El Centinela is a Spanish language version of Signs of the Times magazine. It is published monthly by Pacific Press, a Seventh-day Adventist publishing house. El Centinela is one of the oldest Christian magazines in Spanish.
El Centinela has the purpose of bringing attention to the second coming of Jesus Christ by presenting the truths found in the Bible.
El Centinela is also available in English as Signs of the Times.
[edit] History
El Centinela was first published in 1903 by Brenton E. Connerly in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico under the name El Centinela de la Verdad ("Sentry of the Truth"). It moved in March 1909 to Panama where it joined with the magazine Caribbean Watchman. It ceased publication when a fire burned the building on March 23, 1911.
In July 1919 Pacific Press began to publish a new magine called El Centinela. Initially it was a quarterly publication but became monthly in 1920. The first director was Ernesto J. Johnson.
At times it has been published in Mountain View, California, Panama and most recently Nampa, Idaho.
