Exploring the Biblical basis of Adventist Prophetic understanding.
Revelation 14:6-12
"And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that 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 waters.
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...
Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation's angels proclaim the last messages of warning to the inhabitants of earth.
What do they mean?
The historicist approach, which says the biblical prophecies address the entire course of the Christian era, is the foundation upon which Adventists have interpreted the prophetic books. The book of Daniel is the key to this approach, for merely identifying the historical powers symbolized in Daniel leads inevitably to the historicist approach that sees prophecy fulfilling from the prophet's time to the end.
