Am I prepared to enter Zion?

I feel we are in a strange predicament right now; living in the world while trying to not be of the world. I am sure that prior to us entering Zion we will be stripped of all things. Those who are still attached to the world will not be able to release it. Their appetites and passions will still be centered on all the world has to offer, even if the world is broken. While those humble followers of God will give all they have and if it so be, leave all they have behind in order to follow God.

Matt Jeppson Review – Tav & Aleph

I felt as though there was some significance to the 2017 and 2024 eclipses. I knew they were in the “last days” and I knew they were 7 years apart, which is symbolic of God and Righteousness. I also knew they made an X over the New Madrid fault. I also knew the Heartlanders believed the spot where they will intersect like an X may have been a Nephite place of gathering. How they timestamped the events of the last days I did not know. Clearly all speculation.

Meme – Our Souls Cry Out

“Our souls cry out: ‘God hasten the day of the coming of thy Son,’ and yet we know that such cannot be. The day is fixed and the hour is set. The signs have been, are now, and will hereafter be shown forth. Our obligation is to discern the signs of the times lest we, with the world, be taken unawares” – McConkie, Millennial Messiah, 405

Meme – In the Book of Mormon

President Benson said, “In the Book of Mormon we find a pattern for preparing for the Second Coming. A major portion of the book centers on the few decades just prior to Christ’s coming to America. By careful study of that time period we can determine why some were destroyed in the terrible judgments that preceded His coming and what brought others to stand at the temple in the land of Bountiful and thrust their hands into the wounds of his hands and feet.” – President Ezra Taft Benson
