Mrs. White reportedly identified Melchizedek as the Holy
Spirit, according to the memory of one man. There is no support in her writings
for this teaching, and the memory statement is offset by denials of others who
were present when Ellen G. White is supposed to have made this statement. She
did not identify Melchizedek. See Ellen G. White statement in the Seventh-day
Adventist Bible Commentary, vol. 1, p. 1093, in which she says Melchizedek
was not Christ.
Thought for the Day
Jesus came in poverty and humiliation, that He might be our example as well as our Redeemer. If He had appeared with kingly pomp, how could He have taught humility? how could He have presented such cutting truths as in the Sermon on the Mount? Where would have been the hope of the lowly in life had Jesus come to dwell as a king among men? Desire of Ages, p. 138.
