"Today the world is mad; an insanity is upon them, which is hurrying them on to eternal ruin. Every species of indulgence prevails, and men become so infatuated with vice that they will not listen to warnings or appeals. The Lord declares to the people of the earth, “Choose you this day whom ye will serve. All are now deciding their eternal destiny. Men need to be aroused to realize the solemnity of the time and the nearness of the day when human probation shall be ended." {18MR 58.2} ~~~~~~~ "Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men." {2Cor 5:11}
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm [3rd and 4th angel’s messages] in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh [seven last plagues], for [it is] nigh at hand;
Joel 2:1 emphasis added
Please listen to the joyful noise, the festal shout, the sound of the alarm. Yeshua (Jesus) is Messiah Ha Machiach. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord of lords and King of kings; the Creator of all. These sounds stir up and pierce the heart of all nations throughout the earth as a call to repent from our backslidden condition or turn to The Truth (Jesus). Probation (salvation) is soon to close!
“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come (judgment/ close of probation).”
Matt 24:42
“But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time (judgment/ close of probation) is.”
Mark 13:32, 33
“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before (judgment/ close of probation) the Son of man.”
Luke 21:36

SUNDAY LAW HAS BEEN HERE SINCE 1892, ENFORCEMENT IS COMING!
IS IT CONSTITUTIONAL? IS IT BIBLICAL?
“We cannot tell the people any more that the United States government is going to put away the Sabbath of the Lord from the fourth commandment and put Sunday in its place. No man can do that and speak truly. Everyone that speaks the truth on that has to say that has been done and point the people simply to the official record in the proceedings of the government that shows it and there it stands. Therefore, as this is truly so, this text applies as never before, “Now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”‘ {February 13, 1895 ATJ, GCB 116.9} (Italicized in original)

VERSE BY VERSE ANNOTATIONS OF THE BOOKS OF DANIEL AND REVELATION
We have nothing to fear for the future, except we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and his teaching in our past history.”
{RH October 12, 1905, par. 22}
There are important historical events foretold in the book of Revelation, Chapter 10, that transpired between the years 1840-1844, which have continued to unfold, bringing us down to our day to finally culminate in the proclaimation of the Loud Cry of Revelation 18, in connection with the three angel’s messages of Revelation Chapter 14:6-12.
These important prophecies are depicted on the 1843 and 1850 charts which outline the visions of Daniel and John, the Revelator in the Bible, bringing us down to current events of our day. The most important prophecy to understand is in the book of Daniel, Chapter 11, Verse 45. Once this prophetic event is fulfilled (can read a brief outline of this under the “Eastern Question” menu), probation (no more opportunity for salvation) will be closing upon the world. Our eternal destiny will be set forever before the 2nd Coming of Christ!
The purpose of this site is to bring awareness of and to encourage study of these messages that show God’s tender love and mercy for mankind. A verse by verse annotation of the books of Daniel and Revelation has (currently adding more material) been provided on these vital-to-understand prophecies that can be printed out and used for further study upon this and other related subjects. Suggested reading material has also been provided and reiterated throughout this website’s pages.
For those unfamiliar with these prophecies, please begin by looking at the 1843 & 1850 Charts Overview below. Please also read suggested outline to follow in these studies under the “Prophecy Study Guide” menu.
As this website grows, we will add other topics relevant to end-times to enhace a broader understanding of God’s plan of redemption for mankind.
May our heavenly Father bless you as you study to show thyself approved.
2Tim 2:15
Old Truths Essential to Comprehend the New
“In every age there is a new development of truth, a message of God to the people of that generation. The old truths are all essential; new truth is not independent of the old, but an unfolding of it. It is only as the old truths are understood that we can comprehend the new. When Christ desired to open to His disciples the truth of His resurrection, He began “at Moses and all the prophets” and “expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself.” Luke 24:27. But it is the light which shines in the fresh unfolding of truth that glorifies the old. He who rejects or neglects the new does not really possess the old. For him it loses its vital power and becomes but a lifeless form.”
{COL 127.4}
“That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.”
Ecclesiastes 3:15
God repeats history. If the 1st and 2nd woes were delivered by the Turkish (Islamic) people of the past (Rev Ch 9), then the 3rd woe (Rev 11) will be delivered by the same.

Habakkuk’s Tables
As part of these end-time prophecies, Islam plays a vital role that helps us understand when probation (salvation) will be closing upon the world.
Islam’s Role in Bible Prophecy is depicted on the charts (Mahometans) & in the books of Revelation Chapters 8, 9 & 11, Daniel 11:40-45, Joel, Ezekiel 32, Psalms 83!!
For an understanding of Islam’s past & future role in Bible prophecy, please visit verse by verse annotations of the Books of Daniel 11, Revelation 9, Joel, Ezekiel 32 and Plalms 83 under the “Prophecy” menu.
WRITE THE VISION AND MAKE IT PLAIN UPON TABLES
The prophecy of Habakkuk (a contemporaty of Daniel), that there would be “tables” has been fulfilled. These tables came about in 1842 in the development of the 1843 and 1850 Charts, thus fulfilling this prophecy of Habakkuk! God has made truths plain upon tables (Hab 2:1-4) that all should read and become familiar- as this will help (as a visual aid) unfold our understanding of the relavant last-day prophecies in Daniel and Revelation. When tracing the historical pen, it can be noted that these prophecies on the charts and in the Bible have been impeccably fulfilled in every detail when compared with the annals of history which undeniably prove God as the Author of these messages. Take a look at Revelation Chapter 9 as an example.
CHARTS OF
HABAKKUK 2:1-4
“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved <margin: “argued with” about prophecy>. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision (of Daniel and John, the Revelator), and make [it] plain upon tables (1843 & 1850 charts), that he may run that readeth it. For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” (emphasis supplied) Hab. 2:1-4
EXPLANATION OF & BIBLICAL HISTORY BEHIND THE CHARTS
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matt 18:3
Habakkuk 2:1-4 In Song
ISLAM (AKA EASTERN QUESTION) IS CONNECTED WITH THESE LAST-DAY PROPHECIES IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION AS WELL.
THE BIBLE CONNECTS THE WARNING OF THE 3RD ANGEL’S MESSAGE IN REVELATION 18, OF “NOT RECEIVING HER (BABYLON’S) PLAGUES” THAT WILL BE DELIVERED BY ISLAM (3RD WOE- REV 11:14).
[“BABYLON” IS ANOTHER SUBJECT OF STUDY IN ADDITION TO THE 3RD WOE.]
3 Angel’s Worldwide WARNING Message
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting Gospel to preach to them which dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: And worship Him that made heaven, and earth and the sea, and the fountains of water. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”
Rev. 14:6-11
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.”
Rev 18:4
Three Angel’s Message Defined
The gospel (Every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God via the Bible and 1843 & 1850 Charts of Hab. 2:1-4) preached in fullness portrayed through Christ’s saints (“Mystery of God finished”- Christ in you, the hope of glory) by proclaiming and repeating the three angel’s messages of Revelation 14 of which the third angel joins the Loud Cry of the 4th angel of Revelation 18 with the addition of proclaiming the errors that have been entering the churches since 1844 (with special emphasis on the true Seventh-Day Sabbath [Saturday]) and by giving the last solemn world-wide warning message of judgment to come (Dan 12:1); that if obedience is not heeded to the call from heaven to “Come Out” from biblical errors and/or apostasy and follow the Lord, then the seven last plagues (Rev 16) will be poured out (via Islam) upon the disobedient and rejecters of God’s Word, resulting in their eternal loss. Jesus desires all men to repent and accept his invitation… that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE
~ JOHN 3:16
Events Connected with the Close of Probation
“The events [Daniel 11:45; Eastern Question/ Islam] connected with the close of probation [3 angel’s messages] and the work of preparation [Character Development & Obedience] for the time of trouble [7 last plagues- Islam plays a role], are clearly presented. But multitudes have no more understanding of these important truths than if they had never been revealed. [especially in connection with Islam and the plagues] Satan watches to catch away every impression that would make them wise unto salvation, and the time of trouble will find them unready.”

A Summary of Events Soon to Transpire:
Story of Daniel the Prophet by Stephen Haskell- 1908 (excerpt)
“Every eye is centered on that one spot, and has been for years. Turkey is known universally as the “sick man of the east…the time will come when he will remove from Constantinople, and take up his abode in Palestine; that is, plant his tabernacle between the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Time and again the world has been brought to realize that the end of all things is near at hand, for all know that when the Turk steps out of Constantinople, there will be a general breaking up of Europe. They may not name this impending conflict the battle of Armageddon, but God has so named it.”{1901 SNH, SDP 247.3} “I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth. . . . And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God; and he cried . . . Saying, hurt not the earth . . . Till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.” these angels now hold the winds of strife, waiting for the church of God to prepare for his coming. The sealing angel goes through Jerusalem (the church) to place the seal of the living God on the foreheads of the faithful, and while this work goes forward, Turkey stands as a national guidepost to the world, that men may know what is going on in the sanctuary above. {1901 SNH, SDP 248.1} God’s eye is upon his people, and he never leaves himself without a witness in the world. No man knows when Turkey will take its departure from Europe, but when that move is made, earth’s history will be short. Then it will be said, “he that is unjust let him be unjust still, . . . And he that is righteous let him be righteous still.” to-day is “the day of preparation…while the world watches Turkey, let the servant of God watch the movements of his great high priest, whose ministry for sin is almost over.”{1901 SNH, SDP 248.2}
“While the world watches Turkey…”

Under Habakkuk’s Tables, if you can put the best explanation of what the folks are looking at. Each symbol should have an explanation since the writing on the chart are so small. A good teacher of the charts is what is needed. The charts when you click on the dates come up nice and clear. A good study of it would be awesome.
1843 & 1850 Charts Overview: Was a great help in understanding the charts. Just a little more explanation of it in PDF or video would be perfect.
Thanks for the great suggestions Brother Vinnie.
Thanks for the work, also give details of 1860 Prophetic

~Smile~ Your ” About ” tab on top of the Home Page is the warmest
” Welcome ” I have ever seen. Very nicely put, a sure guidance for those searching for truth, especially for ” Beginners “. Your website is surely going to be a ” Go To ” for all who want to study for these last days. Well Done !!
I love this website, it has something for everyone. Those who are only into studying out the verses, and for those who like to listen or watch videos and get the message that way. I also like how you put different people on here with different messages that bring out the topic they have perfected more clearly. I think it is wise to see others talents as important to getting out the message. We are all so different in how we learn and you have put this together for all, visual and audio and enough information so there should be no doubts. May all be Blessed.
Praise God! He is the great orchestrator of this website. My heart is warmed by your testimony that there is enough variety available to reach different audiences. We hope to add more subject material as we expand and grow. Thank you for taking time to share.
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:13
Are we taking the materials from the book “Daniel and Revelation” which is no longer in print. I have found only one minister that used that book, but no longer. So which part of the presentation is new light????? or is it old light. Seems to me to be confusion in the amount of material presented. Why does EGW say that these prophecies of Daniel are yet future. 6 places in Daniel it states that these thing happen at the end of time. If you quote from EGW shouldn’t you have a portion about her also or leave off the references? Also there is a warning given in adding to the word or diminish from it in Deut 4. Then also in Rev 22: 18,19, we are warned about adding to or the taking away from the prophecy of this book. EGW states that the vision by the rivers of Babylon are yet future, (TM 265) she makes Rev future of 70 AD, so what does that do to the 2300 day prophecy of the past? And when was the Abomination of Desolation set up at the end of time? To me, using EGW without a great amount of study is to back yourself into a corner which you can’t get out of. She never claimed to have all the light for she said there is more to come! There is the need of much study to declare something without Scriptural proof! But to go farther than that is speculation!!!! It is interesting that the fourth beast of Daniel is never called Rome in Scripture! Could it be that this refers to the end time party that plays this same part at the very end, but it may not be called Rome? God never uses the end time actors by name, but by actions. It may be that we have not carefully looked at all the possibilities of understanding. I give you much credit for your work and the quality of it. But a few statements from Scripture and EGW leaves certain issues hanging without support!
20 years of study has me trembling that we are not preaching all of the truth and that maybe some misinterpting of what we have been taught as truth. Less EGW and more Scripture and we will never go wrong! I was taught that Scripture interpets itself, that means we need to dig deeper! Just one more. I have not been able to prove that the image of Daniel was a man. On the plain where Neb set up the image the proportions of one and nine do not match the proportions of a man!
Am I guilty of a false truth because of an artist painting!
I print a hundred booklet dealing with these issues for the last 30 years, and many are compllations by EGW. by subject. I believe in her but have come to see that she didn’t understand everything correctly. It wasn’t time as God was leading to present truth for a people of that day and the prophet was given light for that time.. But this new light is to open deeper understanding of past understandings is been proven to me by study. It is a real challenge to prove all things by Scripture as I was programmed in to thinking a certain way. This walk has led me to see that we didn’t want to see or would not see, that we are repeating the history of Israel. If you will send me an address I will send you an outline of what God has led me to do in preparing for the end times ahead of us. I have sought to answer the question given to me by SDA’s. And as I had to fight my way out I have placed my study in print so as to give you what I found.
Yes the feast days and the name and the prophecies and the timing of them. You name it and I have run into it. I however do not use non inspired writers for teaching! Anonymous.
Greetings Brother C (anonymous),
Thank you for your comments and areas of concern. The DAR Book to which I am referring is the 1897 version as later versions, especially the 1944 version has undergone over 10,000 changes after Uriah Smith had passed away… in other words, he did not author the later altered versions.
The portions which are new light is that which has not yet been fulfilled in prophecy of which only verse 45 of Daniel Chapter 11 (and parts of chapter 12) has not been fulfilled; also, the books of Joel, Psalms 83, Eze 32 (and of course portions of Revelation) have not been fulfilled; this would be part of our “new light.” If you go to the Revelation and Daniel menus, you will find all the textual support annotated throughout these verses. The new light (events to transpire) that corresponds with Daniel and Revelation can be found in the menus of Joel, Ezekiel and Psalms concerning Islam’s role in Bible prophecy.
As far as Ellen White, I do have a menu for her as well (under Subject Studies) stating who she was and her role as a prophet.
In regard to Rome being the 4th beast power, one only needs to look at the historical record to confirm this history as William Miller’s rule states that “prophecy and history must agree in order to have the true event”.
Have you seen the 1843 and 1850 charts? Did you know the making of these charts were a fulfilment of Habakkuk 2: 2-4? And that Sister White states they (charts) were “directed by the hand of the Lord” and they contain “solid, eternal truth of the foundation that was laid”. And the “truth once proclaimed cannot be changed”? God designed these charts, including the Daniel 2 figure sketched on these charts.
Historians are not inspired, I agree, but; nonetheless we do use them for the purpose of tracing recorded history to see if it matches the Bible record, and if it does so precisely, then we have the true event of which we cannot go wrong. As far as the credibility of our pioneers, I encourage you to visit the Habakkuk menu to read Sister White’s endorsement on these pioneers’ particular works (books) and their characters. Very worthy of notice and careful consideration.
Lastly, for sake of space and repetition, I have not quoted much Scripture throughout the website since one can go to the Daniel, Revelation, Ezekiel, Psalms, Joel menus to see the “new light” of last time events. But, I certainly can make more effort to add more text. Thanks for the suggestion.
I will send you my address via your email address as I would enjoy seeing what treasures you have found.
Thanks again for taking time and interest in our site and we pray that as you continue to study, God will bless you, and continue to unfold his beautiful gems of truth to your understanding— of which we are all striving to gain.
All to His Glory and in the Blessed Hope,
Melinda
PS- We have one brand new copy of DAR by Uriah Smith. Would you be interested in reading it? If so, we would be glad to send to you free of charge.
One more thought Brother C … in reference to your question on the rivers by Babylon as being future. One of the rivers by Babylon is the Euphrates (representing Turkish power) of which will be dried up (Rev 16:12) under the 6th plague. Please see pdf “Revelaltion Chapter 16” document under the Revelation menu for more explanation and biblical cross references. This cross-references with the future prophecy of Joel 1:14-20.
Please also see Revelation Chapter 9 pdf and the document below it entitled, “The Doom of Turkey…”
hello Darrel and Melinda I have Lots of related SDA history on Daniel 11 ,1700`s to 1955 if you would like ? where to send it too ?

Hello Darell and Mélinda,
It Always a pleasure to testify about the way the Lord is using this website to bring forth light to the World. Ever since i discovered this holyspirit-inspired site, i have learnt so many end of Times prophecies.
Along with habakkuk 2, which i was given in Dreams and visions three different tlmes, i have bien given Psalms 83 and Ezéchiel 32 once . I found valuable information on this site about many other Bible scripture verses , which the Spirit explained to me in the past, since i was not spiritualy mature .
I strongly recommend this site to anyone that hunger and thirst for rigtheousness.
In the coming future i will also testify about people that i met on the field preaching the gospel.
Keeping while waiting for Jesus
A. Moyo
Thank you for your beautiful and encouraging testimony Brother Apollin. It’s thrilling to see how the Lord is using folks like you to share the gospel in earth’s final hours. May you continue to be inspired with the hope of our Saviour’s promises as He attends your solemn work. You are indeed a faithful watchman on the walls of Zion: waiting, watching, praying and working– giving the trumpet a certain sound!
