The Visions of Mrs. E.G. White

OBJECTION 33. — THE HOLDING OF THE WINDS

It was shown in vision some sixteen years since that the winds were being held, and that they would be held till Jesus’ work in the most holy place was finished. Then, says the objector, his work there must be now finished, according to the vision; for the winds began to blow in the recent terrible rebellion in the United States. But cannot the objector see that an outbreak of the winds, and their being restrained, is not the blowing of the winds? And how would it be known that they were being held, unless there should be an occasional outbreak, and that outbreak be by some unseen power suddenly restrained? But all such outbreaks will be checked till the work of Christ is finished in the sanctuary. Then the nations will be permitted to plunge into that final conflict for which the spirits of devils and their own anger, are now preparing them. There is difficulty here. VEGW 93.1
