“The dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected.

Our Comment:
Nothing is more fundamental to mixing church and state than a government providing taxpayer funds to active religious entities. Doing so brings the church closer to the world and strips the government of its power so that Rome can become the ruler of both.

In the movements now in progress in the United States to secure for the institutions and usages of the church the support of the state, Protestants are following in the steps of papists. Nay, more, they are opening the door for the papacy to regain in Protestant America the supremacy which she has lost in the Old World. (The Great Controversy, page 573)

                Will Sexual Colonialism Split the United Methodist Church?

For generations, U.S. churches sent missionaries around the world, preaching the Gospel and planting churches in places such as Africa, South America, and Asia. Today, many of the millions of Christians and churches that resulted from those missionary efforts are more biblically faithful than their American forebears.

   Read More:  https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/ruth-bader-ginsburg-isnt-looking-to-retire-yet-but-is-another-supreme-court-justice-ready-to-go

Our Comment:
The shift of the Supreme Court to the right is making many on the left rather nervous. But note that Mr. Trump would likely nominate a Roman Catholic to replace Justice Thomas, also a Catholic, should he resign, leaving the religious composition the same. Should he also have a chance at a fourth nomination, chances are better than 50/50 that he would nominate yet another Catholic to replace Ginsberg (a Jew), since nominations are vetted by a very conservative Roman Catholic, Leonard Leo. It is the religious composition of the court should make God’s people stop and think. After all, it is the right that is likely to bring on worship laws. And a court that is stacked with Roman Catholics, especially conservative Roman Catholics way out of proportion to the overall population will certainly have significance in the coming conflict over worship laws. Conservative judges, both at the appellate court and at the Supreme Court, will likely uphold these laws, especially under the pressures yet to unfold.

Prophetic Link:
“God’s word has given warning of the impending danger; let this be unheeded, and the Protestant world will learn what the purposes of Rome really are, only when it is too late to escape the snare. She is silently growing into power. Her doctrines are exerting their influence in legislative halls, in the churches, and in the hearts of men. She is piling up her lofty and massive structures in the secret recesses of which her former persecutions will be repeated. Stealthily and unsuspectedly she is strengthening her forces to further her own ends when the time shall come for her to strike. All that she desires is vantage ground, and this is already being given her. We shall soon see and shall feel what the purpose of the Roman element is. Whoever shall believe and obey the word of God will thereby incur reproach and persecution.” The Great Controversy, page 582.

When this substitution becomes universal, God will reveal Himself. He will arise in His majesty to shake terribly the earth. He will come out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the world for their iniquity, and the earth shall disclose her blood and shall no more cover her slain.” Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 7, page 141.

Prophetic Link:“The dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected.” The Great Controversy, p 592

​Our Comment: Callista is a Roman Catholic who is helping “Protestant” America to become even more friendly and collaborative with the Vatican. Prophecy tells us where this will lead.

Prophetic Link:  “The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.” The Great Controversy, page 588.
