Few who are professedly of Israel, and whose minds have been enlightened by the revelations of divine wisdom, dare to come boldly forward, as did Caleb, and stand firmly for God and the right. Because those whom the Lord has chosen to conduct His work will not be turned from the course of integrity to gratify the selfish and unconsecrated, they become the target for hatred and malicious falsehood. Satan is wide awake and working warily in these last days, and God calls for men of spiritual nerve and stamina to resist his artifices. {4T 155.2}

Få er de Israels-bekendere, hvis sind er blevet oplyst af guddommelig visdoms åbenbaringer, vover at komme frimodigt frem, som Kaleb gjorde og stå fast for Gud og det rigtige. For dem Herren har valgt til at udføre hans arbejde vil ikke vendes fra retsindighedens vej til at tilfredsstille den egenkærlige og uhellige, de vil blive skydeskive for had og ondskab. Satan er helt vågen og er på vagt i disse sidste dage og Gud kalder åndeligt faste og modstandsdygtige mennesker til at modstå hans list.
