Our Day / In the Light of Prophecy
JESUS WEEPING OVER JERUSALEM If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! Luke 19:42.
Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Rom. 15:4.

FOUNDED UPON A ROCK Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Ps. 119:105.
These are eventful times. With history-making changes passing rapidly before men's eyes, the questions press upon thoughtful minds in all lands, What do these things mean? What next in the program of world-shaping events?
Like a great searchlight shining across the centuries, the sure Word of Prophecy focuses its bright beams upon Our Day. In this light we see clearly the trend of events, and may understand what comes next in the program of history fulfilling prophecy.
In the Volume of the Book the living God speaks to Our Day of events of the past that have a lesson for the present, and of things to come. Divine prophecy fulfilled before men's eyes is God's challenge to unbelief. The Word of Holy Writ has been the guiding light through all the ages. It is the lamp to our feet today.
