author - "Ellen G. White"
King, clergy, and nobles were compelled to submit to the atrocities of an excited and maddened people. Their thirst for vengeance was only stimulated by the execution of the king; and those who had decreed his death soon followed him to the scaffold. A general slaughter of all suspected of hostility to the Revolution was determined. The prisons were crowded, at one time containing more than two hundred thousand captives. The cities of the kingdom were filled with scenes of horror. One party of revolutionists was against another party, and France became a vast field for contending masses, swayed by the fury of their passions. “In Paris one tumult succeeded another, and the citizens were divided into a medley of factions, that seemed intent on nothing but mutual extermination.” And to add to the general misery, the nation became involved in a prolonged and devastating war with the great powers of Europe.
It was the desire for liberty of conscience that inspired the Pilgrims to brave the perils of the long journey across the sea, to endure the hardships and dangers of the wilderness, and with God’s blessing to lay, on the shores of America, the foundation of a mighty nation ... . Like the early Pilgrims he came to enjoy religious freedom; but, unlike them, he saw—what so few in his time had yet seen—that this freedom was the inalienable right of all, whatever might be their creed. He declared it to be the duty of the magistrate to restrain crime, but never to control the conscience. “The public or the magistrates may decide,” he said, “what is due from man to man; but when they attempt to prescribe a man’s duties to God, they are out of place, and there can be no safety; for it is clear that if the magistrate has the power, he may decree one set of opinions or beliefs today and another tomorrow; as has been done in England by different kings and queens, and by different popes and councils; so that belief would become a heap of confusion."
There is a mighty power in prayer. Our great adversary is constantly seeking to keep the troubled soul away from God. The darkness of the evil one encloses those who neglect to pray. The whispered temptations of the enemy entice them to sin; and it is all because they do not make use of the privileges of prayer. Why should we be reluctant to pray, when prayer is the key in the hand of faith to unlock heaven’s storehouse? Without unceasing prayer and diligent watching we are in danger of growing careless and of deviating from the right path. The adversary seeks continually to obstruct the way to the mercy seat, that we may not by earnest supplication and faith obtain grace and power to resist temptation.
Armageddon signifies the ultimate and decisive battle crowning the millennia-long struggle between good and evil. This book goes to the crux of the conflict from the desolation of the Holy City and its transformation into a universal empire. There are riveting sequences of arduous upheavals, revolutions and the shifting of the spiritual landscape. It presents unembellished scenarios of turbulent and bitter hostilities among competing factions and embattled nations. Answering beleaguering concerns on global alliances, wars and disasters, Armageddon unlocks the enigma surrounding a grievous time of trouble and an imminent implosion.
Apocalypse reveals the spirit of war and anarchy permeating all the nations. It uncovers the real reasons of endless battles, opening to the eyes the horrors of an ancient dictatorship that continues to this day. This book begins and ends in the source and symptoms of hard power – rapid executions, massacres, destructive weaponry, atomic bombs and unrelenting combat between opposed parties, each side hell-bent on victory. One witnesses the tragic accounts of courageous heroes who have dared to defy authoritarian mandates and gains insight on the hidden points of controversy underlying the warfare. It answers the persistent questions of the possible approach of a World War III and supplies readers with some strategies to defend and counterattack.
The Truth about Angels, describes these some of these heavenly messengers. It dispels some of the misconceptions regarding their nature and role in human affairs. Lifting the veil between the seen and the unseen world, this text sets forth the truth about angels and their involvement in events on earth. Beginning with Lucifer’s rebellion the text expounds on the existence and activities of angels. Best of all, it will enable the reader to appreciate the mission, fellowship and ministry of angels. Multitudes believe that angels are spirits of the dead who are the “ministering spirits" or agents of fire sent to help mankind in peril; however, this book enlightens on the truth about angels, both good and evil.
Primitive Christianity and the Reformation are one and the same revolution, brought about at different epochs and under different circumstances. Although not alike in their secondary features, they are identical in their primary and chief characteristics. One is a repetition of the other. The former put an end to the old world; the latter began the new: between them lie the Middle Ages. One is the parent of the other; and although the daughter may in some instances bear marks of inferiority, she had characteristics that are peculiarly her own.
Last evening when we were at dinner, wine was offered to me. It was very well-mixed, sweet and delicious - but when I gave it to Thoré and he tasted it, he commented on its extreme sweetness, and it struck me that there was too much sweetness in the wine. So I would drink no more, nor allow my friends to do so; and although shortly afterwards we were very sick, we were saved through the grace of God and the good remedies which were at hand. … There is no end to the list, Madame; and then add to it all those who died at her command at the St. Bartholomew. It is a long list of murders, Madame. "Even for an Italian woman," she admitted. "Ah, Madame," you have spoken truly. I hope that one day, there will be slipped into her wine that Italian piece. That is what I wish. It is the wish of all of Paris." She came away smiling. Better to win hatred than indifference. She laughed aloud. The Queen Mother ruled France. She was glad they realized that.
