THE NATURE AND SIDES OF THE FINAL CONFLICT.


Every Human Being Will Be Either in Christ's Army or Satan's Army in the Final Conflict.
We are nearing the close of this earth's history, when two parties alone can exist; and every man, woman, and child, will be in one of these armies. Jesus will be the General of one army; of the opposing army, Satan will be the leader. All who are breaking and teaching others to break the law of God, the foundation of His government in heaven and earth, are marshaled under one superior chief, who directs them in opposition to the government of God. And "the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation," are rebels against the law of God, and enemies of all who love and obey His commandments. These subjects, with Satan their leader, will gather others into their ranks through every possible means, to strengthen his forces and urge his claims.

Satan's Deceptive Tactics to Deceive, If Possible, the Elect.
Through his deceptions and delusions, Satan would, if possible, deceive the very elect. His is no minor deception. He will seek to annoy, to harass, to falsify, to accuse and misrepresent all whom he cannot compel to give him honor and help him in his work. His great success lies in keeping men's minds confused and ignorant of his devices, for then he can lead the unwary, as it were, blindfolded....

The Sabbath Is the Great Test Question That Will Distinguish the Loyal From the Disloyal.
The Sabbath is the great test question. It is the line of demarcation between the loyal and true, and the disloyal and transgressor. This Sabbath God has enjoined, and, those who claim to be commandment-keepers, who believe that they are not under the proclamation of the third angel's message, will see the important part the Sabbath of the fourth commandment holds in that message. It is the seal of the living God. They will not lessen the claims of the Sabbath to suit their business or convenience.--Manuscript 34, 1897, pp. 1, 12. (Untitled Manuscript, n.d., 1897.)
