What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "The biblical creation account in Genesis"
Answer
### The Creation of Man according to Genesis >»The divine spirit and the divine hand have preserved the account of creation in its purity through the ages. It is only the word of God that gives us an authentic report of the creation of our world.«
### Literal Days instead of Long Periods >»This account presents the depiction of man's creation in a few, simple, and direct explanations as follows: “And God the Lord made man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and thus man became a living soul.” This account explains every characteristic and every ability that man possesses, as well as all mental and life‑essential phenomena that are revealed through him.«
### Four Great Truths of the Creation Account >»The assumption that the events of the first week required thousands and tens of thousands of years strikes directly at the foundation of the fourth commandment. It portrays the Creator as commanding man to observe the week of literal days in remembrance of immeasurable, indefinite periods... The Bible acknowledges no long ages in which the earth slowly developed out of chaos. From each successive day of creation the holy account explains that it consisted of evening and morning, just like all the other days that followed.«
### The Sabbath as a Memorial of Creation >»Four great truths ... come to us from the earliest biblical narrative: The first of these truths is the creation of all things by the word of God's power; the second is the descent of all people from our common parents, Adam and Eve; the third is our connection with Adam as the head of the human race, through which all humanity was implicated in his sin and fall; and the fourth, that one who is descended from Adam but without his sin should, through his suffering, deliver us from the consequences of the fall.«
»Just as the Sabbath, the week also had its origin in creation and was preserved by the biblical narrative and transferred to us. God Himself measured the first week as a pattern for successive weeks until the end of time. Like every other, it consisted of seven literal days. Six days were used for the work of creation; on the seventh God rested, blessed that day, and set it apart as a day of rest for humanity.«

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.
