A plan for parallel reading of the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy can be found in official Adventist resources or created independently.<\/strong> The most reliable approach is to use the Bible as the foundation, and Ellen White\u2019s books as a spiritual and practical commentary that helps reveal more deeply the biblical story, teachings, and God\u2019s leading.<\/em><\/p>\n

Many people are looking not simply for a list of chapters, but for an orderly way to read Holy Scripture together with the books of the Spirit of Prophecy. This is a good and helpful goal, because the Adventist understanding always places the Bible first, and the writings of Ellen White as the \u201clesser light\u201d that leads to the \u201cgreater light,\u201d that is, to God\u2019s Word. That is why parallel reading can become a blessing for personal spiritual life, family worship, or a small group.<\/p>\n

Where to begin looking for a plan<\/h2>\n

It is best to start with the official resource EGW Writings<\/a>. This is the main source of Ellen White\u2019s texts in many languages. Although there is not always a ready-made daily plan in the format you need, this resource makes it easy to select books for parallel reading with Bible chapters. It is especially helpful that it includes search, topical references, and convenient navigation.<\/p>\n

The Bible remains the center of all reading:<\/p>\n

\u201cAll Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness\u201d 2 Tim. 3:16<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is also important to remember the biblical principle regarding the spiritual gift of prophecy in the church:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers\u201d Eph 4:11<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In light of this, Adventists value the writings of Ellen White, but test everything by the Bible.<\/p>\n

What reading order is the most natural<\/h2>\n

If you have not found a ready-made daily plan, you can begin with a very natural pattern that many believers use:<\/p>\n

1. Genesis\u20132 Kings together with the book Patriarchs and Prophets.
\n2. 1 Kings\u2013Esther, as well as large portions of the prophetic books, together with Prophets and Kings.
\n3. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John together with the book The Desire of Ages.
\n4. Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles together with the book The Acts of the Apostles.
\n5. Daniel, Matthew 24, 2 Thessalonians, and Revelation together with The Great Controversy.<\/p>\n

This approach helps you see how the biblical text and spiritual commentary complement one another. For example, when you read the story of Christ, it is very appropriate to keep the Gospel foundation before you:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father\u201d John 1:14<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And when reading about the closing events of the world\u2019s history, it is helpful to turn to prophecy:<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy\u201d Rev 19:10<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where else ready-made plans can be found<\/h2>\n

In addition to EGW Writings, it is worth checking the resources of local Adventist congregations, unions, conferences, and personal ministries departments. Often this is where PDF plans for 30 days, 90 days, or a year are published. Sometimes such materials are shared through church Telegram channels, Facebook groups, or printed calendars for morning readings.<\/p>\n

If you are unable to find a ready-made plan, this is not an obstacle. You can easily create your own. For this, it is enough to take:<\/p>\n

\u2022 2\u20133 chapters of the Bible per day;
\n\u2022 5\u201310 pages from the corresponding book by Ellen White;
\n\u2022 10\u201315 minutes for prayer and reflection.<\/p>\n

The Bible calls us to seek the Lord continually:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night\u201d Josh 1:8<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And also:<\/p>\n

\u201cYour word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path\u201d Ps. 119:105<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How to relate properly to the Spirit of Prophecy<\/h2>\n

In the matter of parallel reading, spiritual balance is very important. Ellen White does not replace the Bible and never claimed to do so. In her writings, she repeatedly emphasized that Holy Scripture is the highest authority for faith and practice. Her books help reveal moral lessons, historical context, the conflict between Christ and Satan, as well as the practical application of biblical truth.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the proper order is this: first read the Bible passage, then the corresponding chapter from the Spirit of Prophecy, and after that pray for understanding and obedience. The apostle Paul wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cTest all things; hold fast what is good\u201d 1 Thess 5:21<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This principle is especially helpful in all spiritual reading.<\/p>\n

A simple example of a practical plan<\/h2>\n

If you want to begin today, here is a simple option:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Monday\u2013Friday: 2 Bible chapters + 1 passage from the corresponding book by Ellen White.
\n\u2022 Sabbath: review, prayer notes, discussion with the family.
\n\u2022 Sunday: catch up on what was missed or do a weekly review.<\/p>\n

For example, to begin with the Gospels:
\n\u2022 Matthew 1\u20132 + the opening chapters of The Desire of Ages;
\n\u2022 Matthew 3\u20134 + the next chapter;
\n\u2022 then continue sequentially.<\/p>\n

For prophecy:
\n\u2022 Daniel 1 + corresponding material from Prophets and Kings or The Great Controversy;
\n\u2022 Daniel 2 + the following passage;
\n\u2022 later \u2014 Revelation with parallel chapters.<\/p>\n

This approach does not overload, but it creates a good spiritual rhythm.<\/p>\n

Conclusion.<\/h2>\n

If you are asking where to find a Bible reading plan parallel with the Spirit of Prophecy, the best answer is this: start with the official EGW Writings resource, check materials from your local Seventh-day Adventist church, and if needed, make a simple plan yourself. The most important thing is not the perfect format, but faithfulness in daily reading, prayer, and obedience to God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n

You can put this into practice today: choose one Bible book, one corresponding Ellen White book, set a regular reading time, and keep brief notes about what God is saying to you through Scripture. Such reading will not only enrich your knowledge, but also help you walk more deeply with Christ each day.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"faq_question":"\u0414\u0435 \u0437\u043d\u0430\u0439\u0442\u0438 \u043f\u043b\u0430\u043d \u0447\u0438\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0411\u0456\u0431\u043b\u0456\u0457 \u043f\u0430\u0440\u0430\u043b\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e \u0437 \u0414\u0443\u0445\u043e\u043c \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0446\u0442\u0432\u0430?","bible_refs":"2 Timothy 3:16, Ephesians 4:11, John 1:14, Revelation 19:10, Joshua 1:8, Psalm 119:105, 1 Thessalonians 5:21","answer_lang":"uk","source_question":"\u043a\u044a\u0434\u0435 \u043c\u043e\u0433\u0430 \u0434\u0430 \u043d\u0430\u043c\u0435\u0440\u044f \u043f\u043b\u0430\u043d \u0437\u0430 \u0447\u0435\u0442\u0435\u043d\u0435 \u043d\u0430 \u0411\u0438\u0431\u043b\u0438\u044f\u0442\u0430 \u043f\u0430\u0440\u0430\u043b\u0435\u043b\u043d\u043e \u0441 \u0414\u0443\u0445\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e\u0442\u043e"},"answer_topic":[148],"class_list":["post-9505","answers","type-answers","status-publish","hentry","answer_topic-ellen-white"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/answers\/9505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/answers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/answers"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"answer_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/answer_topic?post=9505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
