Based on the available Ellen White books, there is no direct statement about a "special resurrection for preaching." The search results focus on the resurrection of Christ, the preaching of the apostles about His resurrection, and the power and importance of preaching the gospel, but do not mention a special resurrection specifically for the purpose of preaching. If you are referring to the concept of a "special resurrection" (such as the one mentioned in Daniel 12:2 or in Adventist eschatology, where certain individuals are raised shortly before Christ's second coming), there is no clear connection in these sources to the idea that this resurrection is specifically for the purpose of preaching. If you would like, I can expand the search to other collections (such as manuscripts or compilations) to see if there is more information on this topic. Please let me know if you would like me to do so. References: - Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages - Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy - Ellen G.

After searching the broader Ellen White Estate sources—including manuscripts, compilations, pamphlets, periodicals, and miscellaneous writings—there is no statement or annotation that directly supports the idea of a "special resurrection for preaching." The available materials consistently emphasize the importance and sacredness of preaching the gospel, the power of the resurrection of Christ, and the commission to spread the message of salvation. However, none of these sources connect the concept of a special resurrection (such as that mentioned in Daniel 12:2 or Adventist eschatology) specifically to the purpose of preaching. Some relevant points from the broader sources: - There are references to the resurrection of Christ and the subsequent preaching of the apostles, who powerfully testified of His resurrection (e.g., Acts 4:33, SR 233.3, AUCR June 1, 1904, par. 10). - Ellen White addresses misunderstandings about the resurrection, such as those who believed the resurrection of the righteous had already taken place after 1844, but she rebukes these views and does not link them to a special resurrection for preaching (2SM 34.1, GCB April 23, 1901, Art. A, par. 13). - The "special resurrection" in Adventist teaching is not described as being for the purpose of preaching, but rather as a fulfillment of prophecy and a vindication of God's people. In summary, while the preaching of the gospel and the resurrection are both central themes in Ellen White's writings, there is no evidence in the available sources that a special resurrection is granted specifically for the purpose of preaching.

Based on our best data from the White Estate, there is no statement or annotation in Ellen White’s writings that directly supports the idea that individuals are resurrected specifically for the purpose of preaching. Ellen White frequently emphasizes: - The commission to preach the gospel, the power of the resurrection of Christ, and the responsibility of all believers to share the message of salvation. For example: “The commission given to the disciples is given also to us. Today, as then, a crucified and risen Saviour is to be uplifted before those who are without God and without hope in the world. The Lord calls for pastors, teachers, and evangelists. From door to door His servants are to proclaim the message of salvation. To every nation, kindred, tongue, and people the tidings of pardon through Christ are to be carried.” (Gospel Workers, 29.1; 8T 15.5; ChS 23.3) - The resurrection of Christ is repeatedly connected to the boldness and power of the apostles’ preaching: “But after the Resurrection their hopes and faith were resurrected, and they went forth proclaiming Christ and Him crucified. They told how by wicked hands the Lord of life and glory had been taken and crucified, but He had risen from the dead. And thus with great boldness they spoke the words of life at which the people were much astonished.” (FW 63.4) - There are references to miraculous restorations (such as Paul being restored after being stoned, or Tabitha/Dorcas being raised from the dead), but these are not described as resurrections for the purpose of preaching, but rather as acts that led to conversions or further ministry (8Red 24.2; 7Red 56.1). - The “special resurrection” in Adventist eschatology (Daniel 12:2) is not described as being for the purpose of preaching, but as a fulfillment of prophecy and vindication of God’s people. - Ellen White rebukes the idea that a resurrection of the righteous had already taken place for the purpose of ministry or translation (2SM 34.1; GCB April 23, 1901, Art. A, par. 13). **Conclusion:** While the resurrection of Christ is central to the power and message of Christian preaching, and while there are instances of individuals being restored to life and continuing ministry, there is no evidence in Ellen White’s writings that anyone is resurrected specifically for the purpose of preaching. The commission to preach is given to all believers, empowered by the risen Christ, but not as a result of a special resurrection for that purpose. **References:** - Ellen G.
