What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Isa 55:4-5 who is that HE and YOU"
Answer
In the prophecy from Isaiah 55:4-5, the \"He\" (the one given as a witness and leader) refers to Christ, the Messiah from the royal line of David. He is the one whom God appointed as a witness to the people and as a leader and commander of Israel and the nations.
The word \"you\" (to whom the promise and glory are given) refers to God's people, i.e., Israel, to whom God has bestowed His grace. Because of the holiness of the Lord, your God, nations that previously did not know Him will run to this people, for God has glorified His people through Christ.
Messiah as Leader and Commander of the Nations
»Isaiah prophesied: “And a youth will come from the root of Jesse, and a branch will grow from his roots.” “Incline your ear and come to me; listen, and your soul will live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, namely the reliable mercies of David. Behold, I have given Him as a witness to the people, as a leader and commander of the people. Behold, you will call a nation that you do not know, and the nations that have not known you will run to you because of the Lord, your God, and because of the Holy Israel; for He has glorified you.”«
Christ as the Invisible Leader and Commander of Israel
»Here Christ is again presented as the Leader and Commander of Israel during their forty-year dwelling in the desert. The identity is also shown where we are told that the man Joshua saw at Jericho with a drawn sword in his hand, when Joshua asked: “Are you for us or for our opponents?” answered: “No, but I have come as the commander of the Lord’s army.” Indeed, no one can deny that Christ was the true Leader of Israel, although invisible.«

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.
