Ellen G. White -- Messenger or Medium? 53
Read what the prophet Isaiah says: "O Lord, Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee; I will praise
Thy name; for Thou hast wrought marvels; PLANS DETERMINED LONG AGO ARE
STEADFAST AND RELIABLE. (Isaiah 25:1)
Right here Mrs. White FAILED the test of a prophet of God!
The Homeless Jews!
But let's be fair, let's not rest on our laurels and dismiss Ellen G. White's claims on the basis
of one example. Let's dig deeper and look at some more examples.
In the November, 1939 issue of the
Signs of the Times, it was stated that "As a
people, the Jews have long CEASED to
have any significance." And therefore,
"Palestine will NEVER become their
home!" This statement was based on a vi-
sion recorded in the Early Writings of
Mrs. White: "I was pointed to some who
are in the great error of believing that it is
their duty to go to Old Jerusalem; and think
they have a work to do there before the
Lord comes...I saw that Satan had greatly
deceived some in this thing...I also saw
that OLD JERUSALEM NEVER
WOULD BE BUILT UP; and Satan was
doing his utmost to lead the minds of the
children of the Lord into these things now
in the gathering time" (page 75).
Anyone with a passing knowledge of history will realize the fallacy of this revelation -- the
nation of Israel came into existence in May of 1948, and the Jews took over complete control of Je-
rusalem during the 1967 Six Day War. Since that time the Jews have been "significant" indeed and
continually at the FOCUS of world attention!
Ellen G. White FAILED the test again!
A Thousand Years of Desolation
In the book, Seventh-day Adventists Believe..., published by the Ministerial Association
of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, the following tenet is outlined:
The millennium is the thousand-year reign of Christ with His saints IN HEAVEN between
the first and second resurrections. During this time the wicked dead will be judged; the earth
will be UTTERLY DESOLATE, WITHOUT LIVING HUMAN INHABITANTS, but oc-
