Ellen Chat Conversation

Ellen White’s writings provide a profound look at the significance of Revelation 18:1, identifying it as a pivotal moment in the final warning to the world. This scripture describes a powerful angel descending from heaven, an event that signifies a deepening of the messages previously given to humanity. In her analysis, Ellen White explained that "Revelation 18 points to the time when, as the result of rejecting the threefold warning of Revelation 14:6-12, the church will have fully reached the condition foretold by the second angel" (GC88 390.2). This specific prophecy marks a period where the "people of God, still in Babylon, will be called upon to separate from her communion" (GC88 390.2). The angel of Revelation 18:1 is described as "another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory" (2SM 67). This message is essentially a reinforcement and expansion of the second angel's message first heard in 1844. Ellen White noted that this scripture "points forward to a time when the announcement of the fall of Babylon, as made by the second angel of Revelation 14 (verse 8), is to be repeated" (LDE 199.2). However, this repetition comes with "additional mention of the corruptions which have been entering the various organizations that constitute Babylon, since that message was first given" (LDE 199.2). When these announcements unite with the third angel’s message, they "constitute the final warning to be given to the inhabitants of the earth" (LDE 199.2). For practical application, this prophecy serves as both a warning and a source of hope. Ellen White emphasized that this "message, the last ever given to the world, will accomplish its work" (HF 241.5). She observed that while the world may seem to give itself over to evil, "the light of truth will shine upon all whose hearts are open to receive it" (HF 241.5). Furthermore, she used this "terrible picture" of Babylon's fall to caution believers about the dangers of worldly alliances, stating it shows "how dangerous it is to link up with secret societies or to join themselves in any way with those who do not keep God's commandments" (14MR 152.2). Ultimately, the glory that lightens the earth in Revelation 18:1 represents the final, clear call of mercy. It ensures that "all the children of the Lord, that remain in Babylon, will heed the call, 'Come out of her, my people'" (GC88 390.2). --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:** • What did Ellen White say about the "loud cry" of the third angel? • How does Ellen White define "Babylon" in the context of the last days? • What is the relationship between the three angels' messages of Revelation 14 and the message of Revelation 18? --- 📚 **73 passages found** containing these search terms — [Explore in Full-Text Search](/advanced-search?q=%22Revelation+18)

# The Glory Moses Saw The provided documents don't contain specific passages describing the glory that Moses saw on Mount Sinai or in his encounters with God. However, Ellen White's writings throughout these excerpts reveal her understanding of God's glory as a multifaceted concept that encompasses His character, presence, and the transformation He brings to His people. Ellen White understood glory as fundamentally connected to Christ and His character. She noted that the mystery of the gospel is "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Ed 309.1), suggesting that God's glory is not merely an external radiance but something that dwells within believers and transforms them. This glory reflects the very image of the Redeemer, as she explained that God's faithful ones "will reflect the image of their Redeemer" with "glory...pictured on their countenances" (10MR 158.4). The glory of God is also intimately connected to His character attributes. Ellen White referenced Jeremiah's counsel that those who glory should "glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the Lord which exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth" (WM 282.3). This suggests that the glory Moses witnessed would have revealed God's character of love, justice, and righteousness. In the resurrection account, Ellen White described how "the earth trembles and heaves" as angels approach Christ's tomb, with soldiers falling "prostrate upon the earth" before this manifestation of divine glory (6Red 10.2). This demonstrates that God's glory carries overwhelming power and majesty that causes even hardened soldiers to fall in awe. While these documents don't provide Ellen White's specific commentary on Moses's experience of God's glory, they reveal her consistent teaching that God's glory encompasses His character, His transforming presence, and the radiant reflection of His image in His people. --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:** • What did Ellen White say about the character of God and how it is revealed? • How did Ellen White describe the transformation that occurs when people behold God's glory? • What did Ellen White write about Moses's other encounters with God on Mount Sinai? --- 📚 **thousands of passages found** containing these search terms — [Explore in Full-Text Search](/advanced-search?q=%22glory)
