The question is whether later inspired writers may include added details
about persons and events described in the Bible. Additions in terms of details,
from one privileged to view in vision scenes of Biblical history, is no more
surprising than the fact that one finds details mentioned by one Gospel writer
that are omitted by another describing the same event. Paul identifies the
Egyptian magicians by name (2 Tim. 3:8), whereas in the book of Exodus they are
nameless. Jude describes a prophecy of Enoch (Jude 14, 15) that is nowhere
recorded in Genesis. Similar insights by Ellen White complement the Biblical
record, which remains the unique, authoritative, revelation of God's will.
Thought for the Day
The change in human hearts, the transformation of human characters, is a miracle that reveals an ever-living Saviour, working to rescue souls. A consistent life in Christ is a great miracle. In the preaching of the word of God, the sign that should be manifest now and always is the presence of the Holy Spirit, to make the word a regenerating power to those that hear. This is God's witness before the world to the divine mission of His Son. Desire of ages, p. 407
