Saul knew that in this last act, of consulting the witch of Endor, he cut the last shred which held him to God. He knew that if he had not before wilfully separated himself from God, this act sealed that separation, and made it final. He had made an agreement with death, and a covenant with hell. The cup of his iniquity was full (The Spirit of Prophecy 1:376, 377).{2BC 1023.1}

Saul vidste at han i denne sidste handling, at rådføre sig med Endors troldkvinde, afskar han den sidste strimmel som holdt ham til Gud. Han vidste at hvis han ikke havde adskilt sig selv så bevidst fra Gud, så ville denne handling besegle denne adskillelse, og gøre det endeligt. Han indgik en aftale med døden, og en pagt med helvede. Syndens bæger var fyldt (SP 1:376, 377).
