The European Union in Prophecy
prophet Daniel as coming at this time to the Ancient of Days: " I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came "--not to the earth, but-- " to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him." Daniel 7:13.
This coming is foretold also by the prophet Malachi: " The Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, He shall come, saith the Lord of hosts." Malachi 3:1. The coming of the Lord to His temple was sudden, unexpected, to His people. They were not looking to Him there. They expected Him to come to earth, " in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel." 2 Thessalonians 1:8. But the people were not yet ready to meet their Lord. There was still a work of preparation to be accomplished for them. Light was to be given, directing their minds to the temple of God in heaven; and as they should by faith follow their High Priest in His ministration there, new duties would be revealed. Another message of warning and instruction was to be given to the church.
