W. C. White Statement of December 13, 1934
From a Personal Letter
Written to L. E. Froom
Published in Selected Messages,
book 3, p. 462.
The framework of the great temple
of truth sustained by her writings was presented to her clearly in vision. In
some features of this work, information was given in detail. Regarding some
features of the revelation, such as the features of prophetic chronology, as
regards the ministration in the sanctuary and the changes that took place in
1844, the matter was presented to her many times and in detail many times, and
this enabled her to speak very clearly and very positively regarding the foundation
pillars of our faith.
In some of the historical matters
such as are brought out in Patriarchs and Prophets and in Acts of
the Apostles, and in The Great Controversy, the main outlines were
made very clear and plain to her, and when she came to write up these topics,
she was left to study the Bible and history to get dates and geographical relations
and to perfect her description of details.
Thought for the Day
Day by day God instructs His children. By the circumstances of the daily life He is preparing them to act their part upon that wider stage to which His providence has appointed them. It is the issue of the daily test that determines their victory or defeat in life's great crisis. Those who fail to realize their constant dependence upon God will be overcome by temptation. Desire of Ages, p. 382
