VISIT: THE ADVENTIST PIONEER LIBRARY
I have had presentations regarding the deceptions that Satan is bringing in at this time. I have been instructed that we should make prominent the testimony of some of the old workers who are now dead. Let them continue to speak through their articles as found in the early numbers of our papers. These articles should now be reprinted, that there may be a living voice from the Lord’s witnesses. The history of the early experiences in the message will be a power to withstand the masterly ingenuity of Satan’s deceptions. This instruction has been repeated recently. I must present before the people the testimonies of Bible truth, and repeat the decided messages given years ago. I desire that my sermons given at camp meetings and in churches may live and do their appointed work.—Letter 99, 1905.

Importance of Our History (Eastern Question)
“Those who desire to become successful students of the prophecies will find “Daniel and the Revelation” an invaluable help. They need to understand this book [referring to Uriah Smith’s book]. It speaks of past, present, and future, laying out the path so plainly that none need err therein. Those who will diligently study this book will have no relish for the cheap sentiments presented by those who have a burning desire to get out something new and strange to present to the flock of God. The rebuke of God is upon all such teachers. The great, essential questions which God would have presented to the people are found in Daniel and the Revelation. There is found solid, eternal truth for this time. Everyone needs the light and information it contains.” 1MR 61.2
“These thoughts are not the fruit of one brain. In the time of the end, the Revelation was to be unsealed and opened. And from, the open book, light has been shining. William Miller saw much. Others since have seen more…. This …. is a book of thoughts, clothed in the author’s happy style, plain, yet critical and practical coming down to the spiritual wants of the common people, yet elevated and dignified. This standard work should be in the library of every believer.” ‘The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald’, July 16, 1867

The Fulfilment of Prophecy; or, A Prophetic History of The World; Incliding a Few Suggestions on the Probable Termini of the Chronological Periods by (1852) F. H. Berick and J.Couch [covers Eastern Question] Please note the year book was written (1852) and keep in mind that the Crimean War had not yet transpired so they were looking for an event to fulfill the prophecy which we know happened in 1853. Also Daniel 11:36-39 was not correctly understood by Couch; but interestingly, in his book on Daniel 11 (printed in 1868), he came to a correct understanding of France fulfilling these prophecies as well as a fuller understanding also, of verses 40-45. — See his book below, under “Prophecy/ Eastern Question.”

Need more books by the pioneers, it is their voices that are to be heard.
Thanks for the suggestion Brother Vinnie. Will definitely be adding more books as we move forward.
You are doing a marvelous job, a joy to to look over the different links. Much information and learning tools to view. A good resource for anyone seeking truth. A lighthouse for those to stay in the faith of our pioneers. Well done !!
