What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "What did Ellen White write about the origin of the five books of Moses?"
Answer
Ellen White affirmed that Moses wrote the first books of the Bible under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He wrote the book of Genesis during his time in the solitude of the desert, as he reflected on the history of his ancestors and God's promises.
The further reports, laws, and the covenant between God and Israel were recorded by Moses during the wilderness wanderings in a book, often receiving instructions directly “from the mouth of God.” Thus Moses' work marked the beginning of the written revelation of God to humanity.
Moses as the Writer of Genesis in the Desert
»Here, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he wrote the book of Genesis. The long years he spent in the solitude of the desert were rich in blessing, not only for Moses and his people, but for the world in all subsequent ages.«
The Recording of the Laws and History
»Moses had written all the laws and judgments that God gave him into a book, and all his instructions that he gave them on the way, as well as all the miracles he performed for them, and faithfully recorded all the murmuring of the children of Israel. ... He also read to them the promises of God, should they be obedient, and the curses that would come upon them if they were disobedient.«
Beginning of the Written Revelation
»During the first two thousand five hundred years of human history there was no written revelation. ... The preparation of the written word began in the time of Moses. Inspired revelations were then embodied in an inspired book. This work continued over the long period of six hundred years, from Moses, the historian of creation and law, to John.«
Direct Instructions of God on the Mountain
»Moses wrote these judgments and statutes from the mouth of God while he was with Him on the mountain. If God's people had followed the principles of the Ten Commandments, it would not have been necessary to give Moses the specific instructions that he wrote in a book regarding their duty to God and to one another.«
Divine Philosophy of Sacred History
»The Lord calls all to study the divine philosophy of sacred history, which was written by Moses under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. ... The believing, consecrated person will become a learner of God's thoughts and purposes from the beginning to the end of earthly history.«
