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
The bitterness of grief and humiliation is better than the indulgences of sin. Through affliction God reveals to us the plague spots in our characters, that by His grace we may overcome our faults. Unknown chapters in regard to ourselves are opened to us, and the test comes, whether we will accept the reproof and the counsel of God. When brought into trial, we are not to fret and complain. We should not rebel, or worry ourselves out of the hand of Christ. We are to humble the soul before God. Desire of Ages, p. 301
