No, I disagree.
She consistantly says the sealing takes place PRIOR to the plagues.
The latter rain takes place PRIOR to the final sealing.



Both scripture (Rev. 7) and EGW say that the four angels hold the four winds of strife until all the saints are sealed, then they are released and the plagues begin.



There are more quotes -- but from these we can see the sequence.

1. The latter rain falls.
2. The sealing is completed.
3. Christ's work in the heavenly sanctuary is finished
4. The angels let loose the four winds
5. The plagues fall.


The quote you gave does NOT upset this sequence.
If you read it in context you will see she is talking about a hail storm they were in.

Again the context is ..... out.
The hailstorm reminded her that during the seventh plague there will be hail "the weight of a talent".

According to all her other writings, by that time the angel's have long let go of the four winds, and the wrath of God is poured out without mercy upon those who do not have the seal of God.

BUT NOW (BEFORE Christ's work in the sanctuary is completed) these judgements (as in the hail they experenced) are still mixed with mercy. The winds of strife are still being held.

Read the WHOLE passage in 15MR 220-226 It's an urgent appeal to wake up NOW, to proclaim the gospel NOW, while the angels are still holding the four winds.

There is no need at all to bring in strange sequences from a passage out of context that upset the clear writings.

The seventh trumpet began to sound in 1844.

Thus "time shall be no longer" means the prophetic timelines ENDED in 1844.

Revelation 10 describes the great disappointment.

After the disappointment the seventh trumpet began to sound.

During the seventh trumpet "the temple in heaven is opened and the ark of the covenant is seen".
When?

William Miller didn't have the sanctuary message. William Miller thought Christ was returning in 1844. So of course he had to interpert this to fit his understanding.

EGW, as I showed in my last post, realized that the seventh trumpet was announcing the day of atonement when Christ entered the MOST HOLY PLACE to do His final work.
The seventh trumpet begins in 1844 and covers the time period from 1844 when Christ goes before the Father to be given the kingdom, (see Dan. 7:10-11) till He comes to claim the kingdom.

But there are NO timelines to mark how long probation continues to last or when it will end, or how long the plagues last or the Sunday law lasts etc. etc.

She clearly states over and over again that there are no timelines after 1844.

Actually she has more to say concerning Rev.10.



And notice even the quotes you gave show that she did NOT agree with Miller:

The times, time and half a time in Daniel 12 connect to
the times, time and dividing a time in Daniel 7, they connect to the 1260 days, and the 42 months ALL of which refer to the 1260 years from 538 to 1798.

I agree. The amount of time between the close of probation and the moment people are caught up to meet Jesus in the air will be short - probably less than a few weeks. Whether or not the "number of days" begins when probation closes or when the Father announces the day and hour of Jesus' arrival wouldn't matter so much if the entire period is less than a few weeks.

I agree with this quote and all of the others as well. Like I say, we have to reconcile these with her other equally important statements: For example, the trumpets and seals and plagues are all future according to some of her statements. Yes, the seventh trumpet began to sound in 1844 but she applies all seven to the future as well.

But regarding the holding of the winds, if the trumpets are in the past, the winds were released long ago because the angels loosen their hold at trumpet number 1 and completely release them when commanded to by the voice from the horns of the golden altar at the sixth. That appears to correspond with the time the sealing is complete.

Yes, the people won't have a message on a time for the return of Christ. But, thankfully, scripture assures us of the prophetic gift to the very end.

In my effort to harmonize her statements I've shifted back and forth on whether the plagues and trumpets are concurrent. Most people who see a future application to the trumpets place the plagues after the trumpets because of Ellen White's statements that put the close of probation at the start of the first plague.

It's her recurring statements that equate the Loud Cry with Armageddon that, right or wrong, cause me to think they may be concurrent. Have another look at Dedication's comment and her statement:


This is one of a handful of statements where she equates Armageddon with the Loud Cry of Revelation 18. Have a look at the others as you're able by doing a search of 'Armageddon'.

On the other hand, Miller applied the first six plagues from 1529 to his day - the 1840's. If we use his application as a template for a future application, then the trumpets do start well before the plagues. I'll try to develop some of these ideas more as I have time.

I’m going to quote some of Wm. Miller’s thoughts on Armageddon below. I’d urge you my friends not to dismiss Miller out of hand. I’m not endorsing everything he says, but given the high regard of the Holy Spirit for Miller’s work and the ringing endorsements of Ellen White of Miller’s prophetic insight, we run too high a risk if we’re dismissive of his thoughts.


Miller believed, like Ellen White, that Armageddon was not so much a physical battle as the time when the Lord separates the sheep from the goats. Miller, speaking of Armageddon, says “His own right hand shall save us while his last plague shall be poured out upon the head of his enemies.”

He goes on in the next paragraph to say he believed the seventh plague would be poured out beginning ‘about the year 1840’! Interesting. Why 1840? He doesn’t tell us here or anywhere else that I know of. But 1840 is three years before 1843, which is the year he expected the 2300 days to end when he gave this lecture. What scriptures refer to about a three year period before the return of Christ?

If you are referring to Revelation 19, isn't that at the second coming and therefore not relevant to pouring out the plagues?

Is that because you believe and trust that all of that can happen in a short time, but you cannot believe and trust that all that can happen in a number of weeks?
