Ellen Gould White
What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "It is about Sister White; she did not call herself a prophetess because she was inspired by the Spirit of God, showing absolute humility. She says elsewhere that she is more than just a messenger. My point is that if someone is connected with the Spirit of God and proclaims exactly the word of God, then I cannot disparage those words in relation to the Gospel, since they have the same origin and are acted by God."
Answer
### The Divine Authority of the Messages >»Why did I not claim to be a prophetess? – Because in these days many who boldly claim to be prophets are a disgrace to the cause of Christ; and because my work encompasses far more than the word “prophet” means. ... Others have called me a prophetess, but I never claimed that title. I did not feel it was my duty to call myself that.«
### Rejecting the Testimonies as an Offense to God >»It is not you who speaks: It is the Lord who gives the messages of warning and rebuke. Do not deviate from the truth under any circumstances. Pass on the light that I will give you. The messages for these last days are to be written in books and stand forever.«
### The Instrument and the Divine Origin >»But if I now send you a testimony of warning and rebuke, many of you say it is merely Sister White's opinion. By doing so you have offended the Spirit of God. You know how the Lord has revealed Himself through the spirit of prophecy... Is this work of the last thirty‑six years from above or from below?«
### The Role as the Lord’s Messenger >»If God has given me a message to deliver to His people, then those who hinder me in the work and try to diminish the people's faith in its truth are not fighting against the instrument but against God. “It is not the instrument that you disregard and insult, but God who has spoken to you in these warnings and rebukes.”«
»Neither then nor since the work has taken on great dimensions ... has anyone seen me claim leadership of this people. ... This is my work—to give the people the light that the Lord gives me. I am commissioned to receive and transmit His messages. I am to appear before the people in no other role than that of a messenger with a message.«

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.
