| ...Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. Revelation 7:3 |
- The sign, or seal, of God is revealed in the observance of the seventh day sabbath,
the Lord's memorial of creation. "The Lord spake unto moses, saying, speak thou also
unto the children of Israel, saying, verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is
a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the
lord that doth sanctify you" Exodus 31:12,13. Here the sabbath is clearly designated
as a sign between God his people". 8 Testimonies for The Church 117

- The sunday law of Constantine - The law issued by the emperor Constantine on the seventh of march, A.D 321, regarding a day of rest from labor, reads thus: "All judges and city people and the craftsmen shall rest upon the venerable day of the sun. Country people, however, may freely attend to the cultivation of the fields, because it frequently happens that no other days are better adapted for planting the grain in the furrows or the vine in trenches. So that the advantage given by heavenly providence may not for the occasion of a short time perish".
Great Controversy 680
-The sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending. Its professions are mild and apparently Christian, but when it shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon.
