Episode #65: How Close Are We To The Saviors' Return W/Ken Peterson
Well here we are, the economy is shaky, we are in at least a proxy war Russia, China is rattling its saber threatening to invade Taiwan, Canada has begun euthanasia for depressed teens, and here at home there is a large portion of our society that thinks gender mutilation of our children is a good idea, oh and that’s on top of abortion still happening. It feels like the whole world is in commotion and descending into a dark chaos. Now it is true that we don’t know the day or hour the Savior will make His return, but He did give us some signs to keep a look out for. On this episode I have Ken Peterson back on the podcast. In our conversation we go over a list of signs that have been given to watch out for to get an idea of how close we might be. Now I am not a fan of the game of “pin the tail on the apocalypse” but as we go through this list I think you will see we are quite a ways down the road. We ultimately end on high note as we talk about what it will be like to meet the Savior.

Well, here we are.
The economy is shaky.
2
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:10,200
We are in at least a proxy war
with Russia.
3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,500
China is rattling at Sabre.
Threatening to invade Taiwan
4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,600
Canada has begun euthanasia for
depressed, teens, here at home.
5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,000
There's a large portion of the
society that thinks gender
6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
mutilation of our children's, a
good idea.
7
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:25,300
Oh, and that's on top of
abortion, still happening.
8
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:29,000
It feels like the whole world is
in commotion and descending into
9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,900
dark chaos.
Now, it is true that we don't
10
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:34,900
know the day or the hour, the
save Fear will make his return,
11
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:38,500
but he did give us some signs to
keep a look out for on this
12
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:40,600
episode.
I have Ken Peterson back on the
13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,200
podcast and our conversation.
We go over a list of signs that
14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,800
have been given to watch out for
to get an idea of just how close
15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,700
we might be to the savior's
return.
16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,700
Now, I'm not a fan of playing
the game pin, the tail on the
17
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:56,400
apocalypse, but as we go through
this list, I think you'll see
18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:01,100
we're quite far down that road.
Stick around as we examine last
19
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:04,700
days, events on this episode of
the Mormon Renegade podcast.
20
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:10,000
Because of your generosity last
year, I was able to buy better
21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,400
audio equipment and software.
I can't tell you how much it
22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,100
meant to me.
That not only did you spend your
23
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,800
time here with me on the podcast
but also that you found enough
24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,600
value.
In what I'm doing that you
25
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,500
donated the podcast upgraded
this year, I want to continue to
26
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:26,800
grow.
Now I want to add video to the
27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,400
podcast continue to help you my
guess a myself connect better
28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,000
through the show.
The other feature I'm working on
29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,600
for this podcast is Something I
have to remain vague about for
30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,000
now.
But what I can say is that it's
31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,700
something that will help us
better connect as fundamentalist
32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,300
and traditional LDS.
Folks, now to get that equipment
33
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:49,900
for the video content, I want to
do and to build the
34
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:52,900
infrastructure for the other
project with this podcast
35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,300
donations would certainly be
welcome or you can go to Mormon

00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:05,800
either of those two things,
Things.
40
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,100
I totally get it.

Again, thank you for everything
43
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:16,200
you do as well as for listening
to the podcast.
44
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,100
You're listening to the Mormon
Renegade podcast.
45
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,800
Can my man, welcome back, dude.
Thanks for coming back on.
46
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:57,900
Yes, but looking forward to it.
So when we got done with our
47
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:02,000
last conversation, we were
talking just about like an X
48
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,500
kind of stuff.
And, and a couple days later
49
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:07,700
you'd message me and said, you
know what, I actually have a
50
00:03:07,708 --> 00:03:10,200
checklist and my eyes lit up
man.
51
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,900
The car with my wife and I was I
actually I actually you know,
52
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,300
just kind of leaned back in the
chair because she was driving
53
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:22,900
And I was like oh yeah I know
exactly where we're going next.
54
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,700
No I just find it super
fascinating and for a guy who
55
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:32,900
studied as much as you and has
put so much effort into your
56
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:35,000
gospel studies.
I'm really looking forward to
57
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,900
this.
Well, there is nothing more
58
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:41,300
appropriate for us to discuss I
think.
59
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:46,600
Yeah, in today's world which
seems to feel less and less and
60
00:03:46,608 --> 00:03:50,700
less stable with each passing
day, but I was listening to one
61
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:54,100
of your podcast was no the gas
and you said the word checklist
62
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:57,200
and I thought, oh my gosh, I
just put together one of those
63
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,700
from our gospel Doctrine class.
That's awesome.
64
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:04,600
So that's been well, we were in
Isaiah in the Old Testament, you
65
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,700
know, last year.
Speaking of the end times and
66
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,000
and I kind of had a mental
checklist but then I thought kid
67
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,399
for your class funny just put it
all down and then go through the
68
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:22,400
list and check off the things
that have happened.
69
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,200
Things that will happen at the
second coming and the things
70
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,600
that haven't happened yet and
that will give us a snapshot of
71
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,800
where we are, and that's what I
did.
72
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:37,200
Of course, is called LDS last
days mom has the most complete
73
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,600
listing I could find and that's
where I do this list from and I
74
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,600
have links to each of those
Until I print it out, did my key
75
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,600
to the checks, the red check for
things that have happened.
76
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,500
Already the blue checks, the
won't happen till Christ comes
77
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:55,600
and then the put a plus Mark by
those things that are left and
78
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,500
we're going to look at that
together at the end here.
79
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:01,600
And then you and I are gonna
have to place bets on when we
80
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,100
think it's going to happen.
Do I like it will get a pool
81
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:06,300
going.
Well, just get a pool going,
82
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:09,500
will involve the listeners.
I don't, I'm not sure what we're
83
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:12,800
actually going to put in that
pool because I mean, money won't
84
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:16,900
Be worth anything here, right?
It's just bragging rights alone.
85
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:19,800
But so two quick questions for
you.
86
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,900
One is, would you mind sharing
that list?
87
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:23,300
Is that something I can post in
the show?
88
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:24,400
No, please do.
Please do.
89
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,700
Okay, perfect.
And then my next question is you
90
00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:31,200
get the same kind of feelings?
Like, I do more and more
91
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,700
frequently, like you're almost
waiting for another shoe to
92
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:36,000
drop.
Every day.
93
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,300
Yeah, everything.
In fact, in my mind I call it
94
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:42,100
reading the tea leaves, or
trying to predict how the
95
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:47,400
dominoes are going to fall.
Because we're aware of political
96
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,800
situations, conflicts that are
going on in the world and
97
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,300
economic things.
You've talked about on your
98
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:58,500
podcast and I am constantly
trying to work out how any
99
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:03,500
combination of any of those
things could cause The trauma of
100
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:06,200
the tribulation that has been
prophesied to come.
101
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:12,600
How I am not a fatalist.
I'm not a doomsday or but I am a
102
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,700
Latter-Day Saint.
I do believe and and I don't
103
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:20,100
relish terrible things
happening.
104
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,400
I was in a depression when
Russia invaded Ukraine.
105
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,500
I just I was in a depression for
at least two days.
106
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:27,800
Why are they, why are they so
stupid?
107
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:31,100
What could they possibly hope to
accomplish in the law?
108
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:37,000
Ang renewal that kind of stuff
bothers me, but My heart says if
109
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,600
Christ is going to come, bring
it on.
110
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:42,600
Let's get it over with.
Let's do this, right?
111
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:45,800
You and your kind of like I am,
right?
112
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,700
Well, and what part of it is
just laziness.
113
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:51,300
I'm not going to lie about that,
right?
114
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:56,900
Like when the end times come, it
seems like a lot of work, right?
115
00:06:56,900 --> 00:07:00,100
Ken.
But yeah, I mean when, when
116
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:04,900
those end times come, I've often
thought You know, I'm going to
117
00:07:04,907 --> 00:07:08,300
be down in the basement tearing
into my year supply of Doritos,
118
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:09,800
right?
That's going to be my go Q
119
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,200
Supply.
Right?
120
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:13,600
What is it with you and Doritos?
And I don't know, man.
121
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,000
It's just good stuff, right?
I don't know.
122
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,100
It's, it really is manna from
heaven.
123
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:21,200
I'm waiting for Revelation on
that further, but it should be,
124
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:23,100
but anyway.
Yeah, no.
125
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:26,500
I, yeah, my kids will be like,
where's Dad?
126
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:29,200
Well, I think he's licking the
Dorito dust off of his fingers
127
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,400
down in the basement.
He's trying to cope, right?
128
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,000
So but Yeah, no.
It's it is it's a weird time and
129
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,700
and I don't remember time quite
like this right where there's
130
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:45,100
sometimes I look and I think
we're a hair's breadth away.
131
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:49,500
It could really only take one
event to cause all of that
132
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:51,100
tribulation.
We've read about.
133
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,100
I don't think I can remember a
time where it.
134
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:57,500
Everything felt just tenuous.
Yes.
135
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,700
Like, I could wait a minute,
it's hearts are failing.
136
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:04,100
And you see that?
Yep, I could wake up tomorrow
137
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:09,100
and if the economy had plunged
down 5,000 points, it wouldn't
138
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:11,700
surprise me, right?
I'd be like, that's about right,
139
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,100
we're about there.
And there are they surprised
140
00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:16,600
that we're still thriving as
well as we are.
141
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,000
I know, obviously, I know, I
thought the punishment this
142
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:23,100
economy's taken I know, and I
keep.
143
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,200
So, I keep waiting for that.
And then you got all the war,
144
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,400
you know, the wars going on
there and Ukraine and Russia and
145
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,900
China's rattling.
Its Sabers I just read today
146
00:08:31,900 --> 00:08:35,200
that we're sending some
strategic missiles over to
147
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:41,500
Taiwan then and it's just all
kind of lining up right?
148
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:45,200
And and I look at that and I'm
like okay times getting short
149
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:49,100
you know let's let's strap in
and let's buckle up and let's
150
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:52,200
get ready for whatever is
whatever is going to happen.
151
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:58,900
So I feel like this checklist
idea is great because I don't
152
00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:02,000
think God deals with time the
same way we write.
153
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
I think, right?
I think, when you're talking
154
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,500
about last day's events, I think
the key word there is events,
155
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:10,400
right?
When you pass this mile marker
156
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,600
on the highway to Armageddon, so
to speak.
157
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:16,200
Yeah, point it's going to be and
that's why it's the checklist
158
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,200
girl.
Yeah, I don't think anybody's
159
00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:22,200
ever been successful with pin
the tail on the apocalypse,
160
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,900
right?
Yeah, it is a loser's game.
161
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
You know, there are a number of
those circulating on YouTube,
162
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,900
some really good ones.
Don't need any my favorite who
163
00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:32,200
would really worked out the time
in the signs, and he wasn't
164
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,100
claiming that his was the
answer, but it was pretty
165
00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:38,600
compelling.
So I kept that with me and was
166
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,900
sitting back my charity popcorn
thinking 2021 was going to be
167
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:43,700
the Midway Point, never
happened.
168
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,200
Yep.
Sounds like, oh, shoot, you
169
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,000
know, here we go.
But and that was before my
170
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,500
checklist.
Okay.
171
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,800
So, I know a little better now.
And I don't want to give it away
172
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,400
yet, but there is one sign that
is the alarm Bell.
173
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,800
That has a very specific amount
of time.
174
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,200
It's a very obvious sign and a
very specific amount of time
175
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,400
left associated with it.
That's, that's the one I'm
176
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,000
waiting for.
We'll talk to them.
177
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:14,900
Thank you before we go there
with the what and the win, I
178
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:16,900
think it's important.
We talk about the why?
179
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:21,500
Because I have many people in my
circle of friends and neighbors
180
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,100
who are not necessarily Really
comfortable talking about all of
181
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:29,300
this.
They say they believe it's
182
00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:30,000
pointless.
You know.
183
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,400
No man knoweth the day or the
hour.
184
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,300
Why worry about it?
Well I want to tell you tell you
185
00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:40,700
why worry about it.
Can you enable the screen
186
00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:42,900
sharing?
Absolutely give me just one
187
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:47,700
second here to bring this bad
boy up and all participants.
188
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:50,700
And you should be ready to rock
my men.
189
00:10:51,500 --> 00:11:03,000
Thank you.
So, I love what the hell.
190
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,300
The doctrine covenants talks
about what we're talking about?
191
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:11,100
It's called a great and Dreadful
day of the Lord, which is
192
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:16,700
critical.
Jesus Christ, gave us the, why
193
00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:19,400
learn the parable of the fig
tree with branches tender and
194
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,400
putteth forth leaves, you know
that summer is nigh.
195
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:23,600
So likewise ye when ye shall
see.
196
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,800
All these things know that it is
near.
197
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,400
Even at the doors verily, I say
unto you this generation, which
198
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,700
has been misinterpreted.
He's talking about the
199
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:35,000
generation.
He's talking about, right?
200
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,200
Yes, we would say that
generation shall not pass till
201
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,500
all these things be fulfilled.
But of that day and hour
202
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:43,600
knoweth, no man, no, not the
angels of heaven, but my father
203
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,300
only.
But he says, we need to be aware
204
00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:48,300
of that.
So we can at least recognize the
205
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:50,600
season.
It's happening.
206
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,300
Now are turning Covenant 6011
unto.
207
00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:58,000
You, it shall be given to know
the signs of the times and the
208
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,800
signs of the coming of the son
of man.
209
00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:04,300
Right, it's important, Joseph
Smith, Matthew the old, I speak
210
00:12:04,300 --> 00:12:07,100
these things and he for the
elects sake, and you also shall
211
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:11,500
hear of wars and rumors of wars.
See that you be not troubled for
212
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:15,100
all I have told you must come to
pass, but the end is not yet.
213
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,700
One of the reasons we have, this
signs is so that our hearts will
214
00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:23,000
not fail us.
Anyway, going on first Nephi
215
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000
2022, 17, wherefore, he will
preserve the righteous by his
216
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,500
power even if even, if it's will
be the fullness of his Wrath.
217
00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:33,000
To come, which is what will
happen.
218
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,200
It is coming.
It will meet reservists time
219
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,900
times will be cut short,
otherwise it would self-destruct
220
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,600
and the righteous be preserved.
Even at the destruction of their
221
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,600
enemies.
By fire, that will cleanse the
222
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,600
Earth where for the righteous
need, not fear for thus, saith
223
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,700
the prophet, they shall be saved
even if it's obvious by fire.
224
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,600
So, the other reason the sides
are given is the the righteous
225
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,000
will not fear when these
terrible things will inevitably
226
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,500
occur.
Mmm-hmm I love how the APD of
227
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,700
Mormonism encapsulates.
What we've been talking about?
228
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:07,700
A particular interest is the
present dispensation of the
229
00:13:07,708 --> 00:13:10,700
fullness of times, our science
pertaining, the second coming of
230
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:13,100
Christ.
The lord has revealed the signs
231
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:16,400
of the time to guide the
faithful in their preparation
232
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,600
for the great and Dreadful day
of the Lord that is for Christ's
233
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,400
second coming here.
Thus the faithful, the faithful
234
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,400
watch for the signs, so that
when the hour comes, it will be
235
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,400
great.
Not vengeful.
236
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:32,800
To us.
Yep and so when I have older
237
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:39,000
children who are necessarily
Believers and you like all of
238
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,800
us, there's concern and Dread
about what on Earth is happening
239
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,900
in.
This world, everything is upside
240
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:52,300
down evil being called, good and
good, being called evil and what
241
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:54,800
I wish I could give them is the
gift of Hope.
242
00:13:56,700 --> 00:14:00,800
That the restored gospel in the
signs of the times, give us the
243
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,300
millennial era which to a
non-believer is a fairy tale,
244
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,200
right?
That's the greatest of all fairy
245
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,900
tales when you read about the
pair to cycle state of the
246
00:14:12,900 --> 00:14:17,300
Earth.
It will be beyond anything we
247
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:22,800
can imagine.
In that section, in my book that
248
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,700
we talked about, you know,
months ago.
249
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,400
You read those descriptions of
what it is to live in a
250
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,800
terrestrial state.
And I can't wait.
251
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,800
I said part of the reason I
wanted to happen sooner or still
252
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,700
the my own kids won't have to go
to the hill that that will
253
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:39,400
precede.
The second coming in any case?
254
00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:45,200
That's where this is coming from
Robert Miller, el dia scholar,
255
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:50,400
wrote a very interesting and
timely article back in 2014
256
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:54,900
about five myths, concerning the
second coming, which I think
257
00:14:54,900 --> 00:14:59,100
have misled some people.
He said there are certain
258
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:02,200
misleading Concepts,
unsupportable ideas, miss that
259
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,100
persist among our members.
Recently, I wrote a five myths
260
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:08,200
about the Millennium, let me now
suggests a mistake, your Notions
261
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,500
have encountered about the
second coming of Price, when I
262
00:15:11,508 --> 00:15:13,600
think it's when we go into these
because they're very common, I
263
00:15:13,608 --> 00:15:16,300
think you'll recognize some of
these myth.
264
00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:18,900
Number one.
Every person on Earth will have
265
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:21,100
heard the message of the
restored gospel before the Lord
266
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:25,700
returns in glory.
You hear that a lot, right?
267
00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:28,000
People use it as a cop out so
they don't have to worry that
268
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,800
he's coming.
Yes, everyone will have the
269
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,100
opportunity to hear it, but that
opportunity will come during the
270
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:38,900
Millennium.
And if you hear other comments
271
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:41,400
from General Authorities, that
the gospel has been Reached in
272
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,100
every nation even if not
officially right.
273
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:49,200
But he makes the point in
addition, the work of gathering
274
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,700
which is really missionary work,
the process by which people are
275
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:53,700
brought together to Christ.
His gospel is doctor in his
276
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:56,100
church and to the congregation's
and faithful.
277
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,200
It will go forward in the great
Millennium.
278
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:00,800
Every word and were already
introduced to it.
279
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,800
We wouldn't have that work to do
so obviously we don't have to
280
00:16:03,808 --> 00:16:05,300
wait for that.
That makes sense.
281
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,900
Absolutely, it doesn't.
And it almost kind of makes
282
00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:11,900
sense, right.
Because if we look at his first
283
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:17,600
coming, especially in the Book
of Mormon, There are still
284
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,100
preaching of the Gospel going
on, right?
285
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:24,500
It's absolutely, you know, it
all that the scriptures tell us
286
00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:28,100
if I'm not mistaken from The
Book of Mormon is that the
287
00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:32,100
wicked were destroyed now.
Can you be can you be a good
288
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:37,700
person and not be a Mormon?
There's an inner yeah.
289
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:41,000
Right.
So so this idea that that will
290
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,300
be the only ones around in the
Millennium.
291
00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:47,000
I think is Kind of a that's
another myth, it's another myth,
292
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
right?
Because we know that one of the
293
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:51,300
great works of the millennial
era is missionary work.
294
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,100
Yep.
Who are going to be preaching to
295
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:58,100
ourselves and Brigham actually
talks about when, when, when the
296
00:16:58,108 --> 00:17:03,900
Millennium happens and even Zion
is that there will be people who
297
00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:07,500
who don't necessarily believe
the same things we do.
298
00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:11,400
And we'll still have to continue
with our missionary work, right?
299
00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:15,099
And so, yeah, the the idea that
it's Only going to be Mormons
300
00:17:15,099 --> 00:17:18,300
that get through that period.
I think is maybe a little bit of
301
00:17:18,300 --> 00:17:20,700
a misnomer.
We may have a leg up, right?
302
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:23,800
Because we kind of know what to
expect, but that doesn't
303
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,300
necessarily negate.
The fact that we, you know, have
304
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:30,600
some work to do.
Here's the unfortunate truth
305
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,000
right now as fundamentalists and
traditional LDS folks, we can't
306
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000
expect to have accurate history
told by others because true
307
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,400
history and scholarship is
problematic for certain people.
308
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,600
And organizations, we're going
to have to do this work
309
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,700
ourselves and to do that, we
will have to support each other
310
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:52,700
in this kind of work.
Now, anybody who's anybody in
311
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:56,700
fundamentalist, circles knows
who drew Briny is, he is perhaps
312
00:17:56,700 --> 00:17:59,900
the most prolific author.
Within Mormon fundamentalism.
313
00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:02,100
Drew's newest project is
something.
314
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:05,800
I think all Mormons can benefit
from he is in the process of
315
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,800
creating an annotated version of
the Doctrine and Covenants.
316
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,100
Once you have a copy of this,
you'll be able to compare
317
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:15,000
current sections with previous
versions.
318
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,300
And also what early LDS leaders
had to say about that particular
319
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:22,200
section as fundamentalists and
traditional LDS.
320
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,200
Folks, we are constantly trying
to get back into the minds of
321
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,300
the early Brethren this project,
that drusen Aged in right now is
322
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:31,900
going to be the ultimate tool to
help us do that.
323
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,700
Now because this annotated
version of the Doctrine and
324
00:18:34,700 --> 00:18:37,600
Covenants is such a massive
undertaking, Drew needs some
325
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,400
help from others, Drew's plan
for getting this annotated
326
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,800
version of the Doctrine and
Covenants out is through
327
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,800
crowdfunding the link for that
will be out April 4th if you
328
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,000
want more details sooner, go to
Drew's Facebook page and
329
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,700
messaging from there and he'll
give you all the details further
330
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:57,600
on Saturday.
April 8, I'll be releasing an
331
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,800
episode.
That talks about this project in
332
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,700
Greater detail.
So please if you feel impressed
333
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:06,000
to do so and have the means I'd
humbly ask that you reach out to
334
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Drew and support this project,
that will help Advance the
335
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,500
scholarship and true doctrine of
the restored gospel.
336
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,700
All right, so this whole idea of
us having to quote unquote.
337
00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:20,200
Walk back to Zion Jackson County
Independence.
338
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,600
Before Christ comes is
attributable to a single Source.
339
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,100
Joseph F Smith was a statement.
He made way.
340
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:34,300
Back in 1882.
He was an apostle in 1877.
341
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:41,000
I suppose I could read it when
God leaves the people back to
342
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,300
Jackson County, how will he do
it?
343
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:46,700
Let me picture to you how some
of us may be gathered and led to
344
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:50,200
Jackson County.
I think I see two or three
345
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,100
hundred thousand people wending
their way across the Great Plain
346
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,400
in during the nameless hardships
of the journey herding and
347
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,000
guarding their cattle by day.
And by night, this is one way to
348
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,600
look at it.
It is certainly a practical
349
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,400
View.
Right?
350
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:09,600
So he's giving possibilities and
clearly speaking
351
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:15,000
extemporaneously, but, like I
said his Mormons often do, they
352
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,800
don't take a stand, isolated
statement and turn it into a
353
00:20:18,808 --> 00:20:22,300
whole Doctrine from.
It's just a couple of reasons
354
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:26,400
why that cannot be a complete
prophecy.
355
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:31,400
First of all, the Book of
Revelation gives us the
356
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:37,600
dimensions of the city of Zion.
This Revelation 21 16, the city
357
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,400
lieth Foursquare.
The length is as large as the
358
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,100
breath, he measured the city,
with the Reed, twelve thousand
359
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:47,500
furlongs, the length, and the
breadth, and the height are
360
00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:54,000
equal, so it's 12,000 furlongs
square that is equal to 1000 380
361
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,800
miles.
The city of Zion encompasses the
362
00:20:56,808 --> 00:21:01,600
whole of North America.
So when we think, unless we're
363
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,800
standing in Jackson County,
we're not in PSI and we are
364
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,800
misinformed.
We're in Zion right now.
365
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,500
Hmm.
The city of Zion encompasses the
366
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:12,400
whole of North America, which
makes more sense to me.
367
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,300
Of course, zionists are the pure
in heart, but in terms of the
368
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:19,800
city itself, Which would make
sense.
369
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,600
Yeah.
That when the saints moved to
370
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,700
the Rocky Mountains, which was
prophesied, that the mountain of
371
00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:27,600
the Lord's house, shall be
established in the tops of the
372
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,500
mountains, which Inuit language
is Utah, right?
373
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:33,300
Yeah.
Which name is not assigned by
374
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:36,500
the Saints.
It was assigned by Congress that
375
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,600
we're here already, we're where
we need to be, you know,
376
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,700
certainly there with the same as
me.
377
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:45,000
Yeah, go ahead and others like
Congress.
378
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,500
Help us out with our own
prophecies.
379
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:53,300
I'm just Haha.
Yeah the other issue this is in
380
00:21:53,300 --> 00:21:56,400
the book of ether.
Highly authoritative.
381
00:21:56,500 --> 00:22:00,000
Hmm.
I've never really heard anybody
382
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:03,400
deal with this because the book
of ether makes the sequence of
383
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,600
events, crystal clear, and there
shall be a new Heaven and a new
384
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,800
Earth, and they shall be likened
to the old.
385
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,100
Save, the old have passed away
and all things have become new
386
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:22,500
and then cometh New Jerusalem.
Mmm, so the New Jerusalem will
387
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:26,500
not be re-established until
after there's a new Heaven and a
388
00:22:26,508 --> 00:22:28,200
new Earth, meaning the Earth has
been cleansed.
389
00:22:29,900 --> 00:22:32,000
And that's how do you get around
that?
390
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,000
No, it wouldn't make sense to
me.
391
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,200
Anyway, the gonna build up this
wonderful City in the center,
392
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,000
State can Jackson County and
build his magnificent Temple as
393
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,900
described by Joseph Smith.
Others only to have it burned,
394
00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:46,700
it is coming anyway, right?
Yeah.
395
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:50,800
So I'm not waiting for that to
happen, first myth, number
396
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,300
three, myth number three.
That the faithful Saints will be
397
00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:56,400
spared The Trials.
Come out calamities and changes
398
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,000
that will come upon the world
before the Savior comes.
399
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,500
Yes, Be safety in Zion, but as
Christ taught in the New
400
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:05,700
Testament, the rain falls upon
the wicked and the righteous,
401
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,100
and it's not necessarily whether
you live or die, it's whether
402
00:23:10,100 --> 00:23:15,000
you live or die in
righteousness, if number for,
403
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:17,800
you know, fruit for just a
second, going back to that other
404
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,200
one.
I find it fascinating that that
405
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,800
Mormons are so uniquely
different than the rest of
406
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,500
Christendom when it comes to our
theology.
407
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:29,700
But for whatever reason, we
decided we wanted to borrow So
408
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:32,700
from the Rapture and I have
never been able to figure that
409
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:38,200
out, because because this idea
that we're all spared you, I
410
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,300
mean, the assertion that's made
and I looked into it quite a
411
00:23:41,300 --> 00:23:44,100
bit, you know, in my religious
Journey before I became a
412
00:23:44,108 --> 00:23:47,100
Mormon, when I say, okay, where
do you get this?
413
00:23:47,700 --> 00:23:50,100
And they use that scripture out
of the New Testament, you know,
414
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:53,200
there were two in the field who
were harvesting and then one was
415
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,400
taken or whatever.
I'm like, that's an awfully
416
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,500
strong statement to make based
on what seems to be a very
417
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:06,400
subjective kind of scripture.
And, but for some reason, we
418
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,100
seem to want to have borrowed
that, I don't know if they're
419
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:11,600
kind of like me and they're
like, huh, seems like a lot of
420
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,600
work, I'm not sure I'm down for
that.
421
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,300
Well, my friend, the Rapture is
confirmed in the restored.
422
00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:24,200
Revelations, really forgot.
The Rapture is discussed in the
423
00:24:24,208 --> 00:24:27,900
Doctrine and Covenants and in
the book of Moses in some great
424
00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:31,900
detail.
We will be caught up in the air
425
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:35,800
to meet him when he comes, and
there's a very specific reason
426
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,000
for that.
The Earth will be burned at his
427
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,600
coming.
You'll Testament says, the Earth
428
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,900
will burn as an oven and all the
all the wicked will be burned as
429
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:50,500
stumble and okay, so let me let
me preface, let me go back.
430
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:52,800
So I don't think I made my point
clear and that's on me.
431
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,700
A lot of Christianity will say,
you'll be caught up before any
432
00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:01,200
of the tribulation.
Oh yes, yes.
433
00:25:01,300 --> 00:25:04,100
I see what you're saying.
Sorry, so I didn't make myself
434
00:25:04,100 --> 00:25:07,300
clear, no, I believe in this
idea of being caught up.
435
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:13,400
But yeah, of a Protestant
Rapture where you're taken out
436
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,700
of all of that before the
tribulation starts.
437
00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:20,100
I feel having enough for ya.
I find nothing in the scripture.
438
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:23,600
That supports that idea.
I agree with you, I agree with
439
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:29,100
you. my favorite reference to
being caught up in the book of
440
00:25:29,100 --> 00:25:34,900
Moses chapter 7, Starting at
verse 61 the day, she'll come to
441
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:37,700
the Earth, shall rest.
We're talking about Millennium,
442
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,300
but before that day, the heavens
shall be darkened.
443
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,300
The veil of Darkness will cover
the Earth.
444
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:45,700
Darkness is wickedness and the
heavens shall shake and also the
445
00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:49,300
Earth and great tribulations
shall be among the children of
446
00:25:49,300 --> 00:25:53,400
men, but my people will, I
preserve and righteousness.
447
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,700
Will I send down out of heaven?
Right.
448
00:25:56,700 --> 00:25:59,600
Mormon and Truth.
Well, I sent forth out of the
449
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:00,200
earth.
I'm sorry.
450
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:03,600
That was the angel in the tooth
out of Justice Book of Mormon to
451
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,700
Bear testimony of mine.
Only begotten his resurrection
452
00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:09,700
from the dead, but also the
resurrection of all men and
453
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:12,900
righteousness.
And truth will I cause to sweep
454
00:26:12,900 --> 00:26:17,400
the Earth as with a flood to
gather out, mine elect from the
455
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,800
four quarters of the earth
Gathering of Israel, the
456
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,800
weekend, the tears, the New
Testament originally and Matthew
457
00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:28,800
says that they will gather the
tears Joseph Smith changing
458
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,100
around in a Joe Smith visited to
gather the wheat into the barn,
459
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:35,400
leaving the tears and then burn
the tears.
460
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,400
Well, this is Sophia says
exactly the same thing.
461
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,700
Joseph Smith said to my book it
was super exciting find out but
462
00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:49,200
Now here's the interesting part
to me to gather mine gather are
463
00:26:49,208 --> 00:26:50,600
not.
Mine elect from the four
464
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,700
quarters of the earth unto a
place, which I shall prepare.
465
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:57,500
So the righteous will be caught
up.
466
00:26:58,900 --> 00:27:01,000
But we're not just going to be
floating around while all this
467
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,700
is happening.
We're going to be taken to a
468
00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:06,600
place.
It says, which I shall prepare
469
00:27:06,900 --> 00:27:09,600
and holy city that my people
make gird up.
470
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,600
Their loins prepare and be
looking forth for the time of my
471
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,500
coming.
For there shall be my Tabernacle
472
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:19,200
and it should be called Zion a
New Jerusalem and the Lord said
473
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:24,400
unto Enoch, then this time when
were caught up now, Enoch and I
474
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,200
City will meet them there,
right?
475
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,800
And we will receive them into
our bosom.
476
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
So, when their actions are cut
up where they going to go,
477
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,700
you're going to go to me Enoch
and his City so which, which
478
00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:43,200
would, which would explain why
did God go to all the trouble to
479
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:47,200
to lift up an entire city,
right?
480
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,300
Because the end game that had to
be someplace for the Rapture.
481
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:54,300
And let's call them to hang out
while the Earth is cleansed,
482
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,900
right?
Raishin for the restoration
483
00:27:55,900 --> 00:27:59,500
anyway.
That's incredible to me that
484
00:27:59,500 --> 00:28:04,500
that is and Yeah, this idea and
they shall see us.
485
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:07,500
Go ahead.
Oh, I was just finishing the
486
00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:11,500
scripture and we will receive
them into our bosom, says
487
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:15,100
unique, and his City and they
shall see us, we will fall upon
488
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:17,400
the next and they shall fall
upon an X and we will kiss each
489
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,500
other not in a weird way.
Sure?
490
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:21,900
Right.
And there shall be mine Abode
491
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:26,800
and it shall be Zion and which
shall come forth out of all the
492
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,000
Creations that I've made for the
space of a thousand years.
493
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,600
The earth has but Can you
imagine the celebration and the
494
00:28:33,608 --> 00:28:38,500
rejoicing of the people of the
city of Munich and bid, people
495
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:40,700
like me and you who are going to
get caught up, right?
496
00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:44,000
I hope so.
I never count my chickens before
497
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,200
they hatch can write, write,
write write.
498
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:49,400
But yeah, I definitely hope to
be in that.
499
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:55,300
Cuz, and, and I thought about
this, I think for for us, it'll
500
00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:58,800
be Be almost a homecoming,
right?
501
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,900
When when Zion below meet Zion
above so to speak, right?
502
00:29:02,900 --> 00:29:06,800
Design of type people And they
meet.
503
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,600
We're going to feel a certain
Kindred.
504
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,600
Did I think none of us have felt
before, right?
505
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,500
I don't know about you but and
this isn't me, you know, saying
506
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:20,400
I'm super righteous because I'm
not, I have my faults but there
507
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,600
are times where I actually feel
kind of out of place in this
508
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,400
world, right?
Especially, yeah.
509
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:27,000
Alright.
Gosh.
510
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,800
Yes.
Where I look and again, I'm not
511
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,600
saying I'm super righteous or
any of those other things.
512
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,900
I'm just saying that That there
are times because of the things
513
00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:39,500
that I believe that I just look
around the world and what's
514
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:42,900
going on.
And I'm like, I don't recognize
515
00:29:42,900 --> 00:29:45,600
this, I can't, I can't relate to
this.
516
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:52,500
I can't I can't fathom this to
and so this idea of of when Zion
517
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:55,900
below meet Zion above, I think
it's going to be kind of a
518
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:58,100
homecoming, right?
I think it's going to be one of
519
00:29:58,100 --> 00:30:01,200
those things where it's going to
feel familiar in some way.
520
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,900
Well, I think we have a taste of
that line.
521
00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:05,500
Me.
You and I have yet to meet in
522
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:09,000
person and every time we visit
life, the less that similar
523
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,100
kinship.
Yep.
524
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:12,200
Because we value the same
things.
525
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,200
Yep.
In any case?
526
00:30:13,700 --> 00:30:17,400
So Joseph Smith explained it is
a false idea that the Saints
527
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,000
will escape all the judgments
while the wicked suffer.
528
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:23,400
Yep, he cant get more authority
to coerce hated from that.
529
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:29,000
So of course, the Saints has a
body will have to be preserved,
530
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,900
carry on throughout the
Millennium but that every single
531
00:30:31,900 --> 00:30:34,000
one of us will be preserved as
not.
532
00:30:34,100 --> 00:30:38,200
The the promise, myth number
four, if we live the gospel and
533
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,600
purify, Our Lives, we can hasten
the Lord's coming and Usher in
534
00:30:41,608 --> 00:30:45,900
the Glorious millennium.
The second the day of the second
535
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:51,700
coming of the Lord lording in
glory, is fixed and I'm quoting
536
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:54,400
or to be Hinckley.
I like a lot, I'm Bruce
537
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:59,900
mcconkie.
So, the day of this The Lord in
538
00:30:59,900 --> 00:31:02,800
glory is fixed.
I noticed when Christ says the
539
00:31:02,808 --> 00:31:05,300
day nor the hour knoweth, no man
on my Father, which is Evan, the
540
00:31:05,300 --> 00:31:08,300
date was already know.
Of course, it is, God knows
541
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:10,900
everything.
Just as the day of his first
542
00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:13,100
coming was not an Isaiah or
nephite admitted.
543
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:16,100
I did not call upon the people
to repent, so the Holy One
544
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:17,800
visual content into mortality
sooner.
545
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,900
The second coming may not be
postponed by unbridled witness
546
00:31:21,900 --> 00:31:24,700
wickedness, nor hurried by
consummate righteousness.
547
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:26,700
The god of Heaven has ordained
that day.
548
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,900
The prophets of old.
Dispensations have spoken of it.
549
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:36,300
We know not when it will come
but it's Dawning is certain Last
550
00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:38,900
two minutes, no one not even the
most faithful Saints.
551
00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:40,900
A good.
ODD will know the time of the
552
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:43,200
savior's return.
That's a myth.
553
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:44,500
What?
What is he saying?
554
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,100
We're told in the Bible, is the
Lord.
555
00:31:48,100 --> 00:31:50,000
Jesus Christ will come as a
thief in the night.
556
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,000
That is he will come suddenly
unexpectedly when the generality
557
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,200
of humankind is unprepared
unready.
558
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,200
Not watching this need not,
however be the case with the
559
00:32:00,208 --> 00:32:03,400
Lord Saints.
A master clarified and again
560
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,000
verily I said either coming or
draweth nigh and it overtake us
561
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,300
the world as a thief in the
night.
562
00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:10,200
Therefore gird up your loins,
which is a way of saying,
563
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,100
prepare yourselves that you may
be the children of light, that,
564
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:18,800
that day.
Shall not overtake you as a
565
00:32:18,808 --> 00:32:21,800
thief.
We may not know the specific
566
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,400
hour or the day with the Lord
would come but we can know the
567
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:30,700
season.
Mmm, he goes on those who are
568
00:32:30,700 --> 00:32:32,300
wise and have received the
truth.
569
00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:35,800
He's quoting Parable.
The parable of the ten virgins
570
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
and I'm taking the holy spirit
for the guide and have not been
571
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,400
deceived will sense, and
recognize The Nearness of the
572
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,000
Return of the King of kings and
Lord of lords.
573
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:46,300
The spiritually sensitive
members of the Lord's Church
574
00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:50,400
Body of Christ will be in a
Readiness to read the signs.
575
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:54,400
And thus, pre-prepared, even
enthusiastic seems a little
576
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,600
weird that day that has been.
Bribed as both.
577
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,200
Great and Dreadful.
Yeah.
578
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,200
Now let me pause for just a
second, people like Boyd pack or
579
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,000
who lived through the second
world war.
580
00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:10,300
They thought that was the end of
times, right?
581
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,500
And who wouldn't can you
imagine?
582
00:33:12,500 --> 00:33:15,000
I mean, when I, when I see
documentaries at the Second
583
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,800
World War, I it's mind-boggling
to me.
584
00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:19,200
And that's why we had this
checklist.
585
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:24,000
What's different about now?
Compared to then we will see
586
00:33:24,700 --> 00:33:28,900
here it is.
Okay, I'm pretty sure you can't
587
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:31,700
see all that, but let me and
it's two pages.
588
00:33:31,700 --> 00:33:35,600
Will go over both Pages at the
key is at the very top.
589
00:33:35,700 --> 00:33:37,500
Yep.
We I can see, we can see that.
590
00:33:37,500 --> 00:33:40,800
Yep, but I've checked in red,
are things that have happened
591
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,300
and this is just, this is
subjective, and I don't speak
592
00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:48,800
authoritatively.
This is just my opinion and the
593
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,200
blue.
Check marks are the things that
594
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,900
will not happen, until he
arrives.
595
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,600
And then, the plus marks the
things that are not done yet.
596
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,000
Those are the things for which
Which we are specifically
597
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,700
waiting, okay?
There's another thought I was
598
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:04,500
going to say about all of this.
It'll come to me.
599
00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:13,500
So as we go down the list and by
the way, play I want to point
600
00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:19,300
out up here for those listening.
The website with is a source for
601
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:26,699
this list LDS last days.
Dot-com.com, I searched around
602
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:31,199
the internet, and this is where
I found most of these signs on
603
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:33,300
the second page.
Those are taken from Mormon
604
00:34:33,300 --> 00:34:39,400
Doctrine.
Mmm, that was McConkey, again,
605
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:42,900
144,000, high priest.
That will happen when he comes
606
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,800
the abomination of desolation,
is one of the things are waiting
607
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,699
for Adam.
And I almond will he comes.
608
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,300
Additional scripture to come
forth, check.
609
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,000
It's done.
The arm of the Lord will be
610
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,800
revealed.
I believe that's happened.
611
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:06,700
Yep.
At evening time, it shall be
612
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:09,400
light.
Hasn't happened yet.
613
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,600
Battle of Armageddon.
Not yet Battle of Gog, and
614
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,800
Magog, not yet the Beast, and
the little horn.
615
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:18,500
I don't think that's happened
yet.
616
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,100
Boston, New York and Alban you
destroyed.
617
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,200
By the way, on that website, you
can click on each one of those
618
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,000
signs.
And it will take you to the
619
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,100
scriptural or authoritative
source and talks about each and
620
00:35:31,100 --> 00:35:33,600
every one of these sites.
If you have you, Alicia's real
621
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,900
quick can.
There's a couple questions I'm
622
00:35:35,900 --> 00:35:37,800
going to have running down this
list.
623
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:40,600
Of course, you know just because
I'm curious.
624
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,300
What what what you think it
could be?
625
00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:44,700
What do you think?
The abomination of desolation is
626
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:56,100
The aftermath just utter
destruction.
627
00:35:56,100 --> 00:35:57,800
The aftermath of utter
destruction.
628
00:35:58,100 --> 00:36:03,300
Okay, beyond that.
I wish I could say but I don't,
629
00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:06,500
I don't know that.
I understand it personally any
630
00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:16,100
better than that?
oh, Battle of Armageddon.
631
00:36:16,100 --> 00:36:20,300
We know is the great last battle
which will be fought in the
632
00:36:20,300 --> 00:36:23,900
valley of megiddo which is the
northern border of Israel.
633
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:28,600
You have Lebanon where we are.
I mean, is it has velocity keeps
634
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,000
fire.
Firing missiles into Israel from
635
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,200
the north.
Yep.
636
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,500
And that is where the nations of
the earth will gather to fight
637
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:39,500
one or the other.
And so when we see forces start
638
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:42,200
gathering around that Valley,
that's that's a pretty good
639
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:47,400
sign.
Boston, New York and Albany
640
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,100
destroyed.
Does that Wilfred woodruff's?
641
00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:51,700
Horrendous Vision?
Well, that was it, that's a
642
00:36:51,700 --> 00:36:53,400
terrible thing.
It was it down that was either
643
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,700
Taylor or Woodruff II know
Taylor, had a pretty
644
00:36:56,900 --> 00:37:00,700
devastating, that's hard one to
read.
645
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,500
That is a very hard one to read.
And yet, every time I go into a
646
00:37:05,508 --> 00:37:11,100
Megapolis, like I'm driving down
to Phoenix and you have 12 Lanes
647
00:37:11,100 --> 00:37:14,900
of traffic going in both
directions, right, feeding that
648
00:37:15,100 --> 00:37:17,800
Megapolis.
If something were to happen to
649
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:22,400
any of those Megapolis has where
those arteries were severed, and
650
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,200
those Megapolis is were not
being fed on a daily basis chaos
651
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,800
would ensue and it's not a
pretty thing to consider but you
652
00:37:29,808 --> 00:37:32,400
can see how that vision would be
fulfilled, right?
653
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,400
And and okay in five seconds
you're going to want to cover.
654
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,900
Your kids is a little years or
pause this and show him out of
655
00:37:38,900 --> 00:37:45,100
the room.
Five four, three, two, one, In
656
00:37:45,100 --> 00:37:48,800
that vision.
And there's a story I'm going to
657
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,400
tell along with this in that
Vision Taylor basically sees
658
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,200
cannibalism right?
And it's the worst kind its
659
00:37:56,300 --> 00:38:01,300
parent on child and I always
thought that's crazy.
660
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:02,700
There's no way that could
happen.
661
00:38:03,900 --> 00:38:05,400
And then I remembered an
experience.
662
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,600
I had when I was living back
East, we got hired to do some
663
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,800
mapping inside Central Park and
the civil engineering firm that
664
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,500
we were Contracting with was in
one of those high-rises.
665
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,600
And I remember after the meeting
was done, it was the strangest
666
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,100
thing.
Can, I was actually just
667
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:27,000
enjoying the city lights,
because it was just getting Dusk
668
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,600
and the lights were coming on.
And, and you could see people
669
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:37,400
just kind of moving down below
But this thought out of nowhere,
670
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,800
I mean.
Nowhere can came into my mind,
671
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:45,500
and it was, it was just this.
When, when everything goes
672
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:49,900
horribly wrong, this city will
eat each other.
673
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:55,200
And I and then it was months
later, I actually discovered
674
00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:00,800
that that Revelation, but it
just doesn't seem feasible and
675
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,100
we saw a little bit of that
during during covid, right?
676
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,600
There comes a point at which
these as you call them Megatron,
677
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:14,400
palaces just aren't sustainable
and and I, you know, we could be
678
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,700
there. it wouldn't take much,
no, I mean, and he, I hear
679
00:39:18,700 --> 00:39:23,600
stories like the Las Vegas for
example, where People in law
680
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:28,800
enforcement, they're real
secretly confess that they are
681
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,100
overwhelmed on a daily basis.
Yep, the letting criminals go
682
00:39:32,100 --> 00:39:34,200
because they can't keep them.
Yep.
683
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:37,600
And every time I drive by 15,
through Vegas, or into Vegas,
684
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,800
for whatever reason, I get that
same feeling of uneasiness that
685
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,900
the city is hanging by a thread.
And I don't, I don't glory in
686
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:46,800
that.
I don't like that.
687
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,200
And just, I'm just sharing that
feeling that I get regarding
688
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:54,100
cannibalism in Scripture.
That is always the ultimate sin,
689
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:57,700
that precedes, the destruction
of a given civilization.
690
00:39:58,100 --> 00:39:59,200
Yep.
That was true.
691
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,700
It was true at the time of Noah,
it was true.
692
00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:05,400
At the time of the Nephites
cannibalism proceeded their
693
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,800
demise.
A bit, is the ultimate
694
00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:13,000
aberration of the nahan
principal murdering to get gain.
695
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,700
And if the purpose of the Plan
of Salvation is to bring to pass
696
00:40:17,700 --> 00:40:20,900
the immortality and eternal life
of man, cannibalism is the worst
697
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,900
We got whom the children of God
upon your own lusts.
698
00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:27,700
It's a terrible thing and if
you're depraved goblins people,
699
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:31,100
why wouldn't you well, yeah, and
a lock of alien thing.
700
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,700
Yeah.
And and You know, to go along
701
00:40:34,700 --> 00:40:37,400
with that it.
If you look back in Israel's
702
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:42,500
history, the Lord gets fed up
with Israel, is specifically
703
00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:47,300
around the time of Lehi, when we
High makes his exit, when the
704
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:50,000
people are worshipping Maalik,
right?
705
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,500
Where they are rolling children
into the belly of this Beast
706
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:57,700
sacrifice and then consuming the
Flesh in a Twisted Sacrament.
707
00:40:58,300 --> 00:41:03,300
And so yeah, that that's
absolutely When God says enough.
708
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,700
And there's there's some other
things.
709
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:11,100
That that I think, you know, tie
into that without the actual
710
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:16,400
consumption as we think about
it, but I think it, I think some
711
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,500
of that in a scientific way,
could could totally happen.
712
00:41:21,500 --> 00:41:24,400
Yeah.
Those are the things about the
713
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,600
second coming that I don't like
to think about.
714
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,800
I know I look forward to what it
means, and I'm also happy to say
715
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,600
that these times of tribulation
our brief.
716
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,400
Yep.
God does not go.
717
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:39,800
God's desire is not for his
children to suffer, right?
718
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,400
Because of agency.
He lie has to allow the wicked
719
00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:45,000
to suffer the consequences of
their choices.
720
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:48,200
Let me ask you this, what do you
make of Gog and Magog?
721
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:54,900
Who do you?
Let me just say it like this.
722
00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:59,200
Who do you think they are?
Because I've heard a couple of
723
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:07,300
different opinions you first So
I've heard that Gog is the ruler
724
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:13,600
and may God is a country.
I'm not sure I buy into that
725
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,300
wholeheartedly.
The one that makes more sense to
726
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:21,800
me is that they're two separate
countries who are aligned and
727
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,700
this is going back, clear into
the late 90s.
728
00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:31,500
But I went to a seminar put on
by an LDS scholar.
729
00:42:31,500 --> 00:42:37,200
I won't name names but he made a
very compelling case that Gog
730
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,600
and Magog could be China and
Russia which during that time
731
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:45,500
seemed Silly right.
That that that would ever happen
732
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,000
except for maybe right about now
is Karen.
733
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,800
Yeah, so straight out of the
Bible dictionary going along
734
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:59,500
those lines a prophecy about God
was the king of Magog.
735
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,500
Who's invasion of Israel was
prophesied by Zeke prophecy
736
00:43:04,500 --> 00:43:06,700
points to a time when the heat
the nations of the north would
737
00:43:06,700 --> 00:43:09,400
set themselves against the
people of God and would be
738
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,100
defeated, then led to recognize,
Jehovah's King, all this appears
739
00:43:13,100 --> 00:43:15,200
to be at the second coming of
the Lord.
740
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,900
Another battle called The Battle
of Gog and Magog will occur at
741
00:43:18,900 --> 00:43:24,400
the end of the Thousand Years.
Hmm, so we know that the end of
742
00:43:24,408 --> 00:43:27,400
the Millennium that Satan and
his forces will be released for
743
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,200
a little season, so that they
can be finally.
744
00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:35,600
Pushed right to lead us into the
8,000 year which will never talk
745
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,900
about this kind of like wrapping
up the whole thing, right?
746
00:43:38,900 --> 00:43:45,400
Any case So the Battle of Gog
and Magog is we talk about
747
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,100
relative, this incoming.
According to the Bible
748
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:50,400
dictionary, is the final
Conflict.
749
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,100
At the end of the Millennium,
when Satan be loosed for a
750
00:43:53,107 --> 00:43:56,800
little season.
Okay, anyway, all right,
751
00:43:57,100 --> 00:43:59,100
Celestial city is Celeste
realized Earth.
752
00:43:59,100 --> 00:44:01,800
We know that what happened yet.
That won't happen till well,
753
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,900
after the Millennium, the
chastisement of the sayings has
754
00:44:05,900 --> 00:44:07,400
that happened yet?
Yes.
755
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,500
Well Christ appears.
Oh.
756
00:44:11,700 --> 00:44:16,800
That's what I wanted to say.
sometimes I get these
757
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,300
conversations about the second
coming of the savior, people
758
00:44:20,300 --> 00:44:23,800
will look at me sliding table,
which coming are you talking
759
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,600
about, right?
Or how do you know, he hasn't
760
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,700
already come?
Yes, there are many prophecies
761
00:44:30,700 --> 00:44:35,100
and accounts of him appearing at
various places and times.
762
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,800
None of which are the coming
that we are talking about and
763
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,100
I'll point this out, the person
said, I recognize that some
764
00:44:42,100 --> 00:44:45,200
would say, he's come already in
the first Vision in the temple
765
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,600
and Kirtland, Etc.
But that's not the coming, we're
766
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,600
talking about where he said.
His foot upon the Mount of
767
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,500
Olives, the Earth is cleansed as
my flyer in this in the
768
00:44:53,500 --> 00:44:56,300
Millennia begins.
That's what we're talking about,
769
00:44:56,500 --> 00:44:59,400
right, right.
They'll be various appearances
770
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,600
associated with that before and
after but what we're talking
771
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,000
about right now is the cleansing
of the Earth ushering in of the
772
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,200
millennial period.
So all of those Christ
773
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:14,800
appearances won't happen until
he comes the Constitution, hangs
774
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,800
by a thread.
Check.
775
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:22,000
Check How many how many
different ways is that been
776
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,000
fulfilled?
You know.
777
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,300
Yep.
I mean we talked about the
778
00:45:27,300 --> 00:45:30,400
election hijinks we could talk
about abuse is, of course, High
779
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:31,700
Court.
Oh yeah.
780
00:45:31,700 --> 00:45:35,000
We can talk about it.
Abuses of executive power,
781
00:45:35,500 --> 00:45:37,100
executive orders.
That's it.
782
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,000
When he thinks he's a king.
I'm just going to forgive all of
783
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,000
your Dad.
How about who do you think you
784
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,300
are?
It's really got to me sucker.
785
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:59,000
Anyway.
David, the prince Yeah, this
786
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,600
link Scourge not quite yet.
Earth shall be removed.
787
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,600
That one happened to later
Herschel met with heat, that
788
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,000
would have until Christ comes
earthquake at the battle of
789
00:46:07,008 --> 00:46:10,800
Armageddon.
Not yet earthquakes at the death
790
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:15,700
of two witnesses, We'll talk
about that some more, not yet.
791
00:46:16,700 --> 00:46:19,600
Earthquakes in divers places.
Check, I think so.
792
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:24,900
Sure Elders will be called home.
I went covid struck.
793
00:46:24,900 --> 00:46:27,800
Right?
And the missionary work was put
794
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,800
on pause and our own.
I lost his trumpet.
795
00:46:31,100 --> 00:46:32,600
Yep.
Yep.
796
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,300
It's dry.
Like I figured wow, that's a
797
00:46:35,300 --> 00:46:37,100
sign.
Yeah, that the missionary work
798
00:46:37,107 --> 00:46:40,400
is be put on pause.
The temple work has been put on
799
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,300
pause.
Have your in covid.
800
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:43,800
Did it ever get a little long
for you?
801
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,600
I remember there were times.
I was thinking.
802
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,600
I'm ready?
For the next part of the
803
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,600
Apocalypse because this is
getting old.
804
00:46:50,100 --> 00:46:53,400
So, yep.
That at first, it was shocking
805
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,200
and surprising.
Yeah, I am.
806
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:01,100
I modernism, I thought I didn't
believe anything like that could
807
00:47:01,100 --> 00:47:03,200
happen to us nowadays because of
modern medicine.
808
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,600
Boy, was I wrong boy.
It was and it was kind of in a
809
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,900
strange way exciting first
because I've never experienced
810
00:47:09,900 --> 00:47:13,800
anything like this but after a
while saying this is not fun.
811
00:47:14,900 --> 00:47:16,800
Yeah, you know, go back to
church.
812
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,900
I want to be with my choir and I
want to meet with people, I want
813
00:47:20,900 --> 00:47:26,300
to shake hands again, you know,
I I honestly think Ken that that
814
00:47:26,300 --> 00:47:29,700
was supposed to be a time of
reflection for us, right?
815
00:47:29,700 --> 00:47:33,000
Almost like a shot across the
bow because here's what we
816
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,600
discovered.
That's what they're telling us
817
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,800
to General Conference.
This is a warning, is there, is
818
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:44,500
that This exposed families right
now.
819
00:47:44,500 --> 00:47:50,100
I was very I was I was
pleasantly surprised we get as
820
00:47:50,100 --> 00:47:53,500
well as we did all cooped up
together so to speak, right?
821
00:47:54,500 --> 00:47:58,000
But I know of several families
who didn't fare well at all,
822
00:47:59,900 --> 00:48:04,200
that just kind of all the things
that were maybe issues that
823
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,600
hadn't been resolved were
exacerbated, right?
824
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,100
And I felt like that this was a
time I'm when if you have those
825
00:48:11,100 --> 00:48:14,800
things, good time to work on it
and if you saw faults within
826
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,900
your family, maybe it's time to
fix it and I'm not sure we
827
00:48:18,900 --> 00:48:21,200
heeded that call real well as a
people.
828
00:48:23,500 --> 00:48:29,300
Well, and we see that in times
of trial, the was it?
829
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,600
Let me go.
I'm gets tough, the tough get
830
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,600
going because it's kind of their
Watershed events you had our
831
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:42,200
trials for the faithful.
The, for example, membership
832
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,000
activity within the LDS church
has altered significantly
833
00:48:46,500 --> 00:48:49,300
because of covid.
Right are people who just didn't
834
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:53,000
come back.
None of it surprises me if
835
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,200
you're familiar with the parable
of the ten virgins, thanks for
836
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,300
Kibble and self.
Interpreted the parable of the
837
00:48:59,300 --> 00:49:02,100
ten virgins of the ten virgins
for the righteous endowed
838
00:49:02,100 --> 00:49:05,400
Latter-Day Saints, right?
They were virgins had the
839
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,000
wedding garment and they had an
invitation to the east.
840
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,400
The only thing they didn't have
was enough light to not be
841
00:49:11,408 --> 00:49:15,300
deceived and made the most of,
all right?
842
00:49:15,900 --> 00:49:19,100
Let's see.
Earth shall be removed.
843
00:49:19,100 --> 00:49:21,600
That will happen after Earth
shall melt with heat.
844
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:27,600
After all, we covered that eyes
and tongues consumed.
845
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:33,900
Poo the prophecy in the Doctrine
and Covenants talks about that.
846
00:49:34,100 --> 00:49:38,500
And when you read accounts of
Hiroshima, tragically, yeah.
847
00:49:38,500 --> 00:49:40,400
He saw that happen.
Yep.
848
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,600
Fall of the Abominable church
tonight.
849
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:43,800
Yeah.
Follow a little whore.
850
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:49,500
Not yet famine and pestilence.
Are we we talking about
851
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,500
consequences of war in Ukraine?
The breadbasket of Europe?
852
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,700
Yeah.
Are we seeing that yet?
853
00:49:54,700 --> 00:49:58,100
I mean, I've never seen
shortages like I've seen The
854
00:49:58,107 --> 00:50:00,000
past couple of years?
No, no.
855
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,400
We do we have lived in such a
blessed time where there was
856
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,600
always plenty, right?
You didn't have to like the only
857
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,700
thing you were really worried
about was that Year's toy for
858
00:50:11,700 --> 00:50:15,000
Christmas, right?
That was the only shortages you
859
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,700
really ever had to deal with
i-i'll.
860
00:50:19,900 --> 00:50:22,700
Go back to the covid.
Again.
861
00:50:24,500 --> 00:50:29,700
Um, I don't know why this makes
me so emotional, but it does me.
862
00:50:29,700 --> 00:50:33,000
And my son were sitting at home
and and this will tell you about
863
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,700
me and my kids, we're me and the
boys were kind of heathens.
864
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:39,600
I'm not going to lie a little
bit like when covid started.
865
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,700
Our activity was, let's sit on
the couch and watch every
866
00:50:43,700 --> 00:50:47,800
pandemic movie we can watch.
Yeah, first one to tap out, gets
867
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,900
called a wuss, right?
And and the lone survivor.
868
00:50:50,900 --> 00:50:54,000
He's yeah.
And right so this story comes
869
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,500
yes with Doritos.
There was a lot of different,
870
00:50:56,700 --> 00:50:58,600
look every time.
This was the only thing got me
871
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:04,100
through, I'm not gonna lie.
But anyway, one night we were
872
00:51:04,100 --> 00:51:07,900
just sitting around the house
and this was like, you remember
873
00:51:07,900 --> 00:51:10,500
Governor Herbert hearing you
talking.
874
00:51:10,700 --> 00:51:13,000
Mine and said, okay, we're going
to go into a lockdown.
875
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,100
It's going to start in like
three days.
876
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:23,100
And fortunately for me, my wife,
Rockstar, right?
877
00:51:23,100 --> 00:51:27,500
I mean we had everything that we
could have needed for a good.
878
00:51:27,500 --> 00:51:32,000
Probably six months not quite a
year, but but we're stocked
879
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,200
right?
We'll take six months.
880
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:40,600
Yeah and so we were in good
shape but I was like one night I
881
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:45,400
just couldn't sleep and if this
was like, again, a couple days
882
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:51,600
before the lockdown, And I felt
a prompting to go to WinCo.
883
00:51:52,700 --> 00:51:56,400
We didn't need anything, but I
just had this weird prompting
884
00:51:57,300 --> 00:52:00,600
and I kind of truck it off for a
few minutes but then I'm like,
885
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:06,000
well, just go.
So I went and when I got there,
886
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:13,200
what I discovered was
pandemonium Ken And it was so
887
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:17,300
sad to see and it left a really
strong impression on me.
888
00:52:21,700 --> 00:52:25,700
What's the super strong
impression on me about?
889
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:32,600
Just how fragile we are as a
society and just how pampered we
890
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,100
are.
And I saw mother's scrambling to
891
00:52:36,100 --> 00:52:42,600
get anything they could write
two to buy noodles to buy just
892
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:46,200
Staples.
And I'm like or how about baby
893
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:50,300
formula Tylenol or how about a
new car?
894
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:54,200
I've never seen that.
Yeah, see George there.
895
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,600
Were there was a year and a half
where all the new car dealers.
896
00:52:57,700 --> 00:52:59,800
Tips.
You can use to car dealerships.
897
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,100
Yep, you couldn't.
And that like, that was the
898
00:53:03,100 --> 00:53:06,100
weirdest thing.
And so this global economy, this
899
00:53:06,100 --> 00:53:09,700
beautiful interdependent global
economy that makes things so
900
00:53:09,700 --> 00:53:12,300
efficient for us.
It doesn't take that much to
901
00:53:12,300 --> 00:53:17,800
break down when I saw those.
Those Mega ships piling up off
902
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,100
of the West Coast trying to
deliver their goods.
903
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:21,800
Not enough.
They're still backed up.
904
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,700
You could see him satellite
images back up into the Pacific.
905
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,600
Yeah, it's kind of scary stuff.
Scary stuff.
906
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,200
Is I think I think it was a call
that we're more fragile than
907
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:35,200
what we would like to admit.
For sure, for sure.
908
00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:37,300
Now, some of these things were
going to get into.
909
00:53:37,300 --> 00:53:41,100
Now helps distinguish, our time
from World War Two, when they
910
00:53:41,100 --> 00:53:46,100
thought the world was ending
right Gathering of Israel.
911
00:53:47,500 --> 00:53:49,400
That's happening.
Big time.
912
00:53:49,700 --> 00:53:54,900
Yep, Gathering to Jerusalem that
did not happen until after World
913
00:53:54,900 --> 00:53:57,400
War Two.
I mean, we take that for granted
914
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:02,500
that Jerusalem Israel exists at
all for the first time in almost
915
00:54:02,500 --> 00:54:05,900
two thousand years, right?
Can, it's happening again, let
916
00:54:05,900 --> 00:54:08,900
me stop you there.
I was just listening.
917
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:18,200
Who was I listening to?
it was either Glenn Beck or or
918
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,400
maybe Sean Hannity, I can't
remember but I was just
919
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:25,000
listening to news radio and he
had a guest on who was saying
920
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,500
that there's a new flood of
people moving into Jerusalem out
921
00:54:28,500 --> 00:54:34,500
of like Ukraine and Russia.
There's a new people especially
922
00:54:34,500 --> 00:54:39,000
Jewish folks are feeling a pull
to go back again in a big
923
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,500
significant way and he's here,
parallel here in the United
924
00:54:42,500 --> 00:54:47,600
States, tell these people moving
to back to Utah, grew up.
925
00:54:47,700 --> 00:54:51,200
Here coming back because they
feel this wanting to stand in
926
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,100
holy places or at least safe
places there.
927
00:54:54,100 --> 00:54:57,000
I mean the exceeded population
movements from these Megapolis
928
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,100
is like east and west coast
cities and they're moving to
929
00:54:59,100 --> 00:55:03,100
where Idaho Utah, Arizona.
I know.
930
00:55:03,100 --> 00:55:08,900
I know, I know.
I see it not a bad thing, not
931
00:55:08,900 --> 00:55:10,200
even.
Oh, I know.
932
00:55:10,300 --> 00:55:13,700
All right.
Where were you Gathering to Zion
933
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:15,400
happening?
For sure.
934
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,100
Gentile nation is destroyed
first.
935
00:55:18,100 --> 00:55:21,400
Not there yet.
Gospel preached for sure.
936
00:55:21,700 --> 00:55:27,800
Great, an abominable Church.
Oh yeah, hailstorm a battle of
937
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:29,200
Armageddon.
Not yet hailstorms.
938
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,900
Not, yeah.
Half hour of Silence, not yet.
939
00:55:34,100 --> 00:55:37,300
Heathen Nations redeemed?
Yes, hmm.
940
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:39,600
I shall become one.
Land.
941
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,800
That'll happen.
Price comes, Jerusalem and Zion
942
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,900
are Eternal when Christ comes
Jerusalem Temple rebuilt.
943
00:55:46,900 --> 00:55:49,600
Apparently, that needs to begin
before his coming.
944
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,700
Yeah, that begins when that
begins and we know that the
945
00:55:54,700 --> 00:55:57,500
zionists in Jerusalem were
trying to make it happen.
946
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:02,000
Well, it can do that.
That one is fascinating to me.
947
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,300
Because you, you, you see
Certain preparations, right?
948
00:56:05,300 --> 00:56:08,600
Like I want to say it was 78
years ago.
949
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:13,500
They finally were able to
through selective breeding and
950
00:56:13,500 --> 00:56:16,200
that sort of thing.
Get a red heifer, again, right?
951
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:20,100
That was one of the things and,
and I'm like, okay, but how are
952
00:56:20,100 --> 00:56:23,200
you going to build the temple
when there's a big mosque on top
953
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,700
of it, right?
So I'm really curious how that
954
00:56:25,700 --> 00:56:27,100
will shake out.
Yeah.
955
00:56:27,100 --> 00:56:31,100
Me too me too.
I also wonder meaning this is a
956
00:56:31,100 --> 00:56:35,900
stretch but the BYU Jerusalem
Center its construction and I'm
957
00:56:35,900 --> 00:56:40,500
not saying BYU's God's school or
anything like that, but it is a
958
00:56:40,500 --> 00:56:45,600
very significant LDS presence in
Jerusalem and it is a holy.
959
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,700
It is a holy Place scene photos
in that sort of thing.
960
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:53,600
And it was miraculous that that
ever happened Jews converted in
961
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:54,600
one day.
Not yet.
962
00:56:54,600 --> 00:57:00,300
Judgment yet lamanites will
Blossom as a rooms I say it has
963
00:57:00,300 --> 00:57:04,100
happened.
Okay.
964
00:57:05,500 --> 00:57:07,200
I want to hear it.
Go ahead.
965
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:12,100
We, when we say lamanites, we
tend to think of North American
966
00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:16,800
Plains Indians.
Which is ignorant because we are
967
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,800
completely casting aside, the
vast majority of Native
968
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,800
Americans, which exists South of
the Border.
969
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:29,100
When you look at and you know,
whatever stock you put in the
970
00:57:29,107 --> 00:57:31,100
building of temples, I mean,
goodness gracious.
971
00:57:31,100 --> 00:57:35,800
The temples in Central and South
America have proliferated and
972
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:39,800
continued to proliferate.
And that the the most
973
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,100
significant growth in the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
974
00:57:42,100 --> 00:57:46,100
Saints, is happening there.
Right, I say something.
975
00:57:46,300 --> 00:57:48,800
I say we are witnessing here
now.
976
00:57:50,500 --> 00:57:53,600
So the only thing I would push
back on there.
977
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,700
A little bit would be, I think
you have to include the Native
978
00:57:57,700 --> 00:58:01,200
Americans.
And I North America, the North
979
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:02,600
American tribes.
Yep.
980
00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:06,000
And I feel like they've been
woefully neglected in this
981
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,200
somewhat.
I mean, if you look at some of
982
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:12,400
their circumstances, I just I
feel horrible that they're in
983
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:17,000
those circumstances, but surely
those of us who have grown up in
984
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:24,000
the west, I grew up amongst the
Shoshone tribes in Wyoming and
985
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,700
would play football, basketball
and state championship
986
00:58:26,700 --> 00:58:28,400
basketball teams met those guys
were good.
987
00:58:28,700 --> 00:58:30,600
Yeah.
In high school, they were
988
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,400
terrible in football.
We created been football
989
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:38,300
basketball, they were awesome.
Now, that's a tough one, because
990
00:58:38,300 --> 00:58:43,600
they, in my view, I don't see
any change occurring at all.
991
00:58:44,300 --> 00:58:47,800
Yeah, they have.
I mean, in my lifetime, they
992
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:52,500
continue to exist as they have
That's all I don't.
993
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,900
Oh Heaven, Help me if I don't
want to offend anyone, sure on
994
00:58:57,900 --> 00:59:01,100
the, on the other hand there are
North American tribes like the
995
00:59:01,900 --> 00:59:03,800
the Northwestern tribes in
eastern.
996
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,900
Sure that bar that are thriving.
Yep.
997
00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:11,000
But we tend to think
traditionally of the the
998
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,600
reservation tribes that remain
on the reservation and have not
999
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,500
really changed over time, mostly
by their choice, because they're
1000
00:59:17,500 --> 00:59:19,300
want to preserve their
traditional way of life.
1001
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:24,200
Then it's old also I guess would
you know what we want to call a
1002
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:29,300
blossoming, but outside of those
North American reservation
1003
00:59:29,300 --> 00:59:33,400
tribes, the other tribes which
are pretty much integrated are
1004
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:35,400
thriving and are doing very
well.
1005
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:37,300
But of course, South of the
Border.
1006
00:59:38,300 --> 00:59:46,400
We're seeing massive conversions
and a great success in preaching
1007
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,700
to the Native American people's
south of the And states.
1008
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:57,000
So that we could maybe put to M
plus or a check mark there.
1009
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,500
But I, I think we're witnessing
that we take for granted because
1010
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,700
in the United States, we obsess
about the planes in, right?
1011
01:00:03,700 --> 01:00:06,500
Which is a fraction of the
Native American population,
1012
01:00:06,700 --> 01:00:08,200
sure.
All right.
1013
01:00:08,700 --> 01:00:10,200
Living water from Jerusalem
Temple.
1014
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:11,500
We know that won't happen.
To price.
1015
01:00:11,500 --> 01:00:14,800
Puts his foot on the Mount of
Olives, a lost ten tribes of
1016
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,900
Israel.
There are those who depend on,
1017
01:00:18,908 --> 01:00:25,600
who you read, not his name,
Bruce mcconkie, son.
1018
01:00:26,100 --> 01:00:30,100
Wrote a marvelous article about
this, this Gathering of Israel
1019
01:00:30,100 --> 01:00:34,000
which is missionary work is
happening in a very big way and
1020
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,300
there are many many not.
The patriarchal blessing is
1021
01:00:37,300 --> 01:00:40,400
necessarily the answer but there
are indications that people from
1022
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,700
many tribes.
Especially I have friends and
1023
01:00:42,700 --> 01:00:44,500
neighbors, who served in Russia,
they're seeing a lot of these
1024
01:00:44,500 --> 01:00:48,300
tribes turn up.
Interspersed among yeah, among
1025
01:00:48,300 --> 01:00:52,900
the Russian populations.
So one could say that is already
1026
01:00:52,900 --> 01:00:55,900
happening.
The reason I didn't check it
1027
01:00:55,900 --> 01:00:57,800
off.
There seems to be this section
1028
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,200
130 which has never been
explained very well by anyone.
1029
01:01:01,300 --> 01:01:04,500
In a great Highway shall be cast
up from deep and lands become
1030
01:01:04,500 --> 01:01:07,100
one.
The tribes will come down to be
1031
01:01:07,100 --> 01:01:09,900
crowded with the blessings of
even that sort of thing that
1032
01:01:09,900 --> 01:01:12,600
seems to be kind of a second
coming kind of a thing.
1033
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:14,400
Okay.
Yeah.
1034
01:01:15,300 --> 01:01:16,600
A man like Anna.
Moses?
1035
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:18,900
Hello, Joseph Brigham.
Yep.
1036
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,300
Millennium.
LM, not yet, not yet.
1037
01:01:21,300 --> 01:01:24,600
Not yet mountains of flow down
in his presence at section 130.
1038
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,100
Not yet, new Heaven and new
earth, not yet.
1039
01:01:28,100 --> 01:01:31,500
All that stuff will happen.
As a result of his coming out of
1040
01:01:31,500 --> 01:01:34,900
Zion shall go forth the law, so
Jerusalem would be the religious
1041
01:01:34,900 --> 01:01:37,600
capital.
In Zion will be delayed Capital,
1042
01:01:37,900 --> 01:01:40,100
that will happen in parable of
the ten virgins.
1043
01:01:40,100 --> 01:01:42,600
I think it's happening.
Yeah, I think you're right.
1044
01:01:43,300 --> 01:01:45,500
That one, that one is happening.
For sure.
1045
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,100
And I didn't believe that before
maybe 10 years ago right now
1046
01:01:50,100 --> 01:01:53,300
it's like wow, that's so
happening piece will be taking
1047
01:01:53,300 --> 01:01:56,500
with me Earth.
Definitely happened, persecution
1048
01:01:56,500 --> 01:01:59,500
of the Saints.
There was the Mormon moment that
1049
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:01,900
is over, right?
Yep.
1050
01:02:02,100 --> 01:02:06,700
We will be coming, already
coming under it.
1051
01:02:06,700 --> 01:02:09,700
Well, good Heavens.
They don't even Elder Holland to
1052
01:02:09,700 --> 01:02:12,600
speak at suu because he said
muskets in his speech.
1053
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:14,800
It had anything to do with
anything.
1054
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,800
I mean, that's I think that's
the tip of the iceberg.
1055
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,500
Yeah.
No, I think you're right, I
1056
01:02:20,500 --> 01:02:24,200
think we're entering a time now
where it doesn't matter, what
1057
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:28,200
kind of Mormon you say, you are,
you're going to become a pinata
1058
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,000
a little bit, right?
You're going to get some heat.
1059
01:02:31,300 --> 01:02:35,200
How dare Mormons believe that
there are such a thing called
1060
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,900
sin.
How dare we say there are
1061
01:02:38,900 --> 01:02:42,600
behaviors that are unhealthy,
right?
1062
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:47,500
Right and I'm God, how dare you,
how dare you shame other people.
1063
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,300
Anyway, rainbow has not been
withdrawn yet.
1064
01:02:52,900 --> 01:02:57,800
Restoration of all things we
could say in terms of the
1065
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:59,200
fullness of the Gospel.
Yes.
1066
01:02:59,500 --> 01:03:01,800
Yep.
Resurrection.
1067
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:06,200
Not yet sacrifice.
Yes.
1068
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:10,900
I should have that scripture at
the ready.
1069
01:03:15,500 --> 01:03:18,800
When the sons of Moses and Aaron
offer get an offering in
1070
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:22,400
righteousness, that scripture
from the Doctrine and Covenants
1071
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:29,100
has already been answered.
Oh, I must find us.
1072
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:39,400
Hey, here we go.
This is section, 128 verse 24,
1073
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:43,800
behold the great day of the Lord
is at hand and who can abide the
1074
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:47,300
day of his coming and who can
stand when he appears with its
1075
01:03:47,300 --> 01:03:50,400
rhetorical question.
Nobody can't write for.
1076
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,800
He is like a refiners fire, like
Fuller soap and he shall sit as
1077
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:57,400
a refiner and purifier of silver
and he shall purify the sons of
1078
01:03:57,408 --> 01:04:02,600
Levi, who are the sons of Levi.
Pick your priesthood.
1079
01:04:04,300 --> 01:04:05,900
People have priests and
convertible.
1080
01:04:06,900 --> 01:04:09,700
I believe it's in the teachings
of the Prophet Joseph Smith, I
1081
01:04:09,700 --> 01:04:13,300
could be wrong, but I think
doesn't Joseph Smith get very
1082
01:04:13,700 --> 01:04:18,000
specific about animal sacrifices
again, being offered up in
1083
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,700
Jerusalem.
I would like to see that because
1084
01:04:21,700 --> 01:04:25,400
this scripture says, well, let
me finish this and we'll
1085
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:29,100
continue this conversation.
So let's talk about the and he's
1086
01:04:29,100 --> 01:04:32,200
going to purify the sons of Levi
and purge them as gold and
1087
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,700
silver that they may offer unto
the Lord an offering in
1088
01:04:35,700 --> 01:04:38,900
righteousness.
I most people think, oh, we're
1089
01:04:38,900 --> 01:04:42,900
going to have animal sacrifice
again, which seems weird after
1090
01:04:42,900 --> 01:04:45,900
the great and last sacrifice.
But then the scripture goes on.
1091
01:04:46,500 --> 01:04:52,700
Let us therefore as the sons of
Levi, as a church ended people,
1092
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:57,200
and as Latter-Day Saints, offer
unto the Lord, an offering in
1093
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:01,700
righteousness and then it names
the offering and let us present
1094
01:05:01,700 --> 01:05:04,300
in his holy Temple.
When it is finished.
1095
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,300
A book, containing the records
of our dead.
1096
01:05:07,500 --> 01:05:10,100
And which shall be worthy of all
acceptation.
1097
01:05:11,100 --> 01:05:15,900
So according to one, 28 verse 24
that offering in righteousness
1098
01:05:16,100 --> 01:05:21,000
is vicarious work which is what
the ancient temples were
1099
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:25,500
prefiguring because they could
not do vicarious work until
1100
01:05:25,500 --> 01:05:29,300
after the resurrection.
So that offering in
1101
01:05:29,300 --> 01:05:33,200
righteousness, we think is going
to be animal sacrifice section.
1102
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:38,900
128 says, no, it's the purified
Latter-Day Saints offer that
1103
01:05:38,900 --> 01:05:40,900
offering in righteousness, it's
a book.
1104
01:05:40,900 --> 01:05:44,700
Containing the records of our
dead referring to Vicarious
1105
01:05:44,700 --> 01:05:47,800
work.
So that's why I check that off
1106
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,100
as a.
Yeah, that's done in the process
1107
01:05:50,100 --> 01:05:52,300
of being done at least.
Okay?
1108
01:05:52,300 --> 01:05:54,700
You and I may disagree there a
little bit on it because I'm
1109
01:05:54,700 --> 01:05:58,400
looking at the quote here and
and Joseph does Typically talk
1110
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:02,600
about animal sacrifices.
Now, by the way, before you read
1111
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,200
that.
It doesn't preclude.
1112
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,000
Both no, no.
I did.
1113
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:12,000
I just want to point out, right?
I'm down with saying, it's most
1114
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,500
likely is both.
I'm down for that.
1115
01:06:14,900 --> 01:06:19,400
So, I, but if we do animal
sacrifice again, you will only
1116
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,400
be symbolic.
Yes, as it was anyway, right?
1117
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:27,600
As it was himself it, right?
It has no salvific, no, no, no.
1118
01:06:27,700 --> 01:06:30,100
Right, I agree with you totally
on that.
1119
01:06:30,100 --> 01:06:31,900
I think it could be referencing
both.
1120
01:06:31,900 --> 01:06:35,100
I-i'm that that is a very
interesting topic.
1121
01:06:35,300 --> 01:06:39,700
Is it isn't it is an interesting
topic, let's see.
1122
01:06:39,900 --> 01:06:43,900
And I have to admit being a guy
who like when you hear about
1123
01:06:43,900 --> 01:06:48,000
what the what the ritual was.
I mean, this is a lamb you
1124
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:49,800
brought into your house, almost,
right.
1125
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,100
It became a pet.
So I'm not necessarily looking
1126
01:06:53,100 --> 01:06:58,400
forward to that with a whole lot
of Glee anyway, but Yeah, no
1127
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,400
it's it is a fascinating
conversation topic.
1128
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,600
You're right.
So when that happens you and I
1129
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:06,700
will look at each other.
One of us is going to raise our
1130
01:07:06,700 --> 01:07:09,200
eyebrows and the other will look
down shamefaced.
1131
01:07:09,500 --> 01:07:16,000
Yeah, if it happens right.
Right night, I haven't figured
1132
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,700
out why it should happen, unless
it's just to fulfill to close
1133
01:07:19,700 --> 01:07:23,600
the circle, you know, in the
presence of Christ, but secret
1134
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:25,700
combinations.
You know what's going to happen
1135
01:07:25,700 --> 01:07:28,200
when we find out one way or
another, Sure how that's going
1136
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:28,900
to go.
One of us.
1137
01:07:28,900 --> 01:07:30,600
Will pass the other.
A five dollar bill.
1138
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:33,300
Like, you got me on that one.
Here you go.
1139
01:07:33,300 --> 01:07:35,500
Yeah, yeah.
No.
1140
01:07:35,500 --> 01:07:36,600
Both laugh.
I love that.
1141
01:07:36,700 --> 01:07:40,500
Yeah, that's right.
Secret combinations.
1142
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:42,700
Yes yeah.
Oh yeah.
1143
01:07:42,900 --> 01:07:43,900
Well, big time.
Yeah.
1144
01:07:45,100 --> 01:07:46,800
We know, they're out there.
We don't know the half of it.
1145
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:48,900
I don't want to know all of it
and just bring me down.
1146
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:53,500
Yep, sons of Levi offering.
We just read that scripture.
1147
01:07:53,500 --> 01:07:54,700
That's happening.
I believe.
1148
01:07:55,600 --> 01:08:00,000
The spirit of God will withdraw.
Yep, it is happening.
1149
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,500
And of course, the result of the
withdrawal of the spirit of God
1150
01:08:04,500 --> 01:08:07,300
is chaos, right?
We're starting to see that in
1151
01:08:07,300 --> 01:08:10,800
the cities where a lawn, or Law
and Order going to hell in as
1152
01:08:10,808 --> 01:08:12,800
some of these other nations
where they've been hanging by a
1153
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,800
thread in any case.
Hmm, I don't know if it's on
1154
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,700
this list but something I wanted
to talk to you about one of
1155
01:08:18,707 --> 01:08:24,100
those signs is it talks about
men's Hearts failing them and is
1156
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:28,500
that on this list somewhere can?
If it's not, we should be
1157
01:08:28,508 --> 01:08:33,200
ashamed because it should be I
don't see it.
1158
01:08:33,500 --> 01:08:35,100
Oh, we're gonna have to add it.
Good job.
1159
01:08:35,100 --> 01:08:38,700
You found one, you know, that's
happening, that one.
1160
01:08:38,700 --> 01:08:40,600
What is that?
You know, that one?
1161
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:45,200
I find fascinating because I
went through several iterations
1162
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,399
of what that could be.
Now, as, as a brand-new Mormon,
1163
01:08:48,500 --> 01:08:52,100
my first thought was, oh, people
are like Keeling over because of
1164
01:08:52,100 --> 01:08:53,700
heart attacks, right?
That's right.
1165
01:08:53,700 --> 01:08:58,000
First thought great.
And then I thought well I think
1166
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,899
maybe it's just the love of man
waxing cold towards his brother.
1167
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,300
Other, which I think that could
still be a part of it even now.
1168
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:14,000
But lately.
I've been thinking about, The
1169
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:18,200
courage of men.
Failing them.
1170
01:09:18,899 --> 01:09:21,600
We live in a time.
Now, that's very interesting in
1171
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:26,300
the sense of we just seem to be
denying reality at every turn
1172
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:34,200
and to call out that Li you are
labeled a hater.
1173
01:09:34,899 --> 01:09:39,700
You could find yourself losing
your job, you could find
1174
01:09:39,700 --> 01:09:45,100
yourself being canceled.
And so, I think there is
1175
01:09:45,100 --> 01:09:49,700
hesitancy, like, never before On
the part of men, where, where,
1176
01:09:49,700 --> 01:09:52,700
their their heart, their
courage, it's failing them.
1177
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:56,500
And I think that that, you know,
that that's a huge part of it.
1178
01:09:56,500 --> 01:10:00,600
Because as men become more and
more worried about, you know,
1179
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,700
these things that courage seems
to be waning a little bit.
1180
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:11,400
I also, I also think that that,
you know, the the love of the
1181
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,600
Brotherly Love waxing Kolb, I
think as a part of that as well.
1182
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:19,300
Absolutely, I tend to think of
it as losing hope.
1183
01:10:19,700 --> 01:10:24,700
Yeah, because as we talked about
before as times become less and
1184
01:10:24,700 --> 01:10:29,400
less stable, more and more
tribulation and more problems
1185
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:34,100
and we're we're experiencing
shortages famine disease, and
1186
01:10:34,100 --> 01:10:35,600
pestilence and all this sort of
thing.
1187
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:40,900
The only people who will not
lose, hope are they people who
1188
01:10:40,900 --> 01:10:44,500
recognize these signs in
weirdly?
1189
01:10:44,500 --> 01:10:47,600
Get because Jesus is coming,
right?
1190
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,700
Everybody else.
We'll lose hope.
1191
01:10:51,900 --> 01:10:53,800
Yeah.
And their hearts will fail.
1192
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,400
Yeah, for me.
But I think they're all true.
1193
01:10:57,700 --> 01:10:59,300
I do too.
Can I do too?
1194
01:10:59,300 --> 01:11:04,300
I do very interesting.
Yeah the spirit of God will
1195
01:11:04,300 --> 01:11:05,800
withdraw.
Yeah definitely.
1196
01:11:06,100 --> 01:11:09,000
Yep.
Temples temples will dot the
1197
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,100
land.
Hmm.
1198
01:11:12,100 --> 01:11:15,300
Who of us and our lifetime
anticipated.
1199
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,300
This credible rate of Temple
construction within the church,
1200
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:26,000
right?
Last conference, I'm sitting
1201
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:34,500
there in 1, 2, 3 15, right?
And this hundred-year-old Man
1202
01:11:34,500 --> 01:11:39,100
shows no signs of slowing down.
It seems like the crazier
1203
01:11:39,100 --> 01:11:43,700
things, get the more intent.
They are in trying to bring
1204
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:51,000
higher ordinances to the people.
As a wholly standing to make it
1205
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,700
possible for more and more
States stand in holy places.
1206
01:11:54,500 --> 01:11:57,800
Times of the Gentiles will be
fulfilled.
1207
01:11:58,300 --> 01:12:02,900
Most certainly.
So the tongue of Egyptian see
1208
01:12:02,900 --> 01:12:06,800
will be destroying.
Not yet trumpets and plagues.
1209
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:14,400
I think we're starting to see
that the two witnesses now, this
1210
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:18,600
is fascinating.
This is the alarm Bell.
1211
01:12:18,900 --> 01:12:23,100
This is the one he should be
quite obvious.
1212
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:31,300
And let some, let me call that
up here on my screen.
1213
01:12:32,900 --> 01:12:34,500
I think I know where you're
going with this.
1214
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:44,500
Let's share.
Where did that go again?
1215
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:48,900
No, no no no no.
Not here.
1216
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:55,800
No right here.
I'll share that one.
1217
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:02,100
Yes.
The two witnesses.
1218
01:13:03,300 --> 01:13:05,900
So here we are on the website
reading straight out of
1219
01:13:05,900 --> 01:13:09,800
Revelation.
That verse 3, I will give power
1220
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:13,500
unto my two witnesses and they
shall prophesy a thousand two
1221
01:13:13,500 --> 01:13:16,500
hundred threescore days, three
and a half years.
1222
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,800
These are the two olive trees
and the two candlesticks
1223
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:21,800
standing before the god of the
earth.
1224
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,000
And if any man will hurt them
fire proceedeth out of the mouth
1225
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,100
and devours, their enemies.
If any man will hurt them, he
1226
01:13:28,100 --> 01:13:29,600
must in this manner.
Be killed.
1227
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:33,300
These have power to shut Heaven.
That it not rain in the days of
1228
01:13:33,300 --> 01:13:36,200
their prophecy, and have power
over Waters, to turn them to
1229
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:39,100
blood and to Smite the Earth
with all plagues as often as
1230
01:13:39,100 --> 01:13:41,200
they will.
And when they shall have
1231
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:44,500
finished their testimony, the
Beast that ascendeth out of the
1232
01:13:44,500 --> 01:13:47,300
bottomless pit shall make war
against them and shall overcome
1233
01:13:47,300 --> 01:13:49,500
them.
All them and their dead bodies
1234
01:13:49,500 --> 01:13:52,400
shall lie in the street of the
great city, which spiritually is
1235
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,100
called Sodom and Egypt.
Where also our Lord was
1236
01:13:55,100 --> 01:13:57,800
crucified.
So in Jerusalem and they have
1237
01:13:57,800 --> 01:13:59,900
the people and kindred's and
tongues and Nations shall see
1238
01:13:59,900 --> 01:14:03,300
their dead bodies, three days
and a half and shall not suffer
1239
01:14:03,300 --> 01:14:05,000
their dead bodies to be put in
Graves.
1240
01:14:06,300 --> 01:14:08,500
And they that dwell upon the
Earth shall rejoice over them
1241
01:14:08,700 --> 01:14:12,500
and make Merry and shall send
gifts one to another because
1242
01:14:12,500 --> 01:14:15,900
these two prophets tormented
them that dwelt on the earth.
1243
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,500
And after three and a half days
is Spirit of life from God
1244
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,300
entered into them, and they
stood upon their feet and great
1245
01:14:21,300 --> 01:14:24,100
fear fell upon them, which saw
them, and they heard a great
1246
01:14:24,100 --> 01:14:25,800
voice from Heaven saying, come
up hither.
1247
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:28,300
They sent it up to heaven in a
cloud and their enemies beheld
1248
01:14:28,300 --> 01:14:30,500
of them.
And the same hour, there was a
1249
01:14:30,500 --> 01:14:33,400
great earthquake and the tenth
part of the city fell, and in
1250
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,800
the earthquake were slain men,
7,000 And the remnant were
1251
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:38,600
affrighted in the gave glory to
the god of Heaven.
1252
01:14:41,700 --> 01:14:45,800
So when two two witnesses two,
prophets began to prophesy in
1253
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:48,500
Jerusalem and great power
unmistakable power.
1254
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:53,700
That means Jesus will come in
three and a half years.
1255
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:59,800
That's how I see that.
That's, that's the alarm Bell.
1256
01:15:01,100 --> 01:15:02,500
Absolutely.
Yeah.
1257
01:15:02,500 --> 01:15:03,900
No, because it spells it out
there.
1258
01:15:03,900 --> 01:15:08,700
Pretty clearly, doesn't it?
It's very specific to be short.
1259
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:12,200
Yeah.
Now.
1260
01:15:14,100 --> 01:15:17,700
So War in the United States, not
yet.
1261
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,200
Not yet.
Not yet.
1262
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:29,500
But and you know, that's
something we get an idea how
1263
01:15:29,500 --> 01:15:34,400
easily this could start.
We're starting to see open
1264
01:15:34,500 --> 01:15:36,400
Rebellion against.
Whoa.
1265
01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:38,700
Chasm.
Over Bud Light.
1266
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:41,200
Yep.
Yep.
1267
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:46,100
I mean something that small can
cause people to completely
1268
01:15:46,100 --> 01:15:50,600
decimate a very powerful
retailer.
1269
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:55,500
I mean, when something of any
real significance happens, there
1270
01:15:55,500 --> 01:15:58,400
is a segment of the populace
that they've happened.
1271
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:02,100
Well, yeah.
And, and, and this could be a
1272
01:16:02,100 --> 01:16:05,400
couple different things, right.
This could be civil war so to
1273
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:11,800
speak.
Yeah, um, look, I'm trying here
1274
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:18,100
to be sensitive about this, but
I don't think I can be, um, from
1275
01:16:18,100 --> 01:16:21,900
the from my time while living on
the East Coast.
1276
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:27,400
I have a good friend, I'm still
friends with it, and he was my
1277
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:32,100
next door neighbor.
Wasn't isn't a Mormon of any
1278
01:16:32,100 --> 01:16:36,500
kind and all I could ever get
out of him about where he worked
1279
01:16:36,500 --> 01:16:43,600
was quote, an agency inside out.
So take that for what it is.
1280
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:48,000
Yeah, but but we talk quite
often because he's, like, one of
1281
01:16:48,008 --> 01:16:51,700
those guys I never want to lose
contact with because he, he
1282
01:16:51,700 --> 01:16:54,500
knows right.
Yeah, he told me some
1283
01:16:54,500 --> 01:16:59,900
interesting stuff during covid.
That was pretty fast. mating,
1284
01:16:59,900 --> 01:17:05,800
which makes me think it did
start in the lab but oh well,
1285
01:17:07,500 --> 01:17:11,100
we've done some things through
this whole Ukraine, Russia thing
1286
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:18,500
that could be construed as as as
an act of War.
1287
01:17:21,700 --> 01:17:31,900
Specifically having to do with a
pipeline. and I can't confirm
1288
01:17:31,900 --> 01:17:39,100
it, but that's what I hear is
that, that was maybe Maybe we
1289
01:17:39,100 --> 01:17:42,700
had a hand in that.
Somehow not saying it was our
1290
01:17:42,700 --> 01:17:44,800
boys on the ground necessary,
right?
1291
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:49,400
But right, we funded that and so
you look at something like that,
1292
01:17:52,100 --> 01:17:56,800
it was, you know, we have spy
balloons, flying over the heart,
1293
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:01,700
the heartland of America, And
we're like, yeah, just let it
1294
01:18:01,700 --> 01:18:02,500
go.
What could go?
1295
01:18:02,500 --> 01:18:06,300
What could go wrong, right?
And I'm so this, I think this
1296
01:18:06,300 --> 01:18:13,000
idea that that somehow were
immune to an attack Or to an
1297
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:17,200
all-out war waged on our Shores.
I don't think seems as
1298
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,100
far-fetched today as it used to
be.
1299
01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:23,300
And so it could be like you're
saying Civil War.
1300
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:25,400
I mean that's, that's always a
possibility.
1301
01:18:25,700 --> 01:18:28,900
If we look at how the inner
cities now are eating
1302
01:18:28,900 --> 01:18:30,300
themselves.
I mean, look at this.
1303
01:18:30,300 --> 01:18:37,000
What's going on in Chicago?
I mean it's a bloodbath and of
1304
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:40,700
the political divide in the
United States right now is
1305
01:18:40,700 --> 01:18:43,100
Urban.
Is rural girl.
1306
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:44,700
Yep.
Yep.
1307
01:18:44,700 --> 01:18:49,700
You're absolutely right.
And the populations I think are
1308
01:18:49,700 --> 01:18:51,900
quite naturally dividing
themselves.
1309
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,200
For better and for worse.
I mean, I wouldn't wish this
1310
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:59,500
upon anyone.
No, but it's not getting better.
1311
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:01,200
It's not no waiting.
No.
1312
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:04,600
In the political hijinks, I
mean, I listened to your podcast
1313
01:19:05,300 --> 01:19:08,100
on abortion.
That was a hard one.
1314
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:13,500
That was a hard.
That was a very for me to do but
1315
01:19:13,500 --> 01:19:17,500
I'm like I said the dirty
tricks, the people play to try
1316
01:19:17,500 --> 01:19:20,200
and skirt the law to continue to
take.
1317
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:25,500
Innocent lives is utterly
shocking to me.
1318
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,400
And to me, that's that's a
canary in the coal mine, right?
1319
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:34,200
How we can treat children and I
don't care what anybody says.
1320
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:42,400
Look, That is a child that will
never become a transmission to a
1321
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:46,300
79 Buick within the womb.
Right?
1322
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:50,700
That is a person.
And so when you start and
1323
01:19:50,700 --> 01:19:53,600
completely innocent, yep.
And when we start engaging in
1324
01:19:53,608 --> 01:19:57,400
that behavior, we're done.
And I think I said this in the
1325
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:02,800
podcast when the Dobbs decision
came down I was overjoyed.
1326
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:06,300
I mean as a guy who adopted two
twins who struggled for life, I
1327
01:20:06,300 --> 01:20:09,200
was always Pro, right?
I was a weird kid, right?
1328
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:12,400
Like I would go party with my
buddies and then listen to Rush
1329
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:18,300
Limbaugh on my headphones during
during class.
1330
01:20:18,300 --> 01:20:23,000
So I was a weird kid.
So I've always slanted towards
1331
01:20:23,500 --> 01:20:28,500
pro-life on this but that got
ramped up when I saw my twins
1332
01:20:28,500 --> 01:20:31,400
fight for every breath.
Of Life they took.
1333
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:35,900
And I realized that the default
setting for everybody is life.
1334
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:44,200
When the dog decisions came
down, I wept in my car, I wept
1335
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:49,200
in my car and I came home and
that night, I fell on my knees
1336
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:55,500
and I thanked my God and what I
got back after I got up off my
1337
01:20:55,500 --> 01:21:01,500
knees and just contemplated and
I believe it was, you know, it
1338
01:21:01,500 --> 01:21:03,700
was a personal thing.
I'm not saying it's for anybody
1339
01:21:03,700 --> 01:21:08,300
else.
But what I what I got was don't
1340
01:21:08,300 --> 01:21:13,000
be too happy quite yet because
all I've done is allow people to
1341
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,800
separate themselves because
right now, you know, as it stood
1342
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:20,900
before, then our tax dollars
were going federally to support
1343
01:21:20,900 --> 01:21:25,100
this now.
Now people get to choose.
1344
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,900
Now people have the choice and a
strong.
1345
01:21:27,900 --> 01:21:30,500
Don't take me, it's not give me
CC.
1346
01:21:30,500 --> 01:21:33,900
Which states are funding
abortion.
1347
01:21:33,900 --> 01:21:36,600
I mean, we We'll fly you to a
state where it's still legal
1348
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:41,400
company companies and entities
or I'll pay for my employees to
1349
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:45,800
take time off to go get an
abortion as you say, separating
1350
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:47,100
ourselves.
Yep.
1351
01:21:47,100 --> 01:21:50,300
According to what we choose?
Yeah, if you live in a state,
1352
01:21:50,300 --> 01:21:53,900
that's doing that.
Hmm, right.
1353
01:21:53,900 --> 01:21:57,100
I mean, I'm not saying look,
everybody's circumstances going
1354
01:21:57,100 --> 01:21:59,900
to be different and you should
say and exactly where the Lord
1355
01:21:59,900 --> 01:22:01,700
tells you to stand.
Yeah.
1356
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:05,500
Having said that you may want to
think About voting with your
1357
01:22:05,500 --> 01:22:07,500
feet.
If you live in New York or
1358
01:22:07,500 --> 01:22:11,900
California where they're talking
about post birth abortion, you
1359
01:22:11,900 --> 01:22:16,200
might want to think about
getting out of Dodge Magnum
1360
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:18,400
crazy.
They would even consider that
1361
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:22,100
but it's on the table.
Now I know how is that?
1362
01:22:22,100 --> 01:22:26,100
Not murdered.
Yeah, mind-boggling you have
1363
01:22:26,100 --> 01:22:31,800
ugly and so again, I don't I
don't think this is over by any
1364
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:36,100
stretch of the imagination and I
think At this was a gift for
1365
01:22:36,100 --> 01:22:38,500
time that you get to make a
choice now.
1366
01:22:41,500 --> 01:22:44,300
All right.
Like you, I was thrilled with
1367
01:22:44,300 --> 01:22:45,900
that decision came down, I
thought, wow.
1368
01:22:45,900 --> 01:22:50,000
That was easier than I thought
it would be but then the Crusty
1369
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,400
part of me is like it ain't over
yet.
1370
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:57,100
We haven't even begun to see the
wicked machinations that work.
1371
01:22:57,900 --> 01:23:02,300
Well, in promote the taking of
innocent lives.
1372
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:07,500
I mean this is the Latter-Day
version of Child sacrifice.
1373
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:12,700
It is no you're 100% correct.
All that's happened.
1374
01:23:12,700 --> 01:23:17,400
Is that the Scarlet Robes of the
presymbolic have been replaced
1375
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:21,200
by white lab coats and scrubs in
abortion clinics?
1376
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,600
That's it.
That's the only thing that's
1377
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,000
changed.
It's just been repurposed and
1378
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:29,000
repackaged for modern
consumption, that's all they
1379
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,800
pray and they pray upon the
ignorant and the desperate.
1380
01:23:32,100 --> 01:23:34,700
Absolutely they do.
Absolutely.
1381
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:38,600
We they do and then if you want
to, you know, I had a buddy who
1382
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:42,300
just literally fled to the
United States from Canada
1383
01:23:42,700 --> 01:23:46,800
because Canada past the wall
that said, if you're a teenager
1384
01:23:47,500 --> 01:23:51,100
I think it's over the age of 14
but I could be wrong on that.
1385
01:23:51,700 --> 01:23:56,000
You can have medical assisted
suicide for depression.
1386
01:23:56,300 --> 01:23:58,500
If a doctor says it doesn't, he
doesn't see it getting any
1387
01:23:58,500 --> 01:24:01,600
better.
This guy had to take his whole
1388
01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:06,200
family to save his child.
And moved out of the country.
1389
01:24:06,300 --> 01:24:10,000
Fortunately his wife had dual
citizenship so they were able to
1390
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:13,600
get out of there but they were
weeks away from scheduling it.
1391
01:24:15,100 --> 01:24:19,900
There.
And this is the part where I get
1392
01:24:19,900 --> 01:24:21,500
is hard to believe.
Honestly.
1393
01:24:21,500 --> 01:24:23,500
Hard to believe.
Yeah, yeah.
1394
01:24:23,500 --> 01:24:26,500
But it's happening.
It's happening right before our
1395
01:24:26,500 --> 01:24:32,700
eyes and If we don't recognize
this for what it is, I mean,
1396
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:38,400
wow.
Yeah, we're there.
1397
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:44,500
I need to go get some Doritos.
Let's read through, but it's
1398
01:24:44,500 --> 01:24:45,600
macaques.
Yeah.
1399
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:47,500
Mountain of the Lord's house
shall be established in the
1400
01:24:47,500 --> 01:24:49,400
mountains, top of the mountains?
Sure.
1401
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:52,200
Yeah.
The Lord shall lift an enzyme
1402
01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:55,700
and gather Israel check Sun
shall be darkened and the moon
1403
01:24:55,700 --> 01:24:57,600
shall not cause her light shine
not yet.
1404
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:03,100
We see how possible it is.
Why that could be Man shall
1405
01:25:03,100 --> 01:25:04,700
transgress the law break the
Everlasting.
1406
01:25:04,700 --> 01:25:08,700
Covenant, check Nephi shall
speak as a voice from the dust.
1407
01:25:08,700 --> 01:25:12,100
Check is also be gathered with
power check.
1408
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:15,700
God will set up a kingdom, which
shall not be destroyed should
1409
01:25:15,700 --> 01:25:18,800
act, or is dreams, and Visions.
Will precede the second coming
1410
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,700
check.
All nations will gather against
1411
01:25:21,700 --> 01:25:25,800
Jerusalem to battle Armageddon.
Not yet the day, cometh, that
1412
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:27,700
shall burn as an oven.
Not yet.
1413
01:25:27,900 --> 01:25:29,600
Great calamities perceived his
incoming.
1414
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:34,800
Yes, you know, the one we take
for granted is the tsunami in
1415
01:25:34,900 --> 01:25:38,200
Thailand.
There's only one script for the
1416
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:41,700
Prophecies of the Seas, he being
beyond their bounds.
1417
01:25:41,700 --> 01:25:43,000
It's in the Doctrine and
Covenants.
1418
01:25:43,900 --> 01:25:47,600
None of us had ever knew what
that was until that tsunami.
1419
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:51,000
Now we had tsunami warnings.
That how will that get how
1420
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:56,900
easily that can happen?
Great collateral.
1421
01:25:56,900 --> 01:26:00,400
Paul described apostasy and
perilous times of the last days
1422
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:03,100
check.
Yep, two prophets will be slain.
1423
01:26:03,100 --> 01:26:06,600
There's our favorite is my
favorite not yet gospel shall be
1424
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:09,800
restored in the last days.
Check Babylon will be

01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:13,200
established in the fall.
Not yet is what we got the
1426
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,700
power.
Yes this is signing me know the

No yeah.
Yeah, war war will be poured out

Darkness covers the earth, I say
1432
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:41,000
not yet but darkness in the
parable of the ten virgins is
1433
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,700
wickedness or the absence of
light, right?
1434
01:26:43,700 --> 01:26:46,100
I think I would change that to a
red checkmark.
1435
01:26:46,100 --> 01:26:48,000
I think that's done.
I don't know why.
1436
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:50,300
Mark a blue.
The Lord commanded the Saints to
1437
01:26:50,300 --> 01:26:52,000
prepare for the second coming.
Yes.
1438
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:55,300
Yep.
So the final question or not
1439
01:26:55,500 --> 01:26:58,900
This if you look at all of the
things that just have the plus
1440
01:26:58,900 --> 01:27:03,400
Mark that we're still waiting
for how long would it take.
1441
01:27:04,300 --> 01:27:07,000
How much time would it take for
all of those to happen?
1442
01:27:08,100 --> 01:27:11,900
Not very long, you know?
And and here's what I've noticed
1443
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:17,700
since Now this comes from the
book of Dave.
1444
01:27:17,700 --> 01:27:20,900
I don't want anyone thinking
that this is Doc, I'm gonna get
1445
01:27:20,900 --> 01:27:22,500
it.
How can I get a copy of the
1446
01:27:22,500 --> 01:27:25,100
book?
And Dave, you wouldn't want.
1447
01:27:25,100 --> 01:27:28,600
It's just nothing for.
It's mostly just recipes.
1448
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:30,300
You can use with Doritos.
That's all it.
1449
01:27:30,300 --> 01:27:32,600
Is there a bit and the Regal
stains all over it, right?
1450
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:38,000
That's right.
Um, I've noticed since like I
1451
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:44,200
feel like when 9/11 happened, I
feel like that was the first of
1452
01:27:44,208 --> 01:27:47,100
the serious things that started
to happen, right?
1453
01:27:47,100 --> 01:27:52,400
Do you know, do you know that
the Towers falling is actually
1454
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:57,200
referenced and Isaiah really?
When the towers fell you look it
1455
01:27:57,200 --> 01:28:00,200
up an exam.
I'm going to have to do that.
1456
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:07,600
Very very specific crazy.
Anyway I like I like the parable
1457
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:11,300
of the woman in travail, she's
about to give labor, right?
1458
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:15,500
And for those of us with
children who have seen are our
1459
01:28:15,500 --> 01:28:18,900
wives, or if you're a woman
listening, you know, better than
1460
01:28:18,900 --> 01:28:25,000
me.
Those contractions start out.
1461
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:28,900
Somewhat mild somewhat space to
Heart, right?
1462
01:28:28,900 --> 01:28:32,800
Right.
And what I've felt since 9/11 is
1463
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:38,700
that those birth pangs are
happening more strongly and more
1464
01:28:38,700 --> 01:28:42,700
closely together.
So as we look at the rest of
1465
01:28:42,700 --> 01:28:48,100
that list, we think, you know,
if you were just passively
1466
01:28:48,100 --> 01:28:51,900
looking at it without thinking
about what's What's proceeded in
1467
01:28:51,900 --> 01:28:54,600
the past, right?
How far removed are we from 911
1468
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:56,700
now?
Ken like 25 years?
1469
01:28:56,700 --> 01:29:02,200
Probably not even that with 22
years. 22, was it 2011 2001?
1470
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:04,500
Yeah.
So yeah, 22 years.
1471
01:29:05,300 --> 01:29:10,300
Think about everything that has
changed 10 in that last 22
1472
01:29:10,300 --> 01:29:13,500
years.
Think about what we have seen
1473
01:29:14,300 --> 01:29:18,100
and then think about how much
quicker it seems to be coming.
1474
01:29:18,100 --> 01:29:23,000
Just one right after another.
Just bought every day, right?
1475
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,000
And so I wake up every day,
check the head.
1476
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,500
Headlines to see what is what
has happened now.
1477
01:29:30,900 --> 01:29:32,400
Yeah.
Yeah, everybody.
1478
01:29:32,700 --> 01:29:35,900
Absolutely.
So, while well again, you might
1479
01:29:35,900 --> 01:29:38,600
look at that passively without
looking at history as a
1480
01:29:38,608 --> 01:29:41,300
reference.
I think you can say that.
1481
01:29:41,300 --> 01:29:44,800
Since 9/11.
Those birth pangs, those
1482
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:49,600
contractions have started to
become stronger and closer
1483
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:54,500
together and closer together and
meaning that the time of the
1484
01:29:54,500 --> 01:29:57,500
event is at hand, right?
Right.
1485
01:29:57,500 --> 01:29:59,400
That we're getting to that
point.
1486
01:29:59,500 --> 01:30:02,400
I'll never pretend to tell
anyone when I think the savior's
1487
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:03,800
coming because I just don't
know.
1488
01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:07,300
Okay, when we're done here we
stop recording you and I are
1489
01:30:07,300 --> 01:30:08,800
going to tell each other.
What we think.
1490
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:13,700
Okay that sounds good.
So we will put five bucks on it.
1491
01:30:14,100 --> 01:30:17,000
Yeah.
With are worthless money at that
1492
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:18,200
point.
Right right.
1493
01:30:18,300 --> 01:30:22,800
But But yeah, I just think it's
closer and closer together and
1494
01:30:23,900 --> 01:30:27,800
for now we just have to look at
the events.
1495
01:30:28,900 --> 01:30:33,900
And again, I don't think it
takes a prophet or somebody with
1496
01:30:33,900 --> 01:30:37,700
a prophetic gift to say, if we
look at the history of the last
1497
01:30:37,700 --> 01:30:42,900
23 years, we can expect some of
those other events to start
1498
01:30:42,900 --> 01:30:48,500
coming quicker and suit and
closer to the next event after
1499
01:30:48,500 --> 01:30:54,300
that. well, if I were to bottom
line, all of this is what we
1500
01:30:54,300 --> 01:30:59,800
have to remember, most of all
The reason the signs are given
1501
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:02,900
is so that we won't be afraid,
right?
1502
01:31:03,500 --> 01:31:08,500
So that we won't lose heart, so
we won't lose hope and that is
1503
01:31:08,500 --> 01:31:12,000
hard and as difficult as think
and as horrific as some things
1504
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:16,500
are, what is it leading to the
greatest age in the history of
1505
01:31:16,500 --> 01:31:20,800
this world?
The age that every Prophet since
1506
01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:25,700
Adam has looked forward to we
are on the we're on the cusp of
1507
01:31:25,700 --> 01:31:29,500
that we are.
I mean, even to be alive Here
1508
01:31:29,500 --> 01:31:35,600
and Now, My blessing encourages
me to Rejoice that.
1509
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:38,400
I should see the Fulfillment of
Prophecy among the Nations.
1510
01:31:38,900 --> 01:31:41,000
Yeah.
It's like sitting on the 50-yard
1511
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:44,300
line, you know?
Super Bowl.
1512
01:31:44,500 --> 01:31:47,600
Yep.
Only far, far more impactful,
1513
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:53,400
obviously, but, and it's not
that and I don't rejoice in the
1514
01:31:53,407 --> 01:31:56,800
suffering of any.
Hmm, not even the way it.
1515
01:31:57,300 --> 01:32:02,500
No, but what I have to keep in
mind, Is that this is all in
1516
01:32:02,500 --> 01:32:09,600
preparation for a thousand years
Paradise, right?
1517
01:32:09,700 --> 01:32:12,200
Paradise.
Yep.
1518
01:32:12,900 --> 01:32:16,300
Yep.
India, the descriptions of That
1519
01:32:16,300 --> 01:32:23,600
Paradise are just I love the
section 76 when it describes the
1520
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:25,400
T.
Last whole Kingdom as the
1521
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:27,900
Kingman that surpasses all
understanding.
1522
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:30,700
Yeah.
And this to rest were world will
1523
01:32:30,700 --> 01:32:37,500
be beyond that, right?
So you know and God God is good
1524
01:32:37,500 --> 01:32:39,700
and merciful and gracious.
Yep.
1525
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:44,300
And I think that's important
that that we, we make that
1526
01:32:44,300 --> 01:32:49,500
point, right?
Is that Yes, these are going to
1527
01:32:49,500 --> 01:32:54,400
be frightening times.
However, I had a good friend
1528
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:58,500
when I when I live back East who
was an Evangelical, I believe it
1529
01:32:58,500 --> 01:33:03,300
was a Baptist and he made most
Mormons.
1530
01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:08,400
You know, look like rookies when
it came to reproduction, he had
1531
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:15,100
like nine kids, I mean, but, but
he was, he was one of the best
1532
01:33:15,100 --> 01:33:17,900
men that I ever met when I was
back there.
1533
01:33:18,700 --> 01:33:21,500
And he said something really
profound ones because we
1534
01:33:21,500 --> 01:33:25,800
compared notes to, you know,
what, each other believe.
1535
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:29,300
Because he'd only ever met
Mormon missionaries, he never
1536
01:33:29,300 --> 01:33:34,900
met one that just worked, right?
Yeah.
1537
01:33:35,100 --> 01:33:40,700
And so we were talking once
about the last days and he said
1538
01:33:40,700 --> 01:33:43,500
something he's like, you know,
I've kind of taken this approach
1539
01:33:43,500 --> 01:33:46,800
that.
Yes, you know, we may not all
1540
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:50,600
make it out unscathed, but I
feel like if we have a real good
1541
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:56,900
handle on Jesus first coming,
his second coming Won't seem so
1542
01:33:56,900 --> 01:34:01,500
terrible for those acquainted
with him and and whatnot.
1543
01:34:01,500 --> 01:34:04,300
And I thought that was a
profound statement and
1544
01:34:04,300 --> 01:34:07,400
absolutely, I mean, can you
imagine seeing all this, seeing
1545
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:12,100
this world, fall apart, right?
And not believing something
1546
01:34:12,100 --> 01:34:17,200
better is coming, right, right.
And it's still as funny to me, I
1547
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:20,700
know a lot of people who are
active participating Latter-day
1548
01:34:20,700 --> 01:34:27,200
Saints, Who really don't see the
second coming as a reality.
1549
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:32,700
It's too like a fairy tale, but
I understand why it is.
1550
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:36,600
It's like the greatest fairy
tale ever accept it because of
1551
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:40,200
what I know, it's as real to me
as anything.
1552
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:44,200
Absolutely can't get around.
Can't deny.
1553
01:34:44,900 --> 01:34:48,400
And I see the absurdity.
I, I see the, I clearly see the
1554
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:51,100
absurdity of such a belief on
the one hand.
1555
01:34:51,100 --> 01:34:53,800
On the other hand, I am
absolutely certain.
1556
01:34:54,600 --> 01:35:00,100
Yeah, it will, it will happen as
a rational individual, right?
1557
01:35:00,100 --> 01:35:03,600
You look back and you think, oh,
we got to be far away or
1558
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:06,200
whatever.
And yeah, and you're right.
1559
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:11,100
It is kind of a If you weren't a
Believer, it would seem like an
1560
01:35:11,100 --> 01:35:14,800
a, an absurd story.
But then, again, we're two guys
1561
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:17,000
who believed that there was a
young man in Upstate, New York,
1562
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:22,000
who saw God, right?
So, I mean, it's old plates,
1563
01:35:22,100 --> 01:35:23,500
right?
Right.
1564
01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:30,100
So, so we're riddled with with,
with, you know, unbelievable
1565
01:35:30,100 --> 01:35:35,300
stories.
But the fact that there have
1566
01:35:35,300 --> 01:35:40,900
been so many bull's-eyes within
the restored gospel It's
1567
01:35:40,900 --> 01:35:42,600
undeniable.
He's coming again.
1568
01:35:42,700 --> 01:35:46,100
You'll get here.
I mean with without that's where
1569
01:35:46,100 --> 01:35:48,000
I'm at.
That's where I'm at.
1570
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:52,600
You're sure.
So the the yeah, no, it's a
1571
01:35:52,600 --> 01:36:00,000
foregone conclusion, but I, I'll
tell you sometimes what I hear
1572
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:05,600
and I understand there have been
a lot of faults guesses in the
1573
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:09,000
past, mostly by other faiths.
Mhm.
1574
01:36:10,500 --> 01:36:13,600
Who will not be mentioned
because I don't have anybody
1575
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:17,900
right both in and out of
Mormonism, you know, oh, oh well
1576
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:19,800
and what?
You guess that he was going to
1577
01:36:19,808 --> 01:36:22,800
come in 1920.
Something, why didn't he?
1578
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:25,400
Oh he did.
He came for the second time in
1579
01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:27,100
heaven.
That's what really happened.
1580
01:36:27,500 --> 01:36:31,700
We all know that's a cop-out, we
all know that's a cop-out, but
1581
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:36,100
and I think that's, that's part
of Satan's and game to to trick
1582
01:36:36,100 --> 01:36:37,800
us enough times that we was
faith.
1583
01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:42,700
And this is why this list of
scientists so critical, right?
1584
01:36:42,700 --> 01:36:45,800
Could not have come before now
because they're all those signs
1585
01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:50,800
had yet to be fulfilled, right?
Significant number all of which,
1586
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:54,300
though, could be fulfilled in a
relatively short period of time.
1587
01:36:55,100 --> 01:36:57,800
Absolutely.
You know, the other thing I
1588
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:04,100
think, like, if you are, if
you're terrified by this, I
1589
01:37:04,100 --> 01:37:08,900
think this is probably This this
checklist should be one of those
1590
01:37:08,900 --> 01:37:11,700
things that maybe makes you stop
and think for a second.
1591
01:37:12,500 --> 01:37:15,400
Maybe I just need to do some
more preparing, right?
1592
01:37:15,500 --> 01:37:20,200
Get acquainted with God.
Now don't procrastinate this,
1593
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:23,100
don't wait because look at one
one way or another you're going
1594
01:37:23,100 --> 01:37:25,800
to meet right?
Whether yeah that's true.
1595
01:37:25,900 --> 01:37:31,000
Whether whether he's coming
tomorrow or whether you pass
1596
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:34,000
away at some point, you're going
to meet him.
1597
01:37:35,300 --> 01:37:36,500
You're the thing.
I like to meet him.
1598
01:37:36,500 --> 01:37:39,000
Yeah.
Well death is not the end.
1599
01:37:39,500 --> 01:37:41,700
Neither you died in
righteousness for dying
1600
01:37:41,700 --> 01:37:43,800
wickedness.
It will be a merciful death, all
1601
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:47,000
the same, right?
And here are two things I like
1602
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:49,700
to point out when I have these
conversations, if they're
1603
01:37:49,700 --> 01:37:52,100
Latter-Day Saint and they're
like, yeah, I don't think he's
1604
01:37:52,100 --> 01:37:55,200
gonna come anytime soon.
I'm like, excuse me.
1605
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:59,600
What church do you belong to the
Church of Jesus Christ of
1606
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:03,500
Latter?
Yeah, we believe these are the
1607
01:38:03,500 --> 01:38:04,800
last days.
Days.
1608
01:38:04,900 --> 01:38:07,900
I think a lot of people just
want to put that on want to
1609
01:38:07,900 --> 01:38:12,000
think about it and I understand,
I mean not everybody can be as
1610
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:15,000
obsessive as you and I and Drew
another's, right?
1611
01:38:15,300 --> 01:38:18,900
But the other thing I like to
point out all the Earth could
1612
01:38:18,900 --> 01:38:21,100
never be destroyed.
I'm like, you know what?
1613
01:38:22,300 --> 01:38:27,700
Even geological Sciences.
Tell us that it has already
1614
01:38:27,700 --> 01:38:29,900
happened on this Earth at least
five times.
1615
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:34,500
Yeah.
The Earth has been destroyed
1616
01:38:35,100 --> 01:38:40,500
decimated and made over again.
Just like Joseph Smith said,
1617
01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:44,400
yep, yep, kills us talked about
that.
1618
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:47,200
Yep, wow.
Anyway, yeah, no.
1619
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:49,900
I mean, look Yellowstone.
He, you can't believe it's
1620
01:38:49,900 --> 01:38:51,500
happened.
Well, it already has happened.
1621
01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:55,100
I was going to say Sir that
Yellowstone has done some damage
1622
01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:56,000
before.
Yeah.
1623
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:59,000
Right.
And it's entirely possible, it
1624
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:01,700
could do it again.
So and that was just a little
1625
01:39:01,700 --> 01:39:04,400
tea.
Five mass extinction events,
1626
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:06,100
right?
Life had to be started.
1627
01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:09,000
A new world.
Had to be planted on this Earth.
1628
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,600
The world of Adam being the most
recent iteration of that.
1629
01:39:12,100 --> 01:39:14,000
Yep.
Absolutely.
1630
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:18,100
I'm sorry, I'm mistaken.
The world of Noah is the most
1631
01:39:18,100 --> 01:39:21,800
recent iteration because the
world has already been the world
1632
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:25,000
of Adam was destroyed and the
world of Noah they had to
1633
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:27,500
reboot, right?
Yep.
1634
01:39:27,500 --> 01:39:30,700
Yeah, yeah.
So yeah it.
1635
01:39:30,700 --> 01:39:35,900
Yeah.
You just and I guess I I'd want
1636
01:39:35,900 --> 01:39:40,600
to end here, right?
Which is If you find this list,
1637
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:44,500
utterly terrifying, there's a
reason for it, right?
1638
01:39:46,300 --> 01:39:50,000
I like what you opened with the
great and Dreadful day of the
1639
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:56,800
Lord, I think, I think when
those, some of these other
1640
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:59,300
prophecies are fulfilled,
especially the ones that are
1641
01:39:59,300 --> 01:40:04,300
just brutal.
I think we have to stay fixed on
1642
01:40:04,300 --> 01:40:08,600
what the end is right?
What what, what the end goal or
1643
01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:12,600
the end event is right?
The the reappear appearance of
1644
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:17,100
the Savior and that and to
remember understand that the
1645
01:40:17,100 --> 01:40:22,200
Fulfillment of the Earth being
restored to its paired cycle,
1646
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:29,200
Glory Far, and Away, ouch signs,
and outweighs any terrible thing
1647
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:30,400
that could happen to leading up
to it.
1648
01:40:31,900 --> 01:40:34,500
God is a loving God.
Merciful god.
1649
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:37,100
And the only reason he's
destroying the Earth is to
1650
01:40:37,100 --> 01:40:39,800
preserve the righteous.
There was there was no other way
1651
01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:42,300
for that to happen.
It will be so wicked.
1652
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:47,100
One of the most beautiful
scriptures, I think I can.
1653
01:40:48,700 --> 01:40:51,500
Always in the back of my mind
when I'm looking at stuff, like,
1654
01:40:51,500 --> 01:40:56,500
this is in Revelations where it
says animals wipe away every
1655
01:40:56,500 --> 01:40:59,000
tear.
I was just thinking of that very
1656
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:02,300
scripture, I promise you.
Yeah, I know, yeah, I don't
1657
01:41:02,300 --> 01:41:06,200
doubt that a bit Ken, where he
wipes away, every tear and takes
1658
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:12,000
away every sorrow.
That's what this all goes goes
1659
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:18,200
towards, right?
Is I think at that point will
1660
01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:22,300
start to understand the
atonement in a much more
1661
01:41:22,300 --> 01:41:25,900
profound way and what it's
capable of doing the love of
1662
01:41:25,900 --> 01:41:28,700
God, thanks to, yeah, thanks to
our.
1663
01:41:28,700 --> 01:41:33,500
He wants to do what he wants to
do for us, what he has done for
1664
01:41:33,500 --> 01:41:34,900
us.
The think one of the things I
1665
01:41:34,907 --> 01:41:38,700
love about the Millennium is
when Christ comes again.
1666
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:41,900
How does he celebrate his
arrival?
1667
01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:47,300
It's a feast, right?
A Feast, a banquet.
1668
01:41:47,500 --> 01:41:52,600
I mean, figuratively.
And I believe, literally, I do
1669
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:58,100
text for him.
That's that's fun to gather
1670
01:41:58,100 --> 01:42:01,600
together with his people.
Yep.
1671
01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:05,200
And to just celebrate being
together.
1672
01:42:05,500 --> 01:42:08,000
Living together.
I was reading 3rd Nephi again.
1673
01:42:08,500 --> 01:42:12,500
When Christ was amongst the
people about a foot, When he
1674
01:42:12,500 --> 01:42:17,700
appeared and what it was that
made him weep he wept for, he
1675
01:42:17,700 --> 01:42:24,200
was so happy to to feel of their
love and to be able to love them
1676
01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:28,800
fully that he wept to have that
kind of insight into the type of
1677
01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:33,700
person that our savior is and
why extension.
1678
01:42:33,700 --> 01:42:37,400
Our father is is very touching
to me.
1679
01:42:38,500 --> 01:42:40,300
Yeah.
The thinking they're they're not
1680
01:42:40,300 --> 01:42:42,900
in person, they're not
Impersonal.
1681
01:42:42,900 --> 01:42:46,600
They are very personable.
They want to hold children.
1682
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:48,700
They want to laugh.
I want to play.
1683
01:42:48,700 --> 01:42:53,500
They want to sing with us to us
for us.
1684
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:57,700
We want to eat with us?
Yeah, yeah.
1685
01:42:57,700 --> 01:43:00,000
Yeah.
Can you imagine anything more
1686
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:03,800
wonderful.
Well I think I think you would I
1687
01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:05,800
pass in five dollar bills back
and forth.
1688
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:07,600
That's right.
That's right there.
1689
01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:10,200
Yeah, exactly exactly.
Yeah, no.
1690
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:12,200
I really do.
I think.
1691
01:43:13,300 --> 01:43:19,600
And I think you're right is we
we tend to look at God and we
1692
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:23,900
think and the Savior as well and
we tend to think of them as far
1693
01:43:23,900 --> 01:43:31,800
off and not personable and not
Not someone that we could
1694
01:43:31,800 --> 01:43:36,300
identify with or whatever.
Well, it's a conundrum because
1695
01:43:36,300 --> 01:43:39,800
they're so great and So
Glorious, we cannot even bear
1696
01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:43,200
their physical presence, right?
But their greatness, and glory
1697
01:43:44,300 --> 01:43:48,100
is exceeded by their love.
That's, yeah, that's the crazy
1698
01:43:48,100 --> 01:43:53,200
thing their love for us, their
desire to be with us.
1699
01:43:55,100 --> 01:43:59,300
And to share Joy with us exceeds
their Glory.
1700
01:43:59,300 --> 01:44:03,700
I mean it's part of their Glory.
I've only ever shared this story
1701
01:44:03,700 --> 01:44:08,200
with my wife but I feel prompted
to share it here.
1702
01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:15,000
When I was still in the LDS
church, I just come into the
1703
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:20,300
church.
I was I was probably all of you
1704
01:44:20,300 --> 01:44:28,400
know, 2021 maybe and I was
giving this home assignment a
1705
01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:33,600
home teaching assignment to a
woman named Camille and Camille
1706
01:44:35,900 --> 01:44:41,100
was just she was an absolute
rock star in a lot of ways.
1707
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:46,000
I mean, she just lived the
gospels best as she could.
1708
01:44:46,700 --> 01:44:50,400
And Camille got diagnosed with
stage four, cancer.
1709
01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:55,100
I can't remember what kind.
And so, it was me and a member
1710
01:44:55,100 --> 01:44:57,600
of the bishopric who were
assigned as her home teachers
1711
01:44:57,600 --> 01:45:01,400
and I felt horribly awkward, you
know, what am I going to say to
1712
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:03,900
her?
What, what can I say to her one?
1713
01:45:03,900 --> 01:45:07,500
I'm brand-new was a Mormon.
I don't, I'm still figuring out
1714
01:45:07,500 --> 01:45:13,100
the doctrine at that point.
And what I didn't, I went over
1715
01:45:13,100 --> 01:45:17,200
there trying to be as of much
Service as I could be right,
1716
01:45:17,200 --> 01:45:21,200
anything she needed.
Yeah but she taught me way more
1717
01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:27,800
than I did for her at any any
sort of measure.
1718
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:35,600
And I remember when she was
close, she was probably, I don't
1719
01:45:35,600 --> 01:45:38,900
know.
I'll bet you, it wasn't more
1720
01:45:38,900 --> 01:45:42,800
than 24 hours.
Before that, that she asked me
1721
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:45,600
and my home teaching, companion
to go over and meet with her.
1722
01:45:47,300 --> 01:45:53,300
And when we went, she was
remarkably alert at that stage.
1723
01:45:54,400 --> 01:46:00,500
and, she said something that
that has stuck with me forever
1724
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:11,300
and she said, I had a visitation
last night. and, I saw the
1725
01:46:11,300 --> 01:46:21,000
Savior and he is so warm. and
he, he talked to me at length
1726
01:46:21,100 --> 01:46:28,300
about what I can expect.
And I know some will say, you
1727
01:46:28,300 --> 01:46:34,100
know, it was medication or it
was the bodies act in dying, but
1728
01:46:34,100 --> 01:46:37,400
in feeling and she didn't have a
lot of family either, she was
1729
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:39,200
adopted, she had a real hard
wife.
1730
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:47,500
But she prevailed right?
And And I could see the Savior
1731
01:46:47,500 --> 01:46:53,600
coming to someone like that.
And her descriptions of him.
1732
01:46:54,300 --> 01:46:57,900
Just speaking with her just
talking with her and I don't
1733
01:46:57,900 --> 01:47:03,100
dare divulge what it is.
She said on the podcast here, in
1734
01:47:03,100 --> 01:47:11,800
its entirety But it painted a
picture. of a man whose And I
1735
01:47:11,808 --> 01:47:17,700
say man with quotes right he is
the same but a man a person full
1736
01:47:17,700 --> 01:47:22,900
of love and caring and the thing
she said to me that stuck out
1737
01:47:22,900 --> 01:47:27,500
the most is I knew him.
And he knew me.
1738
01:47:30,300 --> 01:47:35,500
And he was way more familiar
than I ever knew who he was.
1739
01:47:37,200 --> 01:47:41,200
And so as we get to this point
these points, where things get
1740
01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:45,200
dicey in this world and things
get rough, whether it's on this
1741
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:49,100
stage at, we've been talking
about the macro or the micro.
1742
01:47:49,700 --> 01:47:55,600
Yeah, Our Saviors, everyone kept
our savior stands, able and
1743
01:47:55,600 --> 01:48:03,500
willing, To heal broken hearts.
If it's his will to heal bodies
1744
01:48:04,100 --> 01:48:07,500
and I think that's what we
should look forward to.
1745
01:48:07,500 --> 01:48:12,500
We should we should look forward
to that verse in Revelation, we
1746
01:48:12,500 --> 01:48:18,400
should look forward to being as
the Nephites were and watching
1747
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:20,500
miracles happen at his coming
with that.
1748
01:48:20,500 --> 01:48:25,000
He bless his children and heals
the sick that 3rd Nephi account
1749
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:28,700
which gives the single best
description of his Persona.
1750
01:48:28,900 --> 01:48:32,300
Yeah, absolutely is.
Is what he wants.
1751
01:48:32,300 --> 01:48:35,100
And the fact, you know, what is
your tell me about this woman?
1752
01:48:36,100 --> 01:48:41,200
And I don't doubt it in a
slightest of the billions upon
1753
01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:44,600
billions of beings for whom he
is responsible.
1754
01:48:45,100 --> 01:48:50,100
He wants to take time
specifically to appear to this
1755
01:48:50,100 --> 01:48:53,500
one person.
Yes, one week mortal, and to
1756
01:48:53,500 --> 01:48:57,400
comfort her and to love her.
Yeah, and no point was made
1757
01:48:57,400 --> 01:49:00,600
about our vicarious ordinances
in the temple.
1758
01:49:00,900 --> 01:49:04,600
We don't do them in batches, you
don't do them in groups.
1759
01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:10,400
We do them individually and we
say their names out loud in the
1760
01:49:10,400 --> 01:49:13,900
temples for the first time
sometimes in Polonia.
1761
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:20,100
Yeah, because salvation is an
individual work.
1762
01:49:20,500 --> 01:49:24,400
Absolutely.
Absolutely 10.
1763
01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:27,200

you brother.
