606 Testimonies for the Church Volume 1[660]Moses upon the mount!’ His strength was firm. ‘Unabated,’ is thelanguage of the Scripture. His eye was not dimmed through age, yethe was upon that mount to die. The angels buried him, but the Son ofGod soon came down and raised him from the dead and took him toheaven. But God first gave him a view of the land of promise, with Hisblessing upon it. It was as it were a second Eden. As a panorama thispassed before his vision. He was shown the appearing of Christ at Hisfirst advent, His rejection by the Jewish nation, and His death uponthe cross. Moses then saw Christ’s second advent and the resurrectionof the just. I also spoke of the meeting of the two Adams—Adam thefirst, and Christ the second Adam—when Eden shall bloom on earthagain. The particulars of these interesting points I design to write outfor Testimony No. 14. The brethren wished me to repeat the same inthe evening meeting.“Our meeting through the day had been most solemn. I had sucha burden upon me Sunday evening that I wept aloud for about halfan hour. Monday, solemn appeals had been made, and the Lordwas sending them home. I went into meeting Tuesday evening alittle lighter. I spoke an hour with great freedom upon subjects I hadseen in vision, which I have referred to. Our meeting was very free.Brother Howard wept like a child, as did also Brother Rodman. BrotherAndrews talked in an earnest, touching manner, and with weeping.Brother Ball arose and said that there seemed to be two spirits abouthim that evening, one saying to him: Can you doubt that this testimonyfrom Sister White is of heaven? Another spirit would present beforehis mind the objections he had opened before the enemies of our faith.‘Oh, if I could feel satisfied,’ said he, ‘in regard to all these objections,if they could be removed, I would feel that I had done Sister White agreat injury. I have recently sent a piece to the Hope of Israel. If I hadthat piece, what would I not give!’ He felt deeply, and wept much. TheSpirit of the Lord was in the meeting. Angels of God seemed drawingvery near, driving back the evil angels. Minister and people wept likechildren. We felt that we had gained ground, and that the powers ofdarkness had given back. Our meeting closed well.“We appointed still another meeting for the next day, commencingat 10 a.m. I spoke upon the humiliation and glorification of Christ.Brother Ball sat near me and wept all the time I was talking. I spokeabout an hour, then we commenced our labors for the youth. Parents
