What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "What positive, encouraging message would Ellen White write about this picture and the described process of ecumenical unity, political influence, Sunday legislation, and Sabbath faithfulness?"
Answer
Ellen White encourages believers with the assurance that the light of Sabbath truth, despite all afflictions, will ever shine brighter and more powerful and never set. Even if secular and religious powers unite to enforce Sunday laws, Sabbath faithfulness serves as a test of loyalty, through which God's faithful people receive the divine seal. Even when believers face severe trials, they have the firm promise that God will deliver them and the truth of the third angel will unleash an unprecedented power.
The Everlasting and Increasing Light of Sabbath Truth
»She then began to describe the Sabbath light, which was the sealing truth. She said: “It rose with the sunrise. It originated there in weakness, but light upon light shone upon it until the Sabbath truth became clear, weighty, and powerful. Like the sun, when it first rises, its rays are cold, but as it ascends, its rays become warming and powerful; thus the light and power increased more and more, until its rays are mighty and sanctify the soul; yet unlike the sun, it will never set. The Sabbath light will be brightest when the saints are immortal; it will rise higher and higher until immortality comes.”«
The Sabbath as a Test of Faithfulness and the Seal of God
»The Sabbath will be the great test of loyalty; for it is the especially contested point of truth. When the final test comes upon humanity, a dividing line will be drawn between those who serve God and those who do not. While keeping the false Sabbath in obedience to civil law ... is a confession of allegiance to a power that opposes God, keeping the true Sabbath in obedience to God's law is a proof of loyalty to the Creator. While one class, by accepting the sign of subjection to earthly powers, receives the mark of the beast, the other, by choosing the sign of fidelity to divine authority, receives the seal of God.«
The Promise of Preservation in the Tribulation
»The people of God will then be thrust into those scenes of distress and need that the prophet describes as the time of Jacob's tribulation ... “Woe! For this day is great, unlike any other; and it is a time of tribulation for Jacob; but he will be delivered from it.”«
Steadfastness and Proclamation Despite All Opposition
»The Sabbath is a sign of the relationship that exists between God and His people, a sign that they are His obedient subjects, that they keep His law holy ... This is the faith that has been handed to the saints once and for all, who stand in moral strength before the world and steadfastly hold to this faith. We will face resistance when we proclaim the message of the third angel ... But despite the resistance, all should hear the words of truth.«
