BIBLE COMMENTARY ELLEN WHITE ESTATE PDFI will also attach at PDF of the material I mentioned in the letter: Actually, he had listed this characteristic in his first article, but then he seemed to ignore it in his conclusion.Ī couple of years ago I had a phone call from someone interested in the supposed identity of Melchizedek as the Holy Spirit. In the third article he did not make this assertion, but observed that the Bible says Melchizedek was a man. In the first two he asserted that Melchizedek was the Holy Spirit. I have attached a PDF file giving you all three. Elder Haskell published three short articles about Melchizedek in the “Bible Training School” paper that he published in South Lancaster, Massachusetts. “THE HOLY SPIRIT IS CHRIST’S REPRESENTATIVE, but divested of the personality of humanity and independent thereof.” – The Desire of Ages, p. Melchizedek was NOT Christ, but he was the VOICE of God in the world, the REPRESENTATIVE of the Father. “It was Christ who spoke through Melchizedek, the priest of the most high God. It is not unreasonable (therefore) to conclude that the SAME SPIRIT could appear to Abraham in the person of the King of Salem. At the baptism of Christ the Holy Spirit appeared as a dove on the day of Pentecost, as Cloven tongues of fire. Melchisedec was not Christ, but the voice of God in the world, the representative of the Father.‘ John 14:17,26 and 16:13-15, tell us who represents the Father in the earth. 20, 1890, printed in the R & H of 2-18-1890, contains the following statement: ‘ It was Christ that spoke through Melchisedec, the priest of the Most High God. “…A morning talk, given at Battle Creek by Mrs. Thus we have TWO witnesses of the truthfulness of Sister White’s statement regarding (the person) Melchisedec.” Signed – G.B. Every specification was met by the Holy Spirit, A HIGH PRIEST FOREVER, but cannot be met by any angel or human being.Įlder Haskell published this matter as reported above in his paper at South Lancaster, Mass.

Then in Romans 8:26, “ likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (by man). We found that in Hebrews 9:14 that statement, “The Eternal Spirit.” That would meet, also, “Without beginning of days, nor end of life.” “ Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life but made like unto the Son of God abideth a high priest continually.” We found that description of Melchisedec in Hebrews 7:3 was fully met by the Holy Spirit. Haskell said to me, “Elder Starr, when the Spirit of Prophecy speaks so plainly as that about a matter, it can be proved by the Bible, so let’s look it up.” He represented Christ to the people of that generation.”Įlder Colcord offered no argument to refute her position, and we all seemed perfectly satisfied with the statement in fact, I had never heard an explanation that was satisfactory before.Īfter the meeting, Elder S.N. He was the Holy Spirit of God assuming human form. She replied, “ I will tell you who Melchisedec was. He then asked, “Who then was Melchisedec?” “Because they are not correct.” She answered. “As Elder Colcord was reading, Sister White interrupted him, saying: “Elder Colcord, I would not publish these articles, if I were you.” “Why not?” He inquired.
