"It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday-sabbath, that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced" (The Great Controversy, page 590). The multitudinous calamities in our world coupled with the rapidly declining morality are urged as reasons why our nation, and world should become more godly.  As laws have been enacted to sanction immoral and ungodly practices (i.e. gay marriage) it will take the legalization of moral issues to reverse such practices, which are only steps to the repudiation of "every principle of our constitution," culminating in the enactment of a National Sunday Law.  Already, such claims are being urged. In such  perilous times, God's people should be about their Father's business in seeking for and placing themselves in the position (through God's help) to receive a double-portion of the Holy Spirit in Early and Latter Rain power, the righteousness of Christ.  It is not merely to fit one for heaven that this double portion of the Holy Spirit is needed and required, it is also to empower us to go forth with mighty power in proclaiming the last message of mercy to the world: by pen, by voice, through medical missionary evangelism, through literature evangelism, and through the operation of the Schools of the Prophets.  Let us daily allow the Lord to sanctify us through His Word so that we can be candidates for the early and latter rain and so that we can do the work that God is calling upon all His people to do.
