At the time of the conference at Battle Creek, in June, 1858, I was shown in vision that in the sudden attack at Jackson, Satan intended to take my life, in order to hinder the work I was about to write; but angels of God were sent to my rescue. I also saw, among other things, that I should be blessed with better health than before the attack. {LS 163.3}

Samtidig med konferensen i Battle Creek, i juni, 1858, fik jeg vist i et syn at Satan ved et angreb i Jackson, havde i sinde at tage mit liv, for at forhindre mit skrivearbejde; men Guds engle blev sendt for at redde mig. Jeg så også, iblandt andre ting, at jeg skulle velsignes med bedre sundhed, end før angrebet.
