What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "What did Ellen White identify as present truth in light of worldwide events?"
Answer
In light of worldwide events and impending crises, Ellen White identified present truth as the third angel's message and the solemn warning of Christ's soon coming, anchored in the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation with Jesus uplifted at the center. Amid political upheavals, industrial shifts, and strife among nations, this life-and-death message is designed to test the world and call people to obedience to God's law. Rather than waiting for world events to unfold, God's workers are charged to advance proactively, presenting the clear-cut truth in its simplicity to prepare souls to stand in the coming crisis.
World Upheavals and the Third Angel's Message
»Political upheavals would come, and changes in the industrial world, and great religious awakenings, that would prepare minds to listen to the third angel's message. “Yes, there will be changes,” she assured them, “but nothing for you to wait for. Your work is to go forward, presenting the truth in its simplicity, holding up the light of truth before the people.” Then she told them how the matter had been presented to her in vision. Sometimes the multitudes in our world, to whom is sent the warning message from the word of God that Christ is soon coming, were presented to her as enveloped in mists and clouds and dense darkness...«
Present Truth and Prophecy in the Last Days
»Let nothing lessen the force of the truth for this time. The present truth is to be our burden. The third angel's message must do its work of separating from the churches a people who will take their stand on the platform of eternal truth. Our message is a life-and-death message, and we must let it appear as it is, the great power of God. ... Let Daniel speak, let the Revelation speak, and tell what is truth. But whatever phase of the subject is presented, uplift Jesus as the center of all hope, “the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright and morning Star.”«
Facing Global Strife and the Need for Sacred Truth
»Mrs. White solemnly charged the brethren who had come to the meeting as representatives of the cause of present truth from every part of Europe, from Asia, Africa, South America, Australasia, and the islands of the sea, to prepare their hearts for terrible scenes of strife and oppression beyond anything they had conceived of, soon to be witnessed among the nations of earth. “Very soon,” she declared, “the strife and oppression of foreign nations will break forth with an intensity that you do not now anticipate. ... What we need is the truth. Nothing can take the place of this,—the sacred, solemn truth that is to enable us to stand the test of trial, even as Christ endured.”«
Warning the Nations by the Truth for the Last Days
»As the preaching of Noah warned, tested, and proved the inhabitants of the world before the flood of waters destroyed them from off the face of the earth, so the truth of God for these last days is doing a similar work of warning, testing, and proving the world. ... Men are now greatly needed who can translate and prepare our publications in other languages, so that the message of warning may go to all nations and test them by the light of the truth, that men and women, as they see the light, may turn from transgression to obedience of the law of God.«
