(1 John 3:8). Christ in Warfare in Noah’s Day—“For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” Christ was engaged in this warfare in Noah’s day. It was His voice that spoke to the inhabitants of the old world in messages of warning, reproof, and invitation. He gave the people a probation of one hundred and twenty years, in which they might have repented. But they chose the deceptions of Satan, and perished in the waters of the Flood (The Review and Herald, March 12, 1901). {1BC 1088.11}

(1 Joh. 3,8). Kristus i krig på Noas dage.- "Men derfor blev Guds Søn åbenbaret, for at han skulle tilintetgøre (1089) Djævelens gerninger." Kristus blev involveret I denne krig i Noas dage. Det var Hans stemme der talte til den gamle verdens beboere i advarsels-, irettesttelses- og indbydelsesbudskaber. Han gav folket en prøvetid på ethundredeogtyve år, hvori de kunne have angret. Men de valgte Satans bedrag, og gik tabt i flodens vande (Samme., 12. marts, 1901).
