THE US SUPREME COURT OFFICIALLY DECLARED THAT THE STATE SUNDAY LAWS ARE NOT RELIGIOUS LAW, AND THAT THEY ARE CONSTITUTIONAL! (May 29, 1961)

See Note 8.

 

THERE WILL BE A NATIONAL SUNDAY LAW IN THE UNITED STATES.  [Rev.  13:11-17;  5T 449-454; GC 590-592; 5T 81]

“The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness [ secret]. The leaders are concealing the true [religious] issue.” 5T 452

The State Sunday laws are being called social, health, welfare, and labor laws.

“Protestants are working in disguise to bring Sunday to the front, … “5T 449.

“To secure popularity and patronage, legislators will yield to the demand for a Sunday law.” 5T 451

“… our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and Republican government.” 5T 451

“The minds of the people must be agitated. Every controversy every reproach, every effort to restrict liberty of conscience is God’s means of awakening minds that otherwise might slumber.”  SD 261

The warning of the third angel…. Will command the attention of the world.” GC 450.

“Movements are at work to bring us [Seventh-day Adventists] to the front.” Ev 69.

The National Sunday Law will do it as nothing else ever could.

The National Sunday Law will: [1] Arrest the attention of the whole world, [2] Thrust SDA’s  into the spotlight, [3] awaken  an interest in the Seventh-day Sabbath, [4] Arouse to investigations, [5] Clarify the true issue, [6] Bring everyone to a definite decision.

Every nation on earth follows the example of the United States in enacting a National Sunday Law. The same test comes to God’s People in all parts of the world.
