Beginning of the End - Ellen G. White

festivals were characterized by universal, open impurity.
Polygamy was one of the sins that brought the wrath of God
upon the pre-Flood world, yet after the Flood it again became
widespread. It was Satan's studied effort to pervert marriage, to
weaken its obligations and lessen its sacredness. This was the most
certain way he could deface the image of God in humanity and open
the door to misery and evil.
God Will Win the Battle
A large number of people welcome Satan's deceptions and set
themselves against God, but amid the working of evil, God's plans
move steadily forward to their accomplishment. He is unveiling His
justice and unselfish kindness to all created beings. The whole
human race have become transgressors of God's law, but by the
sacrifice of His Son they may return to God. Through the grace of
Christ they may be enabled to obey the Father's law. In every age
God gathers out a people "in whose heart is My law" (Isaiah 51:7).
God's dealings with rebellion will result in fully unmasking the
work that has been carried on under cover for so long. The results of
setting aside the divine laws will be laid open to the view of all
created beings. All will admit that the law of God is completely
good and right. In the presence of the witnessing universe, Satan
himself will confess the justice of God's government and the
righteousness of His law.
