Just before the lamb were elevated seats, upon which sat a company looking very happy. The light of heaven seemed to shine upon their faces, and they praised God and sang songs of glad thanksgiving that seemed like the music of the angels. These were they who had come before the lamb, confessed their sins, received pardon, and were now waiting in glad expectation of some joyful event. {1T 27.3}

Lige foran lammet var ophøjede sæder, hvorpå en gruppe meget lykkelige mennesker sad. Himmelens lys syntes at skinne på deres ansigter, og de priste Gud og sang glade taksigelsessange, som syntes at være som englemusik. Disse var dem, der var trådt hen foran lammet og havde bekendt deres synder og modtaget tilgivelse. Nu ventede de i glad forventning på en glædelig begivenhed.
