What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "The Bible speaks of the mark on the hand or forehead. Doesn’t God’s principle have His seal on the forehead and hand?"
Answer
Yes, the Bible describes God’s words as a sign on the hand and as frontlets between the eyes. The Adventist interpretation quoted here distinguishes this from the end-time seal: it is placed only on the forehead, which symbolizes the mind and convictions; the hand represents power. In this interpretation, the forehead or hand is described as the place for the mark of the beast, not the seal of God.
God’s Words as a Sign on the Hand and Forehead
»Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.«
The Seal of God and the Mark of the Beast
»The worshipers of the beast are to receive his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands. The forehead represents the mind; the hand represents power. Compulsory worship is not pleasing to God; His servants will be sealed only upon their foreheads.«

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.
