Adventists Are Right That Prophecy Is Conditional

Prophecy is often conditional, but it's the actions of recipients that determine what happens. If righteous men who were promised a blessing turn from God and fall into sin, then they forfeit the blessing. And if wicked men who God warned to shape up, then he will cancel the curse against them. But in order to apply this principle to Ellen's 1856 prediction, we would have to infer something really remarkable. The plagues of the last day and the second coming are major world events that will affect billions of people given the current world population.
