What does EGW write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Where in the Bible does it say that God's people at the end of time must not eat meat anymore?"
Answer
God is gradually leading His people back to His original plan, which provides for a meat‑free diet. For those who are awaiting the Lord’s second coming, meat consumption will eventually cease, as it is necessary to be able to stand before Him as a sanctified people. In view of increasing diseases and the destruction of the earth, it will soon no longer be safe to consume animal products.
God’s Original Plan and the End Times
»Again and again I was shown that God is leading His people back to His original plan, namely not to live on the flesh of dead animals. He wants us to teach humanity a better way.«
Preparation for the Lord’s Coming
»Among those who are waiting for the Lord’s coming, the eating of meat will eventually be abolished; meat will cease to be a part of their diet. We should always keep this goal in mind and strive continually to work toward it.«
Increasing Diseases and Safety
»The light that has been given to me is that it will not be long before we must abandon all animal food. Even milk will have to be omitted. Diseases are rapidly increasing. ... The habits and practices of people have brought the earth to such a condition that another food, other than animal food, must replace it for the human family.«
Sanctification of Character through Abstinence
»God requires that appetite be cleansed and self‑denial be practiced regarding those things that are not good. This is a work that must be done before His people can stand before Him as a perfect people.«
Protection through Obedience
»In a short time it will no longer be safe to use anything that comes from the animal creation. Those who take God at His word and obey His commandments with all their heart will be blessed. He will be their protective shield.«
The Weakening of the Spiritual Nature
»It was made clear to me that God’s people should take a firm stand against eating meat. ... The use of meat strengthens the animal nature and weakens the spiritual nature.«
