Ella white didn't just provide
instruction to the church and
individuals in it but she also received
visions that dealt with real-life issues
and events in contemporary society in
her day she lived during the Civil War
and received visions on this before and
during the war if we rewind a few years
we see that the Great Awakening was
linked with the abolition movement and
in fact all the early Adventist pioneers
were abolitionists the issue of slavery
would come to a head in the Civil War
and God would have his say on this
terrible institution
south carolina would be the first state
to feed on the 20th of December 1860 and
23 days later Ellen White would have her
first Civil War vision in Parkville
Michigan here in this church it's
unlikely that she knew and in the three
days before her vision three more states
would secede but either way it will be
three months before the Civil War
started when the Confederate forces
fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina
after the Union forces had previously
taken it over the conventional wisdom in
the north was that there would be no
civil war where if that there was it
would be extremely short with a quick
victory for the Union Ellen White
correctly predicted that there would be
war that there would be a long war and
that people in the audience that day
would lose sons in the war
[Music]
her second civil war vision happened
here in the Roosevelt seventh-day
Adventist Church in New York State on
August the 3rd 1861 she was standing
behind this very pulpit though it would
have been located on the other side of
the church she saw that slavery was a
sin and that upholding it was in direct
contrast to the teachings of Christ she
also saw that God was using the civil
war to punish both sides the South for
practicing slavery and the North for so
long suffering is overreaching and
overbearing influence perhaps most
fascinating of all was a insight into
the Battle of Manassas sometimes called
the Battle of Bull Run
[Music]
on July the 21st 1861 the northern
troops approached by Nasus for the first
time expecting a swift victory as they
were in the ascendancy at one point in
the battle they were pushing ahead when
his Ellen White describes an angel
descended from heaven to the battlefield
and waved his hand backwards instantly
there was confusion in the ranks the
northern forces thought they were in
retreat when it was not so in reality
but a retreat commenced
lieutenant-colonel w w Blackford writing
later says that the lines of blue that
had been so well-defined and unbroken
suddenly became a swarm of bees running
away as fast as they could
[Music]
many American Civil War historians
recognize a mysterious element in this
battle though virtually all
understandably failed to see a
supernatural element in its Genesis
today at the battlefield of Manassas you
can see the various plaques that dot the
field they recount the sudden retreat of
the northern troops and an unlikely
victory that was won that day for the
south
then her angel explained that God had
this nation in his own hand and would
not allow victories to be gained faster
than he ordained the North was not to be
allowed to win a quick decisive battle
thus bringing an abrupt end to the war
because it would be punished for
condoning slavery before the war and
also for not making abolition the
principle ethical issue in the war this
vision shows how God involves himself in
the affairs of men and does not stand
idly by as we sometimes feel
[Music]
the prophetic gift was given to address
a major social and political issue of
the day showing the relevancy and
practical side of it today there are
some that say as Christians we shouldn't
get involved in social issues but should
just preach the gospel but whilst
preaching the gospel we should seek to
do justly love mercy and walk humbly
with our God some of the issues that
have been around for centuries are still
around in our day and as Christians we
should seek to fight injustice and seek
mercy for others may our religion be
practical and meet the needs of society
demonstrating the love of God wherever
we are
[Music]
[Music]
the Adventist Church was in its infancy
with a membership that was only in the
tens of thousands and yet it had already
made ventures into the publishing work
and the health work despite a small
membership it was soon moved into the
educational field as well with a vision
far greater than the reality of church
life at the time a school had started in
1868 by goodlow Harper Bell that was
supported locally here in Battle Creek
but in 1872 James and Ellen White would
call for the upgrading of this school
into an advanced educational institution
and also for the denomination to support
the school
as guidance for the school Ellen White
wrote testimony for the church number 22
where she developed the fundamental
principle of the correlation between the
physical mental moral and religious
aspects of Education the viable was not
to be just an elective option to study
but was to be infused throughout the
whole curriculum eliminating the
classics as the main thrust initially
the teachers and administrators
struggled to implement what they
probably didn't fully understand
themselves as well as making the
curriculum Bible based there was also
the admonition to include a manual labor
program
[Music]
education was to move away from the
Latin and Greek classics and be holistic
focusing on character development and
daily reminding the students of their
obligation to God to live for him and be
a missionary wherever they were the
focus on manual labor and missionary
work is reflected in the early names of
these schools the college of medical
evangelists emmanuel missionary college
southern missionary college Australasian
missionary college an awkward industrial
school the purpose was the mission the
name of the school reflected the purpose
of the church to Train missionaries at
home and abroad
the vision to start a comprehensive
educational system would mushroom and
grow education is as a key evangelistic
strategy the places today where the
church is stronger have a strong
Adventist educational system that is
valued and supported by the members
education that recognizes it's not just
for academic advancement but that is
also evangelistic and redemptive
occurring the words of Ellen White that
education and redemption are one
[Music]
the work of Education now encompasses
the globe with the largest Protestant
school system but our strength lies not
in our size but in our faithfulness to
the original purpose of setting up the
educational school system practical
education with a clear mission focus was
the primary motivating factor rather
than just academic excellence
[Music]
many today do not have the opportunity
of an Adventist education if that is you
then may you be a witness in your school
or university like the world ends Ian's
in years gone by proverb says train up a
child in the way he shall go and when he
is old he will not depart from it
whether it's at Sabbath school home
school or Adventist school we see the
education is vitally important in
solidifying what we believe as well as
giving us the skills that we need in
life if you live near a school then
support it support the youth who are
attending whether it's financially
through your prayers by volunteering by
working or in whatever way that you can
[Music]
[Music]
in July of 18-49 James White packed
copies of the present truth into a
borrowed carpet bag and walked eight
miles to Middletown Connecticut he was
taking the first steps in what will
become a global publishing ministry the
publishing work was extremely effective
in early Adventism both as a form of
evangelism and also as keeping a sense
of cohesion amongst the believers prior
to the great disappointment it was very
important and after 1848 when Ellen
White had her vision that her husband
should start a magazine and that the
paper would be like streams of light
going round the world the work increased
in effectiveness
in 1853 that a review and Herald
publishing Association bought its first
printing press and based herself out of
the house there James and Ellen White
rented in Rochester New York it then
moved to Battle Creek Michigan and
continued to grow and things would take
a twist in the 1880s when James White
met a young Canadian named George King
who desperately wanted to be a preacher
he stayed with them for a few weeks but
James White was unconvinced that he had
what it took to be a preacher James
White then approached brother God's mark
and told him about George King and asked
if he could live on the farm and work
and then maybe after a year he would be
able to go and preach he was a tall and
slim man and he moved into this new home
he would often preach in the living room
to the empty chairs
it was soon arranged that he preached
his first sermon to some of the church
members but it was a blundering failure
and anything but to the point after a
season of Prayer the mother of the home
stood up and said that he could never be
a preacher and that he could not hold
the attention of a crowd but he could be
a fireside preacher and share books and
tracts in people's homes and spread the
message this way
[Music]
he accepted this as the will of God and
the next Monday he packed his satchel
full of magazines and took two dollars
and set off for the week
the next Sabbath he was overwhelmed at
how much God had blessed him and
encouraged by the people he was able to
speak to as well as the sixty-two cents
that he had earned the next week he was
able to convert nearly all the books in
his bag to cash and soon persuaded the
Brethren at the review and Herald to
make a special book to use in the homes
thoughts on Daniel and revelation by
Uriah Smith
and so the work of literature evangelism
would start with a man who James White
didn't know what to do with the work of
literature evangelism would grow and
spread and become a huge ministry in and
of itself key in the early days of our
church as it encompassed the globe
the ministry is still active today both
with summer programs with Academy aid
young people and university aid students
and also with full-time workers
the story of George King teaches us that
whilst we may not be able to do the
exact ministry that we have set our
hearts on God may have another work for
us that we haven't even thought of yet
and may use other people to guide us
there when we are humble and teachable
there is no limit to how God may use us
[Music]
when I was growing up if he wanted to
study history or do research on a
particular topic
there was really only one option that we
had and that was to read a book and I
never really used to like reading that
much so we decided to create a resource
that would translate this written
information into the language of today
my name's Adam Ramdan and my name is
Claire cutie and we got the cofounders
of lineage journey back in 2016 I was
reading the great controversy and I was
really struggling to find any relevant
video resources that I could use to aid
me in my study so I decided to approach
Adam about the possibility of making
some videos on the Reformation so we
started filming in the end of 2016 and
in 2017 we released 48 videos that
covered the period of the early church
all the way through to the end of the
Reformation then in 2018 and 19 were
released another 52 episodes on church
history these have now been viewed all
over the world
in over 100 countries covering about 50
different languages and we have over 3
million views online these videos have
been used as a resource in both secular
and Christian schools as well as several
church denominations across the globe
using Bible studies study groups as well
as play to the general congregation they
also make a great online evangelistic
tool where people are able to share them
and we've seen them go into countries or
we ourself Congo countries that are
Muslim countries where the Christian
message cannot go one of the challenges
we have though is that amongst our team
of almost 10 people we are all
volunteers on this project sacrificing
our time I ever done energy in order to
make these resources together just to
put things into perspective
each lineage episode as well as the
filming takes an additional two to three
days in post-production that is a lot of
time and sacrifice that this team has
made in putting 100 episodes together so
we need to raise the funds to cover the
cost of the filming as well as the
continued production costs that come
after that so for as little as $1 a
month you can help us to expand this
ministry to create new resources to
reach more people across the world thank
you for visiting this page and taking
the time to watch this
video we really appreciate that thank
you for your support of the ministry so
far and we ask that you would pray
awfully consider being a partner with us
on this patreon page may God bless you
and we ask that you continue to keep
this ministry and our future plans in
prayer
[Music]
[Applause]
for a long time the health work has been
heavily promoted in our church and
central to our evangelistic strategy
reports today speak of the Adventist
Blue Zones and note how seventh-day
Adventists live between six and eight
years longer than the rest of the
population the rates of disease such as
cancer and heart disease are
significantly lower than the rest of the
population and some diseases such as
lung cancer are almost non-existent how
did this come to be
was it luck was it chance or was it
something greater than that
in 1863 in ox aigo Michigan Ellen White
was given her health vision where she
was shown things that were way ahead of
the medical practices of her time for
example she was shown that tobacco was a
slow insidious and most malignant poison
common knowledge to us today yet in her
time the medical wisdom would have
prescribed or at least not deterred you
from using tobacco should you have any
throat or lung issues it wasn't until a
hundred years later when the Surgeon
General of the United States finally
condemned the use of tobacco
[Music]
the vision was very broad in scope and
encouraged holistic health and natural
preventative medicine whilst there is
always a need for acute care
preventative medicine
seeks to prevent as much as possible
disease in the body under Ellen White's
guidance they set up a health institute
called the Western health reform
Institute dr. John Harvey Kellogg today
most famous for the world renowned
breakfast cereals that he invented
became the director of this institute at
the young age of 24
John Harvey Kellogg attended some of the
best medical schools in his day the
University Medical School in Ann Arbor
Michigan and the New York University
Medical College at Bellevue Hospital in
New York City he graduated in 1875 and
would go on to be one of the leading
doctors in the United States treating
both the rich and famous as well as
those less fortunate he changed the name
to the Battle Creek health sanitarium
sanitarium is a twist on the word
sanatorium which was a health resort for
invalid soldiers replacing the O with an
A he thus created a new word for the
English language
[Music]
he would go on to pioneer some of the
best medical practices of his day and
invent some ingenious machines that were
the forerunners of much of the modern
equipment you'll see today in a gym such
as this royal machine and grip master
many of these were on the Titanic when
it sets sail for use by its wealthy
passengers the sanitary would start out
as a great witness to the message that
God had given but it would later veer
off track
[Music]
unfortunately today this message has
often been neglected and while many
recognize that we do have a message and
understand the truth and validity of it
many people do not live up to what they
know about health their health work was
created to be the right arm it was to
assist the gospel not to be isolated on
its own but to work harmoniously
together healthy living was not to be an
end in itself but its purpose was to
work with the gospel creating an opening
wedge to people's hearts may we
implement these principles first in our
lives and then also in the churches we
are a part of as we witness to the
communities we live in
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
the call had come from overseas please
send someone the church was expanding
from its North American roots to further
afield the plea had come from Europe and
the church leaders in the United States
had discussed it several times the need
was there and finally in 1874 the church
voted to send JN Andrews as the first
official missionary of the church
despite his wife dying just two years
previous
he remained undeterred and set sail with
his two young children for Europe the
Brethren in Europe had been told that
they're about to receive the most ablest
man in our ranks
what qualified him to be the ablest man
in our ranks at the age of 25 he wrote a
paper that was presented at the General
Conference session that persuaded the
church to keep the Sabbath from sunset
to sunset he wrote the book the history
of the Sabbath at the age of 29 he was
elected General Conference president at
the age of 38 he said he could recite
the New Testament by memory and much of
the Old Testament and he secured
non-combatant status for Adventists in
the Civil War when as General Conference
president he hosted the first Adventist
camp meeting in Wright Michigan he would
often go out at night and check on the
tents to make sure everyone was ok he
was much loved well respected and was
sent abroad with the church's blessings
[Music]
initially docking in Liverpool England
before making his way across France to
Switzerland
arriving in Switzerland the task ahead
of him was huge although he was not a
pioneer missionary as some work had
already taken place before him there was
little structure to work with there were
no printing presses no publishing houses
and no organized conferences JN Andrew
set about the work with an intensity
that he was known for
[Applause]
J and Andrews and his children quickly
learned the French language making a
family covenant that they would not
speak anything to each other
in the home except French although
German was acceptable at times his
daughter Mary quickly became fluent in
the language and became the proofreader
for the new magazine entitled Anna
scenes do Tom J and Andrews wrote over
400 articles for this magazine during
the seven year period that he was in
Europe a remarkable amount considering
that he also contracted pneumonia after
being there just three years when the
doctor came to visit him he asked him
why he was starving himself because he
looked to be in such bad health
[Music]
not wanting to overspend they live
mainly on white bread gram pudding
potatoes and sometimes cabbage with very
little fruit milk or butter
he was counseled to marry again and it's
likely this would have preserved his
life as it could have led to him taking
better care of himself but he said he
could not he was particularly
heartbroken after the death of his
daughter and when he returned to Europe
he was completely bedridden by 1883 with
tuberculosis the church was concerned
and they sent JN Lafleur from England to
do an anointing service and his mother
also visited him in his final months but
unfortunately he still died young
[Applause]
[Music]
he charged that no eulogy should appear
in the review and Herald and while Uriah
Smith wanted to publish one he complied
with this request he was a pioneer a
dedicated worker and one of the most
intelligent and hard-working ministers
in the history of our church whilst he
received no eulogy after his death his
legacy lived on in far more significant
ways what kind of legacy are you
building in your life if nothing was
said publicly or in written form after
your death with the fruit of your life
lead to positive change in the life of
other people may we make a commitment to
leave such a legacy behind
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
