The Great Second Advent Movement: Its Rise and Progress

Catholic and Protestant Unity

In this connection we will refer to another prediction made in 1885, and found also in Testimony No. 32:— GSAM 455.1

“When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power; when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism; when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provisions for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan, and that the end is near.” ⁷ GSAM 455.2

To show how the first part of this prediction is already fulfilling, we need only to call attention to what is transpiring around us. See Protestants, both ministers and people, courting the favor of the Catholics, inviting them to attend their associations, etc. Be it remembered that hardly a vestige of what is now seen in this line was apparent in 1885, when the above testimony was given. GSAM 455.3

To illustrate how the Protestants are reaching for the hand and help of papists, I quote from the Kansas City (Mo.) Star of March 18, 1896. GSAM 455.4
