7-9. Union Through a Dragonic Bond—A spirit of hatred and opposition to the Hebrews formed the bond of union, and created the mutual sympathy among different bodies of men, who otherwise might have warred against each other. This will illustrate what we frequently witness in our day in the existing union of men of different denominations to oppose the present truth, whose only bond seems to be that which is dragonic in its nature, manifesting hatred and bitterness against the remnant who keep the commandments of God. “Nevertheless, we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.” {3BC 1137.5}

7-9. Forenet med et dragonisk forbund. - Et had og modstand mod Hebræerne dannede et forbund, og skabte gensidig forståelse iblandt forskellige menneskegrupper, som ellers kunne (1138) have bekriget hinanden. Dette vil illustrere hvad vi ofte er vidne til i vore dage i de eksisterende enheder af mennesker fra forskellige trossamfund, for at modsætte sig den nærværende sandhed, hvis eneste forbund synes at være af det som er dragonisk i sin art, at udvise had og bitterhed imod det restfolk som holder Guds bud. ”Da bad vi til vor Gud og satte vagt både dag og nat for at værne os imod dem.”
