Ellen G. White made numerous predictions and statements about the future, many of which her followers believe have relevance to the realities of today's life. Here are some key points from her writings that address her predictions and their connection to current events: 1. Portrayal of Future Events: Ellen White often described future events as if she were witnessing them firsthand. She wrote, "As Mrs. White described that which God revealed to her concerning future events, she did so, at times, as one participating in these events, whether they were in the past or the present or the future" (Early Writings, EW 297.3). 2. Signs of the Times: She wrote about the "fast-fulfilling signs of the times" and stated, "We are living in the time of the end. The fast-fulfilling signs of the times declare that the coming of Christ is near at hand. The days in which we live are solemn and important. The Spirit of God is gradually but surely being withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and judgments are already falling upon the despisers of the grace of God. The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude" (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, 9T 11). 3. Changes in Society: Ellen White predicted that there would be significant changes in society, including political upheavals, changes in the industrial world, and great religious awakenings. She said, "There would come changes that would open doors that were closed and barred, changes in many things that would alter conditions and arouse the minds of the people to understand and appreciate present truth. Political upheavals would come, and changes in the industrial world, and great religious awakenings, that would prepare minds to listen to the third angel's message" (Life Sketches of Ellen G. White, LS 294.3). 4. Health and Lifestyle: She also wrote extensively about health, diet, and lifestyle, warning against unhealthy habits and promoting health reform. Many of her health principles, such as the importance of a balanced diet, exercise, and abstaining from harmful substances, are widely accepted today (Healthful Living, HL 3). Summary: Ellen G. White's predictions about societal unrest, natural disasters, health, and spiritual challenges are seen by many as relevant to the realities of today's world. Her writings emphasize preparedness, spiritual vigilance, and practical health principles, which continue to resonate with readers facing modern challenges.
