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
Christ became one flesh with us, in order that we might become one spirit with Him. It is by virtue of this union that we are to come forth from the grave,--not merely as a manifestation of the power of Christ, but because, through faith, His life has become ours. Those who see Christ in His true character, and receive Him into the heart, have everlasting life. It is through the Spirit that Christ dwells in us; and the Spirit of God, received into the heart by faith, is the beginning of the life eternal. Desire of Ages, p. 388
