Ellen White clearly addresses the need for increased organization in the church as we near the end of time. Here are some key statements from her writings that directly support this principle: 1. In Testimonies for the Church, Volume 1, she writes: > "August 3, 1861, I was shown that some have feared that our churches would become Babylon if they should organize; but those in central New York have been perfect Babylon, confusion. And now unless the churches are so organized that they can carry out and enforce order, they have nothing to hope for in the future; they must scatter into fragments. ... If ministers of God would unitedly take their position, and maintain it with decision, there would be a uniting influence among the flock of God. ... Then there would be a power and strength in the ranks of Sabbathkeepers far exceeding anything we have yet witnessed." (1T 270) 2. In Early Writings (Supplement), she states: > "The Lord has shown me that gospel order has been too much neglected and feared. ... And now in these last days, while God is bringing his children into the unity of the faith, there is more real need of order than ever before. For as God is uniting his children, Satan and his evil angels are very busy to prevent this unity, and to destroy it." (ExV54 15) 3. In Christian Education, she warns against disorganization: > "But although these difficulties exist, will it abolish them to put an end to organization? I am sure that the Lord has wrought in the organization that has been perfected, and the fact that there are discouraging features in the work should not be thought a sufficient reason for disorganization. ... Shall we go back to disorder because unconsecrated members of the church have placed upon the work the mould of man, and sought to fashion the church to meet a popular standard?" (CE 135.2) These statements make it clear that Ellen White advocated for more, not less, organization in the church as the end approaches. She saw order and unity as essential to the church’s mission and survival in the last days. **References:** - White, E. G. (1868). Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 1, p. 270. - White, E. G. (1882).

Ellen White is very clear that as we approach the end of time, there is a greater—not lesser—need for order and organization in the church. Here are ten statements from her writings that emphasize this point: 1. **Early Writings, p. 97:** "And now in these last days, while God is bringing his children into the unity of the faith, there is more real need of order than ever before. For as God is uniting his children, Satan and his evil angels are very busy to prevent this unity, and to destroy it." 2. **Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 1, p. 647:** "Has God changed from a God of order?—No; he is the same in the present dispensation as in the former. ... He designs that we should learn lessons of order and organization from the perfect order instituted in the days of Moses, for the benefit of the children of Israel." 3. **Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 1, p. 191:** "There is order in heaven, and God is well pleased with the efforts of His people in trying to move with system and order in His work on earth. I saw that there should be order in the church of God, and that system is needed in carrying forward successfully the last great message of mercy to the world." 4. **Gospel Workers (1892), p. 333:** "There is order in heaven; and there should be system and order upon the earth, that the work may move forward without confusion and fanaticism." 5. **Christian Education, p. 135.2:** "But although these difficulties exist, will it abolish them to put an end to organization? ... Shall we go back to disorder because unconsecrated members of the church have placed upon the work the mould of man, and sought to fashion the church to meet a popular standard?" 6. **Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 6, p. 22:** "We have no time to lose. The end is near. ... We must look our work fairly in the face and advance as fast as possible in aggressive warfare." 7. **Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 9, p. 25:** "Unmistakable evidences point to the nearness of the end. The warning is to be given in certain tones. The way must be prepared for the coming of the Prince of Peace in the clouds of heaven." 8. **Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 8, p. 28:** "Transgression has almost reached its limit. Confusion fills the world, and a great terror is soon to come upon human beings. The end is very near. We who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise." 9. **Counsels to Teachers, p. 413:** "The thought to be kept before students is that time is short and that they must make speedy preparation for doing the work that is essential for this time.... I am bidden to say to you that you know not how soon the crisis will come." 10. **Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 9, p. 101:** "Oh, that we might see the needs of these cities as God sees them! At such a time as this every hand is to be employed. The Lord is coming; the end is near, yea, it hasteth greatly! In a little while we shall be unable to work with the freedom that we now enjoy." The clearest and most direct statement is in **Early Writings, p. 97**: *"there is more real need of order than ever before."* This phrase most closely matches your request. **References:** - White, E.
