According to Ellen White's writings, the papacy is identified as the antichrist based on several prophetic and historical arguments: 1. Prophetic Fulfillment: The papacy is described as the fulfillment of the "apostasy of the latter times" prophesied in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, where Paul speaks of the "man of sin" who exalts himself above God. Ellen White states, "The papacy is just what prophecy declared that she would be, the apostasy of the latter times" (GC 571.2). 2. The Beast Power: The papacy is symbolized by the beast in Revelation 13:1-10 and the "little horn" in Daniel 7:25. These prophecies speak of a power that would persecute the saints, think to change times and laws, and rule for 1260 years. Ellen White writes, "The beast of Revelation 13:1-10 is understood to refer to the papal power. This has been the general opinion of Protestants" (4SP 502.1). 3. Change of God’s Law: A key characteristic of the antichrist is the attempt to change God’s law. Ellen White connects this to the papacy: "He shall think to change times and the law... Only by changing God's law could the papacy exalt itself above God" (GC 446.1). 4. Persecution and Supremacy: The papacy is said to have received its power, seat, and authority from the dragon (Satan), and to have persecuted the faithful for centuries, fulfilling the prophecy of 1260 years of oppression (GC 54.2, 4SP 57.2). 5. Usurping Christ’s Role: The papacy is accused of turning people from Christ to the pope as mediator, claiming to stand in the place of God, which Ellen White identifies as the work of antichrist (4SP 58.1). 6. Restoration of Power: Prophecy is interpreted to foretell a restoration of papal power, with the world giving homage to the papacy, especially through Sunday observance, which is seen as a mark of papal authority (GC 578.3). 7. Historical Protestant View: Ellen White cites Martin Luther and other Protestant reformers who identified the papacy as antichrist, with Luther stating, "I know that the pope is antichrist, and that his throne is that of Satan himself" (GC 141.3). In summary, Ellen White’s writings argue that the papacy fulfills the biblical prophecies of the antichrist by exalting itself above God, changing His law, persecuting the saints, and claiming authority that belongs to Christ alone. These points are repeatedly emphasized in her books, especially The Great Controversy. References: - White, E. G. (1911). The Great Controversy.

Ellen White does not use the exact phrase "little time of trouble" in her published books. However, she frequently references the "time of trouble" or "time of trouble such as never was," which refers to the final crisis before Christ's return. There are also references to having "but a little time" to work or prepare, but these do not specifically denote a prophetic period called the "little time of trouble." In summary, while Ellen White speaks extensively about the "time of trouble," there is no direct reference in her books to a distinct "little time of trouble." If you are looking for a specific prophetic period by that name, it does not appear in her published book writings. References: - White, E. G. (1911). The Great Controversy. - White, E. G. (1884).
