A Distinct People With a Testing Message—The Lord has been pleased to give His people the third angel’s message as a testing message to bear to the world. John beholds a people distinct and separate from the world, who refuse to worship the beast or his image, who bear God’s sign, keeping holy His Sabbath—the seventh-day to be kept holy as a memorial of the living God, the Creator of heaven and earth. Of them the apostle writes, “Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”—Letter 98, 1900. {Ev 233.3}

Et særskilt folk med et prøvende budskab. - Herren har fundet det rigtigt at give Sit folk den tredje engels budskab et prøvende budskab at frembære verden. Johannes beskuer et folk der er særligt og udskilt fra verden, som nægter at dyrke dyret og dets billede, som bærer Guds tegn, helligholder Hans sabbat - den syvende dag som helligholdes som en erindring på den levende Gud, himlens og jordens Skaber. Om dem skriver apostlen: "Her er de der holder Guds bud, og Jesu tro." - Brev 98, 1900.
