Which person received two visions about Christ's soon return and shared the message with a large crowd?

• A. James White
• B. Ellen Harmon
• C. William Foy
• D. Hazen Foss

Answer: (C)

This item focuses on early Adventist witnesses who claimed visions about Christ's return. One figure is specifically known for receiving two distinct visions about the second coming and then sharing that message with a large crowd, helping to shape early Adventist expectations and outreach. That person is William Foy. In Adventist history, Foy is remembered as a young man who reportedly received two visions concerning Christ’s imminent return and the investigative judgment, and he publicly conveyed these warnings to a sizable audience. Ellen White would later become the broader prophetic voice for the movement, but the two-vision episode tied to presenting to a large crowd is associated with Foy. The other figures—James White, Ellen Harmon (White), Hazen Foss—are known for other roles and experiences within the movement and do not fit this specific description.
