What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "What does the fig plaster consist of in 2 Kings 20?"
Answer
The plaster used to heal King Hezekiah consisted of a lump of figs that was placed on the afflicted part of the body. Although God healed the king through a miracle, the prophet Isaiah explicitly instructed the use of this simple natural remedy. The use of figs was not contrary to faith, but was done in accordance with God's providence and the means He provided.
Divine instruction for the use of figs
»Although a word from God or a touch of the divine finger could have healed Hezekiah instantly, specific instructions were given to take a fig and place it on the affected spot, after which Hezekiah was revived.«
Simple remedies as part of God's plan
»By ordering that a lump of figs be placed on the afflicted spot, Isaiah conveyed to the king the message of God's mercy and protective care.«

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.
