn to the east, for a small black cloud had appeared, about half as large as a man’s hand, which we all knew was the sign of the Son of man. In solemn silence we all gazed on the cloud as it drew nearer, and became lighter, glorious, and still more glorious, till it was a great white cloud. The bottom appeared like fire; a rainbow was over the cloud, WHILE AROUND IT WERE TEN THOUSAND ANGELS, SINGING A MOST LOVELY SONG; AND UPON IT SAT THE SON OF MAN.
No human language can portray the scenes of the second coming of the Son of man in the clouds of heaven... He will come clad in the robe of light, which He has worn from the days of eternity.
A holy retinue OF ANGELS, with their bright, glittering crowns upon their heads, escorted HIM ON HIS WAY.
Amid the reeling of the earth, the flash of lightning, and the roar of thunder, the voice of the SON OF GOD CALLS FORTH THE SLEEPING SAINTS. He looks upon the graves of the righteous, then, raising His hands to heaven, HE CRIES, „AWAKE, AWAKE, AWAKE, YE THAT SLEEP IN THE DUST, AND ARISE!” ...
All come forth from their graves the same in stature as when they entered the tomb.
