thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the
heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it”
[107]
(
Isaiah 58:12-14
).
The history of the church and the world, the loyal and the disloyal,
is here plainly revealed. The loyal under the proclamation of the
third angel’s message have turned their feet into the way of God’s
commandments, to respect, to honor, and glorify Him who created the
heavens and the earth. The opposing forces have dishonored God by
making a breach in His law, and when light from His Word has called
attention to His holy commandments, revealing the breach made in the
law by the papal authority, then, to get rid of conviction, men have tried
to destroy the whole law. But could they destroy it? No; for all who
will search the Scriptures for themselves will see that the law of God
stands immutable, eternal, and His memorial, the Sabbath, will endure
through eternal ages, pointing to the only true God in distinction from
all false gods.
Satan has been persevering and untiring in his efforts to prosecute
the work he began in heaven, to change the law of God. He has
succeeded in making the world believe the theory he presented in
heaven before his fall, that the law of God was faulty, and needed
revising. A large part of the professed Christian church, by their
attitude, if not by their words, show that they have accepted the same
error. But if in one jot or tittle the law of God has been changed, Satan
has gained on earth that which he could not gain in heaven. He has
prepared his delusive snare, hoping to take captive the church and the
world. But not all will be taken in the snare. A line of distinction is
being drawn between the children of obedience and the children of
disobedience, the loyal and true and the disloyal and untrue. Two great
parties are developed, the worshipers of the beast and his image, and
the worshipers of the true and living God.
