– The time of trouble is about to come for God’s people. It will be then that the decree will be promulgated prohibiting the buying or selling of those who keep the Sabbath of the Lord, and that will threaten them with punishment, and even death, if they do not observe the first day of the week as a day of rest. The wrath of man will be aroused in a special way against those who keep holy the Sabbath of the fourth Commandment; and in the end a universal decree will denounce them as deserving of death.
