The history of the Sabbath embraces a period of 6,000 years. The
seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord. The acts which constituted
it such were, first, the examples of the Creator; secondly, His
placing His blessing upon the day; and thirdly, the sanctification
or divine appointment of the day to a holy use. The Sabbath,
therefore, dates from the beginning of our world's history. It is
the object of this volume to note the record of the Sabbath in
secular history and show the several steps by which the Sunday
festival has usurped the place of this ancient Sabbath.
John Nevins Andrews (1829-1883) was a Seventh-day Adventist
minister, missionary, writer, editor, and scholar. Born in Poland,
Maine in 1829, Andrews began to observe the seventh-day Sabbath in
1845. Ordained as a minister in 1853, Andrews played a pivotal role
in the establishment of Adventist theology. Andrews wrote a number
of scholarly religious books, his most famous being "The History of
the Sabbath and the First Day of the Week." During his long and
illustrious career, he also served as the Adventist representative
in Washington to secure recognition for the church as
noncombatants, served as the third president of the General
Conference, and also as editor of the Review and Herald magazine.
After his wife (Angeline) died from a stroke, Andrews was sent as a
missionary to Europe where he helped start a publishing house in
Switzerland and also a French periodical. Andrews University in
Berrien Springs, Michigan was named after him in 1960, as well as a
school in Takoma Park, Maryland. Though many years have passed
since John Andrews death, his scholarly legacy lives on in the
numerous books he wrote, and the educational institutions that bear
his name.

The Bible is full of the references to the second coming of the
Saviour and the events of the great day of God. The language of the
inspired writers expresses in the most vivid manner the awful and
terrific scenes of that day in which God arises from His place to
punish the inhabitants of the earth. God always warns before He
sends His judgments. As He warned Sodom and Gomorrah before sending
fire and brimstone and the antediluvian world through Noah before
the flood, even so today He is sending a message of warning. In
Revelation, Chapter 14, we find the three angels' message which is
being heralded around the world.
