Monday we returned to Dorchester where our dear Brother Nichols and family live. There in the night God gave me a very interesting vision, the most of which you will see in the paper. God shewed me the necessity of getting out a chart. I saw it was needed and that the truth made plain upon tables would effect much and would cause souls to come to the knowledge of the truth. 15 MR 210.3 (Nov 1, 1850)
On our return to Brother Nichols’, the Lord gave me a vision and showed me that the truth must be made plain upon tables, and it would cause many to decide for the truth by the three angels’ messages, with the two former being made plain upon tables. 16 MR 207.1
The first two angels’ messages are outlined on the 1843 chart. The 1850 chart added the third angel’s message so that these two charts combined comprise the whole of the three angels’ messages.
I saw that God was in the publishment of the chart by Brother Nichols [Otis Nichols]. I saw that there was a prophecy of this chart in the Bible, and if this chart is designed for God's people, if it [is] sufficient for one it is for another, and if one needed a new chart painted on a larger scale, all needed it just as much. 1 EGWLM 358.5
The prophecy she refers to is the prophecy of Habakkuk 2:1-3.
