What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Did Ellen G. White describe what angels look like, including appearance, clothing, brightness, wings, and physical form?"
Answer
Yes, Ellen G. White described the appearance of angels in various places. She depicts their perfect form, their noble bearing, as well as their countenance, which shines with otherworldly light and heavenly glory.
She also describes angels with outstretched wings and reports on their clothing, which at times shines like a flash of lightning, appears as heavenly armor, or, when appearing on earth, resembles the simple garments of human wanderers.
Form, Countenance, and Light of Angels
»Lucifer was, before his rebellion, a high and exalted angel in heaven, the next in honor after God's beloved Son. His countenance, like that of the other angels, was gentle and expressed bliss. His forehead was high and broad, indicating a powerful mind. His form was perfect, his bearing noble and majestic. A special light radiated from his countenance and shone around him brighter and more beautiful than around the other angels ...«
Radiant Garments and Human Form of Angels
»Heavenly beings have actively participated in human affairs. They appeared in garments that shone like lightning; they came as men in the attire of wanderers. Angels appeared to God's people in human form. They, as if weary, rested at noon under the oaks. They accepted the hospitality of human homes ... Clothed with the armor of heaven, they came to roll the stone away from the Savior's tomb.«
Angels with Outstretched Wings
»I saw angels over the saints with their wings spread around them. Each saint had an accompanying angel. When the saints wept from discouragement or were in danger, the angels who always stood by them rose quickly to bring the message, and the angels in the city ceased singing.«
Faces Shining with the Radiance of Jesus
»I have seen hordes of angels standing in an open square, each bearing a golden harp ... It is a heavenly, divine melody, while from each countenance the image of Jesus radiates and shines in unspeakable glory.«
Guardian Angels in Full Armor
»I saw that the host of guardian angels around them had doubled, and they were clothed from head to toe in armor. They moved in precise order, firm as a host of soldiers ... Yet their features, which had been marked by severe inner anguish, now radiated in the light and glory of heaven.«
