America in Prophecy by Ellen White [Modern Version]

spiritual Rock that followed them," the word "followed" is translated from the same Greek
word, and the margin has it, "went with them." From this we learn that the idea in Revelation
14:8, 9 is not simply that the second and third angels followed the first in point of time, but
that they went with him. The three messages are but one threefold message. They are three
only in the order of their rise. But having risen, they go on together and are inseparable.

assumption of supremacy by the bishops of Rome, see Robert Francis Cardinal Bellarmine,
Power of the Popes in Temporal Affairs (there is an English translation in the Library of
Congress, Washington, D. C.); Henry Edward Cardinal Manning, The Temporal Power of the
Vicar of Jesus Christ (London: Burns and Lambert, 2d ed., 1862); and James Cardinal Gibbons,
Faith of Our Fathers (Baltimore: John Murphy Co., 110th ed., 1917), chs. 5, 9, 10, 12. For
Protestant authors see Trevor Gervase Jalland, The Church and the Papacy (London: Society
for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1944, a Bampton
Lecture); and Richard Frederick Littledale, Petrine Claims (London: Society for
Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1899). For sources of the early centuries of the Petrine
theory, see James T. Shotwell and Louise Ropes Loomis, The See of Peter (New York: Columbia
University Press, 1927). For the false "Donation of Constantine" see Christopher B. Coleman,
The Treatise of Lorenzo Valla on the Donation of Constantine (New York, 1914), which gives
the full Latin text and translation, and a complete criticism of the document and its thesis.

Page 578. The Ethiopian Church and the Sabbath.--Until rather recent years the Coptic
Church of Ethiopia observed the seventh-day Sabbath. The Ethiopians also kept Sunday, the
first day of the week, throughout their history as a Christian people. These days were marked
by special services in the churches. The observance of the seventh-day Sabbath has, however,
virtually ceased in modern Ethiopia. For eyewitness accounts of religious days in Ethiopia, see

English in London: British Museum, 1938), p. 79; Father Francisco Alverez, Narrative of the
Portuguese Embassy to Abyssinia During the Years 1520-1527, in the records of the Hakluyt
Society (London, 1881), vol. 64, pp. 2249; Michael Russell, Nubia and Abyssinia (Quoting
