Based on Ellen White's writings, here are the signs of the true return of Christ: ## Biblical Signs Preceding Christ's Return **Celestial Signs:** "There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars" (GC 37.2). Ellen White specifically identifies these signs: "The sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken" (GC 304.1). She describes the first sign as "There was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood" (GC 304.1). **Spiritual Deceptions:** "There shall arise false christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect" (DA 631.1). Ellen White warns that "Even now false christs and false prophets are showing signs and wonders to seduce His disciples" (DA 631.1). ## The Manner of Christ's True Return **Visible and Universal:** Christ's true return will be unmistakable: "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be" (DA 631.1). Ellen White emphasizes that "This coming there is no possibility of counterfeiting. It will be universally known—witnessed by the whole world" (GC 625.2). **In the Clouds with Glory:** "They shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory" (SJ 175.7). The angels promised: "This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven" (GC 301.2). **With Heavenly Hosts:** "The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God" (GC 301.2). Christ will be "accompanied by all the hosts of heaven" and "He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect" (GC 321.3). **Every Eye Shall See:** "Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him" (GC 301.2). ## Warnings Against Deception Ellen White strongly warns against false claims about Christ's return: **Reject Secret or Localized Appearances:** "Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, He is in the desert; go not forth: behold, He is in the secret chambers; believe it not" (DA 631.1). She specifically identifies spiritualism as making such false claims: "from thousands of gatherings where men profess to hold communion with departed spirits is not the call now heard, 'Behold, He is in the secret chambers'? This is the very claim that spiritism puts forth" (DA 631.1). **Satan Cannot Counterfeit the Manner:** "Satan is not permitted to counterfeit the manner of Christ's advent" (GC 625.2). ## The Urgency of Preparation Ellen White emphasizes that "The signs that foretell the second coming of Christ are fast fulfilling" (9T 60.1) and warns: "There are in the world today many who close their eyes to the evidences that Christ has given to warn men of His coming" (AA 260.1). The true return of Christ will be a glorious, visible, universal event that cannot be counterfeited or mistaken—completely unlike the secret, localized appearances claimed by false prophets and spiritualistic movements.

Yes, Ellen White did write about Christ's feet not touching the earth at His second coming. Based on her writings, here's what she described: ## Christ Remains in the Clouds **The Saints Are Caught Up to Meet Him:** Ellen White consistently describes that at Christ's second coming, the saints are "caught up to meet their Lord in the air" rather than Christ descending to earth's surface. She wrote: "The living saints were changed in a moment, and were caught up with them into the cloudy chariot" (EW 35.1). **Christ Comes in the Clouds:** She describes Christ as coming "in the clouds of heaven" and remaining there while the saints are taken up to Him: "The living righteous are changed 'in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.' At the voice of God they were glorified; now they are made immortal, and with the risen saints are caught up to meet their Lord in the air" (GC 645.1). **The Cloudy Chariot:** In her visions, Ellen White saw Christ on a "cloudy chariot" that takes the saints upward: "The voice of the Son of God called forth the sleeping saints, clothed with glorious immortality. The living saints were changed in a moment and were caught up with them into the cloudy chariot. It looked all over glorious as it rolled upward" (EW 35.1). ## The Exception: After the Millennium However, Ellen White did describe one instance when Christ's feet will touch the earth - this occurs **after** the millennium, at what she calls His "third coming": **Christ Descends to Mount of Olives:** "Christ descends upon the Mount of Olives, whence, after His resurrection, He ascended, and where angels repeated the promise of His return" (GC 662.3). She quotes Zechariah 14:4: "And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives" (GC 662.3). **This Is After the Thousand Years:** This descent to earth occurs "At the close of the thousand years, Christ again returns to the earth" (GC 662.1) - this is when the New Jerusalem descends and the wicked are raised for final judgment. ## Summary At Christ's **second coming** (the rapture), His feet do not touch the earth - the saints are caught up to meet Him in the air. But at His **return after the millennium**, He does descend to the Mount of Olives where His feet will touch the earth as the New Jerusalem is established.

I'd be happy to help you with information about schools of law! However, I specialize in Ellen White document analysis and research. Are you perhaps looking for: - Ellen White's writings about **legal education** or the study of law? - Her counsel about **justice, law, and legal principles** from a Christian perspective? - Information about **God's law** and moral principles as discussed in her writings? - Her views on **civil law** and Christians' relationship to legal systems? If you're looking for general information about law schools or legal education outside of Ellen White's writings, I'd recommend consulting educational resources, law school websites, or speaking with academic advisors who specialize in legal education. Could you clarify what specific aspect of law or legal education you'd like me to search for in Ellen White's writings?
