Every move of the Catholic Church and the United States government towards the enactment of this law is watched and hailed as a milestone to the truth. This fact is proven by the unceasing forwarding to co-members or to the unconvinced member of recent and updated events on this issue.
What many are uninformed of are the circumstances that will lead to its ratification and enforcement as outlined by the author of this prophecy. Here are the facts:
Calamities Blamed on "God’s People"
“Calamities will come—calamities most awful, most unexpected; and these destructions will follow one after another. If there will be a heeding of the warnings that God has given, and if churches will repent, returning to their allegiance, then other cities may be spared for a time. But if men who have been deceived continue in the same way in which they have been walking, disregarding the law of God and presenting falsehoods before the people, God allows them to suffer calamity, that their senses may be awakened. {Mar 176.2}
The judgments will be according to the wickedness of the people and the light of truth that they have had. If they have had the truth, according to that light will be the punishment. {Mar 176.3}
Satan puts his interpretation upon the events, and they [leaders] think, as he would have them that the calamities which fill the land are a result of Sunday-breaking. Thinking to appease the wrath of God these influential men make laws enforcing the Sunday observance. They think that by exalting this false rest-day higher and still higher, compelling obedience to the Sunday Law, the spurious Sabbath they are doing God service. Those who honor God by observing the true Sabbath are looked upon as disloyal to God, when it is really those who thus regard them who are themselves disloyal, because they are trampling underfoot the Sabbath originated in Eden.” {Mar 176.4}
As anyone can see it is clear that the conception of the Sunday law will be brought about by the increase in the calamities brought about by Mother Nature. Let’s take a good look at her activities in the last forty years.
A look at some of the deadliest natural disasters around the world since 1970:
· 2011: Tsunami hits eastern Japan - 15,842 deaths, 3,485 people missing

With all these calamities taking place it is certain that it won’t be long before the leaders of this world [science and political] will meet to determine why the escalation of natural calamities. If the prophecy on the Sunday law is true the world leaders will make these following pronouncements soon:
1. God is very angry and he has to be appeased.
2. The reason he is angry is because there is a small group of people who are worshiping on Saturday and not on Sunday.
3. It is necessary to compel these people to worship on Sunday.
4. The passing of the Sunday law is the solution.
5. The calamities will cease if these people will start worshiping on Sunday.
With this declaration the world leaders would have to justify the following:
1. Why they picked out the Seventh-day Adventist of all the 6.6 billion people of the world. There are about 4 billion who do not believe in a Trinity God, neither do they worship on Sunday. So why single out the 14 million SDA?
2. Why the sudden theory shift from global warming [storms] and movement of tectonic plates [earthquakes] to a theory on the wrath of God on a Sabbath-keeping group that is not even .001 percent of the world population?
3. Why they would have to bind the billion Islam, Buddhists, Hindu, and the other non-Sunday worshipers under the Sunday law when it is only the SDA that is allegedly causing the calamities.
I will not venture to make a conclusion but leave this open-ended. I would rather encourage you to make your conclusion and may God guide your thoughts as you seriously ponder on these facts.
Your friend in Jesus,
Sunni
