    I recently got off my mission, but when I was on my mission, I had a dream that was very vivid regarding the end of days. To me it was from God because in my dream I felt the spirit so immensely strong.
    In the dream I saw all of the LDS members of this generation, and I instantly understood (I don’t know how) that we were the strongest of Gods children. After that, I saw the world grow in turmoil until finally the economy and other necessities in America completely fell apart. In my dream it was instant. We all thought life was good, but then the next day everything came crashing down. Lastly at the end of my dream, I saw a temple sealing. The Spirit told me strongly that it was vital to be sealed. Since this time, I got married shortly after my mission to the most spiritual person I have ever met. And she and I plan on being sealed in this coming month.
    Ultimately, I really think the 2nd coming is soon. And I mean REAL soon. Not in 10 years. Less. Pray, go to the temple, and ask God to teach you for yourself. I have a testimony that you can receive revelations about the end days if you have the faith to. God bless y’all!

    The bottom of the ninth inning is an interesting Analogy. You don’t have a bottom of the ninth inning unless it looks like your team is losing! This is the inning when Christ and his team come back and score the winning runs! We truly will see the most miraculous events during this ninth inning! And I’m excited that there are people that are as passionate about this as I am! I guess it’s time to put on a rally hats!

    Please pray for me. I used to be a member of the church, but due to abuse and spiritual attacks, I left. I still believe the church is true, but have found it challenging to return- like a tidal wave cascading towards me and continually pushing me away and knocking me down. My faith has dwindled in Jesus Christ and in God, but I have known their mercies and seen miracles in my life. I still know this is the Church of Jesus Christ, but I feel so lost. Please pray that God will have mercy upon me, despite my mistakes. 🙏🏽 God bless you all and thank you for this important video, especially in these last days.

    I’d like to share my story if that's okay.
    I am a Welshman, though I have lived the majority of my life in Australia now. I have been a member since I was baptised at 18 (1998) (my father is not a member, so I had to wait).
    Around October/November ’22 I was reading at my home in Melbourne when a sudden overwhelming prompting came over me.
    I heard and felt in my head “Prepare to leave. Start getting your paperwork in order, start cutting ties, and clearing things out. You are being sent somewhere!”
    So overwhelmingly strong was the prompting, that I felt I’d burst if I didn’t instantly begin. So, I instantly started to apply for paperwork so I could get my passport.
    This was instantly accompanied by a burst of spiritual energy that confirmed I was on the right track, began changing, and preparing me with strength and faith to press forward. I definitely needed that energy as I faced multiple trials. Not least of which was I had no clue where or when I was going. How do you prepare when you can’t answer When, where, why or how?
    I applied for my UK passport assuming I would be sent back to Britain, and applied for a basic American visa (what’s called an ESTA that gives 90 days) just to “cover my bases” as I doubted, I’d be sent there. I also began googling dates, places and flights over and over again.
    After several months of this I realised I was googling Salt Lake City 6th of October every time. After a particularly challenging day I looked at my laptop and saw a flight, and just knew it was the one, so I booked it. A wave of calm came over me. The site linked to hotels and I saw one, and knew I had to book it, so, I did.
    I knew now where and when, but as I looked at the plans, I thought they made no sense. I couldn’t work on the visa, it was only 90 days, I knew no one there, I had nothing there it looked doomed to fail.
    I thought I’ll apply for other visas, I’ll reach out and make connections, start talking to people and set things up for myself…
    I was instantly constrained. I heard in my head “This is a faith exercise. If you know it will succeed before you go, then where’s the faith? Just trust!”
    I also asked at this time “why am I going, and what will I experience?”
    For the first question, I was told “The sun is about to set, and I need you there to help when the darkness comes.” And to my second I was told “Death, darkness and pain.”
    I quit my job, gave everything I owned away and got on the plane with just a suitcase of clothes and a little carry on, on the 6th of October '23.
    This was the beginning of my journey. It has been filled with ever increasing challenges, trials, fear, faith, light and revelation. Most of my old life has been striped away from me, and I am being led on through greater changes. I cannot see the path ahead of me, but everything is telling me we are on a precipice. There is such an urgency I feel. I have to share. Prepare now!
    (Sorry for the length)

      I am glad I came back to this video to rewatch it bc it is so excellent! But I saw your comment and I have just been going through kind of similar experience. I am 70 yrs old and my husband passed away a year and 1/2 ago. Recently, all of a sudden , I feel compelled to get rid of everything in my home that I do not need, maybe keep enough for a one-bedroom apartment- I live in a house now, but I do not know why I just keep getting promptings and thoughts of what to get rid or what to do with things. For instance,I have maybe 50 framed photos of family around my house that I had displayed for many years and felt prompted to take them all out of the frames and put into an album to give to my daughter. I do not think I am going to pass away yet. I think maybe I am going to go on a full-time mission or something is going to happen that I will have to move quickly. I don't know but I am just going on faith and know the Lord will "guide me as he has in the past"

    A sister working in the Salt Lake temple, before it was closed down, was in the sealing office. President Nelson walked by then he turned around and came back into the room and walked up to her, looked her in the eye and said, "the Savior is coming sooner than you think." Then he turned and walked out. She immediately wrote it down, took a pic of her note then sent it to her kids. Her son told this story to my MIL's stake conference and showed the pic. I love this story. I feel it is near in my very core. I know I'm not ready but I can't wait!

    I am 78. At age 4, I saw an angel. I was in a cubby place and I saw a female with long black hair with her arms outstretched but her face turned from me and pass by me and thru the wall of the small cubby place. Her white cloving covered her arms and body so I could not see skin colour. There was no gravity as her hair was along her back. I knew then that angels don't have wings. As a wise child I kept it to myself until just before I turned 18, when I heard about the church that my telling my parents of that incident gave me permission to join the church 2 weeks shy of my 18th birthday. And 2 missionaries had helped my dad lay bricks for our new house and had given him a Book of Mormon which he read. My dad was reading dictionaries at age 7. My dad also as a child in a cot had seen an angel. Another thing that happened at age 4 was when with my younger sister i looked at the helicopters in the sky and said to my sister 'I don't know how I got in this family but I know I am from a Royal House'. A year after I joined the church I had my patriarchal blessing and I was from the Tribe of Judah. I just knew I was from a royal house from age 4. My eldest grandson is also from the Tribe of Judah and did his mission in Germany where my people came from but had moved to Lithuania and for safety became Lutherans. Over 50 years ago when President Kimball was an apostle he said at a conference in Melbourne Australia 'The day will come when we will send ocean liners to take you to safety, but for all who would heed the call we most as well have sent tug boats.' I also saw myself in the pre existence with a lady telling about what was to come with 2 other ladies and after we met in groups of 2 or 3 we explained about it to other women and years later a new lady moved to our ward in Melbourne and it was the one I saw in the pre-existence and she became our relief Society President. When my husband died I saw him with his parents and first wife sitting together. Each day as I knelt I saw also my dad come in dressed in his temple clothes and smile. My deceased husband came up close and said he should have tried to live longer but a voice from behind me, who I wasn't allowed to see, said to him 'She is going to be alright. This is where you are meant to be now'. As a child of about 10 walking home from school a voice called out to me 'Julie look down' I looked and I was about to step on a deadly tiger snake. I was half a mile from home. I knew it was my mother's mother who had called out to me. They wanted their work done and only I would be able to do it. And oh the rejoicing in the temple when that came true for them.

Since our conversion in 1971, my husband and I have thrilled at our knowledge that He will come to rule and reign on this earth...and soon after my husband's baptism, our patriarch told him he was young enough to witness His return in the flesh. My husband died in 2017, but we had known for decades that it didn't matter which side of the veil we were on at that day...what mattered was our readiness. I've seriously and intensely gathered names and gone to the temple at every opportunity (and encouraged others to bless their own lives by doing the same).

    Excellent presentation! I did this exercise with President Nelson's talks and came out of it thinking "President Nelson is Moses, we are the people of Israel, and the temples are Mt Sinai. We are being invited to sanctify ourselves and meet the Lord on His mount." The urgency is almost palpable. I recently gave a talk in sacrament meeting and felt a little trepidation implying that it's time to become a people that can welcome the Lord at His second coming, but the reality is that it's not my message, it's the Lord's, as we can easily see in the words of His prophet today.

    Excellent video! Would share an experience that occurred just a few years ago, some years before covid. Our Stake conducted an "emergency situation" for one week in which all members were asked to take stock of their provisions and preparations for difficult times. About a month after this "emergency week," I was sitting with the Stake President in our bishop's office waiting for a meeting to begin and I asked him about this week, specifically what the Stake intended to do with the information reported about the preparations of its members. His answer kind of stunned me. He said, "Nothing." By the look on my face, he knew I expected no such answer. I then asked him why and he said the membership has been counseled for decades to get their lives in order and this was a wake-up-call for those members paying attention. It woke me up and I've been working on it ever since. For those who think their preparation has been a waste of time and effort because nothing ever happened during their lifetime, the Lord has ever counseled His saints to be prepared and ready. Whether disaster strikes or does not, has nothing to do with following His counsel.

    I had been reading D&C 109 in the temple but the verse you shared didn’t hit me until you repeated it and after a dream I had.
    “that day when thou shalt unveil the heavens,…That when the trump shall sound for the dead, we shall be caught up in the cloud to meet thee, that we may ever be with the Lord."
    I had a dream a few nights ago that the heavens literally opened and people were being lifted in the sky. It struck me and I woke up with so much peace but now reading scripture that 100% supports what I dreamed I feel even more sure that it wasn’t a random dream. God has been nudging my heart as he has yours for quite some time now. There are no coincidences!

      @@rickhuntling7338 The Bible doesn't describe a lot of things, or it merely hints at certain aspects of doctrinal issues. What was Jesus doing during those 40 days after His resurrection with his disciples. Must have been pretty important for Him to remain so long but there is no definitive record of what He was doing. Why? What about books mentioned in the NT for which there is no source? Must have been important to the gospel writers or else why mention them. The NT mentions Enoch, but very little is known about him or his ministry - why? So, to argue that unless it appears in a compilation of scripture that appeared as the official canon (speaking of the NT) some 3 hundred years after many of the events were recorded is weak at best. The word "telestial" is likely of some ancientry but useful in describing the third degree of glory mentioned in Corinthians 15. As for the "storyteller" comment, just another cheap shot from someone who likely hasn't read a thing written by said storyteller.

    President Nelson did say something very significant in his most recent talk! He has always referred to our days as the 'latter days'. In his talk in 1990 about the correct name of the Church, he specifically states that the latter days are different than the last days. In all of his talks, he has only called our time the 'latter days'. However, in this most recent conference he said, "the temple spiritually empowers you and me to meet the challenges of life in these last days." Chills ran through my body when he said that. He has never used those words before. (When he has used 'last days' in his talks, he has been quoting scripture.) I also think it is very significant that he has the triumphal entry painting right behind his desk (which Elder Gong told us in April 2020 conference is the original). That painting is included in a portrait of him. Every portrait photographer knows it is not good design to put paintings in the backgrounds of portraits. It seems to be a very intentional message for all who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

    At the beginning you talk about President Nelson saying we have an urgent work to do in the latter part of the latter days. In this last conference, he said in his talk that these were the LAST days. This is significant because he differentiated between "latter" and "last" in a talk (1990-A:16, Russell M. Nelson, “Thus Shall My Church Be Called”). He said, "The term latter-day is an expression especially difficult for translators who labor in languages in which there is not a good equivalent term. Some translations may suggest last day... But its last days must be preceded by its latter days! We live in those latter days, and they are really remarkable."
    That was in 1990. In April 2024 conference he said, "Joseph Smith’s dedicatory prayer of the Kirtland Temple is a tutorial about how the temple spiritually empowers you and me to meet the challenges of life in these LAST days." (emphasis mine) This is also the only time I can find in the Scripture Citation Index that he has used that phrase when he wasn't quoting scripture (although, he may have used it in comments or addresses that are not included in the Scripture Citation Index).

Imagine my surprise when I saw a similar painting in our church years later after the missionaries knocked on our door and I joined.
    I can also say that I have listened to Pres Nelson's every single GC talk he's ever given multiple times. I would highly recommend it for anyone who truly wants to know whether he's a prophet called by God.
    It's so interesting, crazy and sad to see who has eyes to see and perhaps heart to feel. So many are still sleeping.
    Restoration, repentance, and becoming a disciple of Christ is a process. Similarly, the second coming is one, too. I definitely want to be wide awake from the very beginning.

    As Russel M Nelson said "But in coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost" it should honestly be enough just to say that if we can't feel the spirit while doing something, then we should unquestionably not be doing it. In the bible when Gods presence departs from Jesus on the cross; Jesus himself is scared and said "Oh God, why hast forsaken me." I think it's clear to see that having the spirit with us in everything we do is an , important thing to have.

    Joseph Smith said that when Jesus said no man knoweth the day or the hour, he meant those of that generation. He reminded us of the scripture that says that jesus won't do anything without telling his apostles first. President Nelson knows at least the year it will happen. I feel its within 5 years.

      After a couple is betrothed, they separate for a year, so the bridegroom can build a house for his bride. The father of the bridegroom is responsible for managing all of the arrangements. No one knows the hour because the father is the one who decides whether the house and son are ready to receive the bride honorably.

I sadly did not know of the condition of this nation until I heard the talk of a DEA agent the other day and my heart broke for her and how much evil has undermined this beautiful country. I actually cried. Be ready as the Prophet warns. We know not the hearts of men, but he foresees and warns. We must be steady and strong and follow the words of the Prophet in all things. My prayers for all to follow and obey.🙏💕

    In the April 2024 General Conference another GA besides President Nelson said something that really struck me, he said: "This is the last dispensation of the fullness of times, the only dispensation that will not end in world apostacy, there may be personal apostacy, but it will end in the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ." Think of that!

    Parker, I didn’t know you were doing videos still, and I am so excited! Your message about president Nelson helped me realize that whether Jesus comes again during our lifetime or not, the importance for all of us to prepare diligently for His coming is the same. Because whether we are alive or dead when He comes again, the consequences for our choices will be the same. “This life is the time for men to prepare to meet God.” It is imperative that we use our time wisely to repent, and make/keep covenants with God as you echoed.
    Thank you for doing the work to study President Nelson’s messages and sharing what you learned. I will do the same.

    @Twotone-ld1fb 3 місяці тому +15

    1. Your first point. When the faithful Nephites were waiting before the lord was born for the promised sign of his coming, they were set to be killed if it didn't happen. And he did reveal it to his servants the prophets, "On this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow come I into the world." Joseph smith when asked if the lord would reveal when he comes despite no one knowing the time or the day said that if that were the case the scriptures would contradict themselves because the lord will do nothing save he reveal it first unto his servants the prophets. However that doesn't say how much warning we will be given. In third Nephi it was the night before that the prophet was told the sign would be fulfilled. Sooooo sure the current prophet may be told when the 2nd coming will take place.... the night before it happens. Tell that time we need to rely on the signs we've been told to watch for. It's only ever been after a trial of faith that we receive blessings.
    2. About your 3rd point the quote that we are blessed with the ability to leave the world behind to assist in the work.
    I'm a rather imaginative person. Grew up loving all things fantasy based and role play based. I took a lot of art classes in school and have a pretty good grasp on how to visualize things. A few months back I started watching a youtube video that popped up in my suggestions about the eclipses and it being a sign. I watched that because ive always been interested in the signs of the second coming.
    After watching it I got to pondering how awesome it would be when the savior comes, and embarrassingly I had a thought about one of the many distractions I have taken part in that was akin to "Well if that happens, guess I wont be able to do that again in the millennium." I was basically putting a distraction and thing of the world before god and his kingdom. But I didn't stop there, my imagination got to thinking about what it would be like to stand before the savior at his second coming, perhaps i was trying to bury the previous thought with a more amazing event. I pictured images in my mind of paintings of the savior coming in glory and even myself standing before him close enough to give him a handshake.
    And I could not look him in the eye.
    It was like a child who knows they have done wrong and they are standing before their parents and will try to look around at anything, the floor, the side, anything, except the eyes of the person in front of them.
    I have since cut out all the distractions I can think of, or you might even think of them as the adversaries deceptions trying to get us to see evil as good. TV, Video games, Books, Radio, Most youtube videos (I still watch educational ones and spiritual ones, like this and conference talks), etc. I'm trying to get back to principles I followed on my mission of avoiding anything that can distract me from the spirit. Perhaps some are better at not being distracted and don't need to go that far, we are counseled to seek after all good things. And there are good things out there. But many of those good things are laced with not so good things. So for now I'm avoiding what distracts me.
    You know how there are many times were you could be having idle thoughts and many times those idle thoughts get filled with some random song you cant get out of your head or maybe a movie you have seen or a TV show that made you laugh? What if your mind more easily was filled with things of god, church hymns and other spiritually uplifting things, conference talks, scripture? I've found since I cut out many of the distractions of the world it has been MUCH easier to avoid sin and temptation and im beginning to see what its like to look with an eye "SINGLE" to the glory of god. Many of the conference talks I've watched say to look with an eye single to the glory of god. How many of us have brushed this or other council off as if we are doing "good enough". How many of us like me will find they won't be able to look to Christ with an eye single to his glory when he comes, because of our own shame?
    I wasn't temple worthy when the above happened, but now I am and I'm now trying to follow the prophets council to attend the temple with all my new found time I have on my hands since im not filling it with frivolous distractions.
    3. Another interesting thing that's happened to me is I'm pretty much working poor when looking at the average persons income and we have been short handed at work. Because of that I have been working overtime because its needed, and despite needing to work overtime it's felt more like a blessing then a thing robbing me of my time. That extra cash flow income I've been putting into emergency preparedness, a strong 72hr - week grab and go kit and food supply and portable water filters.

      Hi - I read your comment and saw that you mentioned eclipses and having an interest in them. I’d like to suggest a book holding much insight into the wonders of the stars and sky. It’s from a Biblical perspective and the insight in it is truly incredible. Everything in creation actually points back to the creator and this book really showcases this specifically amongst the wonders in the sky. It’s called The Witness of the Stars by E.W. Bullinger. I highly recommend the read 😊

      Felt like the first eclipse in 2017 was the beginning of the 7 years of plenty and the last eclipse marked the end of that. In any case, I was under my house fixing something and was scooting by my food storage. Several years ago I felt an urgency to get it all in order and did so. As I scooted by I noted the date I did all that.......2017! I felt blessed to have the sprit guide me to begin preparing right when the 7 years of plenty began. Good feeling to have it all set and ready.

As the world becomes more wicked (as prophesied) the tendency to panic and beat and shout these truths to all who will hear, unfortunately will be received with anger and resentment. President Nelson builds bridges, not animosity. So as I listen to these warnings I realize his counsel to teach and share with peace and to think Celestial is always the best way…. It’s Christ’s way… and we also must continually work out our own salvation through continued sanctification by continually keeping our covenants.

It has probably already been said but because it’s important to people thinking that they are fine for a couple more years: The Salt Lake Temple will be earthquake safe likely within the next couple of months. I have from the man in charge of that part of the project that the final four base isolators, the final major structural portion of making it earthquake-safe, began in April and should be done by “late spring.” So important for our spiritual foundations to be secure NOW! So important to be fully consecrated to the Lord and overcome/forsake this telestial before it falls apart, whenever that might be.

I have witnessed the acceleration that really began in a serious fashion in the 80's...I find great inspiration from the Primary children yo do better and be better.

    When the Kirtland temple came back into the ownership of the church, I had a thought that we should look at the dedicatory prayer to see if it had any particular messages for our day. Section 109 was given to the Prophet Joseph Smith by revelation. It's likely that it was given for that day - but ALSO given for our day (prophesies often have multiple fulfillments). Having the Kirtland temple back would bring it back into focus in the church. So, it was very interesting to me that President Nelson pointed us to that Section and asked us to study it. I don't think it's a coincidence at all that a major portion of it relates to the Second Coming.

  • @FollowHisLight
    @FollowHisLight 3 місяці тому +76

    (Apologies for the somewhat of an essay, I really felt the need to share this after watching your video.)
    It's almost 3 in the morning at time of writing, but watching your video was absolutely worth it.
    I've actually been keeping a digital note for a while now with quotes and different thoughts regarding the nearness of us to the Second Coming, and your video adds a few extra things I'll make note of later.
    I'd also like to add one more source: The first talk from last conference, from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. I remember distinctly the feeling of hearing that talk from last conference for the first time (I've actually read it a number of times now because of how important I feel it is), and I hope I can convey that just a little bit here:
    First, and there's no way to put this simply: Jeffrey R. Holland returned from the "edge of eternity" - which I interpret to mean beyond the grave, or at least the veil - with "an admonition to return to my ministry with more urgency, more consecration, more focus on the Savior, more faith in His word". This is the acting President of the 12 we're talking about here, and he comes back feeling like he needs to be more consecrated, faithful, and urgent with his works? Additionally, he noted that he has tried to "raise an apostolic voice of both warmth and warning" much more since then - the contrast between the two, and yet also the importance of both, should be noted by all of us.
    Finally, remember what he speaks right near the end: That Christ needs to recognize us as faithful members. Again, President Holland refers to it as "an urgent matter", lest we hear "“I never knew you" or "You never knew me".
    We see that the acting president of the 12 here has spoken of both urgency on his part and ours. If he felt the need to become more consecrated, faithful, and urgent with this work - and then tells us our need to be faithful is much the same - I'm not sure how much clearer anyone can make it.
    I'm not sure if the Second Coming will be in 5 or 50 years, but I do know we need to prepare - the time is now, brothers and sisters.

    • @SegoLily
      @SegoLily 3 місяці тому +19

      I love the original wording in what he SAID in conference compared to what is written in the official report. I'm sure they changed it because what he said was a little linguistically awkward. But what he SAID was, "I bear witness of the reality of eternal life and the need for us to be serious in our planning for it. That "serious" needs to exist when Christ comes, because He needs to recognize us. Not as nominal members listed on a faded baptismal record, but as thoroughly committed, faithfully believing, covenant keeping disciples. This is an urgent matter."
      What he said (to my ears) implies that the Savior will return BEFORE most of us reach eternal life. (And, in fact, His return is so near that we need to be urgent in that preparation).
