From the many eyewitness accounts available we build the following summary: *Note.—For reference to statements from the Scripture record in which mention is made of visions accompanied by similar phenomena, see Daniel 10:7-10, 16-19; Numbers 24:3-4, 16. EGWMR 6.20
1. Immediately preceding a vision, there was a deep sensing of the presence of God both by Mrs. White and by others in the room. EGWMR 6.21
2. As the vision began, Mrs. White uttered an exclamation of “Glory!” or “Glory to God!” at times repeated. EGWMR 6.22
3. There was a loss of physical strength. EGWMR 6.23
4. Supernatural strength was then apparent. EGWMR 6.24
5. There was no breathing, but the heartbeat continued normally, and the color in the cheeks was natural. The most critical tests failed to reveal any disturbance of the circulatory system. EGWMR 6.25
6. Occasionally there would be exclamations indicative of the scene being presented. EGWMR 6.26
7. The eyes were open, not with a vacant stare, but as if she were intently watching something. EGWMR 7.1
8. The position might vary. At times she was seated; at times reclining; at times she walked about the room and made graceful gestures as she spoke of matters presented. EGWMR 7.2
9. There was an absolute unconsciousness of what was occurring about her. She neither saw, heard, felt, nor perceived in any way the immediate surroundings or happenings. EGWMR 7.3
10. The close of the vision was indicated by a deep inhalation, followed in about a minute by another, and very soon natural breathing was resumed. EGWMR 7.4
11. Immediately after the vision all seemed very dark. EGWMR 7.5
12. Within a short time natural strength and abilities were regained. EGWMR 7.6
The experience of the visions never weakened or debilitated Mrs. White. They were usually followed by increased natural strength and improved health. EGWMR 7.7
