This Nation Will Cause Global Catastrophe

In this third episode of the AD panel study on the Middle East, “This Nation Will Cause Global Catastrophe,” MacKenzie Drebit, Wendy Goubej, Jacob Downs, and Tabea Drebit uncover the role of Turkey in the final events of Earth’s history. Could the fire-breathing locusts described in Joel and Revelation 9 represent a literal nation? Is the east wind in Scripture a symbol of war, destruction, and divine judgment? This study connects the locusts, the four winds, and the sealing of God’s people—pointing to a soon-coming global crisis.

Drawing from Daniel 11:44–45, Revelation 9, and Joel 1–2, the team shows how these prophecies, once central to the Advent movement, are now being ignored or spiritualized away. Ellen White called the 1840 fulfillment of Revelation 9 one of the strongest evidences of prophetic truth, yet modern interpretations undermine this foundation. 

This episode is a wake-up call to return to the old paths and the historic pillars of Adventism. The four winds are about to be released. The third woe is near. Will you be sealed, or swept away? The time to study, prepare, and take God at His word is now!
