What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "The 144,000 are those through whom God is glorified"
Answer
In the revered writings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, it is affirmed that the 144,000 are understood as a spiritual class who glorify God through their living testimony of obedience and their commitment to divine Sabbath holiness. They are not merely a numerical group, but representatives of a larger, global community that bears the mark of God in their lives, thereby manifesting His glory.
The 144,000 as a Class That Glorifies God Through Living Obedience
»In the Christian Church there is neither Jew nor Greek; all are one in Christ Jesus. We are all grafted into the family of Abraham. The one hundred forty-four thousand are not necessarily literal descendants of the Jews, but those who bear the seal of the living God on their foreheads, whose lives are in harmony with Jehovah's holy statutes.«
Signs of Identity and the Glorification of God Through the Seal of the 144,000
»On page 41: 'These are they who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.' The Apostle Paul lists as a mark of piety in a widow: 'If she has washed the saints' feet.' Jesus, who is hated by the angels, gave the example and the command to do this more emphatically than any other lifestyle. 'The Friend of God' thus served while standing before the angels.«
God's People Follow the Lamb and Bear His Mark
»The Lord has a people on earth who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. He has His thousands who have not bowed to Baal. Such will establish with Him on Zion. But they must stand on this earth, fully equipped with the armor, ready to perform the work of rescuing those who are perishing. Heavenly angels lead this search, and spiritual activity is required of all who believe the present truth, so that they may join the angels in their work.«

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.
