“Choose You This Day Whom Ye Will Serve”There will be a sharp conflict between those who are loyal to God and those who cast scorn upon His law. Reverence for God’s law has been subverted. The religious leaders are teaching for doctrine the commandments of men. As it was in the days of ancient Israel, so it is in this age of the world. But because of the prevalence of disloyalty and transgression, will those who have reverenced the law of God now cherish less respect for it? Will they unite with the powers of earth to make it void? The loyal will not be carried away by the current of evil. They will not throw contempt on that which God has set apart as holy. They will not follow Israel’s example of forgetfulness; they will call to remembrance God’s dealings with His people in all ages, and will walk in the way of His commandments. {8T 120.1}

»Så vælg i dag, hvem I vil tjene«
(120) Der vil en skarp konflikt mellem dem som er loyale mod Gud og dem som kaster skam over hans lov. Ærefrygt for Guds lov er blevet omstyrtet. Religiøse ledere lærer menneskebudenes doktriner. Ligesom det var i det gamle Israels dage, således er det i denne verdens tidsalder. Men på grund af troløshedens og overtrædelsens udbredelse, vil så dem som har æret Guds lov nu have mindre respekt for den? Vil de forene sig med de jordiske kræfter for at ugyldiggøre den? De trofaste vil ikke føres bort af det onde der er nu. De vil ikke kaste foragt over det som Gud har sat som helligt. De vil ikke følge Israels eksempel i glemsomhed; de vil erindre Guds handlemåde over for sit folk i alle tidsaldre og vil vandre på hans buds vej.
