What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Were all twelve apostles’ names written on each stone, or could it be that one apostle’s name was written on each stone? 2/25 Yes, both readings are grammatically possible, since Revelation 21:14 only says that “the twelve names” of the apostles were on the twelve foundation stones. The verse does not explicitly say how the names were distributed among the stones."
Answer
The provided documents say that the names of the twelve apostles are on the twelve foundation stones, but they do not clarify how the names are distributed. Therefore, they do not make it possible to determine whether each stone bore one name or all twelve names; nor do these quotations address the claim that both readings are grammatically possible.
The Names on the Foundation Stones
»On these twelve foundation stones are written the names of the twelve apostles … What joy it must have been for him when he saw his name engraved in heaven on one of the foundation stones of the city.«

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.
