Neglect to repent and obey His word will bring as serious consequences upon God’s people today as did the same sin upon ancient Israel. There is a limit beyond which He will no longer delay His judgments. The desolation of Jerusalem stands as a solemn warning before the eyes of modern Israel, that the corrections given through His chosen instruments cannot be disregarded with impunity. {4T 166.4}

(167) Uvilighed at ville omvende sig og lyde hans ord vil få lige så alvorlige følger for Guds folk i dag, som den samme synd fik det for det gamle Israel. Der er en grænse, hvor hans dom ikke tøver længere.] Jerusalems ødelæggelse står som en alvorlig advarsel for øjnene af det moderne Israel, således at irettesættelserne gennem hans udvalgte redskaber ikke kan ignoreres ustraffet.
