“I dreamed that the following was the interpretation: The lamps represented the remnant people. The oil was the truth and heavenly love, of which God’s people need a constant supply. The people engaged in supplying the lamps were the servants of God laboring in the harvest. Who the evil company were in particular I could not tell, but they were men moved upon by the devil, who directed their evil influence specially against Brother and Sister White. The latter were in great distress for a season, but were at last delivered by the grace of God and their own earnest efforts. Then finally the power of God rested upon them, and they acted a prominent part in the proclamation of the last message of mercy. But Sister White had a richer supply of heavenly wisdom and love than the rest. {1T 598.1}

"Jeg drømte at dette var fortolkningen: Lamperne repræsenterede restfolket. Olien var sandheden og den himmelske kærlighed, af hvilket Guds folk hele tiden behøver at blive forsynet af. De mennesker, som var i gang med at forsyne lamperne var Guds tjenere, der arbejde under høsten. Hvem de onde mennesker egentlig er, kan jeg ikke sige, men de var mænd, drevet af djævelen, som retter deres onde påvirkning specielt mod bror og søster White. De sidstnævnte var et øjeblik i stor nød, men til sidst blev de udfriet af Guds nåde og deres egne alvorlige anstrengelser. Så hvilede Guds kraft endelig på dem og de udførte et fremragende arbejde, for at forkynde det sidste nådesbudskab. Men søster White var rigeligere forsynet af himmelsk visdom og kærlighed end de andre.
