Chapter 11<br />

Help in Time of Trouble<br />

When <strong>the</strong> children of Israel were journeying<br />

through <strong>the</strong> wilderness, <strong>the</strong> Lord protected <strong>the</strong>m<br />

from venomous serpents; but <strong>the</strong> time came when,<br />

because of Israel's transgression, impenitence, and<br />

stubbornness, <strong>the</strong> Lord removed His restraining<br />

power from <strong>the</strong>se reptiles, and many of <strong>the</strong> people<br />

were bitten and died. Then it was that <strong>the</strong> brazen<br />

serpent was uplifted, that all who repented and<br />

looked to it in faith might live.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> time of confusion and trouble be<strong>for</strong>e us,<br />

a time of trouble such as has not been since <strong>the</strong>re<br />

was a nation, <strong>the</strong> uplifted Saviour will be presented<br />

to <strong>the</strong> people in all lands, that all who look to Him<br />

in faith may live.<br />
