    Israel a Type

    The exodus of Israel of old from Egypt to the land of Canaan was typical in many ways of the exodus of the children of God from this world of sin to the heavenly Canaan. The exodus movement had connected with it a prophet of the Lord, who by his instructions guided the church in their wanderings through the wilderness. Declares the prophet Hosea, “By a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.” Hosea 12:13.TOJ 33.1

    A striking characteristic of the remnant church was to be the manifestation in it of the Spirit of prophecy. Declares the apostle John of the remnant or last division of the Christian church: “The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 12:17. This testimony of Jesus Christ is later explained by the angel to be the Spirit of prophecy. (Revelation 19:10.)TOJ 33.2

    This gift of prophecy, we affirm, has been manifested in the life and work of Mrs. Ellen G. White, connected with this movement from 1844 until the year 1915, when she was laid to rest. This remarkable woman gave many evidences of her divine call, and confirmed, in the minds of those who were acquainted with her experience, the definite belief that through her the gift of prophecy was manifested.TOJ 34.1
