Adventistische Schriften über: "What did Ellen White understand by Revelation 9:15 and the prophetic time indicators—hour, day, month, and year?"

Answer

Ellen White understood Revelation 9:15 as a description of the four angels bound at the great river Euphrates, who, once released, are prepared to kill a third of humanity for a specific prophetic time period—one hour, one day, one month, and one year. She did not interpret this time frame as a literal clock time, but as a symbolic prophetic measure connected to the signs of Christ's second coming. In her view, this verse is part of God's announcement of impending judgment, pointing toward the final events before Christ's return.

Ellen White's Interpretation of Revelation 9:15

»Loose the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were released, who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to kill a third of humanity.«
