Ellen White's writings describe a "special resurrection" that takes place just before the general resurrection of the righteous or the wicked. This special resurrection is distinct and includes two main groups: 1. Those who pierced Christ: Ellen White refers to Revelation 1:7, stating that those who were directly involved in Christ's crucifixion—those who "mocked and derided Christ's dying agonies," as well as "the most violent opposers of His truth and His people"—will be raised to see Him coming in glory. 2. Some of the righteous dead: Specifically, those who died in the faith of the third angel's message (those who kept the Sabbath and the commandments of God) will be raised in this special resurrection to witness Christ's return and to hear God's covenant of peace. These points are summarized from her book The Great Controversy, page 637, where she writes: "Those who have died in the faith of the third angel's message come forth from the tomb glorified, to hear God's covenant of peace with those who have kept His law. 'They also which pierced Him,' those that mocked and derided Christ's dying agonies, and the most violent opposers of His truth and His people, are raised to behold Him in His glory and to see the honor placed upon the loyal and obedient." (The Great Controversy, 637) If you would like more direct quotations or further detail, I can search in other collections (such as manuscripts or compilations) for more explicit statements about the special resurrection. Let me know if you would like me to do so. References: - White, E. G. (1911). The Great Controversy, p. 637. - White, E. G. (1911).
