What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Holy Sites in the Gospel of Matthew"
Answer
The Gospel of Matthew and the prophetic writings highlight Galilee, especially Capernaum and Nazareth, as significant sites where Jesus acted as the \"Light of the World\". The Temple in Jerusalem is described as a holy place sanctified by the divine presence of Christ, while Golgotha outside the city gates holds central importance as the site of the representative crucifixion. Additionally, tradition links Mount Moria as the location of the temple and Abraham’s offering with the hill of the crucifixion.
Galilee as Holy Ground
»It is hallowed ground where He once walked, the Prince of Peace, the Son of God. O Galilee, sweet Galilee, your blessed name will be holy in every climate, on every shore, until the suns set, never to rise again.«
The Cleansing of the Holy Temple
»When the Lord's presence sanctified the mountain, His presence likewise sanctified the temple erected to His honor. ... The profaners of God's holy place were driven from its portals by the Majesty of Heaven. After the temple had been cleansed, Jesus' appearance changed; the dreadful Majesty of His countenance gave way to an expression of the most tender compassion.«
Capernaum as the Center of Jesus' Ministry
»Capernaum itself was well suited to be the center of the Savior's work. Since it lay on the main road from Damascus to Jerusalem and Egypt as well as to the Mediterranean, it was a major thoroughfare for travelers. ... Here Jesus could meet all nations and all classes, the rich and great as well as the poor and lowly.«
Golgotha: Suffering Outside the Gate
»Christ, our substitute, was to suffer outside the bounds of Jerusalem. He died before the gate where criminals and murderers were executed. ... A huge crowd followed Jesus from the courtroom to Golgotha.«
The Connection of Moria and Golgotha
»It is assumed that the hill of the crucifixion was also the hill called Mount Moria, to which God sent Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, who was also a type of the Messiah Prince. ... What would be more natural than to assume that the immortal Prince of Glory would choose the place for the scene of His victory over the Prince of Darkness, where Satan staged his first drama with fallen humanity.«
Nazareth – The Childhood Home of Jesus
»The land of Zebulun has the great honor of being the home of Jesus' childhood. Nazareth lay within its borders. The people here had the opportunity to see and hear more of Christ than anywhere else. ... Truly, this prophecy was fulfilled, for they had within their borders the greatest light this world has ever seen.«
