    Chapter 26—April 7, 1847

    Ellen White Predicted Conversions to the Sabbath Truth.

    In the autumn of 1846, shortly after their marriage, James and Ellen White began to observe the Bible Sabbath. (Testimonies for the Church 1:75.) On April 7, 1847, Ellen had a vision of the tables of the law in the heavenly temple, with a halo of glory about the fourth commandment. Concerning the Sabbath she wrote:SDD 17.1

    I saw that God had children, who do not see and keep the Sabbath. They had not rejected the light on it. And at the commencement of the time of trouble, we were filled with the Holy Ghost as we went forth, and proclaimed the Sabbath more fully. This enraged the church, and nominal Adventists, as they could not refute the Sabbath truth. And at this time, God’s chosen all saw clearly that we had the truth, and they came out and endured the persecution with us. —A Vision, April 7, 1847; Ellen G. White Letter 1, 1847, p. 2; A Word to the Little Flock, 19; see also Early Writings, 32-35.
