In the time of trouble, Satan stirs up the wicked, and they encircle the people of God to destroy them. But he does not know that "pardon" has been written opposite their names in the books of heaven. He does not know that the command has been given, "Take away the filthy garments" from them, clothe them with "change of raiment," and set "a fair miter" upon their heads.

Under trængselstiden opildner Satan de onde, og de omringer Guds folk for at udslette dem. Men han ved ikke, at der står skrevet “tilgivet” ud for deres navne i himmelens bøger. Han ved ikke, at befalingen er blevet givet: “Tag de snavsede klæder af” dem, og giv dem “højtidsklæder på,” og sæt “et rent hovedbind” på deres hoveder. [Zak. 3, 1 – 5]
