The Seven Last Plagues
Final Events: Knowing Is Not Enough
(2021)
Abstract
The Bible’s teaching on the seven last plagues is disturbing for several reasons. On the one hand, it seems to undercut the Christian message of a God whose essence, or core characteristic, is love. If God is love, and the wicked need to be destroyed, why use plagues, and then 7 of them, one after the other? On the other hand, the Bible’s teaching on the plagues is unsettling to the sense of security of believers. The 7 last plagues will be poured on the earth, the sea, the springs of waters, and the sun. How will they affect believers who are alive when these plagues fall?
This chapter deals with these and other questions from the point of view of the Bible and the teachings of Ellen G. White.
