The report, based on the memory of one person, that
Ellen G. White stated in a dinner-table conversation that the inhabitants of
other worlds are gathering fruit for the Sabbath-day entertainment of the translated
saints en route to heaven, is without support. The assertion that the words
were stenographically reported also is without foundation. Ellen G. White makes
only the simple statement in Early Writings, page 16, that "We were
seven days ascending to the sea of glass." No mention is made by Ellen
G. White of the Sabbath spent en route.
Thought for the Day
We offer insult to the Prince of life, and put Him to shame before the synagogue of Satan and before the heavenly universe when we refuse to listen to His delegated messengers, and instead listen to the agents of Satan, who would draw the soul away from Christ. So long as one does this, he can find no hope or pardon, and he will finally lose all desire to be reconciled to God. Desire of Ages, p. 325
