Satan has gained marked advantage in ----- because the people of God have not guarded the outposts. The very men whose labors God has signified that He would accept if they were fully consecrated have been the ones to be deceived, to fail in their duties, and to prove a terrible burden and discouragement, instead of the help and blessing that they should have been. These men who have been trusted to keep the fort have well-nigh betrayed it into the hands of the enemy. They have opened the gates to a wily foe, who has sought to destroy them. {4T 211.2}

Satan har fået markante fordele i ___, fordi Guds folk ikke har bevogtet yderposterne. De mænd, hvis arbejde Gud har sagt han vil antage, hvis de var helt helligede, var netop dem der blev bedraget, svigtede deres opgaver og vist sig som en frygtelig byrde og modarbejdelse, i stedet for den hjælp og velsignelse de burde være. Disse mænd, som er blevet betroet at friholde befæstningen, har næsten forrådt den i fjendens hænder. De har åbnet portene for en listig fjende, som har forsøgt at tilintetgøre dem.
