For two years past, the Lord has shown me in vision, repeatedly,that it is contrary to the Bible to make any provision for our temporal wants in the time of trouble.
This site has all 8 Bible quotes and all 53 non-duplicate quotes of "time of trouble" in the Spirit of Prophecy (SOP) by Ellen White up to 1881.
The site's name is, as you may have guessed (duh!):
This "time of trouble" of which you speak is AFTER probation closes of course, this is when the saints "bread and water will be sure". For a 11x17 Last Day Event Chart with necessary instructions, please send request to webmaster at the following website.
Yes, the Time of Trouble such as never was since the world began, will be after the close of probation. We should prepare for the time when our intercessor steps out of the most holy place, and we live in the sight of a holy God without an intercessor.
Many of us will die for our faith during the time of trouble, and miss translation, but receive the glory of martyrdom. Or are the saints somehow exempt from pursecution, and our "bread and water will be sure" as some have said? Which is it?
There will no doubt be many martyrs before Christ throws down the censer and says "It is done". BUt after that time, there will be no more martyrs. Of course that means that Jesus will return in the clouds not too long after that time :)

Brother one may wonder why there are three periods referred to as the "time of trouble" in the SOP. IIn fact, several other prophecies come in steps of increasing intensity. The "little time of trouble" involves the things that are happening in the world during the loud dry. The "time of Jacob's trouble" is the internal agony experienced by the saints for three and a half days prior to their deliverance. (Rev. 1l:ll.) The "great time of trouble" is the pouring out of the plagues-the wrath of God unmingled with mercy.[ There will be no more killing of God's people] The first six plagues are concentrated into 30 days (Dan. 12:ll with Rev. 11) and the last one is falling when Jesus comes.
A complete description of the seven last plagues is found in Rev. 15 and 16. A comparison with the seven trumpets of Rev. 8 and 9 shows that they are parallel with the plagues as if they were a warning or an announcement of each one in advance. Reminiscent of Moses and Aaron announcing the plagues on Egypt.
