#14 & #15: "Instead she claimed she had a vision from God, the first of many.
'I have seen that the 1843
chart was directed by the hand of the Lord, and that it should not be altered; that the figures
were as He
wanted them, that His hand was over, and hid a mistake in some of the figures...' Early
Writings p.
74."—David Snyder. |
#14: This was her first vision. Not at all.
This statement from Early Writings is from a vision that occurred on
September 23, 1850,
nearly six years after her first vision of December 1844 (Early
Writings, pp. 13, 74; Present Truth, Nov. 1, 1850).
#15: God "covered up" the mistake. Under the next
number, the narrator builds upon this out-of-context quotation.
Let's fill in the ellipsis and thus complete the quoted sentence: ". . . that
His hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures, so that
none could see it, until His hand was removed." Rather than God covering up His own
alleged errors, He was instead not bringing the mistakes
of others to their attention until just the right time. The connotation of the actual quote is
thus different than what the video
alleges.
