"Section 3—Education “The Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.” Chapter 17—The N eed of Educational Reform 6T 126 “And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.” “And thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.” Isaiah 61:4 ; 58:12 . These words of Inspiration present before believers in present truth the work that should now be done in the education of our children and youth. When the truth for these last days came to the world in the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels' messages, we were shown that in the education of our children a different order of things must be brought in; but it has taken much time to understand what changes should be made. 6T 126"
"And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations."
Ellen White directly references Isaiah 61:4 in this passage.
