Future Scenes of Slavery EGWC 338

When Mrs. White looked forward to the last hours of earth’s history did she see any scenes of slavery in the world that were similar to those she witnessed in mid-nineteenth century? If God gave to her any picture of final events—and He did—then she would certainly see slavery. And how do we know? From John the revelator. At the hour of Christ’s coming, as we have already noted, “every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves.” Revelation 6:15. And it is this very text that Mrs. White quotes in connection with her statement about “the pious slave” rising up at the commencement of “the jubilee.” (See Spiritual Gifts 1:206.) EGWC 338.3
