What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "When does the flight to the mountains occur according to the end‑time prophecy?"
Answer
The flight to the mountains occurs according to the end‑time prophecy when the nation issues a decree that enforces the papal Sabbath (Sunday). This event serves as a warning signal, comparable to the siege of Jerusalem by the Roman armies for the early Christians. First the major cities are to be left, and later the smaller towns, in order to seek refuge in isolated mountain regions.
The Sunday Law as a Signal to Flee
»Just as the siege of Jerusalem by the Roman armies was the signal to flee for the Judean Christians, so the takeover of power by our nation through the decree enforcing the papal Sabbath will be a warning for us. It will then be time to leave the large cities, preparing for the departure from the smaller towns to a withdrawn home in remote mountain locations.«
Flight When Government Protection Is Withdrawn
»If the decree issued by the various rulers of Christendom against the obedient removes government protection and leaves them to those who wish their destruction, the people of God will flee from the cities and villages and gather in groups to live in the most desolate and isolated places. Many will find refuge in the fortresses of the mountains.«
Preparation for the Coming Crisis
»The time is not far off when we, like the early disciples, will be forced to seek refuge in desolate and isolated places. Just as the siege of Jerusalem by the Roman armies was the signal to flee for the Judean Christians, so the takeover by our nation in the decree enforcing the papal Sabbath will be a warning for us. It will then be time to leave the large cities.«
The Historical Model of Flight
»But if you see that Jerusalem is being besieged by armies, then recognize that its destruction is near. Then those who are in Judea should flee to the mountains; and those who are in its midst should go out. ... The Christians obeyed the warning, and no Christian perished at the fall of the city.«
