Papists and Protestants Unite

“The church appeals to the strong arm of civil power, and in this work papists and Protestants unite” (Last Day Events, p. 145).

“The Protestant churches will unite with the papal power in persecuting the commandment-keeping people of God” (Last Day Events, p. 145).

“All who will not bow to the decree of the national councils and obey the national laws to exalt the sabbath instituted by the man of sin, to the disregard of God’s holy day, will feel, not the oppressive power of popery alone, but of the Protestant world, the image of the beast” (Last Day Events, p. 145).

“The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience” (Last Day Events, p. 144).
