The gift of prophecy, bestowed on God's faithful throughout history, most recently rested upon Ellen White, who conveyed the given messages in admonition and writing. Many of her earliest testimonies and views are published in the Spiritual Gifts volumes.

In this fourth volume, Israel's wandering in the wilderness continues, as Moses and Joshua lead the people of God through the desert on the way to Canaan. Also chronicled in this publication are the lives of kings, such as David and Solomon.

In this final volume of the series, Mrs. White again shares counsel and visions which the Lord has given her. Straight and cutting testimonies written to the church describe the state of unpreparedness among God's people, and the great need for a closer walk with the Lord.
