Present Truth, Aug. 1, 1849
Dear Brethren and Sisters
The Lord has shown me that it is my duty to relate to you, what he has revealed to me relating to the present truth, our present tried, scattered and tempted state, and our duty in view of the coming judgments of God.
Sabbath, March 24th, 1849, we had a sweet, and very interesting meeting with the Brethren at Topsham, Me. The Holy Ghost was poured out upon us, and I was taken off in the Spirit to the City of the living God. There I was shown that the commandments of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, relating to the shut door, could not be separated, and that the time for the commandments of God to shine out, with all their importance, and for God's people to be tried on the Sabbath truth, was when the door was opened in the Most Holy Place of the Heavenly Sanctuary, where the Ark is, containing the ten commandments. This door was not opened, until the mediation of Jesus was finished in the Holy Place of the Sanctuary in 1844. Then, Jesus rose up, and shut the door in the Holy Place, and opened the door in the Most Holy, and passed within the second vail, where he now stands by the Ark; and where the faith of Israel now reaches.
I saw that Jesus had shut the door in the Holy Place, and no man can open it; and that he had opened the door in the Most Holy, and no man can shut it: (See Rev. iii:7, 8:) and that since Jesus has opened the door in the Most Holy Place, which contains the Ark, the commandments have been shining out to God's people, and they are being tested on the Sabbath question.

Eikös se ollut niin painava, että monta miestä tarvittiin sitä korennoilla kantamaan? Mitähän se Ellen-tytteli oikein noilla unillaan tahtoikaan kertoa? Kirjaimellisestihan niitä nyt ei voi ymmärtää: ei kai niin pöhköä olekaan, että kuvittelisi niitä kirjaimellisesti käsitettäviksi tarkoitetuiksi.
on se alkuperäinen arkku. Tutkippa asiaa Raamatusta, niin huomaat, että maanpäällinen oli vain "kopio" maallisilla materiaaleilla siitä mitä taivaasta löytyy taivaallisena vastineena, arkki mukaan lukien.
sanoa että on hyvä Raamatun tuntemus kun luulee että taivaaseen on viety täältä maanpäältä arkki, kyllä sinne taivaaseen ei viedä täältä muuta kuin Jeesukseen uskovat ihmiset ja nekin puhdistettuina Karitsan verellä, sinne ei viedä mitään epäpyhää ja saastaista.
