The great controversy narrative forms the bedrock of the Biblical story that chronicles the battle between good and evil, starting before this world began. In more recent times, this struggle has played out in human affairs. The book The Great Controversy begins in the 1st century AD with the destruction of Jerusalem and takes you on a journey through the early church and the Reformation to the birth of the United States and then following through to an explanation of the closing events of this earth prior to the return of Jesus. Through this book and series we can look back to the past and forward to the future, whilst also understanding where we are prophetically in today’s world.

The Great Controversy | Chapter 2
“Persecution in the First Centuries”

Under the fiercest persecution these witnesses for Jesus kept their faith unsullied. Though deprived of every comfort, shut away from the light of the sun, making their home in the dark but friendly bosom of the earth, they uttered no complaint. With words of faith, patience, and hope they encouraged one another to endure privation and distress. The loss of every earthly blessing could not force them to renounce their belief in Christ. Trials and persecution were but steps bringing them nearer their rest and their reward.

Like God’s servants of old, many were “tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection” (verse 35). These called to mind the words of their Master, that when persecuted for Christ’s sake, they were to be exceeding glad, for great would be their reward in heaven; for so the prophets had been persecuted before them. They rejoiced that they were accounted worthy to suffer for the truth, and songs of triumph ascended from the midst of crackling flames. Looking upward by faith, they saw Christ and angels leaning over the battlements of heaven, gazing upon them with the deepest interest and regarding their steadfastness with approval. A voice came down to them from the throne of God: “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life” (Revelation 2:10).
