From age to age the Lord has made known the manner of His working. When a crisis has come, He has revealed Himself and has interposed to hinder the working out of Satan’s plans. With nations, with families, and with individuals He has often permitted matters to come to a crisis, that His interference might become marked. Then He has made it manifest that there is a God in Israel who will maintain His law and vindicate His people. {9T 91.4}

Fra slægt til slægt har Herren kundgjort sin måde at virke på. Når en krise er kommet, har han åbenbaret sig selv og grebet ind for at hindre, at Satans planer blev virkeliggjort. Han har ofte tilladt nationer, familier og enkeltpersoner at (92) komme i en krisesituation, for at hans indgriben kunne blive tydelig. Således har han gjort det klart, at der er en Gud i Israel, der vil bevare sin lov og forsvare sit folk.
