- And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither
any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of
God in their foreheads. Revelation 9:4 |
- For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
James 2:10
- The law will be invoked against commandment keepers. They will be threatened with fines and imprisonment, and some will be offered positions of influence, and other rewards and advantages, as inducements to renounce their faith.
Great Controversy 607
- I saw that those who of late have embraced the truth would have to know what it is to suffer for Christ's sake, that they would have trials to pass through that would be keen and cutting, in order that they may be purified and fitted through suffering to receive the seal of the living God, pass through the time of trouble, see the king in His beauty, and dwell in the presence of God and of pure, holy angels...but now time is almost finished, and what we have been years learning, they will have to learn in a few months. They will also have much to unlearn and much to learn again.
Early Writings 67
- As the defenders of truth refuse to honor the sunday-sabbath, some of them will be thrust into prision, some will be exilid, some will be treated as slaves.
Great Controversy 608
- Human laws will be made so stringent that men and women will not dare to observe the seventh day sabbath. For fear of wanting food and clothing they will join with the world in transgressing God's law
Prophets and Kings 184
- Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Revelation 3:12
- For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
Hebrews 10:37
|
|
- When the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the state to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions, them Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result.
Great Controversy 445
- The Roman church has not relinquished her claim to supremacy; and when the world and the protestant churches accept a sabbath of her creating, while they reject the Bible sabbath, they virtually admit this assumption. The may claim the authority of tradition and of the fathers for the change; but in so doing they ignore the very principle which separates them from Rome- that "the Bible, and the Bible only, is the religion of protestants."
Great Controversy 445
- But when Sunday observance shall be enforced by law, and the world shall be enlightened concerning the obligation of the true Sabbath, then whoever shall transgress the command of God, to obey a precept which has no higher authority than that of Rome, will thereby honor popery above God. He is paying homage to Rome and to the power which enforces the institution ordained by Rome. He is worshiping the beast and his image. As men then reject the institution which God has declared to be the sign of His authority, and honor in its stead that which Rome has chosen as the token of her supremacy, they will thereby accept the sign of allegiance to Rome - "The mark of the beast". And it is not until the issue is thus plainly set before the people, and they are brought to choose between the commandments of God and the commandments of men, that those who continue in transgression will receive "the mark of the beast".
Great Controversy 449
- The most fearful threatening ever addressed to mortals is contained in the third angel's message.
[Revelation 14:9]"
