Some of you may have read my earlier post about William Miller and his influence on Ellen G. White in the early years. The Seventh-day Adventist church probably wouldn’t have existed without William Miller. But most don’t know Ellen White’s additional odd statements regarding Miller. Once again, these statements show a side of EGW that most Adventists don’t want to know. Ellen’s inconsistencies expose her for who she really is.
According to Ellen White, what is the most worthless job angels have on planet Earth?
Watching over the dust of William Miller says EGW in one of her “I saw” moments!
“God suffered him to come under the power of Satan, and death to have dominion over him. He hid him in the grave, away from those who were constantly drawing him from God. Moses erred just as he was about to enter the promised land. So also, I saw that Wm. Miller erred as he was soon to enter the heavenly Canaan, in suffering his influence to go against the truth. Others led him to this. Others must account for it. But angels watch the precious dust of this servant of God, and he will come forth at the sound of the last trump.” Spiritual Gifts, vol. 1 (Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association, 1858), 168.
William Miller’s membership in the Masonic Order has been publicly known and recorded since 1853. Miller passed away in 1849, and in 1858, nine years after his death, Ellen G. White had a vision in which she stated that he would be resurrected. This is significant because Ellen G. White had previously clarified that those who belonged to the Masons would lose their souls. So why would God reveal to her that Miller would be saved and later give her another vision stating that Masons would lose their souls?
Any logical person willing to examine the facts can see that Ellen G. White was not receiving visions from God. (IMO)
In 1853, Sylvester Bliss mentioned in his Memoirs of William Miller, pp. 21, 22:
“It was here [Poultney, Vermont] that Miller became a member of the Masonic fraternity, in which his perseverance, if nothing else, was manifested; for he advanced to the highest degree which the lodges in the country, or in any in that region, could confer.”
It’s clear that Mrs. White frequently criticized men who became Freemasons. Take, for example, what she wrote about Brother Faulkhead:
“The Lord also revealed to me Brother Faulkhead’s connection with the Free Masons, and I plainly stated that unless he severed every tie that bound him to these associations he would lose his soul.” Ellen Gould White, Selected Messages From the Writings of Ellen G. White, Book 3 (Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1980), 85.
So, what’s the truth—will William Miller be resurrected with the saints, or will he lose his soul because he was a Mason?
Where in the Bible does it say that angels watch over the dead or their remains?
