Just happened upon this channel, and I am LOVING it so far!!! This episode was AWESOME, and I can hardly wait to read more from Michael. Yes, Meghan, I am inspired to go back and re-read the scriptures and study more deeply!!! Thank you for sharing with us!!!
Thanks so much, I have been trying to find someone who knew about Isaiah from an LDS perspective. I am 81 years old and I first learned about the secret combinations when I was 16 and heard Dan Smoot on TV. Later moving to Provo, Utah with my husband and children, in 1966 I was able to I attend a speech in the assembly hall on Temple Square of Ezra Taft Benson's speech, Stand up for Freedom. I have been active in exposing their secret combinations ever since then, and Isaiah and the book of Mormon, all points to what we should be doing about them. Thank you for this insight from Michael Rush. Very very interesting and has validated what I have known and been thinking. Thank you..
Wow, thanks for sharing! I highly recommend the Isaiah Institute as well for information on Isaiah. There are so many incredible resources to learn from!
Wow! Your both awesome ❤ I thank the Lord and Heavenly Father for my teachers! I have gained a deeper insight of how great God is and that has made my prayers and thoughts and testimony to others stronger! Thank you
Agreed! Our mission is to help disciples boldly live the gospel, recognize the signs of the times, and prepare to receive our Savior. Thank you for joining us!
I just love this talk ! I agree with the skimming across the water statement!!! I keep saying that doing the basics of the gospel is like ; being out on the water in a small boat ! It’s nice , pretty, good feelings , enjoyable!!! But then when you decide to peer over the side of the boat you see the bottom of the lake and it’s beautiful, will make you want to put on a snorkel and mask and explore! To which at this point Heavenly Father adorns you with a wetsuit, air tanks and brings you on the most incredible adventure of exploring even deeper! Our Lord is just waiting for us to make the first step forward and he will teach us the mysteries 🥰
My take on all of this is.......the Lord saw fit to tell us at the young adult conference to look beyond this life and into the eternities. To not become encroached by the last days but to maintain heavenward vision.
For sure! My study of the last days has been most meaningful for the very reason that it has opened my eyes to our current and eternal opportunities. I feel so much closer to my Savior, and am more familiar with the covenant path back to Him as a result. Thanks for your input!
Elder Bednar just had a conference with the Philllipino Saints( 3/2023, and he said what is happening there is greater than Moses parting the Red Sea! It has the 3 rd. largest members of the Church is that country that was opened to the preaching of the Gospel in the 1960s!. It makes me wonder if this is the fullfillng of that prophecy?
So great! I think that all prophecies will be fulfilled on multiple levels and this could be one fulfillment of it! I also believe that we will see global miracles of a similar nature to the deliverance of the Lord's end-time people that make the Red Sea parting look like child's play. So much we have to look forward to!
I am subscribed to another LDS base channel and I can say that there are members out there that doesn't believe in a main Anti-Christ or a group of the 10 lost Tribes, primarily because the Brethren aren't talking about it. I've tried to even share my testimony of the Lord teaching me about there being a main Anti-Christ, to what appeared to be no avail. I am a teenager of the 70's and was taught by the older generation about these and other Last Days topics that I've always believed in from the get go.
I agree, there seems to be significant ignorance on this topic that other Christians have a better handle on. I'm hoping we can educate so that others will be more aware!
Maybe you should expand your paradigm to include LDS Remnants. If you're not hearing at least what these 2 people are talking about, from the brethren, perhaps they simply don't know. They are watchmen who have abandoned their posts.
So glad you’re doing this podcast. I look forward to seeing where you go from here. I have listened to all Michael’s UA-cam’s and his books are wonderful. They have brought so many things into focus for me and tied so much together.
Thanks Carol! We feel privileged to serve the Lord and our fellow disciples in this capacity, along with other great members like Michael and yourself!
Good point! I believe it says "shall" or "should" which is not necessarily a guarantee that all of us will be deceived. We should certainly have hope that as we deepen our discipleship and walk with the Holy Ghost, we will be enabled to perceive truth.
@@lddisciplespodcast It says "if possible, they shall deceive the very elect" (jst matt 22) To me that sounds like it is it may not be possible to deceive the elect. But defiantly does not say the elect will be deceived.
I appreciated this podcast and I've been enjoying Bro Rush's perspectives. I've been watching what's happening by elitists lately and trying to mesh it with what scripture tells us about the end times. The anti-christ persona sounds like someone who possibly is able to achieve some transhumanist state (meshing AI, robotics and biology in a human being) - that's one possible way that 1 person could achieve such power.
@@nancid5265 I think you may be mistaken in this respect. The scriptures cited by Michael Rush clearly state that a specific individual will be labeled as an anti-Christ b/c of their beliefs and actions. I believe what church leadership has tried to teach is that anti-Christ is not any one person, place or organization - it is a belief system. Anti-Christs have existed ever since human beings existed, but this specific individual is going to be a very powerful and faith destroying force in the last days and he is labeled an anti-Christ, thus could be loosely called "The anti-Christ".
I expect K. Charles will lay a a 10 cubit statue, given to him, by President, of Brazil to put this in the Holy of Holies at the Jerusalem Temple, in due time... Look a Rev Chap 13: & King Charles' Coat of Arms He is known as the Environment Savior
Isn't part of the calling and duty of the Apostles to inform and declare to the members what is coming? Otherwise maybe only a dozen people will be saved.
It is challenging to try to change perceptions and beliefs that run so deep! But even if one person is touched to study it for themselves, you are doing awesome!
I am so confused about the anti-christ? There is definitely two groups of people in the church of jesus christ of latter day Saints thinkings about the anti-christ. @christianhomestead has a playlist to show there isn’t one anti-christ (besides satin and his pawns aka anyone who is an anti christ) . I know i need to do an even deeper scripture / recent prophets/ apostles talk studies, but it would be nice for a clear answer from a prophet
Hey Michael I'm an avid student of your teachings of the last days. I will get to the point I would like to start teaching my fellow latter Day saints these principles such as the gathering of israel, the antichrist, the w**** of Babylon or secret combination to the last days. So that I might help prepare them for the second coming of the savior. My question is this. Do you have any advice on how to begin teaching these principles and Truth to those who are willing to listen. Thanks Michael your thoughts are always appreciated.....
There are many passages in the scriptures that talk about these things, I would have them read some of the passages and ask them what they think they mean. That should at least get them thinking about it. It may then lead to a more detailed conversation about it.
You make a fair argument! Of course, living on milk is developmentally unsustainable and you'll eventually starve on a diet of nothing but. ;) I'm afraid that is a condition many who have left the Church are experiencing. It is so easy to think that the gospel we live is all there is. I'm hopeful we can make it known far and wide that there is so much MORE to enjoy, MORE that the Lord wants to and needs to give us. Thanks for listening!
@@lddisciplespodcast - I just read the JST of Gen14. Wow! I don't know how I missed this... Thanks for pointing it out. Yep, stuff like this is "coming soon to a theatre near you." Thanks for this, I enjoyed it.
Thanks for expressing this! I don't 100% agree with his views either, but I think its wise to expose ourselves to anywhere truth can be found - which is nearly everywhere. :)
The leaders of the Church have been warning his members about personal revelations while studying the scriptures for many years this nothing new As a matter of fact one of Joseph Smith’s comment to the apostles before his martyrdom shows his disappointment about how little those present in that meeting understood about the future of the church and the impact will have in this world
Thanks for this insight! I'm afraid we still don't understand as much as we could about the destiny of the Church and what will transpire to bring forth the Kingdom of God.
Hi Kathryn, that's a great question! I think the idea of a rapture is more nuanced than just Christ's people being automatically whisked away prior to the tribulation. I do believe that righteous adherence to every word of God will provide protection against much trial, but I don't believe we will be exempted from having to go through this time period, including the time of the Antichrist. Indeed, one of the primary characteristics of the Antichrist that we read in the Bible is that he will oppress and even overcome many Saints. That would be an impossibility if all the Saints were taken up. I'd love to discuss alternative perspectives on the rapture if you're interested! Thanks for being with us!
@@lddisciplespodcast I hear what you are saying. I've understood those who are "lukewarm" may have to deal with the A/C. None of us want to be on that list; "outside the boat" if you will. Those who are better get raptured just before the A/C rears his ugly head. This seems to parallel the biblical model. This is hard because people have interpreted this differently for so long. I'm definitely a pretribber. I hope I am right.
@@kathrynowens3324 There is a point in the book of Revelation, in the New Testament, that the Saints are caught up with Christ and protected, but in all my reading this will come after the seven years of tribulation. The rapture is a relatively new idea that gained a lot of traction among evnagelicals and others. I just don't see that in the scriptures. I think this could be an idea that would cause many to disbelieve in the church and their dependence on God if they do rely on this. Truly tough times are ahead. Christians in the West have been spared much of it until now, while many in some locations within the Middle East have been severely persecuted and killed for their belief. This may become much more relevant to us faster than we believe. The only way we survive will be to develop the ability of communication with the Holy Ghost in our prayers and reflection with God. Even then everyone will not be spared, but we can have faith that we will enter paradise if we do die. This may seem dire, but I suspect it will be reality.

Huge fan of Mike’s work! Thanks for this great interview and for having him on. Well done! 👏🏼
He's wonderful! Thanks for listening!
Thank you for this! I eat up everything Michael writes and says. What a blessing his insights are to us.
He truly has some amazing insights!
Great Podcast, I didn't want it to end. I'm voting for a part 2
Your vote is noted! Thank you! :)

I have expected miracles and I see them almost every day big and small. God's hand is in our lives whether we see it or not.
Amen!
Thank you ...this is excellent!
Glad it was helpful!
I have read all 4 of his books and read the scriptures included!!! AMAZING things well worth the read!!!

We're reading over the old Testament because it's a foreshadow of God deliverance in the last days.
