    Light Revealed Little by Little

    That the light given from heaven was revealed no faster than God’s people were prepared to follow, subsequent to the advent experience, is but a modern application of the same principle already referred to, in its relation to the Reformation, as follows:AGP 276.1

    “There were many and great obstacles for them to meet, and He led them on step by step, as they could bear it. They were not prepared to receive all the light at once. Like the full glory of the noontide sun to those who have long dwelt in darkness, it would, if presented, have caused them to turn away. Therefore He revealed it to the leaders little by little, as it could be received by the people.” “The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan,” p. 103.

    With this brief statement regarding some of the experiences connected with the early manifestations of this gift through Mrs. White before her writings were widely known, we are now prepared to make an analysis of some of the features of her life work. Our own conclusion—based upon a study of her writings, and upon personal observations covering a period of over fifty years—is that never in the history of the church has God more manifestly spoken to His people, warning them of dangers, elevating the standard of righteousness, and directing in the work committed to His church on earth, than has been manifest through this instrument of His choice. If we can bring forward supporting evidence that this is not an extravagant conclusion, then, indeed, do we have cause for profound gratitude to Him who has in these last days so graciously visited His people.AGP 276.2
