Statesmen

The Holy Spirit "still controls to some extent the laws of the Land. Were it not for these laws, the condition of the world would be much worse than it now is.

"While many of our rulers are active agents of Satan, God also has His agents among the leading men of the nation.

"  The enemy (Satan ) moves upon his servants to propose measures that would greatly impede the work of God; but statesmen who fear the Lord are influenced by holy angels to oppose such propositions with unanswerable arguments.

"Thus a few men (women) will hold in check a powerful current of evil."

        The Great Controversy, 610-611, e g white

Political Corruption

Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance.
Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected.

The Great Controversy 592, E G White

Stupendous Crisis Coming

The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living.
Rulers and statesmen, (those) who occupy positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us.

They are watching the relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place...that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.
