What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "People will have to learn in a few months what we have learned over years."
Answer
The statement that new believers must learn in a few months what others needed years for refers to the urgency of character preparation and the understanding of biblical truth in the end times. Since the truth is now clearly presented and the "light has been brought together," those who accept it now must move quickly to be ready for the coming crisis. This is not a specific timetable for the end of the world, but rather the necessity to spiritually grow rapidly in view of the approaching time of tribulation.
Rapid Learning of Truth in the End Times
»Some of us had time to recognize the truth and move forward step by step, and each step we took gave us strength for the next. But now the time is almost up, and what we have learned over years, they will have to learn in a few months. They will also have much to unlearn and much new to learn.«
Urgency and the End of Milk Feeding
»It is too late in the day to feed with milk. ... Truths that took us years to learn must be learned by those now accepting the third angelic message in a few months. We had to search and wait for the unveiling of truth, receiving a ray of light here and a ray there, working and pleading with God to reveal the truth to us. But now the truth is clear; its rays have been brought together. ... Those who accept the truth now will have to move forward quickly.«
The Importance of Rapid Learning Before the Crisis
»Ellen White does not say that Christ will come "in a few months," but that "what we have learned in years, they must learn in a few months." ... When war is imminent, citizens must quickly learn the art of warfare. In our warfare with Satan, it is the recognition of truth that equips us for the battle. The "learning" of it is therefore an extremely important point, and the time element in learning can be equally important.«
