What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Do you have a quotation stating that catastrophes demonstrate that Jesus is returning?"
Answer
The writings of the Advent pioneers emphasize that increasing catastrophes, natural events such as earthquakes and worldwide crises are fulfillments of biblical prophecy that point to the imminent end of the world and the Second Coming of Christ. These events serve as clear signs and a wake‑up call to prepare for the appearance of the Lord. The Bible and Adventist literature describe wars, plagues, famines and accidents as fore‑signs announcing that Jesus' coming is at the door.
Disasters and Natural Catastrophes as Signs of the Near End
»The terrible reports we hear about murders and robberies, about railway accidents and acts of violence tell the story that the end of all things is near. Now, right now we must prepare for the second coming of the Lord... In the final scenes of earth’s history war will rage. There will be pestilence, plagues and famine. The waters of the deep will overstep their bounds. Property and life will be destroyed by fire and flood. We should prepare the homes that Christ has gone to ready for those who love Him.«
Fulfillment of Prophecy Concerning the Events Before the Coming of the Savior
»Today the signs of the times proclaim that we stand on the threshold of great and solemn events. Everything in our world is in turmoil. Before our eyes the Savior’s prophecy concerning the events that are to precede His coming is being fulfilled: "You will hear of wars and the sounds of war... a nation will rise against another nation, and a kingdom against another kingdom; and there will be famines and plagues, and earthquakes in various places.«
Increasing Tribulations as Signs of the Coming Judgment
»It can, however, justifiably be asserted that Holy Scripture teaches that these tribulations in the last days will be present to such an extent that they constitute a sign of the approaching judgment. We wish to make clear the important fact that Scripture teaches when people should not, and when they may, look for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
