Soon we heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave us the day and hour of Jesus’ coming. The living saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an earthquake. When God spoke the time, He poured upon us the Holy Ghost, and our faces began to light up and shine with the glory of God, as Moses’ did when he came down from Mount Sinai. {LS 65.1}

Snart hørte vi Guds stemme som mange vande, som gav os dagen og timen for Jesu komme. De levende hellige, 144 000 i antal, kendte og forstod stemmen, medens de onde troede at det var torden og jordskælv. Medens Gud sagde tidspunktet, udgød han Helligånden over os og vore ansigter begyndte at lyse op og skinne med Guds herlighed, som Moses gjorde da han kom ned fra Sinajs bjerg.
