   • Roh Nubuat Itu Tulisan Ellen White. Pede A...   INTRODUCTION In this video presented by Rev. Jayson Hasian Pardede, the theme raised is the importance of understanding the concept of the "spirit of prophecy," which is often associated with Ellen White's writings. Rev. Jayson emphasizes that this understanding has not been fully accepted by many, including within the context of the Adventist Church. Through this discussion, it is important to explain what is meant by the spirit of prophecy and how Ellen White's writings relate to this concept. DEFINITION OF THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY According to Rev. Jayson, the spirit of prophecy refers to the testimony of Jesus, which is part of divine guidance for humanity. Revelation 19:10 emphasizes that "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." This indicates that the spirit of prophecy is not limited to one individual or specific writings, but is a gift from God that can be expressed through many prophets throughout history. ELLEN WHITE'S ROLE IN THE SDA CHURCH Ellen White is recognized by the Adventist Church as one of the prophets who provided guidance and teaching through her writings. Rev. Jayson explained that while her writings are considered part of the spirit of prophecy, it is important not to imply that she is the sole source of the spirit of prophecy. Many other prophets also spoke on behalf of God and provided guidance to His people. CHALLENGES OF UNDERSTANDING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CHURCH One of the challenges facing the Adventist Church is the misunderstanding that often arises among church members and the wider community. Rev. Jayson highlighted that people often assume that attributing the spirit of prophecy solely to Ellen White can create a negative stigma against the church's teachings. This is further exacerbated by external criticism that calls the church's teachings heretical. CONCLUSION ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY Rev. Jayson emphasized that a correct understanding of the spirit of prophecy is crucial to strengthening the faith of the congregation. Without revelation, the congregation will become disoriented and confused. Therefore, it is important to continue exploring and understanding Ellen White's writings and connecting them with the Bible for greater guidance. Through this understanding, people can better connect with divine guidance and live according to God's will.
