Angels in the Final Crisis
185
Communications from the spirits will declare that God has sent
them to convince the rejecters of Sunday of their error, affirming that
the laws of the land should be obeyed as the law of God. They will
lament the great wickedness in the world, and second the testimony of
religious teachers, that the degraded state of morals is caused by the
desecration of Sunday. Great will be the indignation excited against all
who refuse to accept their testimony.—

Miracles in the End Time
Before the close of time he [Satan] will work still greater wonders.
