End-time prophecy and Bible prophecy as a whole are God’s proof that God is real and that the Bible is true. Can you say what will happen one thousand years from now, on June 10th? No. God can. If God can, it means that God lives in the future. If God lives in the future, what does that mean? It means God stands outside of time itself, at the beginning of eternity, beyond the end of time, beyond the beginning of every ending.
It means that God is divine. End-time prophecy is amazing to study, and it is fascinating to see that events were prophesied down to the very day, thousands of years in advance. For example, Revelation 9 indicates that Islam, through the Ottoman Empire, would fall on August 11, 1840. Josiah Litch, writing in 1838, said that if his calculations were correct, the Ottoman Empire would fall on that exact date in 1840.
In a comment on Revelation 9, Litch predicted that the Ottoman Empire would lose its power in August 1840. When, on August 11, 1840, the Ottoman Empire accepted guarantees from the Great Powers, it was interpreted as a fulfillment of Bible prophecy and of Litch’s interpretation of it. Let us study five of the best Bible prophecies, part one.
1. End-Time Prophecy: 9/11
This is an amazing prophecy from the end-time prophet Ellen G. White, who wrote that the towers of New York would fall — a comment written in 1902, about one hundred years before the event. She also said the towers would fall as though made of pitch, since towers usually fall to one side. She further said that the fire engines would not be working. This is exactly what happened on 9/11. End-time prophecy videos give a clear explanation that we are living at the very end of history. The end will come as a surprise.
This connects to the study we made on the last five verses of the book of Daniel. We should also study this alongside the false prophet, the Sunday-keeping churches, the mark of the beast, and the seven last plagues — because God’s judgments will fall not only on atheists and the wicked world, but also upon the fallen Christian world, which refuses new light and is content holding beliefs that come from paganism, thereby mocking the Bible and insulting God Himself.
“On one occasion, when in New York City, I was in the night season called upon to behold buildings rising story after story toward heaven. These buildings were warranted to be fireproof, and they were erected to glorify the owners and builders. Higher and still higher these buildings rose, and in them the most costly material was used.”
“The scene that next passed before me was an alarm of fire. Men looked at the lofty and supposedly fire-proof buildings and said: ‘They are perfectly safe.’ But these buildings were consumed as if made of pitch. The fire engines could do nothing to stay the destruction. The firemen were unable to operate the engines.” — Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, pp. 12, 13, Ellen G. White, 1901.
“But I have no light in particular in regard to what is coming on New York, only that I know that one day the great buildings there will be thrown down by the turning and overturning of God’s power. From the light given me, I know that destruction is in the world. One word from the Lord, one touch of His mighty power, and these massive structures will fall. Scenes will take place the fearfulness of which we cannot imagine.” — Review and Herald, July 5, 1906, Ellen G. White, 1903.
“The time is right upon us when there will be sorrow in the world that no human balm can heal. Even before the last great destruction comes upon the world, the flattering monuments of man’s greatness will be crumbled in the dust. God’s retributive judgments will fall on those who, in the face of great light, have continued in sin. Costly buildings, supposed to be fire-proof, are erected. But as Sodom perished in the flames of God’s vengeance, so will these proud structures become ashes.” — Signs of the Times, Oct. 9, 1901, Ellen G. White.
2. End-Time Prophecy: San Francisco
The same end-time prophet, called by Jesus “the Testimony of Jesus” in Revelation 12:17, identifies one of the signs of the end-time church as having the Testimony of Jesus. End-time prophecy is fulfilled without private interpretation in the Christian world when we take the Bible alone and let it interpret itself.
Revelation 12:17 — And 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.
We read in Revelation 19:10 what the Testimony of Jesus is:
Revelation 19:10 — For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
This is one of the signs of the true end-time church — there is only one church that fulfills these points; all others, Jesus said, are fallen churches. End-time prophecy videos help us learn the truth about Bible prophecy, free from any private interpretation.
This true church also:
- Preaches the three angels’ messages
- Preaches the sanctuary doctrine
- Preaches the judgment hour message
- Keeps the commandments
- Keeps the Sabbath
- Has a true prophet
- Comes after 1798, the time of the end
“Not long hence these cities will suffer under the judgments of God. San Francisco and Oakland are becoming as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Lord will visit them in wrath.” — Evangelism, 403, 404; Ellen G. White, September 1, 1902 — Judgments on Oakland and San Francisco.
a) San Francisco earthquake, April 18, 1906 — 28,000 buildings destroyed by earthquake or fire in San Francisco alone, with destruction extending to surrounding cities as well.
b) October 17, 1989 earthquake — total damage figures not yet known at the time of writing (Early Writings, p. 15, Ellen G. White).
“While at Loma Linda, the second night after the dedication of the sanitarium, there passed before me a most wonderful representation. During a vision of the night, I stood on an eminence, from which I could see houses shaken like a reed in the wind. Buildings, great and small, were falling to the ground. Pleasure resorts, theaters, hotels, and the homes of the wealthy were shaken and shattered. Many lives were blotted out of existence, and the air was filled with the shrieks of the injured and the terrified.” — Review and Herald, May 24, 1906, par. 1, Ellen G. White.
“The destroying angels of God were at work. One touch, and buildings so thoroughly constructed that men regarded them as secure against every danger, quickly became heaps of rubbish. There was no assurance of safety in any place. I did not feel in any special peril, but the awfulness of the scenes that passed before me I cannot find words to describe. It seemed that the forbearance of God was exhausted, and that the judgment day had come.” — Review and Herald, May 24, 1906, par. 2.
“The angel that stood by my side then instructed me that but few have any conception of the wickedness existing in our world today, and especially the wickedness in the large cities. He declared that the Lord has appointed a time when He will visit transgressors in wrath for persistent disregard of His law.” — Review and Herald, May 24, 1906, par. 3, Ellen G. White.
“At about one o’clock I awoke, and was impressed to write out some things regarding the supreme rulership of God, and the sacredness of His law. When I met my secretary early in the morning, I told her that wonderful representations had been passing before me in the night season.”
“After breakfast, we received a message asking us to go to Los Angeles by the afternoon train; but I was unable to take any part in preparing for the journey. I was as one dazed by the awful scenes that had passed before me.” — Review and Herald, May 24, 1906, Ellen G. White.
3. End-Time Prophecy: The Third Woe
The first and second woes apply to Islam. We saw that the Ottoman Empire fell on August 11, 1840, according to end-time prophecy, Revelation chapter 9, and God’s sending of Josiah Litch to explain the matter. If the first woe is Islam, then the remaining woes are also tied to Islam.
End-time prophecy is being fulfilled all around us. It says that the nations grew angry, meaning that Islam will again strike in terror on a grander scale, and the resulting devastation will become so great that the nations of the Western world will become angry. End-time prophecy points us to the terrible events still to come on earth.
Revelation 11:14, 18 — The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe comes quickly… And the nations were angry, and Your wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged.
This remains to be fulfilled — one of the worst events still to arrive on earth: the third woe. Along with that, the third world war will soon follow, as Ellen G. White said she saw one great final combat. End-time prophecy videos explain clearly the final events of our world.
4. End-Time Prophecy: The Cup of Iniquity Is Filling
The cup of iniquity is almost full, and people around the world will be caught by surprise to see such incredible woes and desolations fall upon the earth. For those who have studied end-time prophecy, it will be no surprise, as it is written in the Bible. How can you escape the coming judgments? By spending time in the Bible and in prayer, and by asking God to give you His righteousness.
Every nation and every individual has a limit — only God knows that limit — and once it is passed, His ministry of wrath begins. No one else knows where that limit lies. When you fill a glass, you can see when it overflows. This world is overfilled, yet we do not know when it will pass the limit of transgression, pride, selfishness, offense, apathy, and an unloving, uncaring spirit.
The judgments of God, covered in end-time prophecy videos, will become more and more severe as a means of waking people up to their danger. How many will wake up? How many will realize they are in danger of eternal destruction? How many will turn and respond to the calls of the Holy Spirit? How many will refuse and instead follow the blind messages of society, led and influenced by Satan? End-time prophecy updates show us that the end is near and is approaching rapidly.
5. End-Time Prophecy: The Seven Last Plagues
The seven last plagues will fall on those who receive the mark of the beast. Do not assume that such people will be non-Christians who never attend church. End-time prophecy tells us that the round of ceremonies in churches will continue, but the Spirit of God will have withdrawn from the earth.
People will continue reading the Bible, but those who, like the Pharisees, reject the final message will have passed the limit of God’s forbearance. Just as in Noah’s time, many were believers, yet they rejected the present truth message and were left behind to perish in the flood.
God always has a present truth message — unless we follow Jesus every step of the way, we fall behind into darkness and into the wicked world below. Do you want to escape the coming judgments? Do you want to escape the mark of the beast? Repeat after me: Father God, I ask You to forgive my sins. Help me to understand end-time prophecy. Give me Your righteousness, and help me have a daily experience with You, in the name of Jesus, amen.
