CHURCH AND STATE GOVERNMENT IN THE TIME OF DANIEL AND OUR TIME: THE IMAGE OF KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR
"Iron and Clay Mingled is Churchcraft and Statecraft. We have come to a time when God's sacred work is represented by the feet of the image in which the iron was mixed with the miry clay. God has a people, a chosen people, whose discernment must be sanctified, who must not become unholy by laying upon the foundation wood, hay, and stubble. Every soul who is loyal to the commandments of God will see that the distinguishing feature of our faith is the seventh-day Sabbath. If the government would honor the Sabbath as God has commanded, it would stand in the strength of God and in defense of the faith once delivered to the saints.
But statesmen will uphold the spurious sabbath, and will mingle their religious faith with the observance of this child of the papacy, placing it above the Sabbath which the Lord has sanctified and blessed, setting it apart for man to keep holy, as a sign between Him and His people to a thousand generations. The mingling of churchcraft and statecraft is represented by the iron and the clay. This union is weakening all the power of the churches. This investing the church with the power of the state will bring evil results. Men have almost passed the point of God's forbearance. They have invested their strength in politics, and have united with the papacy. But the time will come when God will punish those who have made void His law, and their evil work will recoil upon themselves." Manuscript 63, 1899.
CONTROLLING OTHER MINDS IS HAVING THE MARK OF CAIN:
"Any man, be he minister or layman, who seeks to compel or control the reason of any other man, becomes an agent of Satan, to do his work, and in the sight of the heavenly universe he bears the mark of Cain." Manuscript 29. 1911.

* NOTE:
- Earthly governments have existed ever since Cain rebelled against God and killed his brother Abel. From Nimrod to the tower of Babel, to Babylon to the papacy to today: these powers have the mark of Cain, controlling and compelling the minds of others in their way to worship the Creator.
- Theocracy existed from Adam in the Garden of Eden to the prophet Samuel. When Israel asked to have an earthly king to rule over them like the other nations, instead of God, the theocracy on earth ceased. It will be re-established by Christ on the earth made new.
