holding of Sunday when the Sunday law is here. The seal of God is the holding up of Sabbath when the Sunday law is here. Therefore, the seal of God is prophetically identified when the Sunday law arrives. Early writings, 43 and 44. I saw that Satan was at work in these ways to distract, deceive, and draw away God's people just now in this sealing time. I saw that I saw some who were not standing stiffly for present truth. Their knees were trembling and their feet sliding because they were not firmly planted on the truth and the covering of God Almighty could not be drawn over them while they were thus trembling.

But Sister White clearly and the pioneers clearly understood that the sealing was a process of time. It was a ceiling time. And here we see a covering being drawn over the people. Now, this may be a poor illustration, but I don't watch baseball on television any longer. But before I was a Seventh-day Adventist, before I was a Christian, I watched baseball on television. And I can remember times when during a baseball game, the rain would come in and the groundskeeper would have to go out and take a tarp and drag it all the way across the grass and the dirt in the stadium to protect it from the rain. So it didn't get so muddy that when the rain ceased, they couldn't play. But this covering, it wasn't instantaneous. It required them going out and bringing the rolls of tarp out and pushing it and dragging it. And this is certainly not what
