The Two Crowns In the vision given me in Battle Creek, October 25th, 1861, I was shown this earth, dark and gloomy. Said the angel, "Look carefully!" Then I was shown the people upon the earth: some were surrounded with angels of God, others were in total darkness, surrounded by evil angels. I saw an arm reached down from heaven, holding a golden scepter. On the top of the scepter was a crown studded with diamonds. Every diamond emitted light, bright, clear, and beautiful. Inscribed upon the crown were these words, "All who win me are happy, and shall have everlasting life."

”I det syn jeg fik i Battle Creek, 25. Oktober 1861, fik jeg vist denne jord, mørk og omtåget. Englen sagde: ”Se forsigtigt!” Så fik jeg vist folket på jorden: nogle var omgivet af Guds engle, andre var i total mørke, omgivet af onde engle. Jeg så en arm rakt ned fra himlen, med et gyldent scepter i hånden. På toppen af sceptereret var en krone belagt med diamanter. Hver diamant udstrålede lys, skinnende, klart og skønt. På kronen stod disse ord indskrevet: ”Alle som vinder mig er lykkelige, og skal få evigt liv.”
