Ellen Gould White
What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "What are the key statements of Ellen G. White concerning the third Elijah?"
Answer
Ellen G. White teaches that John the Baptist came in the power and spirit of Elijah to proclaim the first coming of Christ, and that this has an important symbolic significance for the end times. The believers of the last days are called to act like John and Elijah, to prepare the second coming of Jesus and the day of wrath. This movement is characterized by lifestyle reforms, abstinence, and a determined dedication to call people to repentance and to the holiness of God.
Messengers for the Second Coming in the Spirit of Elijah
»John came in the spirit and power of Elijah to proclaim the first coming of Jesus. I was directed to the last days and saw that John should represent those who would go out in the spirit and power of Elijah to proclaim the day of wrath and the second coming of Jesus.«
Preparation through Health Reform and Abstinence
»Those who are to prepare the way for the second coming of Christ are represented by the faithful Elijah, just as John came in the spirit of Elijah to prepare the way for Christ's first coming. The great theme of reform should be advanced. Temperance in all things must be linked with the message, to turn God's people away from their idolatry, gluttony, and extravagance in clothing and other matters.«
Steadfastness among the People
»John equipped himself through the deprivations and hardships of his withdrawn life to control all his physical and spiritual powers so that he could stand among the people as unmoved by surrounding circumstances as the rocks and mountains of the wilderness... He will go before God in the spirit and power of Elijah—to reconcile fathers and children and to bring the disobedient back to the wisdom of the righteous—and he will prepare a people for his Lord.«
Unshakable Faithfulness in the Face of Temptations
»John, who came in the spirit and power of Elijah to do a special work preparing the way for the Savior of the world, was marked by determination and moral strength. Satan could not divert him from his righteousness.«
