The trying experiences that came to God’s people in the days of Esther were not peculiar to that age alone. The revelator, looking down the ages to the close of time, has declared, “The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 12:17. Some who today are living on the earth will see these words fulfilled. {FLB 289.3}

Den prøvende erfaring som kom til Guds folk i Esters dage var ikke specielt rettet på de dage. Åbenbareren, der ser ned gennem tiderne til tidens afslutning, har erklæret: ”Og dragen rasede mod kvinden og gik hen for at føre krig mod hendes øvrige børn, som holder fast ved Guds bud og ved Jesu vidnesbyrd.” Åb. 12,17. Nogle som i dag lever på jorden vil se disse ord gå i opfyldelse.
