Da ne bih opet bio optužen da lažem i izmišljam evo još citata koji potvrđuju da su adventistički pioniri vjerovali da je Orion kapija do Boga.

Pamflet Josepha Batesa koji govori o tome da će Se Hristos vratiti na Zemlju iz pravca Oriona. Bates je inače jedan od najznačajnijih ranih adventista jer je upravo on uvjerio Elenu Vajt o potrebu držanja subote što je danas glavna karakteristika adventista.

Ovaj članak direktno priznaje da je Elena Vajt smatrala Orion kapijom do Boga i da su kasniji adventisti u to takođe vjerovali:
"
ELLEN WHITE SAW AN OPEN SPACE TO HEAVEN
Ellen White not only picked up 7th-day Sabbath observance from Captain Bates, but also favored his suggestion that Christ would return to earth through the Orion Nebula. (...) In 1976, however, Adventist science teachers Merton E. Sprengel, M.S., then a chemistry teacher at Union College, and Dowell E. Martz, Ph.D., then a physicist at Pacific Union College, published three articles in the Review and Herald that examined how the opinion of Joseph Bates and the single mention of “the open space in Orion” by the young prophetess have been taken up by subsequent Adventist authors and expanded into a highly speculative idea about Orion as being a starry corridor leading to Heaven."
I onda na kraju i sam članak priznaje da ne postoji nikakva rupa u Orionu odakle će Hristos sići.
"
They concluded there was no “gap in the sky,” no “opening in Orion,” but instead a cloud of stellar dust or gas blocking the stars behind with naked eye or weaker early telescopes."
A onda:
"
And Hubble images and better sizing of the distance and size of Orion’s sword might have changed what Ellen White reported to her audience as a single aside that made sense in her day, but not in ours."
Fokusirajmo se na boldovanu. Autor članka, koji potiče iz adventističkog časopisa, govori da Elen Vajt ne bi govorilo da će Hristos doći iz rupe u Orionu da je znala ono što današnja astronomija zna. Međutim Elen Vajt je tvrdila da je znanje o tome da će Hristos doći iz Oriona dobila u viziji od Boga:

"
God gave me a [vision] the evening of the 16th. I saw that when the Lord said heaven He meant heaven and when He said earth, (...) then we could see the open space in Orion from whence came the voice of God. I saw that the Holy City will come down through that open space"
Kakav je to Božji prorok koji dobija nepouzdane i astronomski netačne vizije od Boga?
