The third angel of Revelation 14 is represented as flying swiftly through the midst of heaven crying: “Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Here is shown the nature of the work of the people of God. They have a message of so great importance that they are represented as flying in the presentation of it to the world. They are holding in their hands the bread of life for a famishing world. The love of Christ constraineth them. This is the last message. There are no more to follow, no more invitations of mercy to be given after this message shall have done its work. What a trust! What a responsibility is resting upon all to carry the words of gracious invitation: “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” {5T 206.3}

Den tredje engel i åbenbaringen 14 fremstilles som flyvende hurtigt over himmelhvælvingen og råber: »Her gælder det om udholdenhed for de hellige, der holder fast ved Guds bud og troen på Jesus.« Her er vist hvilket arbejde Guds folk har. De har et budskab af så stor vigtighed, at de fremstilles som flyvende når de overbringer det til verden. De holder livets brød i deres hænder, overfor en hungrende verden. Kristi kærlighed tvang dem. Dette er det (207) sidste budskab. Der følger intet efter, ingen flere nådes-invitationer gives efter at dette budskab har gjort sit værk. Hvilken tillid! Hvilket ansvar hviler på alle, at frembære de nådige indbydende ord: »Og Ånden og bruden siger: »Kom!« Og den, som hører, skal sige: »Kom!« Og den, som tørster, skal komme; den, som vil, skal modtage livets vand uforskyldt.«
