When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy, the Sabbath was given to the world, that man might ever remember that in six days God created the world. He rested upon the seventh day, blessing it as the day of His rest, and gave it to the beings He had created, that they might remember Him as the true and living God. By His mighty power, notwithstanding the opposition of Pharaoh, God delivered His people from Egypt, that they might keep the law which had been given in Eden. He brought them to Sinai to hear the proclamation of this law. {8T 197.3}

Vort budskab
Den tredje engels budskab, der omfatter den første og anden engels budskaber, er budskabet for denne tid. Vi skal hæve banneret højt hvorpå der står skrevet: »Guds bud og Jesu tro.« Verden vil hurtigt møde den store Lovgiver over hans brudte lov. Der er ikke tid til at borttage dette store emne. Gud kalder på sit folk til at forherlige loven og gøre den ærværdig.
