What does Ellen White write about...

Adventistische Schriften über: "Show me the quote that deals with the fact that there will be a time when people will want to sell their houses, but they will no longer be able to."

Answer

The provided quotes contain exactly the sought statement. Ellen White describes that people in the time of need will try to sell their property, but will no longer be able to do so. She warns against clinging to possessions instead of asking God for the right time to sell.

In particular, Quote 1 describes very aptly the situation where people can no longer dispose of their property when the time of need has arrived.

Futile Attempt to Sell Property in the Time of Need

»I saw that... they would try to dispose of it in the time of need, but would not be able to do so. I heard some lament: “The matter was stagnant, God’s people hungered for the truth, and we made no effort to remedy the shortage; now our possession is useless. Oh, if only we had let it go and gathered a treasure in heaven!”«

Houses and Lands in the Time of Need

»I saw that houses and lands would be of no use to the saints in the time of need, for they would have to flee from angry mobs from their possessions, and at that time they would no longer be able to dispose of them to promote the cause of the present truth.«

A Time Will Come When One Cannot Sell at Any Price

»The time will come when we cannot sell at any price. Soon a decree will be issued that forbids people to buy or sell from any man, except the one who bears the mark of the beast.«

  • Time of need property selling
  • Houses lands saints flee
  • Gather treasure in heaven sacrifice

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.
