What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "If Jesus went into the heavenly sanctuary in 1844 and began His ministry there, what had He been doing until 1844?"
Answer
According to the quotations provided, Jesus did not begin His high-priestly ministry only in 1844, but at His ascension. Until 1844, He ministered in the first apartment of the heavenly sanctuary: He interceded for sinners with His blood and presented the prayers of repentant believers before God. In 1844, the second phase of His ministry began in the Most Holy Place, in connection with the investigative judgment.
Jesus’ Ministry Before 1844
»Between Christ’s ascension and 1844, the Saviour ministered in the first apartment of the heavenly sanctuary with His own shed blood.«
Intercession in the First Apartment
»The ministration of the priest in the first apartment of the sanctuary, during the year, represents the work of ministration which Christ entered upon at His ascension. […] Thus Christ pleaded His blood before the Father in behalf of sinners, and presented also, with the precious fragrance of His own righteousness, the prayers of penitent believers.«

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.
