A Revival
1. In every part of the land, light was given
upon the second angels message, and the cry
melted the hearts of thousands. It went from
city to city, and from village to village, until
the waiting people of God were fully aroused.
In many churches the message was not permitted to be given, and a large company who had
the living testimony left these fallen churches.
A mighty work was accomplished by the midnight cry. The message was heart-searching,
leading the believers to seek a living experience
for themselves. They knew that they could not
lean upon one another. . . .
A spirit of solemn and earnest prayer was
everywhere felt by the saints. A holy solemnity
was resting upon them. Angels were watching
with the deepest interest the effect of the message, and were elevating those who received
it, and drawing them from earthly things to
obtain large supplies from salvations fountain.
Gods people were then accepted of Him. Jesus looked upon them with pleasure, for His
image was reflected in them. They had made
a full sacrifice, an entire consecration, and expected to be changed to immortality. But they
were destined again to be sadly disappointed.
Early Writings, 238239.

Reavivamento
1. Em toda a parte do pas, foi proporcionada luz acerca da mensagem do segundo
anjo, e o clamor amoleceu o corao de milhares. Foi de cidade em cidade, e de vila em
vila, at que o povo expectante de Deus ficasse
completamente desperto. Em muitas igrejas
no foi permitido dar-se a mensagem, e uma
grande multido que tinha o vvido testemunho deixou essas igrejas decadas. Uma poderosa
obra foi realizada pelo clamor da meia-noite. A
mensagem era de natureza a promover o exame
do corao, levando os crentes a buscar por si
mesmos uma vvida experincia. Sabiam que
no poderiam buscar apoio uns nos outros...
Um esprito de solene e fervorosa orao era
por toda parte sentido pelos santos. Uma santa
solenidade repousava sobre eles. Anjos estavam a observar com o mais profundo interesse
o efeito da mensagem, e estavam a enobrecer
aqueles que a recebiam, e a retir-los das coisas terrestres para obterem grande suprimento
da fonte da salvao. O povo de Deus era ento aceito por Ele. Jesus olhava para eles com
prazer, pois Sua imagem neles se refletia. Haviam feito um amplo sacrifcio, uma completa
consagrao, e esperavam ser transformados
imortalidade. Mas estavam de novo destinados
a ser tristemente decepcionados. Primeiros Escritos, 238, 239.

2. A revival of true godliness among us is

the greatest and most urgent of all our needs.
To seek this should be our first work. Selected

5. A revival and a reformation must take
place, under the ministration of the Holy Spirit. Revival and reformation are two different
things. Revival signifies a renewal of spiritual
life, a quickening of the powers of mind and
heart, a resurrection from spiritual death. Reformation signifies a reorganization, a change
in ideas and theories, habits and practices. Reformation will not bring forth the good fruit of
righteousness unless it is connected with the
revival of the Spirit. Revival and reformation
are to do their appointed work, and in doing
this work they must blend. Selected Messages,
book 1, 128.

5. Precisa haver um reavivamento e uma

reforma, sob a ministrao do Esprito Santo.
Reavivamento e reforma so duas coisas diversas. Reavivamento significa renovamento da
vida espiritual, um avivamento das faculdades
da mente e do corao, uma ressurreio da
morte espiritual. Reforma significa uma reorganizao, uma mudana nas idias e teorias,
hbitos e prticas. A reforma no trar o bom
fruto da justia a menos que seja ligada com
o reavivamento do Esprito. Reavivamento e
reforma devem efetuar a obra que lhes designada, e no realiz-la, precisam fundir-se.

Daniel 11 Quase Completo

6. We are living in the time of the end. The

fast-fulfilling signs of the times declare that the
coming of Christ is near at hand. The days in
which we live are solemn and important. The
Spirit of God is gradually but surely being
withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and judgments are already falling upon the despisers of
the grace of God. The calamities by land and
sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of
war, are portentous. They forecast approaching
events of the greatest magnitude.
The agencies of evil are combining their
forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are
soon to take place in our world, and the final
movements will be rapid ones.
The condition of things in the world shows
that troublous times are right upon us. The
daily papers are full of indications of a terrible
conflict in the near future. Bold robberies are
of frequent occurrence. Strikes are common.
Thefts and murders are committed on every
hand. Men possessed of demons are taking the
lives of men, women, and little children. Men
have become infatuated with vice, and every
species of evil prevails. . . .
There are not many, even among educators

6. Vivemos no tempo do fim. Os sinais

dos tempos, a cumprirem-se rapidamente, declaram que a vinda de Cristo est prxima, s

and statesmen, who comprehend the causes
that underlie the present state of society. Those
who hold the reins of government are not able
to solve the problem of moral corruption, poverty, pauperism, and increasing crime. They
are struggling in vain to place business operations on a more secure basis. If men would give
more heed to the teaching of Gods Word, they
would find a solution of the problems that perplex them. . . .
The world is stirred with the spirit of war.
The prophecy of the eleventh chapter of Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment.
Soon the scenes of trouble spoken of in the
prophecies will take place. . . .
Satan is a diligent Bible student. He knows
that his time is short, and he seeks at every
point to counterwork the work of the Lord
upon this earth. It is impossible to give any
idea of the experience of the people of God
who shall be alive on the earth when celestial
glory and a repetition of the persecutions of
the past are blended. They will walk in the
light proceeding from the throne of God. By
means of angels there will be constant communication between heaven and earth. And Satan,
surrounded by his evil angels, and claiming to
be God, will work miracles of all kinds, to deceive, if possible, the very elect. Testimonies,
vol. 9, 1117.

Prophecy
8. Historical events, showing the direct
fulfillment of prophecy, were set before the

The Sealed Book

9. In the Revelation all the books of the
Bible meet and end. Here is the complement
of the book of Daniel. One is a prophecy; the
other a revelation. The book that was sealed
is not the Revelation, but that portion of the
prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days.
The angel commanded, But thou, O Daniel,
shut up the words, and seal the book, even to
the time of the end. Daniel 12:4. Acts of the
Apostles, 585.

Great and Solemn Events

10. All that God has in prophetic history
specified to be fulfilled in the past has been,
and all that is yet to come in its order will be.
Daniel, Gods prophet, stands in his place.
John stands in his place. In the Revelation the
Lion of the tribe of Judah has opened to the
students of prophecy the book of Daniel, and
thus is Daniel standing in his place. He bears
his testimony, that which the Lord revealed to
him in vision of the great and solemn events
which we must know as we stand on the very
threshold of their fulfillment. Selected Messages, book 2, 109.

Grandes e Solenes Acontecimentos

10. Tudo quanto Deus especificou que havia
de cumprir-se na histria proftica no passado,
cumpriu-se, e tudo quanto est ainda por vir
vir por sua ordem. Daniel, o profeta de Deus,
est em seu lugar. Joo est em seu lugar. No
Apocalipse o Leo da tribo de Jud abriu aos
estudiosos da profecia o livro de Daniel, e assim Daniel se erguer em seu lugar. D o seu
testemunho, aquilo que o Senhor lhe revelou
em viso dos grandes e solenes acontecimentos
que precisamos conhecer ao nos encontrarmos
no prprio limiar do seu cumprimento. Mensagens Escolhidas, vol. 2, 109.

11. The Bible has accumulated and bound

up together its treasures for this last generation.
All the great events and solemn transactions of
Old Testament history have been, and are, repeating themselves in the church in these last
days. . . . There the whole accumulated truths
are presented in force to us that we may profit
by their teachings. Selected Messages, book 3,

controversies will arouse to new life, and peril
will beset Gods people on every side. Intensity
is taking hold of the human family. It is permeating everything upon the earth. . . .
Study Revelation in connection with Daniel, for history will be repeated. ...
As we near the close of this worlds history,
the prophecies relating to the last days especially demand our study [that portion of the
prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days.
Acts of the Apostles, 585.]. The last book of the
New Testament Scriptures is full of truth that
we need to understand. Satan has blinded the
minds of many so that they have been glad of
any excuse for not making the Revelation their
study. Testimonies to Ministers, 116117.

Knowledge Increased
13. The book that was sealed was not the
book of Revelation, but that portion of the
prophecy of Daniel which related to the last
days. The Scripture says, But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even
to the time of the end: many shall run to and
fro, and knowledge shall be increased (Daniel
12:4). When the book was opened, the proclamation was made, Time shall be no longer.
(See Revelation 10:6.) The book of Daniel
is now unsealed, and the revelation made by
Christ to John is to come to all the inhabitants
of the earth. By the increase of knowledge a
people is to be prepared to stand in the latter
days. . . .
In the first angels message men are called
upon to worship God, our Creator, who made
the world and all things that are therein. They
have paid homage to an institution of the Papacy, making of no effect the law of Jehovah,
but there is to be an increase of knowledge on
this subject. Selected Messages, book 2, 106

Crescimento de Conhecimento
13. O livro que foi selado no foi o do Apocalipse, mas aquela parte da profecia de Daniel
que se referia aos ltimos dias. Diz a Escritura: Tu, porm, Daniel, encerra as palavras e
sela o livro, at ao tempo do fim; muitos o esquadrinharo, e o saber se multiplicar. (Dan.
12:4). Quando o livro foi aberto, foi feita a
proclamao: j no haver demora. (Apoc.
10:6). O livro de Daniel est agora aberto, e
a revelao feita por Cristo a Joo deve vir a
todos os habitantes da Terra. Pelo acrscimo

16. And After these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his glory.
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is
become the habitation of devils, and the hold
of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean
and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of
the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and
the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth
are waxed rich through the abundance of her
delicacies. And I heard another voice from
heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye
receive not of her plagues. Revelation 18:14.

Babilnia, e se tornou morada de demnios, e
guarida de todo esprito imundo, e guarida de
toda ave imunda e detestvel. Porque todas as
naes tm bebido do vinho da ira da sua prostituio, e os reis da terra se prostituram com
ela; e os mercadores da terra se enriqueceram
com a abundncia de suas delcias. Ouvi outra
voz do cu dizer: Sai dela, povo meu, para que

que no incorras nas suas pragas. Apocalipse

17. While the bridegroom tarried, they all

slumbered and slept. And at midnight there
was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those
virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. Matthew 25:57. In the summer of 1844, midway between the time when it had been first
thought that the 2300 days would end, and the
autumn of the same year, to which it was afterward found that they extended, the message
was proclaimed in the very words of Scripture:
Behold, the Bridegroom cometh!
That which led to this movement was the
discovery that the decree of Artaxerxes for the
restoration of Jerusalem, which formed the
starting point for the period of the 2300 days,
went into effect in the autumn of the year 457
B.C., and not at the beginning of the year, as
had been formerly believed. Reckoning from
the autumn of 457, the 2300 years terminate
in the autumn of 1844. The Great Controversy,

O que determinou este movimento foi
descobrir-se que o decreto de Artaxerxes para
a restaurao de Jerusalm, o qual estabelecia
o ponto de partida para o perodo dos 2.300
dias, entrou em vigor no outono do ano 457
antes de Cristo, e no no comeo do ano, conforme anteriormente se havia crido. Contando

The Catalyst of Prophecy
18. In the year 1840 another remarkable
fulfillment of prophecy excited widespread interest. two years before, Josiah Litch, one of
the leading ministers preaching the second advent, published an exposition of Revelation 9,
predicting the fall of the Ottoman Empire. According to his calculations, this power was to
be overthrown in A.D. 1840, sometime in the
month of August; and only a few days previous to its accomplishment he wrote: Allowing
the first period, 150 years, to have been exactly
fulfilled before Deacozes ascended the throne
by permission of the Turks, and that the 391
years, fifteen days, commenced at the close of
the first period, it will end on the 11th of August, 1840, when the Ottoman power in Constantinople may be expected to be broken. And
this, I believe, will be found to be the case.
At the very time specified, Turkey, through
her ambassadors, accepted the protection of the
allied powers of Europe, and thus placed herself under the control of Christian nations. The
event exactly fulfilled the prediction. When it
became known, multitudes were convinced of
the correctness of the principles of prophetic
interpretation adopted by Miller and his associates, and a wonderful impetus was given
to the advent movement. Men of learning and
position united with Miller, both in preaching
and in publishing his views, and from 1840
to 1844 the work rapidly extended. The Great
Controversy, 334335.

O Catalizador da Profecia
18. No ano de 1840 outro notvel cumprimento de profecia despertou geral interesse.
Dois anos antes, Josias Litch, um dos principais pastores que pregavam o segundo advento, publicou uma explicao de Apocalipse
9, predizendo a queda do Imprio Otomano.
Segundo os seus clculos essa potncia deveria
ser subvertida no ano de 1840, no ms de Agosto; e poucos dias apenas antes do seu cumprimento escreveu: Admitindo que o primeiro
perodo, 150 anos, se cumpriu exatamente antes que Deacozes subisse ao trono com permisso dos turcos, e que os 391 anos e quinze dias
comearam no final do primeiro perodo, terminar no dia 11 de Agosto de 1840, quando
se pode esperar seja abatido o poderio otomano
em Constantinopla. E isso, creio eu, verificarse- ser o caso.
No mesmo tempo especificado, a Turquia,
por intermdio dos seus embaixadores, aceitou
a proteo das potncias aliadas da Europa,
e assim se ps sob a direo de naes crists. O acontecimento cumpriu exatamente a
predio. Quando isso se tornou conhecido,
multides convenceram-se da exatido dos
princpios de interpretao proftica adotados
por Miller e seus companheiros, e maravilhoso
impulso foi dado ao movimento do advento.
Homens de saber e posio uniram-se a Miller,
tanto para pregar como para publicar as suas
opinies, e de 1840 a 1844 a obra estendeu-se
rapidamente. O Grande Conflito, 334-335.

The Wise
19. As we near the close of this worlds history, the prophecies recorded by Daniel demand
our special attention, as they relate to the very
time in which we are living. With them should
be linked the teachings of the last book of the
New Testament Scriptures. Satan has led many
to believe that the prophetic portions of the
writings of Daniel and of John the revelator
cannot be understood. But the promise is plain
that special blessing will accompany the study
of these prophecies. The wise shall understand

that were to be unsealed in the latter days; and
of the revelation that Christ gave to His ser-

20. The history of nations that one after

another have occupied their allotted time and
place, unconsciously witnessing to the truth of
which they themselves knew not the meaning,
speaks to us. To every nation and to every individual of today God has assigned a place in
His great plan. Today men and nations are being measured by the plummet in the hand of
Him who makes no mistake. All are by their
own choice deciding their destiny, and God is
overruling all for the accomplishment of His
purposes.
The history which the great I AM has
marked out in His word, uniting link after
link in the prophetic chain, from eternity in
the past to eternity in the future, tells us where
we are today in the procession of the ages, and
what may be expected in the time to come. All
that prophecy has foretold as coming to pass,
until the present time, has been traced on the
pages of history, and we may be assured that
all which is yet to come will be fulfilled in its
order. Education, 178.

46. Until recently, the battalions of Marxism seemed to have the upper hand over the
soldiers of the Cross. In the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Lenin had pledged
toleration but delivered terror. Russia turned
crimson with the blood of martyrs, says Father
Gleb Yakunin, Russian Orthodoxys bravest agitator for religious freedom. In the Bolsheviks
first five years in power, 28 bishops and 1,200
priests were cut down by the red sickle. Stalin
greatly accelerated the terror, and by the end
of Khrushchevs rule, liquidation of the clergy
reached an estimated 50,000. After World War
II, fierce but generally less bloody persecution
spread into the Ukraine and the new Soviet
bloc, affecting millions of Roman Catholics
and Protestants as well as Orthodox. Time,
December 4, 1989.

46. At h pouco tempo, batalhes do Marxismo pareciam ter a vantagem sobre os soldados da Cruz. Depois da revoluo Bolchevique
de 1917, Lenin prometeu tolerncia, mas em
vez disso, causou terror. A Rssia enrubesceu
com o sangue dos mrtires, disse o padre GlebYakunin, o agitador mais bravo da religio
ortodoxa russa em favor da liberdade religiosa.
Nos primeiros cinco anos dos bolcheviques
no poder, 28 bispos e 1200 sacerdotes foram
assassinados pela foice vermelha. Stalin acelerou grandemente o ambiente de terror, e j
no final do regime de Kruschev, a eliminao
do clero alcanou uma estimativa de 50.000

49. His [Pope John Paul II] triumphant
tour of Poland in 1979, says Polish bishop, altered the mentality of fear, the fear of police
and tanks, of losing your job, of not getting
promoted, of being thrown out of school, of
failing to get a passport. People learned that if
they ceased to fear the system, the system was
helpless. Thus was born Solidarity, backed by
the church and led by such friends of the pope
as Lech Walesa and Tadeusz Mazowieke, who
subsequently became the Soviet blocs first
Christian Prime Minister. Time, December 4,

polaco, que alterou a mentalidade de temor, o

da escola, a no poder obter um passaporte. O
povo deu-se conta de que, se deixasse de temer
o sistema, o sistema tornar-se-ia impotente.
Dessa forma, nasceu o Solidariedade, apoiado
pela igreja e dirigido por amigos do papa, tais
como Lech Walesa e Tadeus Mazowieke, que
se tornou na primeira pessoa crist a ocupar a

50. In 1935 Josef Stalin, absolute ruler of

pope. And how many divisions has he? The
answer then was that he has none. The answer
now is that he needs none. The structures of

55. In 1981, the Communist bloc got another shock. A new American President, Ronald Reagan, began fulfilling his promise to challenge the Soviets, not to placate them. Over
the next few years, he accelerated the military
buildup and announced the Strategic Defense

troops, he liberated the island of Grenada from
Communist thugs.
The Soviets confidence was shaken. . . .

57. With the Popes support, Solidarity (Polish Labor Union) was formed, and John Paul
II sent word to Moscow that if Soviet forces
crushed Solidarity, he would go to Poland and
stand with the people. The Soviets were so
alarmed that they hatched a plot to kill him. .

slowly. They did. In 1988 General Wojciech
Jaruzelski, the Polish communist leader, went

65. For Gorbachev, the ferment in the Baltics is shaking not just a small corner of the
empire built by Lenin and Stalin, but the
foundations of the empire itself. The nationalities question is a potent distillation of many
other signs, from a crumbling economy to
violent ethnic clashes, that the breathtaking
disintegration of the Soviet empire in Eastern
Europe may not stop at the Soviet border. As
the economy deteriorates and shortages grow,
public disillusionment with Communism and
with Gorbachev himself is rising, and hostile
republics, nationalities and interests groups are
competing more fiercely for political power
and for shares in the shrinking economy. Corruption and crime are rampant; minors and
railway workers threaten to cut off fuel supplies during the bitter winter; Azerbaijanis cut
the rail line to an Armenian enclave in their

Reagan came with very simple and strongly held views, says Admiral Bobby Inman, former deputy director of the CIA. It is a valid
point that he saw the collapse (of Communism) coming and he pushed it hard. During the first part of 1982, a five-part strategy
emerged that was aimed at bringing about the
collapse of the Soviet economy. . . .

Soviets to compete militarily with the U.S..
Reagans Strategic Defense Initiative-Star Wars

70. Heretofore those who presented the

third angels message have often been regarded
as mere alarmists. Their predictions that religious intolerance would gain control in the
United States, that church and state would
unite to persecute those who keep the commandments of God, have been pronounced
groundless and absurd. . . . But as the question of enforcing Sunday observance is widely
agitated, the event so long doubted and disbelieved is seen to be approaching, and the third
message will produce an effect which it could
not have had before. The Great Controversy,

I was particularly impressed with this view
when I was in battle of Platsburg, when with

defeated the British, who were 15,000 strong;
we being also successful at the same time in an
engagement with the British fleet on the lake.
At the commencement of the battle, we looked
upon our defeat as almost certain, and yet we
were victorious. So surprising a result against
such odds, did seem to me like the work of a

God designed that this country should ever
remain free for all people to worship Him in
accordance with the dictates of conscience. He
designed that its civil institutions, in their expansive productions, should represent the freedom of gospel privileges. Maranatha, 193.

. . And this is the religion which Protestants are

changes. She claims infallibility. It is Protestantism that will change. The adoption of liberal ideas on its part will bring it where it can
clasp the hand of Catholicism. Review and

96. By the decree enforcing the institution of

the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our

under the influence of this threefold union,
our country shall repudiate every principle of
its Constitution as a Protestant and republican
government, and shall make provision for the
propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions,

101. The law of God cannot be made void by

the law of a nation. When the law is trampled
in the dust, the sacredness of the commandments of God will be vindicated by those who
are loyal to Him. We are to make no railing
accusation against the nations, for this would
close our way so that we could not set the
light before the people. Every objection raised
against the commandments of God will make
a way for the advancement of truth and enable
its advocates to present its value before men.
There is a beauty and force in the truth that
nothing can make so apparent as opposition
and persecution. When this is revealed, many
will be converted to the truth. Manuscript Releases, vol. 12, 141142.

The Closed Door

102. Many who have known the truth have
corrupted their way before God and have departed from the faith. The broken ranks will
be filled up by those represented by Christ as
coming in at the eleventh hour. There are many
with whom the Spirit of God is striving. The

time of Gods destructive judgments is the time
of mercy for those who have no opportunity to
learn what is truth. Tenderly will the Lord look
upon them. His heart of mercy is touched; His
hand is still stretched out to save, while the
door is closed to those who would not enter.
Large numbers will be admitted who in these
last days hear the truth for the first time. This
Day With God, 163.

103. There are diligent students of the word

of prophecy in all parts of the world, who are
obtaining light and still greater light from
searching the Scriptures. This is true of all nations, of all tribes, and all peoples. These will
come from the grossest error, and will take the
places of those who have had opportunities
and privileges and have not prized them. These
have worked out their own salvation with fear
and trembling lest they become deficient in
doing the ways and will of God, while those
who have great light, have, through perversity
of their own natural hearts, turned away from
Christ because displeased with the requirements.
But God will not be left without witness.
The one-hour labourers will be brought in at
the eleventh hour, and will consecrate ability
and all their entrusted means to advance the
work. These will receive the reward for their
faithfulness, because they are true to principle and shun not their duty to declare the
whole counsel of God. When those who have
had abundance of light throw off the restraint
which the Word of God imposes, and make
void His law, others will come in to fill their
place, and take their crown. . . .
Great is the work of the Lord. Men are
choosing sides. Even those supposed to be heathen will choose the side of Christ, while those
who become offended, as did the disciples, will
go away and walk no more with Him. And others will come in and occupy the place they have
left vacant. The time is very near when man
shall have reached the prescribed limits. . . The
record of their works in the books of heaven is

105. Before the final visitation of Gods judgments upon the earth there will be among the
people of the Lord such a revival of primitive
godliness as has not been witnessed since apostolic times. The Spirit and power of God
will be poured out upon His children. At that
time many will separate themselves from those
churches in which the love of the world has
supplanted love for God and His Word. Many,
both ministers and people, will gladly accept
those great truths which God has caused to be
proclaimed at this time to prepare a people for
the Lords second coming. . . . Under a religious guise, Satan will seek to extend his influence over the Christian world. The Great

second time to recover the remnant of his
people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and
from Egypt, from Pathros, and from Cush,

he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart,

Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall

they shall spoil them of the east together: they

and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue

118. It is at this time that the true Sabbath

must be brought before the people both by pen

the Decalogue and those that observe it are ignored and despised, the faithful few know that

the law of Jehovah by unfurling the banner
on which is inscribed the message of the third

prophecy in the United States have presented
this testimony to the world. In the events now
taking place is seen a rapid advance toward
the fulfillment of the prediction. With Protestant teachers there is the same claim of divine
authority for Sunday-keeping, and the same
lack of scriptural evidence, as with the papist
leaders who fabricated miracles to supply the
place of a command from God. The assertion
that Gods judgments are visited upon men for
their violation of the Sunday-sabbath, will be
repeated; already it is beginning to be urged.
And a movement to enforce Sunday observance is fast gaining ground. The Great Controversy, 579.

divina para a guarda do domingo, e a mesma
falta de provas bblicas, que h com os chefes
papais que forjaram os milagres para suprir a
falta do mandamento de Deus. A afirmao de

Egypt
121. Why is it so hard to lead a self-denying,
humble life? Because professed Christians are
not dead to the world. It is easy living after we
are dead. But many are longing for the leeks
and onions of Egypt. They have a disposition
to act and dress as much like the world as possible and yet go to heaven. Such climb up some
other way. They do not enter through the strait
gate and narrow way. Testimonies, vol. 1, 131.

about to deliver Israel were similar in character
to those more terrible and extensive judgments
which are to fall upon the world just before the
final deliverance of Gods people. The Great
Controversy, 627628.

123. As pragas que sobrevieram ao Egito

dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose

131. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut
down to the ground, which didst weaken the
nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I
will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the
mount of the congregation, in the sides of the
north: I will ascend above the heights of the
clouds; I will be like the most High. Isaiah
14:1214.

131. Como caste do cu, estrela da manh,

filha da alva! Como foste lanado por terra, tu

134. These have one mind. There will be a
universal bond of union, one great harmony,
a confederacy of Satans forces. And shall give
their power and strength to the beast. Thus is
manifested the same arbitrary, oppressive power against religious liberty, freedom to worship
God according to the dictates of conscience, as
was manifested by the Papacy, when in the past
it persecuted those who dared to refuse to conform with the religious rites and ceremonies of
Romanism. Maranatha, 187.

135. The spirits of devils will go forth to the

kings of the earth and to the whole world, to

is filled with storm and war and variance. Yet
under one headthe papal powerthe people
will unite to oppose God in the person of His

apostate. While he seeks to unite his agents in

141. In this time of prevailing iniquity, the

Protestant churches that have rejected a Thus
saith the Lord, will reach a strange pass. They
will be converted to the world. In their separation from God, they will seek to make falsehood and apostasy from God the law of the
nation. They will work upon the rulers of the
land to make laws to restore the lost ascendency of the man of sin, who sits in the temple
of God, showing himself that he is God. The
Roman Catholic principles will be taken under
the protection of the state. The protest of Bible
truth will no longer be tolerated by those who
have not made the law of God their rule of

142. In short, that contemporary map of
shame would be the graphic expression of the
atrocity we have come to describe so blandly
as the division of the world into North and
South, which is to say, in plainer terms, the

nations, into rich and poor. . . .
It is just such a map of shame that Pope
John Paul does hold up to the world in his
moral assessment of the geopolitical arrangements that are setting up our future for us. ...
On the modern map of world shame that
is the subject of so much of John Pauls attention, North and South do not figure as precise
geographical terms. Instead, they are global
frontiers where wealth and poverty divide not
only nations, but societies within nations. ...

147. Soon there appears in the east a small

It is the cloud which surrounds the Saviour and
which seems in the distance to be shrouded in

151. The whole world is to be stirred with enmity against Seventh-day Adventists, because
they will not yield homage to the Papacy, by
honoring Sunday, the institution of this antiChristian power. It is the purpose of Satan to

will not faint though severely tried. . . . The
time of trouble, such as never was, is soon to
open upon us; and we shall need an experience
which we do not now possess and which many
are too indolent to obtain. It is often the case
that trouble is greater in anticipation than in
reality; but this is not true of the crisis before
us. The most vivid presentations cannot reach
the magnitude of the ordeal. The Great Controversy, 621622.

Blocking The Message

161. Though being unable to expel God from
His throne, Satan has charged God with satanic attributes and has claimed the attributes of
God as his own. He is a deceiver, and through
his serpentine sharpness, through his crooked
practices he has drawn to himself the homage
which man should have given to God, and has
planted his satanic throne between the human
worshiper and the divine Father. Manuscript
