42Early writings P 54-56
And I saw a throne and on it sat the father and
the son, I gazed at Jesuss countenance and
admired his lovely person, the Fathers person I
could not behold because a cloud of glorious
light covered him. I asked Jesus if the Father
had a form like himself, he said he had but I
cannot behold it for said he if you should once
behold the glory of his person you will cease to
exist. Before the throne I saw the advent people,
the church and the world and I saw two
43companies, one bowed down before the throne
deeply interested while the others stood
uninterested and careless. Those who were bowed
before the throne will offer up their prayers and
look to Jesus then he will look to his Father and
appear to be pleading with him. A light will come
from the Father to the Son and from the son to
the praying company. Then I saw an exceeding
bright light come from the father to the son and
from the son, It waved over the people before the
throne but a few will receive this great light
44Many came out from under it and immediately
resisted it, others were careless and did not
cherish the light and it was removed from them.
it went and bowed down with the little praying
company. This company all received the light and
rejoiced in it and their countenance shone in its
glory. I saw the father rise from the throne and
in a flaming chariot go into the holy of holies
within the vail and sit down then Jesus rose up
from the throne and most of those who were bowed
down arose with him. I did not see one ray of
light pass through the careless multitude after
he rose,
45they were left in perfect darkness. Those who
arose when Jesus did kept their eyes fixed on him
as they left the throne And led them out a little
way. Then he raised his right arm and heard the
lovely voice saying wait here. I am going to my
Father to receive my kingdom. Keep your garments
spotless and in a little while I will return from
the wedding and receive you to myself. Then a
cloudy chariot with wheels like flaming fire
surrounded by angels came to where Jesus was. He
stepped in the chariot and was born to the
holiest where the father sat
46There I beheld Jesus a great high priest standing
before the Father on the hem of his garment was a
bell and a pomegranate. those who rose up with
Jesus will send up their faith to Jesus and will
pray my father give us your spirit then Jesus
will breath upon them the holy ghost. In that
breath was light, power and much love, joy and
peace. I turn to look towards the company that
were still bowed before the throne, they did not
know that Jesus had left it. Satan appeared to be
by the throne. I
47saw them look towards the throne and say Father
give us thy spirit. Satan will then breath upon
them an unholy influence in it was light and much
power but no sweet joy and Peace. Satans object
was to keep them deceived and to draw them back
and deceive Gods children.

49 The second angel's message of Revelation 14 was
first preached in the summer of 1844, and it then
had a more direct application to the churches of
the United States, where the warning of the
judgment had been most widely proclaimed and most
generally rejected, and where the declension in
the churches had been most rapid. But the message
of the second angel did not reach its complete
fulfillment in 1844. The churches then
experienced a moral fall, in consequence of their
refusal of the light of the advent message but
that fall was not complete. As they have
continued to reject the special truths for this
time they have fallen lower and lower GC 390
50Do we have another message based on time?
51I have borne the testimony since the passing of
the time in 1844, that there should be no
definite time set by which to test God's people.
The great test on time was in 1843 and 1844. Life
Sketches 1880 221.1
52Time no longer
This time which the angel declares with a solemn
oath, is not the end of this world's history,
neither of probationary time, but of prophetic
time, which should precede the advent of our
Lord. That is, the people will not have another
message upon definite time. After this period of
time, reaching from 1842 to 1844, there can be no
definite tracing of the prophetic time. The
longest reckoning reaches to the autumn of 1844.

53What Messages are we now to proclaim?
54- The truths that we received in 1841, 42, 43,
and 44 are now to be studied and proclaimed. The
messages of the first, second, and third angels
will in the future be proclaimed with a loud
voice. They will be given with earnest
determination and in the power of the Spirit. - Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 317.
55The proclamation of the first, second, and third
angels' messages has been located by the word of
Inspiration. Not a peg or pin is to be removed.
No human authority has any more right to change
the location of these messages than to substitute
the New Testament for the Old. The first and
second messages were given in 1843 and 1844, and
we are now under the proclamation of the third
but all three of the messages are still to be
proclaimed. It is just as essential now as ever
before that they shall be repeated to those who
are seeking for the truth. By pen and voice we
are to sound the proclamation, showing their
order, and the application of the prophecies that
bring us to the third angel's message. There
cannot be a third without the first and second.
These messages we are to give to the world in
publications, in discourses, showing in the line
of prophetic history the things that have been,
and the things that will be.--Manuscript 32,
1896. CW 26.2
56I was shown three steps-- the first, second, and
third angels' messages. Said my accompanying
angel, "Woe to him who shall move a block or stir
a pin of these messages. The true understanding
of these messages is of vital importance. EW 249
572SM 36 The things you have described as taking
place in Indiana, the Lord has shown me would
take place just before the close of probation.
Every uncouth thing will be demonstrated. There
will be shouting, with drums, music, and dancing.
The senses of rational beings will become so
confused that they cannot be trusted to make
right decisions. And this is called the moving of
the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit never reveals
itself in such methods, in such a bedlam of
noise. This is an invention of Satan to cover up
his ingenious methods for making of none effect
the pure, sincere, elevating, ennobling,
sanctifying truth for this time.
58Better never have the worship of God blended with
music than to use musical instruments to do the
work which last January was represented to me
would be brought into our camp meetings. The
truth for this time needs nothing of this kind in
its work of converting souls. A bedlam of noise
shocks the senses and perverts that which if
conducted aright might be a blessing. The powers
of satanic agencies blend with the din and noise,
to have a carnival, and this is termed the Holy
Spirit's working. I will not go into all the
painful history it is too much. But last January
the Lord showed me that erroneous theories and
methods would be brought into our camp meetings,
and that the history of the past would be
repeated.
59I felt greatly distressed. I was instructed to
say that at these demonstrations demons in the
form of men are present, working with all the
ingenuity that Satan can employ to make the truth
disgusting to sensible people that the enemy was
trying to arrange matters so that the camp
meetings, which have been the means of bringing
the truth of the third angel's message before
multitudes, should lose their force and
influence. The third angel's message is to
be given in straight lines. It is to be kept free
from every thread of the cheap, miserable
inventions of men's theories, prepared by the
father of lies, and disguised as was the
brilliant serpent used by Satan as a medium of
deceiving our first parents. Thus Satan tries to
put his stamp upon the work God would have stand
forth in purity. 2SM 37.4
60We have nothing to fear for the future, except as
we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and
his teaching in our Past history. LS196 (1902)
