Could It Be “Chicken Little’s Squawk Is Right?

Could It Be “Chicken Little’s Squawk Is Right? 

“The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided. . .”  Vol. 7 EGW Comments to the Adventist Bible Commentary p 976 

“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.”  Great Controversy p 592 

It is not usual that I would begin an article with a string of quotes, especially from Ellen G White!  Yet when I look at the anti-Ellen G White websites, I have to write this article. 

Where do you stand on the matter of the Seventh-day Adventist prophetess?  Has she become inspiration, but no longer authoritative? Or maybe you have never really taken the time to read her writings in a broad comprehensive way?   

Consider that right at this moment the European Parliament is debating the “Working Times Directive.”  This will outlaw working more than 48 hours a week.  Seven members of the body placed an amendment that the remainder of the week must include Sunday as a day of rest.  The Commission of European Bishops said, “Sunday is a cornerstone of the European social model and an issue of central importance for workers and their families.”  Pope Benedict 16^th said September 9 2008, “Without Sunday we cannot live! It is a necessity for all peoples.” 

As 2008 draws to a halt, without sounding alarmist or reactionary, I would joyfully and thankfully call us all to make our calling and election sure!  What Ellen G White has to say on these subjects is too compelling to ignore any longer!  Have a Safe Holiday Season!
