What position will the church take? Will those who in the past have had respect for the law of God, be drawn into the current of evil? Will the almost universal transgression and contempt of the law of God, darken the spiritual atmosphere of the souls of all alike? Will the disrespect of the law of God sweep away the protecting barriers? Because wickedness and lawlessness prevail, is the law of God to be less highly esteemed? Because it is made void by the great majority of those living on the earth, shall the few loyal ones become like all the disloyal, and act as the wicked act? Shall they not rather offer up the prayer of David, “It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy law” (Manuscript 15, 1906)?{3BC 1153.3}

Hvilket standpunkt vil menigheden indtage? Vil dem som tidligere havde respekt for Guds lov, trækkes med i de onde strømme? Vil den næsten universelle overtrædelse og foragt for Guds lov, formørke alle samme sjæles åndelige atmosfære? Vil manglende respekt for Guds lov feje de beskyttende mure bort? Skal Guds lov sættes mindre højt fordi ondskaben og lovløsheden har overhånd? Skal de få loyalister der bor på jorden blive ligeså illoyale og handle som de onde gør, fordi loven sættes ud af kraft at den stor majoritet der lever på jorden? Skal de ikke hellere sende Davids bøn op: ”Det er tid for Herren at gribe ind, de har krænket din lov.” (MS 15, 1906)?
