What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Does Ellen White say anything about Matthew 24 verse 6? Can the word 'rumors of wars' be used to intimidate or encourage opponents?"
Answer
Ellen White quotes Matthew 24 in her book “Education” and relates the “wars and rumors of wars” mentioned there to the signs of the times that are being fulfilled immediately before the second coming of Christ. She sees it as a warning that we are on the threshold of great and solemn events.
Regarding the specific question of whether the term “rumors of wars” can be used to intimidate or encourage opponents, the provided quotations contain no statement. Neither Ellen White nor the other sources address this aspect.
Signs of the Times before the Second Coming of Christ
»Today the signs of the time proclaim that we are on the threshold of great and solemn events. Everything in our world is in turmoil. Before our eyes the Savior’s prophecy about the events that precede His coming is being fulfilled: “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars... Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.”«
The judgments of God are in the land
»The judgments of God are in the land. The wars and rumors of wars, the destruction by fire and flood, clearly indicate that the time of tribulation, which will increase until the end, is already in the world.«
