which came out of Bible Commentary, Volume 7, page 977, that Sister White is clear that the Sunday law that fulfills Bible prophecy will come through the legislative branch of the United States. It's not going to be a secret law that Bill Clinton or another president signs in in the middle of the night and the next day. There's a Sunday law. That doesn't fulfill prophecy. It doesn't fulfill the circumstances that have been defined and set forth for us that this issue will be discussed. It will be acted upon by the people of the land and even some of the legislators of this country will begin to see the the truth of religious liberty if they don't already and they will make a stand during this argument for the truth.
