By E. G. White

In the early 1800s, a powerful spiritual revival known as the Great Advent Movement swept across the world. Crossing boundaries of race, culture, and religious background, believers united in the study of Bible prophecy, longing to understand God’s plan and the promised return of Christ.

Through their study, many concluded that Daniel 8:14 pointed to the year 1844 as the time of Christ’s return. When that year passed without the expected event, the resulting disappointment caused many to abandon their faith and even reject the Bible itself. Yet a small group remained—determined to search the Scriptures more deeply and seek divine guidance.

Among them was a young woman named Ellen White. As these believers prayed earnestly for light and understanding, God responded by giving her visions that clarified their misunderstanding and redirected their hope. These visions brought comfort, purpose, and renewed confidence in God’s leading.

Early Writings records these foundational visions with clarity and spiritual simplicity, revealing the purity and power of the Holy Spirit’s work during the formative years of the Advent movement. These messages not only strengthened early believers but continue to encourage all who long to be ready for Christ’s return.

Through its pages, readers gain deeper insight into Bible prophecy, the sanctuary message, and the beginnings of E. G. White’s prophetic ministry. As you prayerfully study this book, may it strengthen your faith, deepen your trust in Christ, and inspire you to abide in Him until the glorious day of His return.
