Ellen Chat Conversation

Ellen White describes a vast universe populated by unfallen beings who inhabit other worlds. These inhabitants are described as noble, majestic, and lovely, bearing a striking resemblance to Jesus and reflecting a deep sense of holy joy and freedom (EW 39.3). Unlike the inhabitants of Earth, these beings have remained in strict obedience to God's commandments and have not experienced the fall into sin. In her visions, she was shown specific details of these locations, including a world characterized by having seven moons (ExV 22.2). She observed that these worlds serve as a testing ground for loyalty to God, similar to Eden, featuring trees of which the inhabitants are forbidden to eat (Hvn 88.3).

These unfallen worlds, along with the heavenly angels, are not merely distant observers but are intensely interested witnesses to the plan of salvation and the struggle against evil taking place on Earth (LDE 31.1). The relationship between Earth and these other worlds is central to the theme of the great controversy. Earth is described as a "lesson book" for the entire universe, where the results of rebellion are demonstrated (LDE 8.1). While Satan hoped to lead these other created worlds into his rebellion against God's government, they remained loyal (TA 36.3).

Furthermore, she notes that translated individuals, such as Enoch, visit these worlds, though their permanent home remains the heavenly city (EW 39.3). The privilege of visiting these diverse worlds and viewing the expansive handiwork of God is presented as a future reward for the faithful (ExV 22.2). This suggests that the universe is far more populated and active than human observation currently reveals, with a multitude of intelligences watching the closing scenes of Earth's history with inexpressible interest (LDE 8.1).
