The Foundational Messages Of Adventism were lithographed on 300 Charts known as the Habakkuk’s Tables. The Messenger Of The LORD, Ellen G. White penned the following words found in, (Manuscript Releases Volume Thirteen Numbers 1,000-1,080 – page 359) "I saw that God was in the publishment of the Chart by Brother Nichols. I saw that there was a prophecy of this Chart in the Bible, and if this Chart is designed for God’s people, if it [is] sufficient for one it is for another, and if one needed a new Chart painted on a larger scale, all need it just as much." (Manuscript Releases Volume Sixteen Numbers 1,186-1,235) "On our return to Brother Otis Nichols’, The LORD gave me a Vision and showed me that the truth must be made plain upon Tables, and it would cause many to decide for the truth by the Three Angels’ Messages, with the two former being made plain upon Tables." The 1850 Chart is "a pictorial illustration depicting the Visions of Daniel and John published by Otis Nichols. On the 1850 Chart, or Table according to Habakkuk’s prophecy, there is an additional mention of "The Sanctuary And Its Cleansing", The Image Of The Papacy and the date 1843 – which appeared six times ("in some of the figures") on the 1843 Chart and was corrected to 1844 on the 1850 Chart. So according to the evidence we have here, "the first of the Prophetic Periods, considered as main pillars of Adventism was the 2,520 year prophecy and "the second of the Prophetic Periods, was the 2,300 year prophecy. Also on the Charts we noticed, what are considered "the commencement of the chain of truth", which in other words are the starting points of the great Prophetic Periods such as, 677 B.C. of the 2,520 years prophetic period, 457 B.C. of the 2,300 years prophetic period, 606 B.C. of the 2,450 years prophetic period, 508 A.D. of the 1,290 & 1,335 years Prophetic Periods, and 538 A.D. of the 1,260 years prophetic period and so forth. The importance of these Prophetic Periods was explained in, (Early Writings – My First Vision page 236) "Jesus and all the heavenly host looked with sympathy and love upon those who had with sweet expectation longed to see Him whom their souls loved. Angels were hovering around them, to sustain them in the hour of their trial. Those who had neglected to receive the heavenly message were left in darkness, and God’s anger was kindled against them, because they would not receive the light which he had sent them from heaven. Those faithful, disappointed ones, who could not understand why their LORD did not come, were not left in darkness. Again they were led to their Bibles to search the Prophetic Periods. The hand of the LORD was removed from the figures, and the mistake was explained. They saw that the Prophetic Periods reached to 1844, and that the same evidence which they had presented to show that the Prophetic Periods closed in 1843, proved that they would terminate in 1844. Light from The Word Of God shone upon their position, and they discovered a tarrying time—"Though it [the Vision] tarry, wait for it." In their love for Christ’s immediate coming, they had overlooked the tarrying of the Vision, which was calculated to manifest the true waiting ones. Again they had a point of time. Yet I saw that many of them could not rise above their severe disappointment to possess that degree of zeal and energy which had marked their faith in 1843." Finally we have the work of Christ Final Atonement in the Sanctuary. In the backbone of each Chart is a centrally located historical date column. These columns each present, overall, a time period of 2,520 years (from 677 BC to 1843/1844 AD). Where Christ dying on the cross is the central figure on each Chart.
