Two very good posts and quotes, as that is exactly what our response should be to do just that.

Ok. but why worry about it? You know the time is coming. Here is a blueprint. she says to be involved in missionary work, and to have meetings and sing the old hymns Why dont you just do what she says? Looks like, from the last line, that souls can be won? You will thus learn much about how to work, and will reach many souls.
This is what we should do. When they see that we employ ourselves on Sunday in visiting the people and opening the Scriptures to them, they will know that it is useless for them to try to hinder our work by making Sunday laws. Sunday can be used for carrying forward various lines of work that will accomplish much for the Lord. On this day open-air meetings and cottage meetings can be held. House-to-house work can be done. Those who write can devote this day to writing their articles. Whenever it is possible, let religious services be held on Sunday. Make these meetings intensely interesting. Sing genuine revival hymns, and speak with power and assurance of the Saviour's love And we see how we are kept from even these basic things by the pandemic, we even had to stop our services to quarantine some leaders and members. We are planning to start back soon..

I was reading how many in the church thought the end times would unfold and came across this... The account on your linked page appears to have been "suspended"...

I find it very interesting that this is all happening in the time of the eighth Papal king since the Lateran Treaty, the first Jesuit Pope.

I find it very interesting that this is all happening in the time of the eighth Papal king since the Lateran Treaty, the first Jesuit Pope. Yes, world events have been lining up rapidly to fulfill Biblical prophesy, since Francis ascended the throne. It is amazing to watch the formerly Protestant churches scrambling to sign treaties of surrender to the Jesuit leader. How can they forget that The Society of Jesus was formed for the express purpose of destroying Protestantism!

Didn't EGW write something about "forgetfulness"?

Is the endtime different than we expected?
I think it could be rather different than we expected. We kind of expected it to be the Protestants in the USA that would bring in a return to a form of a very recognizable Christianity to the world in the last crises. But I think we failed to put enough meaning to the terms "apostate Protestantism". Protestantism is Christian. Protestantism brought back the gospel to the people, and broke the ties with the papacy and stood firmly for truth --- But this new movement being entered into by former protestants with Jesuit training and co-operation is a global religion that abhors standing up for individual conviction of truth.
Indeed the PURPOSE of Jesuits was/is to destroy Protestantism. Protestantism is now almost completely dead. It's been declared dead. Protestants are slowly being stripped of all their unique beliefs and pulled into an illusive idea of "common good" love-ism, which isn't godly love at all but an increasing mandate to tolerate evil as being the virtue.
It's easy to see how those holding to Advent beliefs will be seen as the great evil -- for true believing Adventists, will not give up their unique beliefs and obedience to God. They will not lay aside their convictions to blend into the great (and futile) attempt to unite the world in which the word "love" and "unselfish" become synonymous with giving up our unique beliefs and individual convictions. The new movement spearheaded by the Jesuits to bring all nations under the religious domination of the pope is a "new age" (old paganism) social/marxist movement, that uses scripture (and other religious books) on points that seem to uphold their philosophies. It's a social justice, nature based religion, with a communist style of equality to all. And as to religion, worship any god of your choosing, (the Hebrew God, the Hindu gods, the Muslim god, the Chinese gods, whatever) Just worship in brotherly love and unity every Sunday, in solidarity, as we save the earth and break down all borders, fundamental beliefs, and cultural ideals and bring in the utopia ..... BUT it will be utter disaster -- a time of trouble such as never was.

The king of the South (Atheistic powers, Socialism/ progressives) are pushing at the king of the North (Papacy and her daughters). The only thing that was unexpected for me was how they used a manufactured virus and election fraud to overthrow a sitting president. But with how the protestant churches were embarrassed by falsely claiming to have been told by God that Trump would win you can bet they will get revenge.

The Testimonies say that parts of the prophecies of Daniel 11 will be repeated in the end. That is what we are seeing right now.

You may be right. However, it's the Catholic president now in office who is all for Climate change measures and the global reset, and very much into implementing the papal ideas into a global program -- Biden, who ran on the most progressive and comprehensive climate plan of any presidential candidate in history, took the oath of office just before noon [Jan. 20,2021] ...and Wednesday evening signed executive orders aimed at aggressively fighting both the pandemic and climate change The encyclical on global climate change measures has in it the call to making Sunday a day to give the earth a rest. It's an ingenious way of bringing Sunday laws into the WHOLE WORLD of many religions, and non-religious, by having them thinking it's for the "common good" of all, and good for the earth. Of course once, the Sunday "for the common good" is implemented -- then (as crises worsen) the religious reasons for Sunday keeping will be implemented,
