Based on the available Ellen White Estate book sources, the timeframe for fire coming down on several cities is described as follows: - Ellen White repeatedly warns that "the time is near when the large cities will be visited by the judgments of God" and that "in a little while these cities will be terribly shaken" (7T 83.2). She emphasizes that no matter how strong or fireproof the buildings, when God allows, they can be destroyed in minutes or hours. - She describes a future event, at the end of time, when "fire comes down from God out of heaven" and the earth is broken up, with devouring flames bursting forth, melting the elements, and burning up the works of the earth (GC 672.2; 4SP 487.2). This is associated with the final judgment and the "day of the Lord's vengeance." - There are also references to historical judgments, such as the destruction of Jerusalem and the cities of the plain (Sodom and Gomorrah), which serve as warnings for the present and future (PP 162.3; GC 34.1). - Ellen White mentions specific cities like Chicago and San Francisco as examples of cities that have already experienced God's judgments by fire, but she states, "This is not the only city that will realize the visible marks of God's displeasure. He has made a beginning, but not an end" (4T 52.3). In summary, Ellen White places the ultimate, widespread fire on cities in the context of the last days—just before or at the second coming of Christ, as part of God's final judgments. However, she also indicates that preliminary judgments (such as fires in Chicago and San Francisco) are already occurring as warnings, and more will come "in a little while." The exact date or year is not specified, but the language consistently points to the nearness of these events relative to her own time and the end of the world. References: - White, E. G. (1902).
