The outposts are to be kept guarded. There are to be men to hold the fort, while the advancing forces are engaged in active warfare. To every man is given his work. We are not to echo the words of those in error, but to inculcate ideas of truth. Our work is to benefit our fellowmen. We are not to travel over the track of opponents to the truth, but to sound the message of the third angel, who is flying in the midst of heaven proclaiming the note of warning, the commandments of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ. {TM 236.3}

Forposterne skal holdes bevogtede. Der er mennesker som skal forsvare borgen, når de fremadrykkende styrker er i gang med en aktiv krig. For ethvert menneske er (237) givet sit arbejde. Vi skal ikke gentage ordne fra dem der er i vildfarelse, men indskærpe sandhedens tanker. Vort arbejde gavner vore medmennesker. Vi skal ikke gå over modstanderens spor til sandheden, men udtale den tredje engels budskab, der flyver under himlens midte og proklamerer advarslen, Guds bud og Jesu Kristi vidnesbyrd.
