Was schreibt Ellen White über...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Wie und warum kommunizierte Gott durch die Propheten und durch Jesus mit uns?"
Antwort
Die bereitgestellten Dokumente erklären, dass Gott nach dem Sündenfall die Kommunikation mit den Menschen wiederherstellte, um ihnen Seinen Willen, die Wahrheit und die Errettung offenzulegen. Die Hauptmethode war die Prophetie, bei der Gott durch Visionen, Träume und den Heiligen Geist an auserwählte Diener sprach, die dann Seine Botschaften an die Menschen weitergaben. Jesus kam, um Gott direkt als „Immanuel“ – Gott mit uns – zu offenbaren und die vollkommene Liebe und den Willen Gottes zu verkünden.
Die Rolle der Propheten als Gottes Kommunikationskanal
»Heilige Menschen Gottes sprachen, wie sie vom Heiligen Geist bewegt wurden.“ During the first twenty-five hundred years of human history, there was no written revelation. Those who had been taught of God, communicated their knowledge to others, and it was handed down from father to son, through successive generations. The preparation of the written word began in the time of Moses. Inspired revelations were then embodied in an inspired book. This work continued during the long period of sixteen hundred years—from Moses, the historian of creation and the law, to John, the recorder of the most sublime truths of the gospel.«
Vielfalt der göttlichen Kommunikationsmethoden
»By dreams, by Urim, or by prophets.... These were God’s own appointed mediums of communication. Of these several means of communication employed by the Lord, the most common and widely used was that of the prophet. To Israel, God Himself declared His intention in simple language: „If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make Myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.“«
Prophetie als direkter Umgang mit Gott
»The essence of prophetism is „immediate intercourse with God.“ The prophet is consequently one who is lifted up by the Spirit of God into communion with Him, so that he is enabled to interpret the divine will and to act as a medium between God and man. He is a channel of communication, and not the source thereof. He is a speaker, or spokesman, for God. His message is not his own, but comes from a higher source. He is a seer, seeing things outside the domain of natural sight; a hearer, who hears things beyond the range of the natural human ear. He is a chosen messenger, who communicates the revelation he has received from God. God’s declaration is specific: „I the Lord will make Myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.“«
Die Botschaft stammt von Gott, nicht vom Propheten
»God has been pleased to communicate His truth to the world by human agencies, and He Himself, by His Holy Spirit, qualified men and enabled them to do this work. He guided the mind in the selection of what to speak and what to write. The treasure was intrusted to earthen vessels, yet it is, none the less, from Heaven. The testimony is conveyed through the imperfect expression of human language, yet it is the testimony of God; and the obedient, believing child of God beholds in it the glory of a divine power, full of grace and truth.«
Die Verheißung der prophetischen Offenbarung
»Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make Myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.“ By this means supernatural knowledge was communicated to Balaam. Thus He says: „Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: he hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the Most High, which saw the vision of the almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open.“«
