Ellen Gould White
What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "Discussion on the flat earth"
Answer
In the existing writings of Ellen G. White there is no direct scientific discussion about the geometric shape of the earth as a disc or sphere. Instead, the texts emphasize God's sovereignty as Creator, who laid the foundations of the earth and measured the seas and mountains in their extent. The earth is primarily described as the setting of the great conflict and the coming judgments of God, on which humanity is to be prepared for the imminent return of Christ.
God's Sovereignty over Creation
»Who measured the waters with a hollow hand, and who measured the heavens with a span, and captured the dust of the earth with a measure, and weighed the mountains with a balance, and the hills with a scale? Who directed the spirit of Jehovah, or who has been his counselor and instructed him? ... Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket and are counted like a speck on the balance: Behold, he lifts the islands up like a tiny thing.«
God's Founding of the World
»Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? ... Or who sealed the sea with gates when it burst forth; ... when I made the cloud his garment and dense darkness his swaddling, and wrote my decree for him, set bars and gates, and said: You shall come only up to this point and no farther; and here your proud waves shall be laid down?«
The Earth as the Place of the Final Judgment
»The earth appeared like a desolate wilderness. Cities and villages, shaken down by the earthquake, lay in ruins. Mountains had been displaced from their places, leaving great caverns. Jagged rocks, cast out by the sea or torn from the earth itself, were scattered across its entire surface. ... Here, for a thousand years, shall be the home of Satan with his evil angels. Here he will be confined, to wander up and down upon the broken surface of the earth.«
Confusion and the Approaching Surprise of the World
»The transgression has almost reached its limit. Confusion fills the world, and a great terror will soon come upon humanity. The end is very near. We, who know the truth, should prepare ourselves for what will soon break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise.«
