It is at this time that the third angel is seen flying in the midst of heaven, proclaiming: If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation. Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. In marked contrast to the world stands the little company who will not swerve from their allegiance to God. These are they of whom Isaiah speaks as repairing the breach which had been made in the law of God, they who are building the old waste places, raising up the foundation of many generations.

På den tid er det, at den tredje engel ses flyvende midt under himlen råbende; "Hvis nogen tilbeder dyret og dets billede og tager dets mærke på sin pande eller på sin hånd, så skal han drikke af Guds harmes vin, som er skænket ublandet i hans vredes bæger. Her gælder det om udholdenhed for de hellige, der holder fast ved Guds bud og ved troen på Jesus." I skarp kontrast til verden står den lille flok, som ikke vil vige fra sin lydighed mod Gud. Det er om dem, Esajas siger, at de genopretter det brud, som er sket på Guds lov, dem, som bygger på øde tomter, genskaber farbare veje.
