Ellen G White
Her words are from God as shown here, men will blame disasters on not keeping Sunday holy .
"Men in responsible positions will not only ignore and
despise the Sabbath themselves, but from the sacred desk, will urge upon the
people the observance of the first day of the week, pleading tradition and
custom in behalf of this man-made institution. They will point to calamities on land and sea—to the storms of wind, the
floods, the earthquakes, the destruction by fire—as judgments indicating God's
displeasure because Sunday is not sacredly observed."
—Signs
of the Times, January 17, 1884
“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." —Great Controversy,
pp. 589, 590

A
Christian minister claims the tsunami of Sunday, Dec. 26, killing at least
160,000 people, was direct result of "pleasure seekers" breaking God's
Sabbath.
In the
February issue of his church magazine, Rev. John MacLeod of the Free Presbyterian Church of
Scotland writes: "Possibly ... no event since Noah's flood has caused such
loss of life by drowning as the recent Asian tsunami. That so many of our fellow
creatures should have perished in so short a time, and in so awful a fashion,
was a divine visitation that ought to make men tremble the world over."
He
continued: "Some of the places most affected by the tsunami attracted
pleasure-seekers from all over the world. It has to be noted that the wave
arrived on the Lord's day, the day God set apart to be observed the world
over as a holy resting from all employments and recreations that are lawful on
other days." The
tsunami, a series of tidal waves sparked by a subsea earthquake off Sumatra,
arrived on Sunday morning, the day after Christmas, in countries including
Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand. MacLeod
said: "To rule out the hand of God in this ... is to forget that He is in
sovereign control of all events. If the sparrow falling to the ground is an
event noted, and ordered, by Him, how much is this the case when the souls of so
many thousands are parted from their bodies?" The
74-year-old minister, now living in the London area after spending 35 years in
Stornoway, Scotland, concluded: "Do not worldliness, materialism, hedonism,
uncleanness, and pleasure-seeking characterize our own generation to a great
extent and does not this solemn visitation in providence reminds us that He
remains the same God still? God is no idle spectator of what is happening here
in time and treats men with the sharpness and severity in order that they may
know their vices."
