Ellen Chat Conversation

Ellen White described the throne of God in her writings, particularly in connection with the final judgment. She wrote of seeing "a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away" (SH 118.2). This vision depicts the throne as the seat of divine authority where Christ, invested with supreme majesty and power as King of kings, pronounces sentence and executes justice. In her personal reflections, Ellen White used the imagery of the great white throne to describe moments of deep spiritual introspection. During her bereavement, she wrote: "I have, as it were, been brought before the great white throne, and have seen my life as it will there appear" (2SM 267). This same language appears in another account where she stated, "In my recent bereavement, I have had a near view of eternity. I have, as it were, been brought before the great white throne, and have seen my life as it will there appear" (3SM 148.1). These passages reveal how she understood the throne as the place where lives are examined in the light of God's perfect standard. The throne is also associated with the books of record and final judgment. Ellen White described the scene: "I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books" (SH 118.2). This portrayal emphasizes both the solemnity of divine judgment and the comprehensive nature of God's record-keeping. While the provided documents don't contain extensive physical descriptions of the throne's appearance, they consistently present it as the central seat of divine authority, justice, and final judgment—a place of awesome majesty where all humanity will ultimately stand before their Creator. --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:** • What did Ellen White see in her visions of the heavenly sanctuary and its furnishings? • How did Ellen White describe the coronation of Christ in heaven? • What did Ellen White teach about the judgment and the books of record? --- 📚 **thousands of passages found** containing these search terms — [Explore in Full-Text Search](/advanced-search?q=find+me+description+of+the+throne+of+God+from+Ellen+white+writings.)

Ellen White provided a vivid description of Ezekiel's vision in Ezekiel 1, drawing from the prophet's encounter with God's glory by the river Chebar. She wrote that "a whirlwind seemed to come from the north, 'a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber'" (5T 751.3). The vision included mysterious wheels and living creatures working in perfect harmony. Ellen White described how "a number of wheels of strange appearance, intersecting one another, were moved by four living creatures" (5T 751.3). She noted that "there were wheels within wheels in an arrangement so complicated that at first sight they appeared to Ezekiel to be all in confusion. But when they moved, it was with beautiful exactness and in perfect harmony" (5T 751.3). The living creatures themselves had a remarkable appearance. She explained that "as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning" (5T 751.3). Additionally, "there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings" (5T 751.3). Above this magnificent scene was the throne of God itself. Ellen White described how "high above all these was 'the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it'" (5T 751.3). She emphasized that "above all, upon the glorious sapphire throne, was the Eternal One; while round about the throne was the encircling rainbow, emblem of grace and love" (5T 751.3). The vision's impact on Ezekiel was profound. Ellen White noted that he was overpowered by the terrible glory of the sceneand "fell upon his face, when a voice bade him arise and hear the word of the Lord" (5T 751.3). She explained that heavenly beings were directing this cosmic display, with everything moving in perfect coordination under divine control. --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:** • What spiritual lessons did Ellen White draw from the wheels within wheels in Ezekiel's vision? • How did Ellen White connect Ezekiel's vision to God's control over earthly events? • What other prophetic visions did Ellen White describe in detail from Scripture?
