In respect to last-day events, The Great Controversy is our best road map.  Although it may not cross every "t" or dot every "i" with respect to all that might occur, it paints the big picture.  And we may well swerve off the road if we try to customize prophecies to accommodate near-term events.  Prophecy isn't given so that we may know in minute detail what lies in the future.  Rather, it has been given so that we might recognize it when we get there.
