The Impending Conflict compiles Ellen G. White's urgent warnings about approaching crisis over worship—the final test between God's law and human tradition. This prophetic work traces escalating conflict culminating in worldwide Sunday law enforcement, persecution of Sabbath-keepers, and close of probation. White describes two classes emerging: those receiving mark of beast through Sunday observance, and those sealed with God's seal through Sabbath faithfulness. The compilation addresses preparation required—developing unwavering faith, overcoming every sin, storing Scripture in memory, and maintaining connection with Christ when external supports removed. White's descriptions of time of trouble, seven last plagues, and Satan's final deceptions provide solemn motivation for immediate preparation. The work concludes with deliverance of God's people and Christ's glorious return, showing ultimate triumph despite apparent defeat.
Absolutely essential for understanding final crisis. Powerful for those questioning Sabbath's importance. Anyone preparing for persecution needs practical counsel. This work transforms abstract prophecy into personal preparation mandate.
“The battle of Armageddon will be fought over the Sabbath question.”
