Josiah Litch
Dr. Josiah Litch, a 19th Century physician and itinerant minister for the Methodist Episcopal Church, accurately predicted two years in advance, the fall of the Ottoman Empire in August of 1840 (a formidable alliance of Arab nations governed from Turkey). This was an exact fulfillment of Bible prophecy in “Revelation” chapter nine. Continuing his research, two months before the event he predicted the exact day, August 11, 1840, and it was widely circulated in Christian journals and newspapers. If was from this point the first angels message went to every missionary sataion in the whole world. (See Great Controversy p611) This prediction brought thousands to the fold and the message of Christ s coming was widely circulated.
