Inspired Prediction
In her voluminous material related to the coming of Jesus, E. G. White penned significant details related to the sequence of end-time events.[1] She opened up remarkable insights into understanding prophetic truths, especially in Daniel and Revelation. Much space was given to warnings related to any delay in preparation for that “great day.” Helpful outlines in what to expect and how to deal with last day trials were provided in such compilations as Last Day Events, Maranatha and The Great Controversy. In the last volume of the Conflict of the Ages series, Prophets and Kings, she made a very unusual statement. That book was first published in 1916. These words were penned shortly after 1910 as near as can be ascertained. This is what she said: “The trying experiences that came to God’s people in the days of Esther were not peculiar to that age alone. The revelator, looking down the ages to the close of time, has declared, ‘The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.’ Revelation 12:17. Some who today are living on the earth will see these words fulfilled. The same spirit that in ages past led men to persecute the true church, will in the future lead to the pursuance of a similar course toward those who maintain their loyalty to God. Even now preparations are being made for this last great conflict.”[1] This is not a major Biblical sign, nor does Ellen White make a great issue of this. It was penned only once not long before she passed away. Approximately 93 years has gone by since then. The delay cannot be much longer. Reference: 1. White, Ellen G.; Sequence of EndTime Events...
