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

NYNYS Mission – September 19-30, 1996

Wow, the day was interesting.   We worked for a while at lunch then worked and visited a member.  They fed us about an hour and a half later we had a dinner appointment and ate a lot again. Then taught someone and our last appointment, at Caesars. They fed us again.  I couldn’t take it.  Every bite was torture to me.  I turned to my comp.  We need to go.  Now!  I had to leave, I was going to blow at any moment.  When I stood up I knew it was going to happen.  I got my bag, but my comp wouldn’t hurry.  I stood by the door to the bathroom.  I said, “Boy, the food was good.”  They were like, “Right, that is why you’re green.”  I was like, “Honestly, I loved the food.”  Just then my stomach curled and I stepped into the bathroom.  I realized I wasn’t going to make it.  They were all looking at me.  Then all of a sudden as I was moving into the bathroom… blauuugh… my hand went up toward my mouth, but the food shot out of my mouth spewing all over the sink and mirror.  I was so embarrassed.   [Thinking to myself] I’m like, yeah, the food is good but I just didn’t have enough room for it.
