According to available White Estate materials, there is no direct, detailed description of the events of the 6th plague among the seven last plagues (as described in Revelation 16) in the book sources. Most references discuss the plagues of Egypt or the general concept of the seven last plagues, but not specifically the 6th plague in the end-time context. If you require more specific information, a search in other collections such as manuscripts or compilations may be necessary. References: - White Estate research response, based on published Ellen G. White book sources.

The events of the 6th seal, as described in Ellen White's writings and based on Revelation 6:12-17, include: 1. A great earthquake (Revelation 6:12; 9T 267.2) 2. The sun becomes black as sackcloth, and the moon as blood (Revelation 6:12; 9T 267.2) 3. The stars of heaven fall to earth (Revelation 6:13; 9T 267.2) 4. The heavens depart as a scroll, and every mountain and island are moved (Revelation 6:14; 9T 267.2) 5. Terror among the wicked, who seek to hide from the face of God (Revelation 6:15-17; 9T 267.2; SJ 138.9) 6. Signs and wonders in nature, including the ceasing of streams and the voice of God declaring "It is done" (GC 636.2; EW 285) 7. Deliverance of God's people, who witness these events with solemn joy (GC 636.2; EW 285) 8. The opening of graves for those who died in faith under the third angel's message (EW 285) These events mark the closing scenes of earth's history, the end of probation, and the beginning of God's final judgments, leading up to the Second Coming of Christ.

There is a direct connection between the events of the sixth seal (Revelation 6:12-17) and the signs Jesus described in Matthew 24. Ellen White repeatedly affirms this link in her writings: - She states that the signs under the sixth seal—such as the great earthquake, the darkening of the sun and moon, and the falling of the stars—are the very signs Jesus foretold in Matthew 24:29-33. After these signs, the next great event is the coming of Christ, as described in both Revelation and Matthew (see GC 334.2, GC 37.2, SJ 176.5-6). - Ellen White writes: “Thus was displayed the last of those signs of His coming, concerning which Jesus bade His disciples: ‘When ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.’ Matthew 24:33. After these signs, John beheld, as the great event next impending, the heavens departing as a scroll...” (GC 334.2). - She also emphasizes that the fulfillment of these signs is a warning and a call to readiness, echoing Christ’s admonition in Matthew 24:42-44 to “watch” and be prepared for His coming (GC 37.2, 4SP 38.1). In summary, Ellen White teaches that the events of the sixth seal are the fulfillment of the signs Jesus gave in Matthew 24, and both point to the nearness of Christ’s return. Those who see these signs are to recognize that “it is near, even at the doors” (Matthew 24:33). References: - The Great Controversy, pp. 37.2, 334.2 - The Story of Jesus, pp. 176.5-6 - 4SP 38.1

Ellen White’s writings indicate that there are not outward, dramatic “signs” that mark the very moment of the close of probation. Instead, she emphasizes that life will appear to continue as usual, even as probation’s hour is fast closing. Here are the key points from her writings: 1. **Life Continues as Usual**: People will still be “eating and drinking, planting and building, marrying and giving in marriage; merchants are still buying and selling; men are jostling one against another, seeking to get the highest place; pleasure-lovers are still attending theaters, horse-races, gambling hells, and the highest excitement prevails; yet probation's hour is fast closing, and every case is about to be eternally decided” (SpTEd 131.1; DA 636.2). 2. **No Visible Sign**: The close of probation is not marked by a visible sign to the world. “The work of Christ as man's intercessor before God had ceased... Probation is ended a short time before the appearing of the Lord in the clouds of heaven” (GC 490.2; 2T 691.2). 3. **The Investigative Judgment**: Probation closes when the investigative judgment in heaven is finished—when every case has been decided for life or death (GC 491.1; GC 428.2). 4. **The Decree of Revelation 22:11**: At the close of probation, Christ declares: “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly...” (Revelation 22:11, 12; GC 490.2). 5. **Suddenness and Unawareness**: The close of probation comes suddenly and unexpectedly to the world. Many will be unprepared, having neglected the preparation of purity and holiness (2T 191.1; COL 319.2). 6. **Warning Signs**: The “signs of Christ’s coming are fast fulfilling,” and Satan is working to keep people distracted and unprepared until the day of probation ends and the door is forever shut (SpTEd 131.1; DA 636.2). **Summary:** There are no outward, dramatic signs that mark the close of probation. Life will seem to go on as usual, but the close of probation occurs when Christ’s intercessory work in the heavenly sanctuary ends. The only “signs” are the fulfillment of prophetic events and the increasing distraction and worldliness of society, which should serve as a warning to be ready. **References:** - SpTEd 131.1 - GC 490.2, 491.1, 428.2 - DA 636.2 - 2T 691.2, 191.1 - COL 319.2

There isn't a direct, detailed list in Ellen White's published books titled "the 7 last events." However, her writings do describe a sequence of major end-time events, often referred to as the "seven last plagues" (Revelation 16), which are poured out after Jesus leaves the heavenly sanctuary. These plagues are a key part of the final events leading up to the Second Coming. Here is a summary of the seven last plagues, which are often considered the "seven last events" in this context: 1. **First Plague:** Painful sores upon those who have the mark of the beast. 2. **Second Plague:** The sea turns to blood and everything in it dies. 3. **Third Plague:** Rivers and springs become blood. 4. **Fourth Plague:** The sun scorches people with intense heat. 5. **Fifth Plague:** Darkness covers the seat of the beast, and people gnaw their tongues in pain. 6. **Sixth Plague:** The Euphrates River dries up to prepare the way for the kings of the east; demonic spirits gather the world for the battle of Armageddon. 7. **Seventh Plague:** A great earthquake, hailstones, and the final destruction of Babylon. Ellen White affirms that these plagues are poured out after Jesus leaves the sanctuary and that they represent the wrath of God upon the wicked (see Early Writings, p. 52; ExV 33). If you are asking about a different sequence of "seven last events" (such as a broader prophetic timeline), please clarify, and I can search for more specific information. References: - Ellen G.

There is no direct, explicit list in Ellen White’s published books titled “the seven last events” as a prophetic timeline. However, her writings do outline a broader sequence of major end-time events that many Adventist interpreters summarize as the “last events.” These are not always numbered as seven, but the following sequence is commonly drawn from her writings and the prophetic outline of Daniel and Revelation: A Broader Prophetic Timeline of the Last Events (from Ellen White’s writings): 1. The Final Warning and Loud Cry - The message of Revelation 18 is given with great power, calling people out of Babylon (GC 604–612). 2. The Close of Probation - Christ’s intercessory work in the heavenly sanctuary ceases; the decree of Revelation 22:11 is pronounced (GC 490–491). 3. The Seven Last Plagues - The wrath of God is poured out on the unrepentant (Revelation 16; EW 52; GC 627–637). 4. The Time of Jacob’s Trouble - God’s people experience a period of intense spiritual anguish and persecution, but are delivered (GC 616–634). 5. The Deliverance of God’s People - God’s voice delivers the faithful, the special resurrection occurs, and the wicked are terrified (GC 635–637; EW 285). 6. The Second Coming of Christ - Jesus appears in the clouds, the righteous dead are resurrected, and the living righteous are translated (GC 640–645). 7. The Destruction of the Wicked and the Beginning of the Millennium - The wicked are slain by the brightness of Christ’s coming, and the earth is left desolate for 1,000 years (GC 654–661).

Yes, Ellen White does reference the concept of a national Sunday law in her writings. While she does not always use the exact phrase "National Sunday Law," she repeatedly describes a future time when laws enforcing Sunday observance will be enacted in the United States and elsewhere, leading to a crisis over religious liberty and the commandments of God. Key points from her writings: - She warns that "rulers and religious leaders will unite to enforce the observance of the Sunday; and as milder measures fail, the most oppressive laws will be enacted... a decree will finally be issued denouncing them [Sabbath-keepers] as deserving of the severest punishment" (4SP 444.2). - Ellen White specifically mentions the efforts of the "National Reform Association" to secure a religious amendment to the U.S. Constitution to enforce Sunday observance (4SP 503.2). - She states: "We have been looking many years for a Sunday law to be enacted in our land; and, now that the movement is right upon us, we ask: Will our people do their duty in the matter?... The time is fast approaching when those who choose to obey God rather than man will be made to feel the hand of oppression" (5T 716.1). - She describes how "the dignitaries of Church and State will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday... legislators will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance" (GC 592.3; 4SP 410.1). - She also recounts the historical Sunday law of Constantine (A.D. 321) as a precedent for future Sunday legislation (GC 574.1, GC88 574.1, 4SP 391.1). In summary, Ellen White clearly predicts a coming national Sunday law as a major prophetic event, warning that it will test the faithfulness of God's people and bring about a crisis over religious liberty and Sabbath observance.

Here are some key highlights and direct references: 1. **A Place of Beauty, Joy, and Harmony** - “Heaven is a good place. I long to be there, and behold my lovely Jesus, who gave his life for me, and be changed into his glorious image. Oh, for language to express the glory of the bright world to come. I thirst for the living streams that make glad the City of our God.” (ExV 22.1; EW 39.2) - “The grass of the place was living green, and the birds there warbled a sweet song.

According to available White Estate materials, Ellen White describes "Jacob's time of trouble" as a period of intense spiritual anguish and distress that God's people will experience just before Christ's second coming. This experience is modeled after the biblical account of Jacob's night of wrestling with the angel (Genesis 32:24-30), when he sought deliverance from Esau and was deeply burdened by the memory of his own sin. Key points from her writings: - Symbolic Experience: Jacob's night of anguish represents the trial through which the people of God must pass before Christ returns. (PP 201.1; GC 616.1) - Scriptural Foundation: She references Jeremiah 30:5-7: “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” (GC 616.1; PK 538.2; Ed 181.2; 9T 15.4) - Nature of the Trouble: God's people will be plunged into scenes of affliction and distress, feeling unworthy and fearing that their sins have separated them from God. Like Jacob, their only hope will be in God's mercy, and their only defense will be earnest prayer. (GC 616.2; GC88 616.2) - Preparation: As Jacob made every effort to reconcile with Esau, so God's people are counseled to make every effort to be right with others and with God as they approach this time. (GC 616.2) - Outcome: Though the time is one of great trial, God’s people will be delivered, just as Jacob was saved from Esau. (GC 616.1; Jeremiah 30:7) References: - Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 201.1, 237.4, 198.1, 180.3, 193.1 - The Great Controversy, pp. 616.1–616.3; GC88 616.2–616.3 - Prophets and Kings, p. 538.2 - Education, p. 181.2 - Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, p. 15.4 - Early Writings, p. 39.2 If you would like the full text of any specific reference, please let me know!

Ellen White predicted that laws enforcing Sunday observance would be enacted even in countries where "full religious liberty prevailed" (CET 251.3). She viewed the movement toward such legislation as a sign of "The Impending Conflict" and a significant milestone in the experiences of the Adventist people (3SM 381.1). In the late 1800s, as agitation for these laws increased in the United States, she wrote that "we have been looking many years for a Sunday law to be enacted in our land" (LDE 125). She emphasized that while the movement seemed imminent at that time, God's people should specifically seek Him for "grace and power" because she did not believe the time had fully come for their liberties to be restricted (LDE 125). She suggested that God might, in response to the prayers of His people, "hold in check the workings of those who are making void His law" (3SM 381.1). She further explained that the fulfillment of these predictions regarding Sunday laws would serve to inspire "increased confidence" in the final triumph of the Seventh-day Adventist cause (CET 251.3). She provided assurance that when the issue is finally legislated into law, the Lord gives light and knowledge just when it is most neededto help His people take the right steps (3SM 394.3). Ellen White also connected these legislative efforts to the spiritual condition of the world, stating that the fullness of iniquity will be reachedwhen the Word of God is ignored and men "have made void His law" (20MR 14). She portrayed these events as part of a broader prophetic landscape that she saw in vision, describing the experiences through which believers would pass before the Lord's coming (CET 251.3). For practical application, this counsel suggests a focus on spiritual preparation and prayer rather than fear. She taught that God provides specific guidance and light exactly when the crisis arrives, rather than leaving His people in uncertainty (3SM 394.3). Her writings encourage believers to trust that the same God who foretold these events will sustain His people through them. In conclusion, Ellen White's predictions regarding Sunday laws serve as a call to vigilance and prayer, reminding believers that the fulfillment of these events confirms the reliability of the prophetic word and the proximity of the end (CET 251.3). --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:** • What did Ellen White say about how to relate to Sunday laws when they are passed? • How does the Sunday law connect to the mark of the beastin her writings? • What role does the United States play in end-time prophecy according to her counsel? --- 📚 **thousands of passages found** containing these search terms — [Explore in Full-Text Search](/advanced-search?q=Ellen+white+predictions+on+the+univeral+Sunday+Law)
