Ellen White made a few predictions
.
On the Civil war.
“Men are making light of the secession ordinance that has been passed by South Carolina [Dec. 20, 1860]. They have little idea of the trouble that is coming on our land. No one in this house has even dreamed of the trouble that is coming. I have just been shown in vision that a number of States are going to join South Carolina in this secession, and a terrible war will be the result. In the vision I saw large armies raised by both the North and the South. I was shown the battle raging...There are men in this house who will lose sons in that war." Bio., Vol 1, p463“I was shown that many do not realize the extent of the evil which has come upon us. They have flattered themselves that the national difficulties would soon be settled, and confusion and war end; but all will be convinced that there is more reality in the matter than was anticipated. Many looked for the North to strike a blow and end the controversy.”
Testimonies, vol. 1, p. 264.
The San Francisco earthquake of April 18, 1906:
"Not long hence, these cities will suffer under the judgment of God. San Francisco and Oakland are becoming as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Lord will visit them in wrath." (Evangelism, 403-404). 1902.
"While at Loma Linda, California, April 16, 1906 [2 days before the earthquake], 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." (
Country Living, p. 8).
Are these statement she saw about 9-11?
"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.
"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, emphasis supplied.
"In the night I was, I thought, in a room but not in my own house. I was in a city, where I knew not, and
I heard explosion after explosion. I rose up quickly in bed, and saw from my window large balls of fire. Jetting out were sparks, in the form of arrows, and buildings were being consumed, and in a very few minutes the entire block of buildings was falling and the screeching and mournful groans came distinctly to my ears. I cried out, in my raised position, to learn what was happening: Where am I? And where are our family circle? Then I awoke. But I could not tell where I was for I was in another place than home. I said, Oh Lord, where am I and what shall I do? It was a voice that spoke, "Be not afraid. Nothing shall harm you." {11MR 361.1}
The Review and Harold publishing house was printing secular materials. Ellen White warned that God will cleanse it by fire. 13 months later, the publishing house was burnt to the ground.
“I have been almost afraid to open the
Review, fearing to see that God has cleansed the publishing house by fire. . . . Unless there is a reformation, calamity will overtake the publishing house, and the world will know the reason." Testimonies vol. 8, pp. 91, 96.
She wrote in 1885 about the ecumenical union of Protestants and Catholics and the US Constitution and republican form of government repudiated. We see these came/coming true.
“When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.” Great Controversy, p445.
She also wrote many personal letters that were later published pointing out secrets of those she addressed to. For example she wrote to man who was also a mason. She wrote to him and warned him about serving two masters.
And her writings on health and education were ahead of her time are still proving true today. For example, she wrote the tobacco is a poison (Counsels on Health, p84). Physicians as late as 1960s were still prescribed asthma patients with tobacco.
And some physicians today advocated diet instead of medicine to cure diseases after more than 100 years Ellen White wrote volumes on health and diet.
When Dr. Walter Martin an 'cult expert' in the evangelicals was rewriting the book 'the Kingdom of Cults', he confirmed the prophetic gift of Ellen White.
