Here in this section on tobacco, we can recognize how farsighted the Spirit of Prophecy was as it brought us God’s revelation. In Ellen White’s day, public practice and opinion were basically in favor of smoking. She predicted that only a “revolution upon the subject of tobacco” would bring the ax to the root of the problem. Today that revolution is being seen and the hour has come for the church to take up this subject and provide temperance as God’s answer. Consider these points as you study this lesson:Te-SG 23.2
