What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften ΓΌber: "How does Ellen Harmon describe the day of the expected second coming of Jesus?"
Answer
Ellen White describes the second coming of Jesus as an event of incomparable splendor and glory that surpasses any human expression. He will appear in the clouds of heaven, clothed in a garment of light and accompanied by myriad holy angels.
On this \"Day of Days\" the sound of a trumpet will call the dead out of their graves, while the believers receive their Lord in the air. While the event represents redemption for the prepared, it is described for the unrepentant as a day of wrath and sudden destruction.
The Glory of Christ's Appearance
Β»No human language can describe the scenes of the Son of Man's return in the clouds of heaven. He will come in His own glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. He will come in a garment of light that He has worn since the days of eternity. Angels will accompany Him. Ten thousand times ten thousand will escort Him on His way. The sound of the trumpet will be heard and will call the sleeping dead from the grave. Christ's voice will penetrate the grave... and \"all who are in the graves... will come forth\".Β«
A Day of Reckoning and Reward
Β»We are now in the midst of the dangers of the last days. The scenes of conflict are drawing nearer, and the Day of Days is imminent... Every deed, small and great, will be brought to account. What was considered insignificant here will then appear as it truly is. The two small pieces of the widow will be recognized. The offered cup of cold water, the visited prison, the fed hungry one β each will bring its own reward.Β«
The Day of the Lord as Sudden Destruction
Β»The Day of the Lord is the day of \"sudden destruction\". It is the day of wrath, which in the Old and New Testament is associated with the second coming of Christ... The Christians of the last generation β precisely the men and women who will be on earth when the Day of the Lord comes β are addressed here... \"For you yourselves know exactly that the Day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. When they say: It is peace and safety, then destruction will suddenly overtake them\".Β«
The Symbolic Fulfillment of the Day of Atonement
Β»So it was believed that Christ, our great High Priest, would appear to cleanse the earth by destroying sin and sinners and to bless his waiting people with immortality. The tenth day of the seventh month, the great Day of Atonement, the time of cleansing of the sanctuary, which fell on October 22, 1844, was regarded as the time of the Lord's coming.Β«
