A Sign of Obedience . The sign of obedience is the observance of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. If men keep the fourth commandment, they will keep all the rest. It was no human voice that spoke to Moses, giving him the Sabbath as a sign. “The Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily My Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: everyone that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul be cut off from among his people.” {TM 134.2}

Et tegn på lydighed er sabbats-helligholdelsen fra det fjerde bud. Hvis mennesker holder det fjerde bud, vil de holde alle de andre. Det var ingen menneskelig stemme der talte til Moses, om at give ham sabbatten som et tegn. »Herren talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde: Du skal tale til israelitterne og sige: Fremfor alt skal I holde mine sabbatter, thi sabbatten er et tegn mellem mig og eder fra slægt til slægt, for at I skal kende, at jeg Herren er den, der helliger eder. I skal holde sabbatten, thi den skal (135) være eder hellig; den, som vanhelliger den, skal lide døden, ja enhver, som udfører noget arbejde på den, det menneske skal udryddes af sin slægt.«
