    Persecution by Protestants and Catholics, July 5

    Ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Matthew 10:22.Mar 194.1

    There is no necessity for thinking that we cannot endure persecution; we shall have to go through terrible times.15The Review and Herald, April 29, 1890.Mar 194.2

    The persecutions of Protestants by Romanism, by which the religion of Jesus Christ was almost annihilated, will be more than rivaled when Protestantism and popery are combined.16Manuscript 30, 1889.Mar 194.3

    The commandment-keeping people of God erelong will be placed in a most trying position; but all those who have walked in the light, and diffused the light, will realize that God interposes in their behalf. When everything looks most forbidding, then the Lord will reveal His power to His faithful ones. When the nation for which God has worked in such a marvelous manner, and over which He has spread the shield of Omnipotence, abandons Protestant principles, and through its legislature gives countenance and support to Romanism in limiting religious liberty, then God will work in His own power for His people that are true. The tyranny of Rome will be exercised, but Christ is our refuge.17Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 206.Mar 194.4

    When the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the state to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions, then Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result.18The Great Controversy, 445.Mar 194.5

    The Scriptures teach that popery is to regain its lost supremacy, and that the fires of persecution will be rekindled through the time-serving concessions of the so-called Protestant world. In this time of peril we can stand only as we have the truth and the power of God.... The prospect of being brought into personal danger and distress, need not cause despondency, but should quicken the vigor and hopes of God's people; for the time of their peril is the season for God to grant them clearer manifestations of his power.19Selected Messages 2:367-370.Mar 194.6
