“Just before going into the meeting, I had a revival of some interesting scenes which had passed before me in vision, and I spoke to Brethren Andrews, Rodman, Howard, Mead, and several others who were present. It seemed to me that the angels were making a rift in the cloud and letting in the beams of light from heaven. The subject that was presented so strikingly was the case of Moses. I exclaimed: ‘Oh, that I had the skill of an artist, that I might picture the scene of Moses upon the mount!’ His strength was firm. ‘Unabated,’ is the language of the Scripture. His eye was not dimmed through age, yet he was upon that mount to die. The angels buried him, but the Son of God soon came down and raised him from the dead and took him to heaven. But God first gave him a view of the land of promise, with His blessing upon it. It was as it were a second Eden. As a panorama this passed before his vision. He was shown the appearing of Christ at His first advent, His rejection by the Jewish nation, and His death upon the cross. Moses then saw Christ’s second advent and the resurrection of the just. I also spoke of the meeting of the two Adams—Adam the first, and Christ the second Adam—when Eden shall bloom on earth again. The particulars of these interesting points I design to write out for Testimony No. 14. The brethren wished me to repeat the same in the evening meeting. {1T 659.1}

Lige før jeg tog til mødet, fik jeg genopfrisket nogle interessante scener, som jeg havde fået i syner og jeg talte til brødrene Andrews, Rodman, Howard, Mead og adskillige andre som var til stede. For mig var det som om at englene lavede en rift i skyerne og lukkede lysets stråler ind fra himlen. Emnet, der blev fremstillet så præcist, var beretningen om Moses. Jeg udbrød: "Oh, havde jeg en kunstners færdighed, så jeg kunne male billedet med Moses på bjerget!" Hans styrke var fast. "Uformindsket styrke", er skriftens sprog. Hans øjne var ikke svækket på grund af alder, alligevel var han på bjerget for at dø. Englene begravede ham, men Guds Søn kom snart ned og oprejste ham fra de døde og tog ham til himlen. Men Gud lod ham først se det forjættede land, med hans velsignelser over det. Det var som et andet eden. Som et panorama gik dette forbi ham i et syn. Han fik vist Kristi tilsynekomst ved hans første komme, da han blev forkastet af den jødiske nation og hans død på korset. Moses så da Kristi andet komme og opstandelsen af de retfærdige. Jeg talte også til mødet om de to Adam'er - den første Adam og Kristus den anden Adam - når eden skal blomstre op på jorden igen. Enkelthederne for disse interessante punkter havde jeg tænkt mig at skrive ned i Vidnesbyrd nr 14. Brødrene bad mig om at gengive det samme til aftensmødet.
