Order of Last Day Events

So as we talked, as you can see on the title there, events and their order.

Many people are confused about the timeline of last day events.

I know that I was growing up And even in theology school, coming out of theology school, I was still confused about the order of events.

And I had listened to a few presentations and they were different.

Mine is probably different from theirs as well, but I just hope that you'll be able to follow clearly along this morning.

I don't really usually share this in public, sermons like this.

It's because all that I'm taking today is from the spirit of prophecy from Ellen White.

And so look, we can prove all these things that we're about to look at from the Bible, okay?

We can, but it will take more than the hour that is allotted to us.

So I'm just taking a shortcut today just to give you the order of events, but Every single thing that Ellen White talks about here can be proved from the Bible, but it'll take us quite a few hours, okay?

I hope that you forgive me, but I don't normally preach a whole sermon with just Ellen White quotes.

But today will be the exception, and I think this is the only Only sermon quote-unquote.

I really didn't ever intend it for it to be a sermon But it's the only thing I ever really share that is just all spirit of prophecy none from the Bible But look before we get into it, let's bow our heads for a word of prayer, shall we?

Father in heaven, thank you so much for this time that we have to come and study together today.

And Lord, we ask for your presence, your Holy Spirit to be with us, to guide us and to lead us and to teach us, oh Lord.

And I pray that you would please help us to see very clearly the order of the last day events that you've outlined here, and help us further to have a greater urgency as a result of studying your word today.

Many are probably wondering if they can get these slides and all the quotes.

I've made it available at my website at adventproductions.com.

You just look up, last day events and there'll be under the miscellaneous section there, but I've made the quotes available and all the slides are available there.

So please don't stress yourself out this morning thinking I'm going too fast.

It's on Facebook and it will be posted up on my website that you can read along and listen along as well in case you misunderstand what I'm trying to say or I'm just simply going too fast.

But understand we only have about an hour this morning so let's get into it.

Taken from Great Controversy 594 paragraph 1.

So in the prophecies the future is open before us as plainly as it was opened to the disciples by the words of Christ.

The events connected with the close of probation and the work of preparation for the time of trouble are clearly presented, but multitudes have no more understanding of these important truths than if they had never been revealed.

So look, many people, she says, are confused as if these things have never been revealed.

But I'm telling you friends, it's because many are not taking the time to study it out.

And look, I never learned this when I was in theology school.

I went out and I was just confused 1 day.

There's a lot of charts out there and I'm just looking and it's like, Lord, this doesn't make sense.

And I hear different things and then I go back and I'm a bit confused, but I pray that we'll have clarity today.

Testimonies to the Church, Volume 6, 128, paragraph 2.

They should know the things that will come to pass before the closing up of the world's history.

These things concern our eternal welfare, and teachers and students should give more attention to them.

Friends, we gotta give more attention to these events that are gonna come to pass shortly in our near future.

For those that have not been studying with us in Daniel, Revelation or Sanctuary, look, the purpose of prophecy, especially when we looked at from Daniel, helps us to see the urgency of time and why we got to do what we need to do in this time.

And so look, these events are very important for us to understand.

I saw that the powers of earth, pardon me, early writings 41 paragraph 2, I saw that the powers of earth are now being shaken and that events, what?

Okay, so they're not all messed up, they're not all mingled, and they're all, not all in any, it's just messed up here in our mind because we don't understand it totally.

And so there are events that will come in specific order.

Messages to Young People, 89, paragraph 2.

The tempest is coming and we must get ready for its fury by having repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord will arise to shake terribly the earth.

Thousands of ships will be hurled into the depths of the sea.

Navies will go down and human lives will be sacrificed by millions.

Fires will break out unexpectedly and no human effort will be able to quench them.

The palaces of earth will be swept away in the fury of the flames.

Disasters by rail will become more and more frequent.

Confusion, collision, and death without a moment's warning will occur on the great lines of travel.

Oh, let us seek God while he may be found.

I'm not sure if you're realizing, even from the previous quotes and even this 1, what makes seeking God even more important?

Understanding the time that we're living in.

We've seen that in Australia this beginning of the year.

Friends, what we see is frequent disasters coming upon the land more and more.

Welfare Ministry 136 paragraph 5, talking about the same thing.

The wars and rumors of wars, the destruction by fire and flood say clearly that the time of trouble, which is to increase until the end, is very near at hand.

This world is stirred with the spirit of war.

The prophecies of the 11th of Daniel have almost reached their final fulfillment.

We are going to fill out this timeline, as you see 1 very clear line there is the second coming.

But leading up to that, we have increasing disasters by air, by rail, by sea, fires breaking out unexpectedly.

We see increasing disasters coming upon us and even today pestilence, pandemics.

So the whole world pretty much is affected with this 1.

But we are seeing these things increasing over time.

Okay, so look, this pandemic is not the time of trouble.

It's part of this first event of many things that we're going to look at that is increasing in disasters over time.

I asked the meaning of the shaking I had seen and was shown that it would be caused by the straight testimony called forth by the counsel of the true witness to the Laodiceans.
