Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

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)

Senator Mark Pody and Representative Jerry Sexton, both from the GOP, have filed legislation to bar their state, Tennessee, from allowing same-sex marriages. The bill is formally known as “Tennessee Natural Marriage Defense Act” and if passed, would deal a financial blow to the state throwing away a staggering $9 billion dollars of funding from the federal government.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Isn’t Looking to Retire Yet,
But Is Another Supreme Court Justice Ready to Go?
No one tells a Supreme Court Justice when to retire. But there are currently two retirement dramas under way at the Court—one semi-public and the other semi-private—and they both have the potential to reshape the meaning of the Constitution for decades.

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.

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

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.
