“Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.” Jeremiah 48:11. This is true of many of the believers who are coming to Battle Creek. Many have a spasmodic zeal in battle, but their light is like that of a meteor that flashes across the heavens and then goes out. {8T 150.2}

»Moab var tryg fra sin ungdom, lå roligt på sin bærme; det hældtes ikke fra fad til fad og vandrede ikke i landflygtighed; derfor holdt det sin smag og dets duft tabte sig ikke.« Jer.48,11. Det er sandt for mange troende som kommer til Battle Creek. Mange har en krampagtig iver for slaget, men deres lys er ligesom et meteor, der lyser ud over himmelhvælvingen og så går ud.
