Pages 589-590
Satan-The
“Through spiritualism, Satan
appears as a benefactor of the
race, healing the diseases of the
people, and professing to present a
new and more exalted system of
religious faith…”
Great Controversy pg. 589

Satan-Studies
“Satan works through the elements
also to garner his harvest of
unprepared souls. He has studied
the secrets of the laboratories of
nature, and he uses all his power to
control the elements as far as God
allows.”

Satan-Afflicts
“When he was suffered to afflict Job,
how quickly flocks and herds,
servants, houses, children, were
swept away, one trouble
succeeding another as in a
moment.”

Satan-The
It is God that shields His creatures
and hedges them in from the power
of the destroyer. But the Christian
world have shown contempt for the
law of Jehovah;

Satan-The
and the Lord will do just what He
has declared that He would He will
withdraw His blessings from the
earth and remove His protecting
care from those who are rebelling
against His law and teaching and
forcing others to do the same.

Satan-Prospers
Satan has control of all whom God
does not especially guard. He will
favor and prosper some in order to
further his own designs, and he will
bring trouble upon others and lead
men to believe that it is God who is
afflicting them.”

Satan-A Great
“While appearing to the children of
men as a great physician who can
heal all their maladies, he will bring
disease and disaster, until populous
cities are reduced to ruin and
desolation. Even now he is at work.

Satan-At Work
In accidents and calamities by sea
and by land, in great conflagrations,
in fierce tornadoes and terrific
hailstorms, in tempests, floods,
cyclones, tidal waves,

Satan-At Work
and earthquakes, in every place and
in a thousand forms, Satan is
exercising his power.

Satan-At Work
Never did this message apply with
greater force than it applies today.
More and more the world is setting
at nought the claims of God. Men
have become bold in transgression.
7 Testimony 141
Satan-At Work
The wickedness of the inhabitants of
the world has almost filled up the
measure of their iniquity. This earth
has almost reached the place
where God will permit the destroyer
to work his will upon it.
7 Testimony 141
Satan-At Work
The substitution of the laws of men
for the law of God, the exaltation, by
merely human authority, of Sunday
in place of the Bible Sabbath, is the
last act in the drama. When this
substitution becomes universal,
God will reveal Himself.
7 Testimony 141
Satan-At Work
He will arise in His majesty to shake
terribly the earth. He will come out
of His place to punish the
inhabitants of the world for their
iniquity, and the earth shall disclose
her blood and shall no more cover
her slain.
7 Testimony 141

Satan-More Frequent
He sweeps away the ripening
harvest, and famine and distress
follow. He imparts to the air a
deadly taint, and thousands perish
by the pestilence. These visitations
are to become more and more
frequent and disastrous.

Satan-More Frequent
Destruction will be upon both man
and beast.

Isaiah 24:4, 5.
"The earth mourneth and

fadeth away," "the haughty
people . . . do languish. The
earth also is defiled under
the inhabitants thereof;
because they have
transgressed the laws,
changed the ordinance,
Satan-Scapegoat True
And then the great deceiver will
persuade men that those who serve
God are causing these evils. The
class that have provoked the
displeasure of Heaven will charge
all their troubles upon those

whose obedience to God's
commandments is a perpetual
reproof to transgressors. It will be
declared that men are offending
God by the violation of the Sunday
sabbath;

that this sin has brought
calamities which will not cease
until Sunday observance shall be
strictly enforced;

and that those who present the
claims of the fourth
commandment, thus destroying
reverence for Sunday, are
troublers of the people,

preventing their restoration to
divine favor and temporal
prosperity. Destruction will be
upon both man and beast.

Thus the accusation urged of old
against the servant of God will be
repeated and upon grounds equally
well established:

"And it came to pass, when Ahab
saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him,
Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
And he answered, I have not
troubled Israel; but thou, and thy
father's house,

in that ye have forsaken the
commandments of the Lord, and
thou hast followed Baalim." 1 Kings
18:17, 18.

As the wrath of the people shall be
excited by false charges, they will
pursue a course toward God's
ambassadors very similar to that
which apostate Israel pursued
toward Elijah.”

Satan-Conspire with
“Satan will excite indignation against
the humble minority who
conscientiously refuse to accept
popular customs and traditions.
Men of position and reputation will
join with the lawless and the vile to

take counsel against the people of
God. Wealth, genius, education, will
combine to cover them with
contempt. Persecuting rulers,
ministers, and church members
will conspire against them.

Satan-Conspire with
With voice and pen, by boasts,
threats, and ridicule, they will seek
to overthrow their faith. By false
representations and angry appeals,
they will stir up the passions of the
people.

Satan-Conspire with
Not having a "Thus saith the
Scriptures" to bring against the
advocates of the Bible Sabbath,
they will resort to oppressive
enactments to supply the lack.

Satan-Conspire with
To secure popularity and patronage,
legislators will yield to the
demand for a Sunday law. . . . On
this battlefield comes the last great
conflict of the controversy between
truth and error.”

Satan-Conspire with
“There are many who will tell you
that if you keep the law of God you
have fallen from grace. They make
strong assertions for which they
have no foundation, to lead people
astray, for they do not know
whereof they speak.
Signs of the Time April 22, 1889

Satan-Conspire with
The prophet says, "Bind up the
testimony, seal the law among my
disciples.”

Satan-Conspire with
Those who are seeking to destroy
the law are not of the class who are
sealing the law among the disciples
of Christ, but they are of the class
who "shall stumble, and fall, and be
broken, and be snared, and be
taken.”

Satan-Conspire with
The dragon is represented as
persecuting those who keep God's
commandments. Evil angels
conspire with evil men against
God and his people.

Satan-Conspire with
Persons of influence are stirred with
a power from beneath; the
energies of apostasy are united
to deceive or to destroy the
champions of truth.

No Safety in Miracles

in working miracles; for Satan will
counterfeit the miracles that will be
wrought. God’s tried and tested people
will find their power in the sign spoken
of in Exodus 31:1218.

proper food
Do not have too great a variety
at a meal; three or four dishes
are a plenty. At the next meal
you can have a change.

2
proper food
…the stomach should not be

There should not be many kinds
at any one meal, but all meals
should not be composed of the

2
proper food
It would be much better to eat
only two or three different kinds
of food at a meal than to load
the stomach with many
varieties.

2
proper food
Many are made sick by the indulgence of their
appetite. . . . So many varieties are
introduced into the stomach that
fermentation is the result. This condition
brings on acute disease, and death frequently
follows.

2
proper food
The variety of food at one meal
causes unpleasantness, and
destroys the good which each
article, if taken alone, would do
the system. This practice
causes constant suffering, and
often death.
2
proper food
If your work is sedentary, take
exercise every day, and at each
meal eat only two or three
kinds of simple food, taking no
more of these than will satisfy
the demands of hunger.

Drugs Do Not Cure

“When you understand
physiology in its truest sense,
your drug bills will be very
much smaller, and finally you
will cease to deal out drugs at

2 Selected Message 283-284

7
Drugs Do Not Cure

The physician who depends
upon drug medication in his
practice, shows that he does
not understand the delicate
machinery of the human
organism.

7
Drugs Do Not Cure

He is introducing into the
machinery of the system a seed
crop that will never lose its
destroying properties
throughout the lifetime.

7
Drugs Do Not Cure

I tell you this because I dare
not withhold it. Christ paid
too much for man’s
redemption to have his
body so ruthlessly treated
as it has been by drug
medication.”
8
Use Nature’s Doctors

“Pure air, sunlight,
abstemiousness, rest, exercise,
proper diet, the use of water,
trust in divine power these are
the true remedies.
Ministry of Healing 127

8

Every person should have a
knowledge of nature’s remedial
agencies and how to apply
them.

It is essential both to
understand the principles
involved in the treatment of the
sick and to have a practical
training that will enable one
rightly to use this knowledge.

In Order to be Fitted
for Translation
“In order to be fitted for
translation, the people of God
must know themselves.

for Translation
They must understand in regard
to their own physical frames,
that they may be able with the
psalmist to exclaim, ‘I will
praise Thee, for I am fearfully
and wonderfully made.’

for Translation
They should ever have the
appetite in subjection to the
moral and intellectual organs.
The body should be servant to
the mind, and not the mind to
the body.”

for Immortality
“Men, then, can make their
bodies unholy by sinful
indulgences. If unholy, they are
unfitted to be spiritual
worshipers, and are not worthy
of heaven.

for Immortality
If man will cherish the light that
God in mercy gives him upon
health reform, he may be
sanctified through the truth,

Herbs & Roots
“God has caused to grow out of the ground, herbs

for the use of man, and if we understand the
nature of those roots and herbs, and make a right
use of them, there would not be a necessity of
running for the doctor so frequently, and people
would be in much better health than they are
today. I believe in calling upon the Great Physician
when we have used the remedies I have
mentioned.”
2 Selected Messages, 297-298.
Doctor & Drugs
““When you understand physiology in its truest
sense, your drug bills will be very much smaller, and
finally you will cease to deal out drugs at all. The physician
who depends upon drug medication in his practice, shows
that he does not understand the delicate
machinery of the human organism. He is introducing
into the machinery of the system a seed crop that will
never lose its destroying properties throughout the lifetime. I
tell you this because I dare not withhold it.
Christ paid too much for man’s redemption to have
his body so ruthlessly treated as it has been by drug
medication.”—2 Selected Messages, 283-284.
Doctor & Drugs
““The physician who depends upon drug medication in his
practice, shows that he does not understand the delicate
machinery of the human organism. He is introducing into the
system a seed crop that will never lose its destroying
properties throughout the lifetime. Years ago the Lord
revealed to me that institutions should be established
treating the sick without drugs. Man is God’s property, and the
ruin that has been made of the living habitation, the suffering
caused by the seeds of death sown in the human system, are
an offense to God.”—Medical Ministry 229
DRUGS A FFE CT PE OPLE
PH YSI CALLY, M ENT AL LY, A ND
Physicians, by administering their drug poisons, have done
very much to increase the depreciation of the race, physically,
mentally, and morally. Everywhere you go you will see
deformity, disease and imbecility, which in very many cases
can be traced directly back to the drug poisons, administered
by the hand of a doctor, as a remedy for some of life’s ills. The
so-called remedy has fearfully proved itself to the patient by
stern suffering experience to be far worse than the disease
for which the drug was taken. All who possess common
capabilities should understand the wants of their own
system.
DRUGS A FFE CT PE OPLE
PH YSI CALLY, M ENT AL LY, A ND
The philosophy of health should compose one of the
important studies for our children. It is all-important that the
human organism be understood, and then intelligent men and
women can be their own physicians. If the people would
reason from cause to effect, and would follow the light which
shines upon them, they would pursue a course which would
insure health, and mortality would be far less. But the people
are too willing to remain in inexcusable ignorance, and trust
their bodies to the doctors, instead of having any special
responsibility in the matter themselves.”—Disease and its
Causes, 53-54
DRU GS W EA KEN DI RE CTL Y,
AN D A LSO THR OUGH
“If those who take these drugs were alone the sufferers, the
evil would not be as great. But parents not only sin against
themselves in swallowing drug poisons, but they sin against
their children. The vitiated state of their blood, the poison
distributed throughout the system, the broken constitutions,
and various drug diseases as the result of drug poisons are
transmitted to their offspring, and left them as a wretched
inheritance, which is another great cause of the degeneracy
of the race.”—How to Live, 53.

“The Lord has taught us that great efficacy for healing lies in a
proper use of water. These treatments should be given
skillfully. We have been instructed that in our treatment of the
sick we should discard the use of drugs. There are simple
herbs that can be used for the recovery of the sick, whose
effect upon the system is very different from that of those
drugs that poison the blood and endanger life.”—2 Selected
Messages, 288.“
DRU GS E NDAN GER L IFE
“Medical missionary work is the pioneer work of the gospel,
the door through which the truth for this time is to find
entrance to many homes. God’s people are to be genuine
medical missionaries, for they are to learn to minister to the
needs of both soul and body. The purest unselfishness is to be
shown by our workers as, with the knowledge and experience
gained by the practical work, they go out to give treatments to
the sick. As they go from house to house they will find access
to many hearts.” —Welfare Ministry,
ONE W AY
“There are many ways of practicing the healing art, but there
is only one way that Heaven approves. God’s remedies are the
simple agencies of nature, that will not tax or debilitate the
system through their powerful properties.” —Counsels on

“….Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from
conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health….”
