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
As the people looked upon [Jesus], they saw a face where divine compassion was blended with conscious power. Every glance of the eye, every feature of the countenance, was marked with humility, and expressive of unutterable love. He seemed to be surrounded by an atmosphere of spiritual influence. While His manners were gentle and unassuming, He impressed men with a sense of power that was hidden, yet could not be wholly concealed. Desire of Ages, pp. 137, 138.
