2. Mightiest Angel Caused Earthquake—Before anyone had reached the sepulcher, there was a great earthquake. The mightiest angel from heaven, he who held the position from which Satan fell, received his commission from the Father, and clothed with the panoply of heaven, he parted the darkness from his track. His face was like the lightning, and his garments white as snow. As soon as his feet touched the ground it quaked beneath his tread. The Roman guard were keeping their weary watch when this wonderful scene took place, and they were enabled to endure the sight, for they had a message to bear as witnesses of the resurrection of Christ. The angel approached the grave, rolled away the stone as though it had been a pebble, and sat upon it. The light of heaven encircled the tomb, and the whole heaven was lighted by the glory of the angels. Then his voice was heard, “Thy Father calls Thee; come forth” (Manuscript 115, 1897).{5BC 1110.3}

2. Mægtigste engel skabte jordskælv. - Før nogen havde nået graven, var der et mægtigt jordskælv. Den mægtigste engel fra himlen, han som bibeholdt den position, som Satan faldt fra, fik sin opgave fra Faderen, og iklædte sig himlens fulde rustning, han adskilte mørket fra sit spor. Hans ansigt var som lynild, og hans glæder så hvide som sne. Lige så snart hans fødder berørte jorden, skælvede den under hans fodtrin. De romerske vagtfolk holdt deres tunge vagt, medens dette forunderlige sceneri fandt sted, og de var i stand til at udholde dette syn, for de havde et budskab at frembære som vidne for Kristi genopstandelse. Englen nærmede sig graven, rullede stenen bort, som om den var en småsten, og satte sig på den. Himlens lys kredsede sig om graven, og hele himlen blev oplyst af englenes herlighed. Da kunne hans stemme høres: ”Din fader kalder dig; kom frem” (MS 115, 1897).
