Løft opp det budskapet som Herren har forkynt. Mine disipler skal ha et forpliktende forhold til dette budskapet som er gitt dem i form av lover og regler! Jeg vil vente på Herren, Han som skjuler ansiktet sitt for Israels folk. Jeg håper på Ham! Jeg og dem Herren har gitt meg ansvar for, er tegn og varsler i Israel fra Hærskarenes Herre, Han som bor hos folket sitt.
