Early writings P 54-56 And I saw a throne and on it sat the father and the son, I gazed at Jesus’s countenance and admired his lovely person, the Fathers person I could not behold because a cloud of glorious light covered him. I asked Jesus if the Father had a form like himself, he said he had but I cannot behold it for said he if you should once behold the glory of his person you will cease to exist. Before the throne I saw the advent people, the church and the world and I saw two …
companies, one bowed down before the throne deeply interested while the others stood uninterested and careless. Those who were bowed before the throne will offer up their prayers and look to Jesus then he will look to his Father and appear to be pleading with him. A light will come from the Father to the Son and from the son to the praying company. Then I saw an exceeding bright light come from the father to the son and from the son, It waved over the people before the throne but a few will receive this great light…
Many came out from under it and immediately resisted it, others were careless and did notcherish the light and it was removed from them. it went and bowed down with the little praying company. This company all received the light and rejoiced in it and their countenance shone in its glory. I saw the father rise from the throne and in a flaming chariot go into the holy of holies within the vail and sit down then Jesus rose up from the throne and most of those who were bowed down arose with him. I did not see one ray of light pass through the careless multitude after he rose,
they were left in perfect darkness. Those who arose when Jesus did kept their eyes fixed on him as they left the throneAnd led them out a little way. Then he raised his right arm and heard the lovely voice saying wait here. I am going to my Father to receive my kingdom. Keep your garments spotless and in a little while I will return from the wedding and receive you to myself. Then a cloudy chariot with wheels like flaming fire surrounded by angels came to where Jesus was. He stepped in the chariot and was born to the holiest where the father sat…
There I beheld Jesus a great high priest standing before the Father on the hem of his garment was a bell and a pomegranate. those who rose up with Jesus will send up their faith to Jesus and will pray “my father give us your spirit” then Jesus will breath upon them the holy ghost. In that breath was light, power and much love, joy and peace.I turn to look towards the company that were still bowed before the throne, they did not know that Jesus had left it.Satan appeared to be by the throne. I…
saw them look towards the throne and say Father give us thy spirit. Satan will then breath upon them an unholy influence in it was light and much power but no sweet joy and Peace. Satan’s object was to keep them deceived and to draw them back and deceive God’s children. Early writings p54 – p56 Ellen G White
The Saints must get a thorough understanding of present truth, which they will be obliged to maintain from the scriptures. They must understand the state of the dead, for the Spirits of devils will yet appear to them, professing to be beloved friends and relatives, who will declare to them that the Sabbath has been changed, also other unscriptural doctrines. EW 87 (1854)
The things you have described as taking place in Indiana, the Lord has shown me would take place just before the close of probation. Every uncouth thing will be demonstrated. There will be shouting, with drums, music and noise. The senses of rational beings will become so confused that they cannot be trusted to make right decisions… A bedlam of noise shocks the senses and perverts that which if conducted aright might be a blessings. The powers of Satanic agencies blend with the din and the noise to have a carnival, and this is termed as the Holy Spirit working…Those things which have been in the past will be in the future. Satan will make a music a snare by the way it is conducted. 2SM 36, 38 (1900)
Fanaticism, false excitement, false talking in tongues, and noisy exercises have bee considered gifts which God has placed in the church. Some have been deceived here. The fruits of all this have not been good. “Ye shall know them by their fruits.” Fanaticism and noise have been considered special evidence of faith. Some are not satisfied with a meeting unless they have a powerful happy time. They work for this and get up an excitement of feeling. But the influence of such meeting is not beneficial. When the happy flight of the feeling is gone they sink lower that before the meetings because their happiness did not come from the right source…
The most profitable meetings for spiritual advancement are those which are characterized with solemnity and deep searching of heart, each seeking to know himself earnestly and in deep humility seeking to learn of Christ. 1T 412 (1864)
The thing that hath been done, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun Ecc 1:9
“There is a work of sacred importance for ministers and people to do. They are to study the history of the cause and people of God. They are not to forget the past dealing of God with His people. They are to revive and recount the truths that have come to seem of little value to those who do not know by personal experience of the power and brightness that accompanied them when they were first seen and understood. In all their original freshness and power these truths are to be given to the world.” Selected Messages, book 1, 157.
We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and his teaching in our Past history. – LS196 (1902) Last day Events p72
“Temptations are being brought in by men who have been long in the truth. The truths that we received in 1841, ‘42, ‘43, and ‘44 are now to be studied and proclaimed. The messages of the first, second, and third angels will in the future be proclaimed with a loud voice. They will be given with earnest determination and in the power of the Spirit.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 317.
And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not. Rev 10:3-4
“The special light given to John which was expressed in the seven thunders was a delineation of events which would transpire under the first and second angels messages.” It was best not for the people to know these things for their faith must necessarily be tested. In the order of God most wonderful and advanced truths were to be proclaimed, but no further light was to be revealed until they have done their specific work” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 971.
The First Angels Message The Advent movement of the 1840-1844 was a glorious manifestation of the power of God; the first and second angels message was carried to every missionary station in the world. GC 611
Second Angels Message As the churches rejected refused to receive the first angels message, they rejected the light from heaven and fell from favour of God. They trusted in their own strength and by opposing the first angels message placed themselves were they could not see the light of the second angels message. But the beloved of God who were oppressed and accepted the message “Babylon is fallen,” and the left the churches. (EW 237) “ In June 1842 MR Miller gave his second course of lectures at the Casco street in Portland [Maine]… with few exceptions, the different denominations closed the doors of the Churches to Mr Miller” Testimonies Volume 1,21
Third Angels Message At the ministration of the Jesus closed in the Holy place, and he passed into the holies, and stood before the ark containing the law of God, He sent another mighty angel with a third message to the world. A parchment was placed in the angels hand, and he descended to the earth in power and majesty, he proclaimed a fearful warning, with the most terrible threatening ever borne to man. EW P254
“God has given the messages of Revelation14 their place in the line of prophecy, and their work is not to cease till the close of this earth’s history. The first and second angel’s messages are still truth for this time, and are to run parallel with this which follows. The third angel proclaims his warning with a loud voice. ‘After these things,’ said John, ‘I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his glory.’ In this illumination, the light of all the three messages is combined.” The1888 Materials, 804.
