a lost condition. Now, this has a bearing on the Sunday Law in the sense that to understand the Sunday Law correctly, the Sunday Law is the test where we will manifest which character we've developed prior to the test. This person under discussion here that is going to be judged in the judgment of the living, that will be found wanting, and the Lord will never hear his prayers or entreaties again. When the Sunday Law arrives, the character that he will manifest is that he's going to submit to the Sunday Law and receive the mark of the beast. In opposition to that, those that have been faithful, that Sunday Law test, they're going to uphold the Sabbath, they're going to receive the seal of God. But this process, progressive, there will be people that have closed their probation either for the Lord or against the Lord prior to the Sunday Law. The Sunday Law is the test for Adventism that manifests where we have arrived in our probationary time. The test is also progressive in the sense that Sunday Law test comes to the United States first, the country that has had the greatest opportunity to understand the truth of the three angels message since 1844, the very heart of Adventism. And then we're told that every country on the globe follows her example. Progressive, once again, geographically. Review and Herald, April 2nd, 1895.

Now, what I'm hoping we're going to see here is this progression is if my time of judgment is coming up today and I am found a lost soul, I'm going to be lost for eternity. But I may live well into the time of trouble as a lost soul. I will come to the Sunday Law time period and everyone that knows me will realize that I am a lost soul that understands the message of Adventism because I'm going to start keeping Sunday and I'm going to deny the Sabbath. But prior to that time, I will be either settled into the truth that I cannot be shaken and I'm going to uphold the Sabbath, or I'm going to have totally grieved away the Holy Spirit, preparing for the mark of the beast. Testimonies, Volume 1, 198. Angels keep a faithful record of every man's work and as judgment passes upon the house of God, the sentence of each is recorded by his name and the angel is commissioned to spare not the unfaithful servants, but to cut them down at the time of slaughter. Now, in a following presentation to the study, we're going to...
