What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "What do we know about the early life of King Manasseh?"
Answer
Based on the provided documents, the following can be inferred about the early life of King Manasseh. He became king at the age of twelve, but due to a lack of religious instruction from his parents and other influences, he chose idolatry over the fear of God. These early experiences had a lasting impact and led to his later sinful life.
Early Life of King Manasseh
»He was only twelve years old when he became king, yet he would have chosen idolatry if he had not been taught in the fear of God.«
The Story of Daniel the Prophet SDP 16.1 1236.73
»Hezekiah and his wife Hephzibah failed to guide the young Manasseh in the way of truth. When he was twelve years old, he stood at the temple in Jerusalem, and his future work opened before him, after his mother Mary had taught him that heartfelt service was to God.«
The Story of Daniel the Prophet SDP 16.1 1236.73
These quotes show that Manasseh's early life was marked by a lack of spiritual education, which ultimately led to his decision to embrace idolatry and thereby commit the sins of the kingdom of Judah.

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.
