What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Did the people of Israel, according to Numbers 14:22, at this point already sin against God ten times?"
Answer
The provided documents contain no explicit confirmation or enumeration of the "ten times" mentioned in Numbers 14:22. However, the texts repeatedly describe the chronic rebellion, unbelief, and murmuring of the people of Israel at various stages of the wilderness wanderings. These constant uprisings, such as at the bitter water or the golden calf, ultimately led them to lose God's favor.
Repeated Rebellion and the Loss of Divine Favor
»The people of Israel, especially the mixed multitude, were constantly inclined to rebel against God. They also murmured against their leader and grieved him with their unbelief and stubbornness... Their sins had already alienated God's favor, and justice demanded their destruction.«
Lack of Trust Despite Repeated Miracles
»Time and again He had revealed Himself to His chosen people... But now, when they fell into trouble, they rebelled, mistrusted God, and complained that Moses had led them and their children out of Egypt only for them to perish of thirst in the desert. Through their murmuring and lack of faith, they disgraced God.«
Unbelief and Complaints in the Desert
»The children of Israel seemed to possess a wicked heart of unbelief. They were not willing to endure hardships in the desert. When they encountered difficulties on the way, they regarded them as impossibilities. Their trust in God waned, and they could see nothing but death before them.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
