“Rev 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. “
Revelation 18:1, 2, 4

Harold Camping thought Ellen White to be a false prophet, because he taught that God was finished with prophets in the New Testament era when the Bible was a finished Book.
And, of course, Camping was correct!
God was no longer raising up prophets.
So, just how does this fact reconcile with Ellen White’s prophetic ministry?
Oh no, Ellen White herself never claimed infallibility. Nor did she claim her writings to be on par with Scripture.
But what her critics, such as Harold Camping, did not realize, was that God was bringing a people back under the Law.
And the Adventist Church was a microcosmic picture of the Old Testament Jews.
And just as God added 15 years to Hezekiah’s life, so also, God was extending the Church era 150 years, from 1844 to 1994.
And just as God made the sundial go back 10 degrees, so also, God was bringing His people back under the Law.
But why would God do such a thing?
Listen…Rev_11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
The Book of Revelation prophesied that the Ark of the Covenant in Heaven would appear in the last days. And Ellen White was the divinely-chosen messenger to reveal the heavenly sanctuary and its Ark, containing the Ten Commandments.
And so, being a throwback to the Old Testament, Ellen White was allowed to prophesy in a similar manner to Old Testament prophets.
And so then, Harold Camping correctly taught that God was no more bringing prophecies in the New Testament Church-era.
And yet, Ellen White’s ministry was the one exception.

TODAY’S PRAYER…
“Dear Lord, Help me to be an open-minded seeker of truth, even if it means giving up a very highly regarded Church opinion! Let me be willing to investigate any seemingly new teaching if it appears to have some biblical validity…

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.

.
THE ARK IN THE HEAVENS
.
If a person goes out at night, beginning in April (earlier in southern-most latitudes, and later in northern-most), in the pre-dawn hour, they just might locate the constellation commonly referred to as the Sagittarius Constellation.
It is located in the southern sky. (Each night it appears a little earlier, slowly inching westward, through the summer, until it finally disappears below the western horizon in November.)
.
At first, it simply appears as two twin birds flying westward.
But if you look once again, it just might appear as a long box-like figure, with one star on the right, as you face it, and two stars on the left.
The box, of course would be the Ark, and the stars on either side would represent angels, which are sometimes referred to as stars in the Bible (for instance, “the seven stars are the angels…” Revelation 1:20).
This is a star-chart from Wikipedia, in which the editor of this site has sketched in this Sagittarius Constellation, to show how God created it to appear.
