Through His servants, God gave the Jewish people a last opportunity to repent. He manifested Himself through His witnesses in their arrest, in their trial, and in their imprisonment. Yet their judges pronounced on them the death sentence. They were men of whom the world was not worthy, and by killing them the Jews crucified afresh the Son of God. So it will be again. The authorities will make laws to restrict religious liberty. They will assume the right that is God's alone. They will think they can force the conscience, which God alone should control. Even now they are making a beginning; this work they will continue to carry forward till they reach a boundary over which they cannot step. God will interpose in behalf of His loyal, commandment-keeping people.

Gud gav ved sine tjenere det jødiske folk en sidste mulighed til at omvende sig. Han åbenbarede sig gennem sine vidner, når de blev grebet, under deres forhør og i fængslerne. Alligevel fældede deres dommere dødsdom over dem. De var mænd, som verden ikke var værdig til, og ved at dræbe dem korsfæstede jøderne på ny Guds Søn. Sådan vil det atter ske. Øvrigheden vil lave love, der begrænser religionsfriheden. De vil tiltage sig en ret, som tilkommer Gud alene. De vil mene, at de kan tvinge samvittigheden, som kun Gud burde være herre over. Allerede nu er de ved at gøre begyndelsen. De vil fortsætte med denne gerning, til de når den grænse, som de ikke kan overskride. Gud vil gribe ind og hjælpe sit trofaste folk, som holder hans bud.
