In what year was Ellen White's first vision printed, and what was it called?

• A. 1845, The Vision of the Dawn
• B. 1847, The Morning Star
• C. 1849, The Adventist Herald
• D. 1846, To the Remnant Scattered Abroad

Answer: (D)

The question tests knowledge of when Ellen White’s first vision was made public and what it was titled. After the 1844 Great Disappointment, her writings began to circulate, and the earliest printed vision appeared in 1846 under the title “To the Remnant Scattered Abroad.” This publication is significant because it marks the first time her visions were shared broadly with the fledgling Adventist movement, helping to shape its identity and sense of mission. The title reflects the idea of a faithful remnant scattered across different regions, a theme that guided early Adventist understanding and encouragement to stay true to the message they believed was being entrusted to them.
