Was ever a quarterly titled "The Refiner's fire" or lessons that touch a similar theme as that of this quarterly?
Wow! Thanks for asking! As a matter of fact, we had the apparently identical set of lessons in 2009. You can find it listed here: https://ssnet.org/study-guides/lesson-archives/2000-2009/, and the lesson index is here: https://ssnet.org/qrtrly/eng/07d/index.html
If you find any differences, please let us know, but at first glance, the lessons look identical. Even the artwork is almost identical.
The Sabbath School Net Web Team could have saved itself a lot of work by checking the archives first. We'll have to do that in the future.
Since we started our blog in 2011, there are no blog lessons with comments for the 2009 set of lessons.
Hi was ever a Quarter of Daniel or revelation or similar topic cover prophecies?
We have an archive of the Sabbath School lessons here:
