EARTHQUAKES
– there are 10 prophesies in the scriptures. They have become much more
frequent in latter days.
DESOLATIONS
– (D&C 29:8) 8 Wherefore the decree hath gone forth from the Father that
they shall be agathered in unto one place upon the face of this land, to bprepare their hearts and be prepared in all things against the
day when ctribulation and desolation are sent forth upon the wicked.
this
refers to natural disasters – tsunamis, earthquakes, drought, fires, etd. Elder
Oaks in 2005 told the seventies that this is the “time to hasten missionary
work”.
There
are 3 references where the signs of the times are compared to labor pains. The pains
start small and keep increasing in frequency and intensity and DON’T STOP until
the child is born.
WICKEDNESS
will abound – 82%of couple live together; increased violence, gangs – their motto
is to kill, rape, and control. The sin that finally destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah was homosexuality.
LOVE
OF MEN WILL WAX COLD – as in abortion. Now 1 in 4 women have had an abortion.
FALSE PROPHETS – this includes break-offs from our church – apostates will use sorcery which is an imitation of miracles.
WARS
AND RUMORS OF WARS – right now there are 40 different conflicts going on.
JEWS
WILL GATHER TO ISREAL – 7 million Jews have already moved to Israel
GOSPEL
PREACHED IN ALL WORLD – China won’t accept missionaries, but exchange students
who came here are being baptized by the droves, then they return to China and share.
Missionaries aren’t allowed in N Korea, Iran, Afganistan, etc., but the gospel
is all over the internet and they can’t keep that out. D&C 84:62 - 62 Therefore, ago ye into all the world; and unto whatsoever place
ye cannot go ye shall send, that the testimony may go from you into all
the world unto every creature.
MEN’S
HEARTS WILL FAIL THEM – top cause of death is heart attack. Other ways hearts fail is suicide, depression,
etc.
SICKNESS
WILL COVER THE LAND – pestilence, COVID, DELTA, etc.
DESCENDANTS
OF SLAVES (remnants) WILL VEX THE NATIONS – Black lives matter, blacks rising
up, rioting, etc.
HAILSTORMS
D&C 29 – it will destroy crops of the earth. Everything in the storehouse
in SLC is for non-members because members have been warned to prepare and store
food and supplies. Quote, “after the red cross goes the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints.”
SAINTS
GATHER TO ZION – to the New Jerusalem. A city will be built before the 2nd
coming. A place of protection but not everyone will be called/asked to go.
BATTLE
OF ARMAGEDDON – almost every prophet has spoken of the last battle. LDS will be
the ony people not at war one with another - D&C 45:69 - 69 And there shall be agathered unto it out of every bnation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that
shall not be at cwar one with another. Rev 9:16 “"The number of
the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their
number."
200
million soldiers will be at war. They will lay siege on Jerusalem and cut them
off so they can’t receive supplies. It will rain down hail stones the size of volleyballs;
Then Christ will come down to save them.
LDS
TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM – the site has been chosen
NO
RAINBOW: This is a sign of drought. Joseph Smith said, “I have asked of the
Lord concerning His coming. He said, “in the days of Noah, I set a bow in the
Heavens as a sign and token that in any year that the bow should be seen – the Lord
would not come, but thee should be seed time and harvest during that year. But
whenever you see the bow withdrawn, it shall be a token that there shall be
famine, pestilence, and great distress among the nations and that the coming of
the Messiah is not far distant.”
SIGNS
IN HEAVENS – skies will look different. The sign is given 8 times – sun darkened,
moon turned to blood, stars falling. The earth was in a terrestrial neighborhood.
When Adam fell, the earth fell. Before the 2nd coming, the earth
will return to the terrestrial neighborhood. The earth will be moved from this
orbit. The earth will tremble like a drunken man – Isaiah – earth will be
moved. (this is after the war)

Matthew
24 – talks about the rapture – Left Behind: The Movie (free

those
left behind will burn. Whether we are taken depends on the light we have.
Those
lifted up to meet Christ – little children, all living the terrestrial law –
honest, morally clean, all the faithful including LDS members who keep their covenants.
Then
will be the resurrection of the righteous – all children and all others since
Christ who qualify for the Celestial Kingdom. Joseph Smith will be the first
resurrected in this resurrection. Resurrection is a Priesthood ordinance. Those
who died before the Savior resurrected, resurrected with Him.
Then
the earth will be renewed and become a paradise again. The continents will
return together before the days of Peleg. Then the millennium will begin. Thessalonians
– we will return to the newly remodeled, newly paradisiacal glory of the earth
with a shout! (Enoch city will return to the Gulf of Mexico – Moses 7
Watch
Neal Anderson’s conf talk – In the Lord’s Prayer, He prayed for the 2nd
coming. "May we prepare for His coming by rehearsing these glorious
events over and over in our own minds and with those we love, and may His
prayer be our prayer: “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in
heaven.”
"Thy Kingdom Come", By Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of
the Twelve Apostles

"When
the testimony of the Elders ceases to be given, and the Lord says to them,
“Come home; I will now preach my own sermons to the nations of the earth,”...
"You will hear of magnificent cities sinking in the earth... The sea will
heave itself beyond its bounds, engulfing mighty cities..." (Discourses
of Brigham Young, chapter 10, pg.111)
We
should pray for the 2nd coming and look forward to it. We need to
prepare spiritually as well as physically.
Christ
will appear to
1.
Adam Ondi Ahman
2.
To the Jews – they will accept Him; He will end
Armageddon
3.
Then to the whole world. All will see His face – we will
see it as a scroll opening up
