The object of this great and solemn work of God is to gather together the sheaves for the heavenly garner; for the earth is to be filled with the glory of the Lord. Then let none be dismayed as they see the prevailing wickedness and hear the language coming from unclean lips. When the powers of darkness set themselves in array against the people of God; when Satan shall muster his forces for the last great conflict, and his power seems to be great and almost overwhelming, the clear view of the divine glory, the throne high and lifted up, arched with the bow of promise, will give comfort, assurance, and peace. By Mrs. E. G. White.

Hensigten med det store og ophøjede værk, som Gud har for, er at samle negene i den himmelske lade. Jorden skal fyldes med Herrens herlighed. Lad derfor ingen forfærdes, når de ser den tiltagende ondskab og hører Gudløs tale. Når mørkets magter samler sig mod Guds folk, når Satan mønstrer sine tropper til den sidste store styrkeprøve og han magt synes overvældende stor, vil et klart syn af den Guddommelige herlighed og den højt ophøjede trone omgivet af løftets regnbue bringe trøst, tryghed og fred.
