 Plagiarized Pictures? The allegation has been made that Mrs. White stole pictures
from a book by Wylie to use in an 1886 edition of one of her own books, and
that she even replaced the name of the original artist with that of "Pacific Press."
Is there any truth in this allegation? |

| Insightful Info |
The Jews Expected a Divine Messiah In describing the Apostle Paul's original objection to Christianity, Ellen White wrote that
he just couldn't accept the idea that the Messiah would be a mere man. Could it really be true that
first-century Jews believed that the Messiah wuld be divine? Statements by four different
Bible characters seem to confirm this view. |

| Her Beliefs |
Eschatology: The Millennium Ellen White's eschatology was most definitely pre-millennial. She believed in a
millennium composed of a literal 1000 years, immediately preceded by a literal second coming
of Christ. However, her view of what takes place during the millennium was somewhat
different from that of many evangelicals. See if you think her views were biblical or not. |

| "So we may resist temptation, and force Satan to depart from us.
Jesus gained the victory through submission and faith in God, and by
the apostle He says to us, 'Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist
the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will
draw nigh to you.' James 4:7, 8. We cannot save ourselves from the
tempter's power; he has conquered humanity, and when we try to stand
in our own strength, we shall become a prey to his devices; but 'the name
of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.'
Prov. 18:10. Satan trembles and flees before the weakest soul who finds
refuge in that mighty name." | | (Desire of Ages 130, 131) |

| Fulfilled or Fallacy? |
Two World Wars Predicted During the Civil War, Mrs. White had a vision in which she saw two
world wars separated by a little time of peace.
Lucky guess or an actual fulfillment of a prediction? Here's the facts; you decide. |

| Life Sketch Snippet |
Illegally Disfellowshipped The minister did not attempt to refer
to a single text that would prove us in error, but excused himself
on the plea of a want of time. He advised us to quietly withdraw
from the church and avoid the publicity of a trial. . . .
my parents insisted that they should be acquainted with the reasons for this request. [more] |
