Through centuries of persecution, conflict, and darkness, God has sustained His church. Not one cloud has fallen upon it that He has not prepared for; not one opposing 12 force has risen to counterwork His work, that He has not foreseen. All has taken place as He predicted. He has not left His church forsaken, but has traced in prophetic declarations what would occur, and that which His Spirit inspired the prophets to foretell has been brought about. All His purposes will be fulfilled. His law is linked with His throne, and no power of evil can destroy it. Truth is inspired and guarded by God; and it will triumph over all opposition.

Gennem århundreders forfølgelse, strid og mørke har Gud opretholdt sin menighed. Ingen sky har sænket sig over den, som han ikke har beredt den til; ingen modvirkende kraft er opstået for at nedbryde hans værk, uden at han har forudset den. Alt, hvad han har forudsagt, har fundet sted. Han har ikke svigtet sin menighed og overladt den til sig selv, men har ved profetiske forkyndelser angivet, hvad der skulle ske, og det, som hans Ånd tilsagde profeterne at forudsige, er gået i opfyldelse. Alle hans planer vil blive fuldbyrdede. Hans lov er fast forbundet med hans trone, og ingen ond magt kan tilintetgøre den. Sandheden er åbenbaret og vogtet af Gud, og den vil komme til at besejre al modstand.
