When Hezekiah was sick, the prophet of God brought him the message that he should die. He cried unto the Lord, and the Lord heard His servant and worked a miracle in his behalf, sending him a message that fifteen years should be added to his life. Now one word from God, one touch of the divine finger, would have cured Hezekiah instantly, but special directions were given to take a fig and lay it upon the affected part, and Hezekiah was raised to life. In everything we need to move along the line of God’s providence.—Health, Philanthropic, and Medical Missionary Work, 54 (1882). (Counsels on Health, 381, 382.) {2MCP 514.1}

(514) Da Hezekiel var syg, bragte Guds profet ham det budskab at han skulle dø. Han råbte til Herren, og Herren hørte Sin tjener og udvirkede et mirakel for hans skyld, sendte ham et budskab at femten år skulle lægges til hans liv. Et ord fra Gud, en berøring med den guddommelige finger, ville have kureret Hezekiel straks, men han fik særlige anvisninger at tage en figen og lægge den på den sygdomsramte legemsdel, og Hezekiel rejste sig op til livet. Vi behøver at handle efter Guds forsyn.— HPMMW 54, 1892. (Counsels on Health, 381, 382.)
