엘렌 지 화잇의 기록에 따르면, 예언의 은사는 하나님의 교회가 시작된 이래로 하나님의 백성을 인도하고 훈계하며 가르치기 위해 주신 살아있는 목소리로서 존재해 왔습니다 (9MR 278.3). 역사적으로 이 은사는 이스라엘의 회복을 기다리던 시기나 메시아의 초림을 준비하던 때에도 침례 요한이나 안나와 같은 인물들을 통해 나타났으며, 이는 교회의 영적 상태와 시대적 필요에 따라 하나님께서 허락하시는 선물임을 보여줍니다 (1SG 5). 마지막 시대의 남은 교회 역시 하나님의 계명을 지키며 예수의 증거, 즉 예언의 신을 가질 것이라고 설명됩니다 (1TT 17.2). 특히 지구 역사의 마지막 장면에서 사단의 권세가 강해질 때, 하나님께서는 성령의 부어주심을 통해 다양한 방식으로 역사하실 것이며, 우리가 이전에 보지 못했던 놀라운 일들을 보게 될 시기가 올 것임을 시사합니다 (3SM 369.5). 이는 성령의 역사가 과거에 국한되지 않고 미래에도 특별한 표징으로 나타날 수 있음을 보여줍니다 (3SM 369.5). 하지만 새로운 빛이나 계시를 주장하는 이들에 대해서는 엄격한 기준이 제시됩니다. 1844년 이후 확립된 신앙의 주요 지점들은 성령의 증거를 통해 확립된 변하지 않는 진리이며, 어떠한 인간적 권위도 이 기별의 위치를 변경할 권리가 없습니다 (8MR 319), (17MR 6). 만약 누군가가 예언적 견해를 제시하더라도, 그것이 과거 하나님께서 당신의 백성을 인도해 오신 역사적 경험과 일치하지 않거나 진리와 오류가 섞여 있다면 그것은 올바른 성경적 적용이라 할 수 없습니다 (17MR 1). 결론적으로, 예언의 은사는 교회의 유익과 성도들의 온전함을 위해 주신 것이며, 마지막 날의 사업이 마쳐질 때까지 성령의 다양한 운영을 통해 나타날 수 있습니다 (9MR 278.3), (1TT 17.2). 다만 모든 새로운 주장은 이미 확립된 진리의 토대 위에서 검증되어야 하며, 하나님께서 세우신 기별의 근간을 흔드는 것이 되어서는 안 됩니다 (17MR 6).

“Be assured, Elder Jones, that if you see your mistake in pursuing the course you have for some time been following, and take your position on the side of truth in regard to this question, the spell that is upon you will be broken. We call upon you to take your stand on the Lord's side, and act your part as a loyal subject of the kingdom. Acknowledge the gift that has been placed in the church for the guidance of God's people in the closing days of earth's history. From the beginning the church of God has had the gift of prophecy in her midst as a living voice to counsel, admonish, and instruct. We have now come to the last days of the work of the third angel's message, when Satan will work with increasing power because he knows that his time is short. At the same time there will come to us through the gifts of the Holy Spirit, diversities of operations in the outpouring of the Spirit. This is the time of the latter rain. 9MR 278.3”
“The Trustees of the Ellen G. White Publications. Spiritual Gifts The gift of prophecy was manifested in the church during the Jewish dispensation. If it disappeared for a few centuries, on account of the corrupt state of the church towards the close of that dispensation, it re-appeared at its close to usher in the Messiah. Zachariah, the father of John the Baptist, “was filled with the holy spirit, and prophesied.” Simeon, a just and devout man who was “waiting for the consolation of Israel,” came by the spirit into the temple, and prophesied of Jesus as “a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Israel;” And Anna a prophetess “spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.” And there was no greater prophet than John, who was chosen of God to introduce to Israel “the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.” 1SG 5”
“Seventh-day Adventists understood, and today understand, Mrs. White's ministry as the “messenger of the Lord” to be in fulfillment of the prophecy of ( Revelation 12:17 and 19:10 ), that the remnant church “which keep the commandments of God” was to “have the testimony of Jesus”—“the spirit of prophecy.” They see in her work the gift of prophecy of which Paul speaks in ( Ephesians 4:9-13 ) placed with other gifts in the church “for the perfecting of the saints” and “the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith.” 1TT 17.2”
“Ellen G. White : In the future we shall have special tokens of the influence of the Spirit of God—especially at times when our enemies are the strongest against us. The time will come when we shall see some strange things; but just in what way—whether similar to some of the experiences of the disciples after they received the Holy Spirit following the ascension of Christ—I cannot say. 3SM 369.5”
“Released March 17, 1978. MR N o. 613—Ellen White an Inspired Interpreter of the Bible The truths given us after the passing of the time in 1844 are just as certain and unchangeable as when the Lord gave them to us in answer to our urgent prayers. The visions that the Lord has given me are so remarkable that we know that what we have accepted is the truth. This was demonstrated by the Holy Spirit. Light, precious light from God, established the main points of our faith as we hold them today. And these truths are to be kept before the mind. We must arouse from the position of lukewarmness, from being neither cold nor hot. We need increased faith and more earnest trust in God. We must not be satisfied to remain where we are. We must advance step by step, from light to greater light. 8MR 319”
“Ellen G. White Estate Washington, D. C., April 6, 1987. Entire manuscript. MR N o. 1237—Testimony Concerning the Views of Prophecy Held by John Bell—Part II (Written November 8, 1896, at Cooranbong, N.S.W.) The proclamation of the first, second, and third angels’ messages has been located by the Word of Inspiration. Not a peg or pin is to be removed. No human authority has any more right to change the location of these messages than to substitute the New Testament for the Old. The Old Testament is the gospel in figures and symbols. The New Testament is the substance. One is as essential as the other. The Old Testament presents lessons from the lips of Christ, and these lessons have not lost their force in any particular. 17MR 6”

I have not been able to sleep since half past one o'clock. I was bearing to Brother John Bell a message which the Lord had given me for him. The peculiar views he holds are a mixture of truth and error. If he had passed through the experience of God's people as He has led them for the last forty years, he would be better prepared to make the correct application of Scripture. 17MR 1”
