When Satan could not induce all the angels to revolt against the law of God, he made the earth the scene of his rebellion, and through the man of sin seeks to carry out his diabolical purpose. Through the Papacy, the Roman power, the man of sin, the purpose of Satan is carried out among men; the law and the time of God are set aside. In this we see that Protestantism is giving encouragement to popery; and false systems of worship, against which our fathers manfully opposed th...emselves, imperiling even property and life, are fostered and cherished and encouraged to extend and gain wide influence. Protestants do not search their Bibles as they should, and do not heed the warning that has been given concerning the work of the man of sin. The Roman Church claims that the pope is invested with supreme authority over all bishops and pastors, and this claim of supremacy was once denied by Protestants. They took the position that the Bible, and the Bible alone, constituted the rule of faith and doctrine, that the word of God is the only unerring guide for human souls, and that it is unnecessary and harmful to take the words of priests and prelates instead of the word of God. {ST February 19, 1894, par. 2} See more

The same argument eighteen hundred years ago was brought against Christ by the rulers of the people. It is expedient for us, said the wily Caiaphas, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. John 11:50. This argument will appear conclusive; and a decree will finally be issued against those who hallow the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, denouncing them as deserving of the severest punishment and giving the people liberty, after a certain time, to put them to death. Romanism in the Old World and apostate Protestantism in the New will pursue a similar course toward those who honor all the divine precepts. {DD 40.1}

Para pejabat tinggi gereja dan negara akan bersatu untuk menyogok, membujuk, atau memaksa semua golongan untuk menghormati hari Minggu. Kekurangan otoritas Ilahi akan dipenuhi oleh undang-undang penindasan. Kejahatan politik menghancurkan cinta kepada keadilan dan penghormatan kepada kebenaran. Bahkan di Amerika yang bebas, para penguasa dan para pembuat undang-undang, untuk mendapatkan perkenanan umum, akan tunduk kepada kebutuhan populer akan suatu undang-undang yang memaks...akan pemeliharaan hari Minggu. Kebebasan hati nurani, yang telah menelan begitu banyak korban, tidak lagi akan dihargai. Dalam pertentangan yang akan terjadi itu kita akan melihat apa yang dilukiskan dalam kata-kata nabi, Maka marahlah naga itu kepada perempuan itu, lalu pergi memerangi keturunannya yang lain, yang menuruti hukum-hukum Allah dan memiliki kesaksian Yesus. (Wahyu 12:17). {KA 622.4} See more

Pecetea lui Dumnezeu e pus deasupra noastr. El dorete s ne amintim c puterile noastre fizice, mintale i morale Îi aparin. Timpul i influena, judecata, afeciunea i contiina, toate sunt ale lui Dumnezeu; i ne sunt date pentru a fi folosite în armonie cu voina Sa. Nu ne sunt oferite pentru a fi folosite în concordan cu tendinele lumii; pentru c lumea este sub conducerea celui ce îl întruchipeaz pe dumanul lui Dumnezeu. {SCT 69.1}

O selo de Deus está sobre nós. Ele nos comprou e deseja que lembremos que nossas faculdades físicas, mentais e morais Lhe pertencem. Tempo e influência, razão, afeto e consciência são todos de Deus e devem ser usados em harmonia com Sua vontade. Não devem ser usados de acordo com a direção do mundo; pois o mundo está sob um guia que é inimigo de Deus. {MJ 69.2}

Nous portons la marque de propriété de Dieu. Il nous a rachetés, et nous rappelle que nos facultés physiques, mentales, morales lui appartiennent. Temps, influence, raison, affections, conscience: tout est à Dieu, tout doit être employé en harmonie avec sa volonté et non pas conformément aux directives du monde; car le monde est soumis à l’ennemi de Dieu. {MJ 67.2}

Noi siamo stati creati a immagine di Dio. Egli ci ha riscattati e vuole ricordarci che le nostre facoltà fisiche, morali e mentali appartengono a lui. Il nostro tempo, il carattere, la ragione, gli affetti, la coscienza, tutto appartiene a Dio e deve essere utilizzato in armonia con la sua volontà. {MG 46.5} Non dobbiamo impiegare questo potenziale seguendo le direttive del mondo che è governato dal nemico di Dio. {MG 46.6}

Hemos sido sellados con el sello de Dios. Él nos ha comprado y desea que recordemos que nuestras facultades físicas, mentales y morales le pertenecen. El tiempo, la influencia, la razón, los afectos y la conciencia, todos pertenecen a Dios y deben ser usados de acuerdo con su voluntad. No deben emplearse con la orientación del mundo, pues el mundo está sometido a un jefe que se halla enemistado con Dios. {MJ 48.4}

God’s stamp is upon us. He has bought us, and He desires us to remember that our physical, mental, and moral powers belong to Him. Time and influence, reason, affection, and conscience, all are God’s, and are to be used only in harmony with His will. They are not to be used in accordance with the direction of the world; for the world is under a leader who is at enmity with God. {MYP 69.1}
