Has the Omega arrived? Students of Adventist church history know that the church was nearly torn apart by a doctrinal crisis during the first decade of the twentieth century. The world - renowned Adventist physician, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, had set forth pantheistic notions of the personality of God. He skillfully used selected statements from the writings of E.G. White to buttress his own writings, and thus convinced many church leaders to look favorably o n his unbiblical views of God. However, Mrs. White was still on the scene at that time. She protested the misuse of her writings, and vigorously entered the fray to defeat Dr. Kellogg’s unbiblical speculations about the personality and nature of God and Hi s Son. Kellogg lost the theological battle. As a result the church lost some of its prominent leaders and much property. Mrs. White had referred to the Kellogg controversy as the “alpha of deadly heresies.” (See Selected Messages , book 1, p. 200.) Traumati c as that was for her, she was more concerned about a far more deceptive error, which she referred to as the “Omega.” She predicted it would follow the “alpha”.
