3, 4 (Matthew 5:17, 18; see EGW comment on 1 Timothy 2:5; Revelation 13:11-17; 14:8, 9-12; Revelation 18:1-5). The Representative of Satan—There is one pointed out in prophecy as the man of sin. He is the representative of Satan. Taking the suggestions of Satan concerning the law of God, which is as unchangeable as His throne, this man of sin comes in and represents to the world that he has changed that law, and that the first day of the week instead of the seventh is now the Sabbath. Professing infallibility, he claims the right to change the law of God to suit his own purposes. By so doing, he exalts himself above God, and leaves the world to infer that God is fallible. If it were indeed true that God had made a rule of government that needed to be changed, it would certainly show fallibility.{7BC 910.3}

3, 4 (Matt. 5,17. 18; se EGW til 1 Tim. 2,5; Åb. 13,11-17; 14,8. 9-12; 18,1-5). Satans repræsentant.-- I profetien er der udpeget en som syndens menneske. Han er Satans repræsentant. Ved at tage Satans antydninger om Guds lov, som er ligeså uforanderlige som Sin trone, kommer dette syndens menneske ind og fremviser verden at han har forandret den lov, og at den første dag i ugen nu er sabbat i stedet for den syvende dag. Ved at bekende sig til ufejlbarlighed påberåber han sig ret til at ændre Guds lov og tilpasse hans egne hensigter. Når han gør dette, ophøjer han sig selv over Gud, og lader verden udlede at Gud er fejlbarlig. Hvis det virkeligt var rigtigt at Gud havde gjort et regeringsdekret, der behøver at blive forandre, ville dette visselig vise fejlbarligheden.
