The sign, or seal, of God is revealed in the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath, the Lord’s memorial of creation. “The Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily My Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.” Exodus 31:12, 13. Here the Sabbath is clearly designated as a sign between God and His people. {8T 117.3}

Guds tegn eller Guds segl bliver åbenbaret ved helligholdelsen af den syvende-dags sabbat. Herrens mindemærke over skabelsen. »Herren talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde: Du skal tale til israelitterne og sige: Fremfor alt skal I holde mine sabbater; thi sabbaten er et tegn mellem mig og eder fra slægt til slægt, for at I skal kende, at jeg Herren er den, der helliger eder.« 2 Mos. 31, 12.13. Her er sabbaten klart angivet som et tegn mellem Gud og hans folk.
