Understanding Ellen White
Chapter Six - Ellen White as God’s Spokesperson
Herbert Douglass
Ellen Harmon was a reluctant seventeen-year-old when she experienced her first vision in December 1844. Over the next seventy years she had hundreds of visions and dreams. Her last recorded vision was on March 3, 1915. 1 The purpose of this chapter is to describe how Ellen White’s visions happened and to explore resulting interpretive issues. 2 UEGW 83.1
