What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "A positive, encouraging message in the spirit of Ellen White for an image about international religious‑political cooperation, crisis, religious freedom, Sunday legislation, Revelation 13 and 17, Sabbath, vigilance without fear, trust in God and faithful witness, with precise source citations."
Answer
Even if worldwide religious‑political developments and efforts to restrict religious freedom as well as to enforce a false Sabbath bring about the predicted end‑time crises, this is no cause for fear or discouragement for God’s people. In the midst of these trials, in which the Sabbath becomes the decisive test of loyalty, God grants heavenly strength, His assistance, and the victory of His truth. When believers proclaim Christ as the center of all hope, bear faithful witness, and place their trust firmly in Him, His presence drives away every fear of the future.
God’s Power in the Crisis and the Worldwide Spread of Truth
»I point out to you the aggressive movements now being undertaken to restrict religious freedom. God's sacred monument has been torn down, and in its place stands a false Sabbath that possesses no holiness before the world. And while the powers of darkness stir up the elements from below, the Lord, the God of heaven, sends power from above to meet the emergency, awakening His living instruments to raise the law of heaven. ... If America, the land of religious freedom, joins with the papacy to force conscience and compel people to honor the false Sabbath, people of every nation on earth will be led to follow its example. ... The message of Christ’s righteousness shall sound from one end of the earth to the other, preparing the way of the Lord. This is the glory of God that concludes the work of the third angel.«
The Sabbath as a Test of Loyalty and the Victory of the Third Angel’s Message
»The Sabbath will be the great test stone of loyalty; for it is the point of truth that is especially contested. When the final test comes upon humanity, a dividing line will be drawn between those who serve God and those who do not. While observing the false Sabbath in accordance with the law of the state ... will be a confession of allegiance to a power that stands opposed to God, keeping the true Sabbath in obedience to God’s law is proof of loyalty to the Creator. ... But when the issue of enforcing Sunday sanctification is widely moved, one will see the approaching event that has long been doubted and not believed, and the third message will produce an effect it could not have previously.«
Proclaim Revelation and Lift Up Jesus as Hope
»The dangers of the last days are upon us, and in our work we must warn people of the danger in which they find themselves. Let the solemn scenes revealed by prophecy not remain untouched. If our people were half awake, if they recognized the nearness of the events depicted in Revelation, a reformation would be effected in our congregations ... Let Daniel speak, let Revelation speak and declare what is true. But whatever phase of the theme is presented, it lifts Jesus as the center of all hope, 'the root and offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.«
Faith and Confidence without Fear or Discouragement
»The faith that strengthened Habakkuk and all the saints and righteous in those days of severe trial is the same faith that sustains God’s people today. In the darkest hours, under the most adverse circumstances, the Christian believer may hold his soul firmly anchored to the source of all light and power. Day by day, through faith in God, his hope and courage can be renewed. 'The righteous shall live by his faith.' In service to God there is no need for discouragement, no wavering, no fear to give. The Lord will more than fulfill the highest expectations of those who place their trust in Him.«
Christ Does Not Abandon His People Ever in Distress
»Through all our trials we have a helper who never fails. He does not leave us alone to wrestle with temptation, fight against evil, and ultimately be crushed by burdens and sorrow. Though He is now hidden from the eyes of mortals, the ear of faith can hear His voice saying: Do not be afraid; I am with you. ... Do not think that you are lonely and abandoned. Even if your pain finds no echo in any heart on earth, look to Me and live.«
Deliverance from Future Fear through Trust in the Father
»If we truly believe that God loves us and wants good for us, we will cease to worry about the future. We will trust God as a child trusts a loving parent. Then our needs and pains will disappear, for our will has merged with God’s will. ... In constant trust in God lies security; there will be no continual fear of future disaster. This sheltered worry and fear will cease. We have a heavenly Father who cares for His children and makes His grace sufficient at every time of need.«
