What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "In which verses is the final rejection of Israel as the chosen people described?"
Answer
The Scriptures describe that Israel's status as a favored nation of God ended with the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. By the conscious choice of Barabbas instead of the Redeemer, the people pronounced a judgment upon themselves that led to the destruction of Jerusalem and the scattering of the nation. Ultimately Israel was rejected as a people because it disregarded its mission and finally rejected God's offer of grace.
The End of Israel's Favor through the Crucifixion
»If Christ were hanging on the cross of Capernaum, Israel's day as a nation favored and blessed by God would be ended. The loss of even a single soul is a misfortune that infinitely outweighs the gain and treasures of a world; but when Christ looked upon Jerusalem, the ruin of an entire city, an entire nation lay before Him – that city, that nation, which once had been God's chosen, His special treasure.«
The Conscious Decision Against Christ and Its Consequences
»The people of Israel had made their choice. By pointing to Jesus, they said, \"Not this one, but Barabbas.\" ... As a nation they acted according to his decree. ... That people who chose Barabbas instead of Christ should feel the cruelty of Barabbas as long as time endures. ... This sentence spoken over themselves was written down in heaven. This prayer was heard. The blood of the Son of God fell upon their children and grandchildren, a perpetual curse. Terribly it was fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem. Terribly it has manifested in the condition of the Jewish nation for eight hundred years – a branch cut off from the vine, a dead, fruitless branch that is to be gathered and burned.«
The Desolation of the House of Israel
»Christ weeps. God's Israel, to which He has given every advantage, will soon reject its king and its God. ... Christ looks into the future of Jerusalem, when the glory that was to rest on this chosen nation according to God's plan would be removed... He calls: \"Behold, your house will be left desolate: and truly, I say to you: you will not see me until the time comes when you will say: Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord.\«
Prophetic Prediction of the National Downfall
»Through the spirit of inspiration, Moses looked far ahead into the ages and described the dreadful scenes of Israel's final fall as a nation and the destruction of Jerusalem by the armies of Rome: \"The Lord will bring a people from afar against you, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle flies; a people whose language you do not understand; a people of grim countenance.\«
