Maranatha - The lord is coming: May 24th
Most people have never heard of this prophecy… but when the Ottoman Empire fell on August 11, 1840, it fulfilled Revelation 9:15 to the exact day. That’s not guesswork. That’s God’s precision clock striking right on time.
In today’s devotional, we unpack how Josiah Litch, a humble preacher of the Second Advent, publicly predicted the fall of the Ottoman Empire two years in advance. Based on the 150-year and 391-year prophetic time periods of Revelation 9, he declared the empire would collapse in August 1840. And it did—to the very date he named. On August 11, Turkey surrendered control to European powers, and the prophetic timeline clicked forward with divine accuracy.
This wasn’t just a historical event—it was a megaphone from Heaven. A fulfilled prophecy that gave massive momentum to the early Advent movement, confirming that every line of Scripture can be trusted. God’s plans are unfolding right on schedule. Are you watching the clock?
