Study Bible
M any Bible scholars have noted that God tends to send a proph-
et, or prophets, at the beginning, and also at the end, of the time
prophecies predicting His interventions in the affairs of this earth. The
following are major examples of this pattern.
In Daniel 9:24-27 is recorded the message of Daniel the prophet re-
garding seventy weeks, or 490 prophetic years, allotted to the Jewish
nation. It predicted that the Messiah would begin His ministry in a.d.
27. Just prior to this date, the prophet John the Baptist was sent of God
to draw the minds of the people to an understanding of the soon-to-be
-fulfilled time prophecy, and to prepare their hearts to receive the soon-
to-come Messiah—Jesus of Nazareth.
Thorough study reveals that this 490-year prophecy of Daniel is only
the first portion of the longest time prophecy of the Bible—the 2300-
day/year prediction recorded in Daniel 8:14. Following the same prin-
ciples of interpretation (which reveal how Jesus and His disciples ex-
actly fulfilled the time predictions of the seventy weeks prophecy), the
2300-day/year prophecy ended in 1844. It was then that Jesus our High
Priest began His investigative judgment in the heavenly sanctuary which
will end with the blotting out of the sins recorded there and to be quickly
followed by His second coming to this earth, this time as King of kings,
and Lord of lords.
Just as there was a special messenger to usher in the fulfillment of
the seventy-week prophecy, just so God raised up a messenger to usher
in the fulfillment of the prophesied events of the cleansing of the heav-
enly sanctuary and the soon-to-follow second coming of Christ. In 1842,
a young Methodist girl named Ellen Gould Harmon, who later became
Ellen G. White and one of the founders of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church, began having visions from the Lord. By the time of her death
in 1915, E. G. White had received some 2,000 visions and dreams and
was one of the most published authors of all time. Millions accept her
ministry and writings as that of a true messenger of the Lord. She con-
stantly points us to the Scriptures for the basis of our faith and practice.
She upholds Jesus as the center of all truth and the only One able to save
us from our sins.
She wrote five major volumes covering the past, present, and future
of this earth and the human race. These volumes have been judged by
many readers to be an inspired commentary on the Bible. Patriarchs and
Prophets covers the time from Creation and the beginning of sin and suf-
fering to the end of King David’s reign. Prophets and Kings continues
from King Solomon through the remainder of Old-Testament times. The
Desire of Ages vividly portrays the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth.
The Acts of the Apostles gives the account of the early Christian church
and those principally involved in its world-wide extension. The fifth vol-
ume, The Great Controversy, begins with the destruction of Jerusalem
in a.d. 70 and follows the struggles of truth with error down through
the Dark Ages into the Reformation period and the spiritual revivals of
the last two hundred years. The author clearly describes from the Bible
the long-lost truths regarding what happens at death; the perpetual na-
ture of God’s law; the seventh-day Sabbath; Christ’s atoning ministry
in the Heavenly Sanctuary; justification, sanctification, and glorification
through faith in Christ Jesus; and other truths essential for escaping the
deceptions of Satan in these last days. Emphasis is placed upon the great
prophecies of the books of Daniel and the Revelation. A clear description
is provided of the over-arching great controversy between Christ and
Satan, which began in heaven but is presently battling over the souls of
mankind and will be brought to an end here on this earth.
The above five volumes are center-referenced in this study Bible.
A mouse click on a reference will open the indicated volume to its ref-
erenced page. There the reader will find the respective Scripture verses
quoted, or alluded to, or comments that are related to it. It will be found
that these five volumes shed much clarifying light upon the Scripture.
Four other volumes by the same author are also referenced in the
center column. Christ’s Object Lessons brings out spiritual lessons from
the stories which Jesus told while on earth. Thoughts From the Mount
of Blessing focuses on the lessons from Christ’s sermon on the mount
as recorded in chapters five through seven of Matthew. Steps to Christ
has proven to be a great blessing to countless millions in how to come to
Christ and how to maintain that abiding presence in Him. The Ministry
of Healing guides us in how to apply Christ’s methods of ministry to
the body as well as to the soul in our ministry for Him in our home and
neighborhood.
The different colors of the center-column references indicate the fol-
lowing: The darker colors wine and black are for the featured five volumes of the
Conflict of the Ages series. The lighter shades are for the other referenced four vol-
umes. The black and gray indicate references appearing earlier in a given chapter.
The nine referenced volumes can be accessed not only by clicking on the cen-
ter-column references but also can be read in their entirety by going to their respec-
tive table of contents page at the bottom of the Bookmark panel of the Study Bible
The Bible, and all the other volumes, have the highlight, underline, select, copy,
paste, sticky notes, print, word and phrase search features. In the Bookmark panel,
you will also find the Table of Contents pages for Bible Readings for the Home
Circle. A mouse click will open the volume to the topic of your choice. This is an
electronic reproduction of the 1914 edition with nearly 300 hand drawn illustra-
tions and 200 readings in which are answered nearly 4,000 questions on important
Bible subjects.
The primary purpose of these ten commentary and reference volumes is to
facilitate all who desire, to be on the winning side of Christ in this most important
conflict of all ages. With over fifty-six hundred pages adding clarity to multiplied
thousands of Scripture references, these volumes emphasize those areas of Scrip-
ture which are the most enlightening and the most essential for the understanding
of present truth for our troublous times and for Christ’s soon return.
