The report of an early
minister that Ellen G. White declared in his presence that she had seen an angel
standing by the side of Elder Uriah Smith, inspiring him as he wrote Thoughts
on Daniel and the Revelation, is seriously undercut by the historical facts.
It is contrary to authentic Ellen G. White statements that would remove Smith's
book from the category of "inspired." However, Mrs. White esteemed
this volume highly and freely recommended it. See Colporteur Ministry,
page 123.
Thought for the Day
If Nathanael had trusted to the rabbis for guidance, he would never have found Jesus. It was by seeing and judging for himself that he became a disciple. ... So in the case of many today... they trust to the guidance of human authority, none will come to a saving knowledge of the truth. Like Nathanael, we need to study God's word for ourselves, and pray for the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. Desire of Ages, pp. 140, 141
