History of the Church Vol. 6 page 409 Joseph Smith "Come on! ye prosecutors! ye false swearers! All hell, boil over! Ye burning mountains, roll down your lava! for I will come out on top at last. I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet...When they can get rid of me, the devil will also go." (History of the Church, Vol. 6, p. 408, 409)
I haven't seen any trolls and I've been through the entire comment section. Are you talking about people who just happen to have a different opinion than him?
The prophet has literally said “The time is now” and that we are gathering Israel for the Second Coming of our Lord. We are in the LAST days. Come on, guys. Can’t you feel it? It’s so strongly in the air. All kinds of Christians are feeling it. He’s coming and He’s coming VERY soon.
So well done and not an easy task. For many years I believed we were in the 7th seal, however after watching your videos (most several times), reading the scriptures you reference and studying deeply about all of the subjects on my own, I now believe we are indeed in the 6th seal. Like so many others, I think the desire for the Lord to return makes it easy to convince ourselves that we are in the 7th, but to do so would require ignoring SO many scriptural prophecies that you have listed in this presentation. Thanks so much for your hard, prayerfully based work.
The interpretation and placing in order of the many signs and events that are involved in the 2nd coming can be very subjective , and many have their own OPINION . However, when all church information sites state that we are in the seventh seal, you may want to rethink the validity of your opinion .
@@tracephoto1823 I have listened to numerous you tube presentations which go through the 2nd coming timeline as per Daniel 70wks which indicate that the 7 yr time of tribulation is 2020-2027. I saw quotes of leaders/manuals/church documented materials that said outright that we are in the seventh seal. Cannot say which presentation or who said it, but have seen and heard enough evidence to be satisfied with that conclusion. The signs in the heavens and on earth that they note fulfill the prophesies and indicate that we're in the seventh seal. There are too many references to note here but Revelation 7-9 and Daniel, and Mathew 24/25 and D&C 77 should give you a head start. I made pages of notes that outline what to expect... and it will be very soon!!!. If you want a brief indicator ... check out www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1983/10book of revelation Overview. There is also a diagram that interprets the book of revelation called John's vision of the seven seals in the Book of revelation. It is in the gospel library/manual area. There are numerous you tube presentations to follow. Aaron Ellis, Millennial Reign, Ryan Allen, Brent Goddard, Jodi Stoddard , Daniel Wilkinson to name few. If all else fails... read the First Presidency talks from Oct. 2020 General conference. They are telling you that time is running out!!! And telling you to prepare spiritually... and to learn how to receive personal revelation, because times are going to get rough... and soon. We are the people who are to prepare for the second coming. Happy listening and watching... those who watch will not be deceived!!
@@chesterfieldcounty1745 the 7th seal opens in the beginning of the 7th millennium, the year 2000. The silence in heaven is about 20 years, the year 2020 is when things begin to really change. In this video, he misplaces the two prophets. Read revelations chapters 8-11. The 7th seal is open, then the half hour of silence in heaven (20 years) then 7 angels come out and each release a plague, the two prophets are just before the 7th angel, which is just before Christ’s coming, literally just before. During the 7 year tribulation. But at the end of it. I think he mixes up the 7th seal with the 7th angel within that seal.
Whether we are in the 6th or 7th Seal it doesn't matter to me because events will happen when they need to happen. We know that we are in the last, last days so the chances that we will see a lot of these events happen is quite probable. As the past few years have shown us, life can turn on a dime for society and the world as a whole. For all we know, a lot of these crazy events could start happening within the year (I'm certainly not predicting that they will). Watch for the signs and make sure that you are prepared spiritually so that whether you're caught up as a mortal when Christ comes, or you're descending as an angel when Christ comes, you're with Christ when He comes.
I basically agree. I like to hear about the events but I'm not as concerned about when they will happen. I want to recognize them for what they are . . . Important - IMO.
There is a issue with the timeline presented at 17:45. We have to be very careful when interpreting these prophesies because there are some key details that can easily be overlooked. This is an explanation I posted in a different forum, it is long, but I would encourage people to read it.: In the video, there is the claim that Jesus will have 2 appearances before the second coming. He says the seventh seal will be opened during his first appearance after the 2 witnesses are killed and there is a great earthquake. I have never heard this explanation before, and I am not going to directly dispute it, however I see some conflicts with the timeline he has laid out. Rev. 8:1 "When he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." So Rev. 8 starts with the opening of the seventh seal. We also know the events of 8 and 9 happen after the seventh seal is opened as D&C 77 12-13 confirms this. Let's jump to Rev. 8:13 "And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound." Each woe mentioned here is preceded by a trumpet blast as we will see in the coming verses. Revelations 9:1 "And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit" So on the fifth Trumpet blast a fallen angel with a key to the bottomless pit comes to Earth. Rev 9 describes the events of this trumpet blast. Rev 9:12 "One woe is past: and behold, there come two woes more hereafter" Here is the confirmation that each woe represents the events that immediately follow the trumpet blasts. Then there is a description of the events following the 6th trumpet blast, which would be a description of the second woe. However Rev 9 ends without a definitive statement that the second woe has passed. Rev 10 then starts with John going through another sanctification ritual in order to prepare him for additional revelation Rev 11 talks about the two witnesses. They prophesy for 3 1/2 years, are slain, there is much celebration. After 3 days, they are taken into heaven and there is a great earthquake. Then we have Revelations 11:14 Rev 11:14 "The second woe is past; and behold the third woe cometh quickly." The 7th trumpet blast and the third woe is the arrival of Jesus Christ and the destruction of the wicked. In the video the author claims that the slaying of the witnesses comes just before the opening of the seventh seal. However, we know that this happens during the second woe, and the second woe happens after the seventh seal has already been opened. This is why I would not agree with the timeline laid out in the video. I do not wish to make argument over the matter, I just wish to come to a more clear understanding of the events prophesied of in the bible. The more discussion we have about it, the more we'll understand it.
Your breakdown and knowledge of this are spot on. I’ve made a rough timeline as well through my study. You’ve filled in a lot of gaps and everything you’ve said makes sense. Thanks!
APPRECIATE YOUR EXTREME WORK FOR US. ❤️ I immediately comprehended in an instant that the criticism of your works is not by an LDS person. The criticism is against the church itself and you are an easy available target. When people dispute in Gospel Doctrine classes over various subjects where they have not been blessed with Holy Spirit inspiration, my promptings from the Holy Spirit is to not react nor be offended because each individual are on various levels. Their statements do not matter. I've known much persecution. To be in serve of the Lord, persecution is unavoidable. I have to insure my armor on a daily basis. The Lord is with You.
Annual General Conference on April 7, President Nelson said, Do the spiritual work to find out for yourselves, and please do it now. Time is running out,” he said.
Time is running out because the church is using the Gregorian calendar which means we are on the 7th seal according to the church website which opened in the year 2000 and add the half hour silence which is approximately 21 years according to Elder Orson Pratt's commentary in the D&C Institute manual of the church and said the 2nd coming of Christ in glory is the year 2021 which is wrong because he use the Gregorian calendar but the Battle of Armageddon, Desolation and the building of the New Jerusalem in Jackson County, Missouri are in the 6th seal which must be fulfilled. I'm using the Hebrew calendar which is more accurate that we are still on the 6th seal.
@@drseret2462 In Section 20 the Lord said he wanted the Church established on the sixth day of April because it would be “one thousand eight hundred and thirty years since the coming of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the flesh.” 16 In the very next section we are told the Church was set up by Joseph Smith under the guidance of the Holy Ghost and then it says: “Which church was organized and established in the year of your Lord eighteen hundred and thirty, in the fourth month, and on the sixth day of the month which is called April.” 17 So if our calendar is accurate and apparently approved by the Lord, there is no question about the date of the opening of the seventh seal and the half hour of silence in heaven. It will commence in the year 2000 AD .
Here’s a positive comment- I have been listening to your videos now since the pandemic, and they bring me light, hope, understanding, and please don’t stop posting these!!! Thank-you for all your good work!
President Russell M. Nelson called the dedication of the Rome Italy Temple “a hinge point in the history of the Church.” “Things are going to move forward at an accelerated pace,” said President Nelson. “The Church is going to have an unprecedented future, unparalleled. We’re just building up to what’s ahead now.”
I feel like a massive dose of humble pie is going to be healed out upon the world and the church! We are way to proud and frankly soiled brats. I include myself in that statement. So many people are far more concerned about their political opinion over their testimony. Im saddened by how many people are not willing to follow the prophet. Their politics are important to them
I am so very grateful for the information that you put out here, my favorite time during our block is the gospel lessons. I have not gone to church for a lot of years because of my occupation as an over the road truck driver so listening to The lessons that you post has been amazing for me. Once again thank you and please please just continue.
Excellent presentation. There are LDS UA-camrs who advocate that we are not in the 6th seal seem to be unfamiliar with D&C 45, and many other prophecies in the D&C and in the Book of Mormon. They tend to rely on the book of Daniel and other Old Testament prophets, and, of course, President Hinckley's comment on Joel. Your bringing together the several scriptural passages and highlighting key verses is a keeper. Your list of 6th seal events "not yet fulfilled", which came from your analysis of the related scriptural is also an excellent resource. I'm not saying referring to Old Testament prophecies is wrong but they can be confusing without the light of modern-day scriptures. They generally do not clearly refer to our nation and its becoming Zion with the New Jerusalem in the center. The establishment of Zion in the USA will provide protection, security, and peace for good people who will come here from all around the globe, many will not be of our faith. This is definitely a 6th seal event, as are the others you list. Thank you for such a convincing and timely video.
Please don’t stop - your analysis is beautifully clear, uplifting and insightful. I get so excited when I see a new video posted by you! Thank you for your hard work.
I always love your videos. I always walk away with something to think about and sometimes add to my understanding. Always changing and tuning my personal growth of knowledge in the gospel. Your work and is very appreciated.
You are spot on the gospel principles & I have been looking for something like this that actually goes by the scriptures & gospel truths. Thank you! I am learning so much! 🥰
You may be right, and you may be wrong, but I think it’s important to note that nobody really knows because the Scriptures can be interpreted so many different ways and it does no good for us to interpret them without a little shadow of humility and reasonable doubt that we might be wrong in the way we have interpreted them until it is clarified by a prophet of God.
I am going to say that when you present the truth as you have, I feel the spirit. You have a very spiritual way of convey a message that is not only true but that is a great Comfort. God bless you and you have done a great job.
@@maryjr3857 The scriptures does not say that such and such event have to happens before another seal is open. One seal can be open while some event/prophecy from precious seals can still be fulfilled later while the next seal is already opened. That’ what i think!
I believe you. I've been studying the last days for some time and it's included in my patriarchal blessing. Everything in this video is the truth. I testify to the truthfulness of it.
This was a great and concise explanation of where we are in relation to the 6th and 7th Seals. I thought that we were towards the end of the 6th, but with Covid, didn't know if we had transferred into the 7th. You clearly explained why we haven't. I will be using this channel from now on, as well as Book of Mormon Central, to add to my weekly spiritual education and getting these elusive questions answered. Great job!
OK fine you convinced me. I realize now that I was blinded by wishful thinking and deceitful (and probably unintened) words from selfproclaimed scholars... I applaud you for your efforts... you are one of the good ones.
thank you my friend for this video and sorry for others posting negatively. Dont let that stop you. i've listened to several of your videos and you're on point. When you said we're in the 6th seal - I know you're inspired and you are correct. Blessings to you.
Thanks a lot for this revelation. May God almighty bless you. We need to repent from all of our sins. This is not a joke Our Soon coming King is near. Shallow Saints.
I really enjoy your incites. Please do ignore the trolls. Cowards hiding behind anonymity. They seek to shut us up. Let them twist in the wind. Shall we not carry on in so great a cause? You are fighting the good fight. May heaven bless you.
We are told to prepare, and our prophet says stay on the convent path. Thank you so much for helping us know and realize preparing is always a good thing.
Fantastic presentation. I had started to bite on the 7th seal stuff, but between this presentation and the LDS II Archives channel I have been persuaded by the scriptures and the series of events leading up to the opening of the 7th seal.
Great video, as always! I so appreciate your point of views. President Nelson has said in almost every talk since 2018 that we are "preparing the world for the second coming" President Eyering in April 2021 in a talk given to the sisters said (paraphrasing) women, you, your daughters and your daughters daughters will play a vital role in raising a generation that is prepared and ready to welcome the lord at his second coming. That to me puts a bit of a time frame on things.
Dear Brother, first I cannot express my gratitude, for what you have done for all of us, I have learned more from you than so many over the years, your way of teaching and your dissecting is amazing, you are a gift to me, and an answer to prayers and confusion and worry and fear, I pray the good Lord will bless you with anything and everything you need, so you will never leave us!!!! Thank you from the bottom of the bottom of the bottom of my heart! I love you!
Thank you for the work you do, I really love it. Your comment on the early morning resurrection stirred me. My understanding is that the early morning resurrection happens in phases, the second coming will only finalise it rather than begin it. Many Saints have woke up from past dispensations on both Hemispheres & the Church has in those periods has been tenderly rebuked when it failed to record that particular matter.
Great presentation but I’ll stick to what Joseph Smith said in D&C 77. Each seal is a mark of a thousand years. The seventh seal began pretty much right after the turn of the century. Also Joseph explained that there will be many fulfillments of prophecy in the seventh seal but before Jesus returns. I suspect that pretty close to exactly 2000 years after his resurrection will mark the beginning of the millennium. 2033? Also not every prophecy is as literal as we might expect it to be.
Yes we are in the 7th seal. What i understood 6th had been opened. Butterflies in my stomach. Fellow Christians❤❤ . We need to comprehend God's wisdom in the next events in history and world 🌍🙏🙏
It is true that knowing the Truth strengthens one's resolve to live righteously. It is also true that those who entertain falsehoods not only find their resolve weakening, but they soon begin to think that what they once believed to be evil, they now believe to be good. I have seen this happen to multiple people in the last several years. It is frightening to see how their minds become so corrupted; they will say the most outrageous things, to the point where it is baffling to try to imagine how anyone could possibly believe such things. Satan's power to deceive is real, and it is growing.
Just a note about a temple in Zion. The Kansas City temple is a short 13 mile drive from the visitor center at Independence, MO. Calling that temple the "Independence, Missouri temple" would have caused quite a stir, but I bet we'd be safe in considering that temple the first of many to be built in Zion...
Previously, I had no idea Independence was so close to KC. Then I good a Church History Tour. That got my attention when I heard about a temple being build in KC.
I just found your channel and I like it a lot. Thank you for sharing with us we need channels like this. I am going to dive into your other videos these are so cool. Thank you bro
President Gordon B. Hinkley, Apr 2,2000 conf, To All the World in Testimony: ...Now in this historic season, when we mark the birth of a new century and the beginning of a new millennium, we have built this new and wonderful Conference Center...
I agree on your study and interpretation of scripture and prophecy. This is what I have always believed on my life and I do know that many other people also believe in the series of events. Thank you for outlining them so intelligently and simply!
You posted this 2 years ago and you are right. We can say we are in the 7th seal and Jesus the lamb is worthy to judge. I am reading the comments and it is happening now
I have listened to a few videos and have trusted non of them however I feel totally different when I listen to you. Thank you for your non alarmist approach and for staying on target.
Extrodinary insight once again! We eagerly await each video and your insight and scriptural insight. We have been prompted to seek, ponder and pray. Thank you. Please don’t stop sharing. Thank you.
Thank you for helping discern between Christ’s other appearances and His ultimate second coming. Your timeline is useful in understanding scattered scripture verses and how the second coming will play out. No matter the timing of it all, and whether it happens in our lifetime or not, the righteous will be saved. Keep it up!
I feel like your videos are a literal fulfillment of this promise in this scripture: 3 Nephi 28:33 And if ye had all the scriptures which give an account of all the marvelous works of Christ, ye would, according to the words of Christ, know that these things must surely come.
Thank you for your time and effort in producing these videos. I really appreciate seeing your process, and I know how long it takes to put something like this together. Your positions are so well supported by scripture and prophecy - both past and present. I think we all want the second coming to happen as quickly as possible, so it's easy to get caught up in speculation that supports that want. I'm glad to hear your more temperate analyses. I love seeing your continuing perspective!
I want to start off by saying that I appreciate your videos a LOT🙏🏼👍🏻 I do believe that Christ said he'd hasten time in the end for the sake of His saints ⏳ Not to mention that Pres. Nelson said that "Time is running out." I know we're told that our modern day prophets are given revelation for OUR day.. AND that those of us who are grounded in the gospel of Jesus Christ NEED NOT FEAR. So the world's burden may not be felt by some as badly as it really is... Just my thoughts... Peace and friendship brother🙏🏼💞
You can and should pray about what a prophet says, or any other church leader no matter your denomination. 2 Corinthians 13:1. I appreciate very much the amount of study and thought and prayer went into this topic. As you said, I hope that we will take this and continue our own studies on this topic to come to a greater understanding.
I was in full agreement right up until almost the end when you grouped the return of the ten tribes under the seventh seal. In D&C 77:10 we're told that events in Rev 7 are to occur in the sixth seal. In order call out 12,000 from each tribe, it only makes sense that all of the tribes are gathered in before that happens. Additionally, we're taught the land of America needs to be cleansed to make way for the return of the lost tribes. At least, that how the scriptures appear to order things. Other than that, well done!
“We should note that we do not know if John saw certain of the events in the exact order in which they will occur, or if some events will overlap or occur simultaneously.” This is from an overview of the book of Revelation on the Church’s website. Personally, I feel that we are currently in the seventh seal already, and the “silence in heaven” will end within the next few years. I agree that everyone should follow the Spirit in doing their own research.
Also, D&C 77:7 Q. What are we to understand by the seven seals with which it was sealed? A. We are to understand that the first seal contains the things of the first thousand years, and the second also of the second thousand years, and so on until the seventh.
Nice commentary. The Book of Revelation, from the opening of the seals onward, appears to be structured more or less chronologically, with interludes of doctrine taught symbolically (like the two beasts). This is why, especially subsequent to the opening of the seventh seal, we have signposts (like references to the first woe, second woe, etc.) that serve to remind that we are being shown a sequence of events leading up to the Second Coming. By this reckoning, it appears to me that the so-called "day of wrath" in the sixth seal (earthquake, earth reels to and fro, sun darkened, etc., as well as people hiding in caves) is a separate event that will be interpreted by many as the end of the world, but in fact will only be the beginning of woes precedent to the Second Coming. The temporal situation of this event with regard to other events in the 6th seal (like the sealing of the 144,000) is not entirely clear. But either way, the Book of Revelation then goes on to describe additional great earthquakes that will occur in the seventh seal, the last of which, coupled with a great hailstorm (shower of bolides?), will be the final destructive event before the Second Coming. So loosely speaking, there are a number of things yet to occur in the sixth seal, including the "day of wrath." Once they happen, there will be the "half hour of silence" at the beginning of the seventh seal, and then a series of cycles of catastrophe ("woes"), which may last longer and be of greater intensity than many of us realize. The scriptures do not bear out the notion that all of this will transpire over the course of a few months or years; rather, the transformation from fallen, telestial earth to transfigured, millenial earth may be the work of several generations.
Thank you so much that was really awesome! I appreciate all the scripture references you gave to support your position. Since I have just discovered you recently I’m glad that you did not quit sometime ago. Don’t take to heart naysayers, you’ve done the work.
I recently discovered your channel and I'm enjoying it, but I must weigh in on this subject. To me, it seems that the doctrine and covenants is clearly stating that each seal is a 1000 year period. In that case, the 7th seal was opened in the year 2000. It was marked by the dedication of the Palmyra temple and a church-wide the hosanna shout on April 6. If the silence in heaven is calculated for God's time, it ended in the year 2020. I do not believe that is supposed to be when Christ comes, I believe that is supposed to be when the tribulations start. 2020 was obviously a difficult year with many woes beyond just Covid. The next church-wide hosanna shout occured April 5, Palm Sunday, 2020. (Notice the Palm correlation in both) The first half or the tribulations is supposed to be unpleasant but relatively mild. The second half is the abomination of desolation. It is during this period of time that the three witnesses will preach and be killed and rise again. There is plenty of time between now and this event for wars, rumors of wars, Zion to be built, the meeting in Adam ondi ahman, a new temple to be built in Jerusalem (which is already being built off-site, by the way) famine, pestilence, plagues, missionaries being called home (for good), mark of the beast (which I believe is very much in the works with China's social credit system- intended to be rolled out everywhere- and people already getting microchipped) and Armageddon. As far as the sun being darkened and the moon turning to blood and the big global earthquake and the Earth wobbling like a drunkard ( which would make the heavens appear to shake), it is my understanding that this is one event that comes in direct coincidence with Christ's return. If you go to the channel Suspicious Observers, you will learn of Ben Davidson's very scientific and very data driven hypothesis of solar micro novas. It is backed by years of intense research and an ever-growing body of scientific evidence, even though the theory is still not main stream. The theory is this: our sun micro novas every 12,000 years. The last micro nova was 12,000 years ago. When it novas, the following things happen: the entire corona is sneezed off. The sun goes dark for a few days while the Corona regenerates. The high pressure of electrical activity pushes the Earth's magnetic field and we have a magnetic pole reversal. This change causes the earth to tilt, global earthquake, seas leaving their bounds. The electrical energy from the nova can accumulate in the Earth's magnetic field lines and then shoot down to Earth as giant lighting or pillars of fire. As the moon has no protective magnetosphere, it will take a direct hit, which will cause its regolith to be melted (I imagine melted regolith glows red like lava, or blood) there is evidence of this event 12,000 years ago as the moon is covered with bits of glass. The astronauts where tasked with collecting samples of this glass is later moon landings. There are some who believe that the energy from this event that the Earth will be hit with will cause the energetic change from telestial to terrestrial. Will this also be the cleansing by burning? Probably. Now, whether my timeline is right, or yours is, or someone else's is, I don't think it matters. If someone leaves the church cause some guy on UA-cam got the timeline wrong, they have bigger spiritual problems. I think what's more important is that our lamps are always trimmed and our oil full so that when the bridegroom does come we will be prepared. I think it's also very important not to get deceived by the lies of Babylon and get caught up in her agendas. There are many who are leaving the church because they choose the lies of Babylon. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work.
I was reading through your comment totally calmly and when I got to the part where you wrote the important part is trimming our lamp I got hit with the Spirit like BOOM with everything electrified and tears streaming out of my eyes. It was so weird and surprising I had to mention it. Thanks for your comment ❤
All we have to do is look to the endowment ceremony, the Aaronic priesthood part has been removed. The seal has been broken, we are in the time of Melchizedek. The seal is broken, we are living in the millennium.
As far as I can find in my own studies, there isn't evidence of it. The church website says the 7th seal opens around the year 2000 (around, so by that logic we could still be in the 6th seal, though I think otherwise.) I feel that I can understand where the idea comes from, but people pick and choose the things they want to see literally vs metaphorically and we don't get to make those decisions.
@@NsTheName it is very confusing when Joseph Smith said that the Book of Revelation is the largest book ever written sometimes. I think he was misquoted or trolling us. I think in the end all this will be similar to the writers of the Gospels who comment on how at the time they didn't understand what Jesus was talking about.
@@bigusdicus73 Certainly! I think once all comes to pass and we look in retrospect we'll all say, "Oooh, that's what you meant!" For now, we just don't know. We read the scriptures and let the Holy Ghost guide.

I have to say this is a very professional presentation. Excellent work. You are so comfortable with your assumptions that they flow like honey--however, as you point out, many of the details surrounding these scriptures are complicated. I believe it does everyone a disservice to try and simplify the scriptures about the last days to the point of a formula. The fact of the matter is that we are living in a time that has been foretold by scriptures and we have been reading these verses with the opinions of others ringing in our ears for so long, we don't know what we think. I appreciate you encouraging people to do their own research, but the fact of the matter is that most do not. Most study presentations such as yours and then count that as their study, since you quote scriptures and prophetic statements. This is not meant to be a criticism, but instead an observation that I have seen in my own family members. I echo your message that you say multiple times, that we must be willing to do our own study and reach independent conclusions and then pray to be led along, rather than just echo what people on UA-cam say about certain topics. I love the point that you make at the end of your presentation that if we expect things to occur in a certain way, and then if they don't, we might think none of it is true. I so agree. This is the danger of saying the events of the last days will happen in a certain order, according to a certain timetable, because inevitably, God will miss the memo and allow it to roll out naturally, so naturally that we all miss it, because we're expecting something else. This was the folly of the Jews when Christ came the first time. They had the scriptures, they thought they knew what they meant, they created a narrative in their head and totally missed Christ when he came to his own people, fulfilling all the scriptures so naturally, that they missed every one and then rejected him so strongly that they killed him. How tragic. I appreciated that you presented your idea of the sequence of events outlined in the scripture and then briefly reviewed what others "thought", or theorized about the same topic and the differences, however, other than President Hinkley's talk, you glossed over why others believed as they did, as if there was no merit in other people's prayerful efforts. I appreciate that you gave your "assurance" that you were correct, but I believe that's the Spirit's job. Our job is to search, ponder, pray and ask, here a little, there a little, learning line upon line, watching for the signs of Christ's coming even if it doesn't agree with someone else's opinion. For example, who is to say that the strange, but miraculous and terrible and continuous large gathering at our south border that includes people from all over the world, Russia, Haiti, South America, China, etc. at a time that ice is flowing down and the desert is blossoming as a rose, crossing over a land bridge at the isthmus of Panama, isn't the return of the lost tribes? I'm not saying it is, I'm just saying, have you ever seen so many people from so many backgrounds feel so compelled to gather to the promised land? Have you seen so many people say that God has told them to come and be willing to sell everything they have to WALK as the children of Israel walked--to the promised land??? What treasures are they bringing? Do we have any idea? No, we're not even watching. What about the strange storm just 2 weeks ago when the Nile flooded, causing waters to heave beyond their bounds, the sky to shake with thunder, hail to fall, and a plague of 500 stings of scorpions as they sought refuge in the homes? This happened the same week we had the longest blood moon in over 500 years. What about that strange storm? Are these signs of the times announcing the closeness of Christ's coming? Sounds very plague"y" to me. Are we to look at these events and see that things are changing politically to match Revelation and changing in the earth as she rejects the evil that's on this earth? How about the looting that is beginning to take hold of our nation as mobs loot and riot? Who are apart of these mobs? Do we know? Could this be the beginning of the remnant of Jacob that shall be among the Gentiles and tread down then tear in pieces because America will not repent? Will it continue until storefronts cannot afford to be open? I'm not saying any of these things are fulfilling prophesy, but I am saying we are seeing strange things happening in the Promised Land that match scripture that can be fulfilled repeatedly and often, as the time of Christ nears. (People's nature is one that needs many warnings and signs to wake up) So are we watching? Or are we dismissing all of these things because they don't perfectly fit in any presenter's scenario. Are we prepared for the economic crash that is upon us, or are we saying that because we are not in the 7th seal, we don't have anything to worry about--Christ's coming is a long way off? And who is to say that we'll even know when the two witnesses will be in Israel? Who says they aren't there right now and that storm that affected Egypt wasn't apart of their work? Again, I'm not saying it was, but how will we know? Will they be on the news? Do you think the legacy media will report of things that go on in Israel, or the Middle East if it doesn't suit their purposes? Do you think the anti-christ organization that will rule their world full of images of the beast will allow such information not to be censored? Do you think that the masses being controlled by sorcery "pharmacy" will even notice? I'm just asking the questions. It's up to us to decide if we want to know the answers. Thank you for your excellent work but leave it open ended--we must discover what it means to live through these last days. What an adventure it can be if we notice what is happening around us! What stories we'll tell in the millennium if we pay attention! Ted Edwards' wife :)
I absolutely LOVE this reply and wholeheartedly agree. When we preach as though we know for certain, we're on shaky ground. I have thus far not found anyone that can truly convince me we're in the 6th seal. That doesn't mean we aren't and I'm open to it because there's so much I don't understand, but from my own research of the scriptures (which is ongoing) I still believe we're in the 7th seal. At the end of the day, all I want is the Savior to return so I don't much care about being right or wrong. The only sting of being wrong is that the Lord would be further away and I think that to look at the current worlds affairs and say we're still afar off is dishonest.
All is well in zion. I am shocked how many say that things aren't bad so the end can't be near. The world is bigger than your backyard. Thanks for your comment, I completely agree with you.
Thank you for so much research and work. I esp liked the drawing of the 7 scrolls, each inside the next. I couldn't picture how that might work before.
That's super crazy I believe this all the way you are truly sharp dude Mr dude rumors and rumors of War not to worry I agree with all of that 100%. I think we're in that time Yahoo
I appreciate your efforts to help everyone understand these important scriptural events. While it is good to improve our knowledge about the scriptures, I dont feel the pressing need to understand everything about the coming events. What is more important and what we all are dealing with everyday is to strengthen our testimony of God the Father and Christ. Making efforts to Come Unto Christ by living a Christ like life is the only thing that matters. These other events will simply take care of themselves. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and testimony with everyone.
I agree about not wanting to read negative comments I think your best course of action would be hand it over to a trusted loved one family member or friend and tell them to go ahead and delete all the negative comments before you read them. You got to protect yourself
Thank you for your knowledge and insight. Your work is valuable. Trolls: I’ve seen negative comments on a baby being saved. It’s ridiculous. The work you do is great. You put everything together and then tell us to do our research. Great advice! Your research really helps. May the Lord bless you for it!❤️
My honest opinion is that we could be in the 5th seal as well to honest No One really knows for sure which seal we are really in! I was worried at first but when my daughter asked me what was wrong and what was I thinking about I told her life itself. Then she look at me and said you don’t need to have fear or worries God said that all of these things will come to past .Then she said God will protect his children from all hurt harm and danger😊 you don’t have to be afraid or to worry! I believe in what she told me I guess she sees me as one of Gods angles ! This truly touched my heart and my soul. I know within my heart my family and I are safe !
Really loved this breakdown! After all of the deep dive videos you’ve done on this topic it really clicked for me. I always appreciate your videos, they’ve helped me a lot in my return to the LDS faith (:
Let me back up here a little, and just say that my wife and I really enjoy your videos. As far as religious channels, you are 1 of 2 channels that I actually really like. Don't want to come off as a negative nancy or anything, lol. I really do appreciate them very much!
6th seal or 7th? Can't say for sure. What we do know with certainty is that we are in the last dispensation and that our inspired prophet has told us to prepare spiritually and temporally for what's ahead (fasten your seatbelt and let God prevail). We can get a pretty good timeline of things to come by studying the Book of Mormon and making note of the pride cycle that keeps repeating. How many years passed from the time they live in righteousness to when they completely turned their hearts away from gospel truth. I think we are pretty far into the current pride cycle. Thanks for your research and thoughts on the topic.
You shouldn't be studying a book that was written by man and not by God, like the Bible. The 6th seal is for certain. But you wouldn't know that with the book of Mormon. I used to go to the Mormon church and I left because of all the false teachings, specially how they celebrate Pagan holidays in the church and the false teachings of the two Angel's that brought the book of Mormon which is not even in scripture. No one should be studying anything outside of what God left us. The Holy Bible.
@@JuanDiaz-jo1rw Interesting Juan. I would caution you about telling God can or cannot do. That is called blasphemy. Read carefully John 10:16 and understand that Christ himself was aware of the people who had already left Jerusalem centuries before his birth. He told his disciples that he would gather in these Book of Mormon people just as he has gathered in those in Jerusalem. A very simple but logical explanation for how the Book of Mormon came about.
Thanks so much for making these! Very interesting and well done. So much good information you’ve gathered, all your videos are fun and interesting to watch/listen to!
I have no worries, no anxieties nor fear of what is to come. My God gives me all the comfort and peace that I need to have.
History of the Church Vol. 6 page 409 Joseph Smith
"Come on! ye prosecutors! ye false swearers! All hell, boil over! Ye burning mountains, roll down your lava! for I will come out on top at last. I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet...When they can get rid of me, the devil will also go." (History of the Church, Vol. 6, p. 408, 409)
Don’t let the trolls get you down! In my opinion, if sharing the Gospel helps just one person, it is all worth it.
I haven't seen any trolls and I've been through the entire comment section. Are you talking about people who just happen to have a different opinion than him?

Exactly. We should live each day with faith, repentance, and charity. ♡
The prophet has literally said “The time is now” and that we are gathering Israel for the Second Coming of our Lord. We are in the LAST days. Come on, guys. Can’t you feel it? It’s so strongly in the air. All kinds of Christians are feeling it. He’s coming and He’s coming VERY soon.
Agreed!!! Even non believers know something is up. Also I have noticed many people are suddenly turning to God and Jesus
So well done and not an easy task. For many years I believed we were in the 7th seal, however after watching your videos (most several times), reading the scriptures you reference and studying deeply about all of the subjects on my own, I now believe we are indeed in the 6th seal. Like so many others, I think the desire for the Lord to return makes it easy to convince ourselves that we are in the 7th, but to do so would require ignoring SO many scriptural prophecies that you have listed in this presentation. Thanks so much for your hard, prayerfully based work.
The interpretation and placing in order of the many signs and events that are involved in the 2nd coming can be very subjective , and many have their own OPINION . However, when all church information sites state that we are in the seventh seal, you may want to rethink the validity of your opinion .
@@lorraineheggie4416 reference and link please?
@@tracephoto1823 I have listened to numerous you tube presentations which go through the 2nd coming timeline as per Daniel 70wks which indicate that the 7 yr time of tribulation is 2020-2027. I saw quotes of leaders/manuals/church documented materials that said outright that we are in the seventh seal. Cannot say which presentation or who said it, but have seen and heard enough evidence to be satisfied with that conclusion. The signs in the heavens and on earth that they note fulfill the prophesies and indicate that we're in the seventh seal. There are too many references to note here but Revelation 7-9 and Daniel, and Mathew 24/25 and D&C 77 should give you a head start. I made pages of notes that outline what to expect... and it will be very soon!!!. If you want a brief indicator ... check out www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1983/10book of revelation Overview. There is also a diagram that interprets the book of revelation called John's vision of the seven seals in the Book of revelation. It is in the gospel library/manual area. There are numerous you tube presentations to follow. Aaron Ellis, Millennial Reign, Ryan Allen, Brent Goddard, Jodi Stoddard , Daniel Wilkinson to name few. If all else fails... read the First Presidency talks from Oct. 2020 General conference. They are telling you that time is running out!!! And telling you to prepare spiritually... and to learn how to receive personal revelation, because times are going to get rough... and soon. We are the people who are to prepare for the second coming. Happy listening and watching... those who watch will not be deceived!!
@@lorraineheggie4416 we are still in the sixth seal,
@@chesterfieldcounty1745 the 7th seal opens in the beginning of the 7th millennium, the year 2000. The silence in heaven is about 20 years, the year 2020 is when things begin to really change.
In this video, he misplaces the two prophets. Read revelations chapters 8-11. The 7th seal is open, then the half hour of silence in heaven (20 years) then 7 angels come out and each release a plague, the two prophets are just before the 7th angel, which is just before Christ’s coming, literally just before. During the 7 year tribulation. But at the end of it.
I think he mixes up the 7th seal with the 7th angel within that seal.
Whether we are in the 6th or 7th Seal it doesn't matter to me because events will happen when they need to happen. We know that we are in the last, last days so the chances that we will see a lot of these events happen is quite probable. As the past few years have shown us, life can turn on a dime for society and the world as a whole. For all we know, a lot of these crazy events could start happening within the year (I'm certainly not predicting that they will). Watch for the signs and make sure that you are prepared spiritually so that whether you're caught up as a mortal when Christ comes, or you're descending as an angel when Christ comes, you're with Christ when He comes.
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you Yama
I basically agree. I like to hear about the events but I'm not as concerned about when they will happen. I want to recognize them for what they are . . . Important - IMO.
We are not in the first one yet .
There is a issue with the timeline presented at 17:45. We have to be very careful when interpreting these prophesies because there are some key details that can easily be overlooked. This is an explanation I posted in a different forum, it is long, but I would encourage people to read it.:
In the video, there is the claim that Jesus will have 2 appearances before the second coming. He says the seventh seal will be opened during his first appearance after the 2 witnesses are killed and there is a great earthquake. I have never heard this explanation before, and I am not going to directly dispute it, however I see some conflicts with the timeline he has laid out.
Rev. 8:1 "When he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour."
So Rev. 8 starts with the opening of the seventh seal. We also know the events of 8 and 9 happen after the seventh seal is opened as D&C 77 12-13 confirms this.
Let's jump to Rev. 8:13 "And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound."
Each woe mentioned here is preceded by a trumpet blast as we will see in the coming verses.
Revelations 9:1 "And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit"
So on the fifth Trumpet blast a fallen angel with a key to the bottomless pit comes to Earth. Rev 9 describes the events of this trumpet blast.
Rev 9:12 "One woe is past: and behold, there come two woes more hereafter"
Here is the confirmation that each woe represents the events that immediately follow the trumpet blasts.
Then there is a description of the events following the 6th trumpet blast, which would be a description of the second woe. However Rev 9 ends without a definitive statement that the second woe has passed.
Rev 10 then starts with John going through another sanctification ritual in order to prepare him for additional revelation
Rev 11 talks about the two witnesses. They prophesy for 3 1/2 years, are slain, there is much celebration. After 3 days, they are taken into heaven and there is a great earthquake. Then we have Revelations 11:14
Rev 11:14 "The second woe is past; and behold the third woe cometh quickly."
The 7th trumpet blast and the third woe is the arrival of Jesus Christ and the destruction of the wicked.
In the video the author claims that the slaying of the witnesses comes just before the opening of the seventh seal. However, we know that this happens during the second woe, and the second woe happens after the seventh seal has already been opened.
This is why I would not agree with the timeline laid out in the video. I do not wish to make argument over the matter, I just wish to come to a more clear understanding of the events prophesied of in the bible. The more discussion we have about it, the more we'll understand it.
Agree
I agree
I absolutely love how you help make important gospel subjects easier to understand. I appreciate the work that you are doing! Thank you!
Oh my that is the same for me
Your breakdown and knowledge of this are spot on. I’ve made a rough timeline as well through my study. You’ve filled in a lot of gaps and everything you’ve said makes sense. Thanks!
APPRECIATE YOUR EXTREME WORK FOR US.
❤️
I immediately comprehended in an instant that the criticism of your works is not by an LDS person. The criticism is against the church itself and you are an easy available target.
When people dispute in Gospel Doctrine classes over various subjects where they have not been blessed with Holy Spirit inspiration, my promptings from the Holy Spirit is to not react nor be offended because each individual are on various levels. Their statements do not matter. I've known much persecution. To be in serve of the Lord, persecution is unavoidable. I have to insure my armor on a daily basis. The Lord is with You.
Annual General Conference on April 7, President Nelson said, Do the spiritual work to find out for yourselves, and please do it now. Time is running out,” he said.
Time is running out because the church is using the Gregorian calendar which means we are on the 7th seal according to the church website which opened in the year 2000 and add the half hour silence which is approximately 21 years according to Elder Orson Pratt's commentary in the D&C Institute manual of the church and said the 2nd coming of Christ in glory is the year 2021 which is wrong because he use the Gregorian calendar but the Battle of Armageddon, Desolation and the building of the New Jerusalem in Jackson County, Missouri are in the 6th seal which must be fulfilled. I'm using the Hebrew calendar which is more accurate that we are still on the 6th seal.
@@drseret2462 In Section 20 the Lord said he wanted the Church established on the sixth day of April because it would be “one thousand eight hundred and thirty years since the coming of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the flesh.” 16
In the very next section we are told the Church was set up by Joseph Smith under the guidance of the Holy Ghost and then it says:
“Which church was organized and established in the year of your Lord eighteen hundred and thirty, in the fourth month, and on the sixth day of the month which is called April.” 17
So if our calendar is accurate and apparently approved by the Lord, there is no question about the date of the opening of the seventh seal and the half hour of silence in heaven. It will commence in the year 2000 AD .
I love these measured, well thought out, inspired messages! This is one of my favorite channels! Thank you so much for all you do!
Here’s a positive comment- I have been listening to your videos now since the pandemic, and they bring me light, hope, understanding, and please don’t stop posting these!!! Thank-you for all your good work!
President Russell M. Nelson called the dedication of the Rome Italy Temple “a hinge point in the history of the Church.”
“Things are going to move forward at an accelerated pace,” said President Nelson. “The Church is going to have an unprecedented future, unparalleled. We’re just building up to what’s ahead now.”
Man, he got THAT right, didn't he? Who would have guessed that the USA would have descended into such lawlessness and chaos so quickly?
Please never stop your gospel lessons! I’ve never understood the gospel so well!! ❤❤❤
I feel like a massive dose of humble pie is going to be healed out upon the world and the church! We are way to proud and frankly soiled brats. I include myself in that statement. So many people are far more concerned about their political opinion over their testimony. Im saddened by how many people are not willing to follow the prophet. Their politics are important to them
I am so very grateful for the information that you put out here, my favorite time during our block is the gospel lessons. I have not gone to church for a lot of years because of my occupation as an over the road truck driver so listening to The lessons that you post has been amazing for me. Once again thank you and please please just continue.
Please don’t stop making videos I appreciate your detailed, pragmatic approach and look forward to your new videos
You are such a blessing to all of us! Thanks for taking the time to talk about the gospel.
Excellent presentation. There are LDS UA-camrs who advocate that we are not in the 6th seal seem to be unfamiliar with D&C 45, and many other prophecies in the D&C and in the Book of Mormon. They tend to rely on the book of Daniel and other Old Testament prophets, and, of course, President Hinckley's comment on Joel. Your bringing together the several scriptural passages and highlighting key verses is a keeper. Your list of 6th seal events "not yet fulfilled", which came from your analysis of the related scriptural is also an excellent resource. I'm not saying referring to Old Testament prophecies is wrong but they can be confusing without the light of modern-day scriptures. They generally do not clearly refer to our nation and its becoming Zion with the New Jerusalem in the center. The establishment of Zion in the USA will provide protection, security, and peace for good people who will come here from all around the globe, many will not be of our faith. This is definitely a 6th seal event, as are the others you list. Thank you for such a convincing and timely video.
These videos really take some talent to do! You really have a gift.
I love them!
Thanks for putting them together!
Please don’t stop - your analysis is beautifully clear, uplifting and insightful. I get so excited when I see a new video posted by you! Thank you for your hard work.
I always love your videos. I always walk away with something to think about and sometimes add to my understanding. Always changing and tuning my personal growth of knowledge in the gospel. Your work and is very appreciated.
You are spot on the gospel principles & I have been looking for something like this that actually goes by the scriptures & gospel truths. Thank you! I am learning so much! 🥰
You may be right, and you may be wrong, but I think it’s important to note that nobody really knows because the Scriptures can be interpreted so many different ways and it does no good for us to interpret them without a little shadow of humility and reasonable doubt that we might be wrong in the way we have interpreted them until it is clarified by a prophet of God.
Absolutely!
Yep!
So why hasn't the prophet clarified it yet?
@@Apbt-rv7zw Because there is no need to yet.
@@Apbt-rv7zw We're meant to Hear Him. Perhaps that is why. Perhaps it's not the prophets place to tell us. Perhaps we are required to ask the Lord.
I am going to say that when you present the truth as you have, I feel the spirit. You have a very spiritual way of convey a message that is not only true but that is a great Comfort. God bless you and you have done a great job.
I recently heard an explantation that rang true. It was that we're in both the 6th and 7th seal, they overlap.
I was taught that 20 years ago at byu in my religion class.
@@maryjr3857 The scriptures does not say that such and such event have to happens before another seal is open. One seal can be open while some event/prophecy from precious seals can still be fulfilled later while the next seal is already opened. That’ what i think!
I believe you. I've been studying the last days for some time and it's included in my patriarchal blessing. Everything in this video is the truth. I testify to the truthfulness of it.
This was a great and concise explanation of where we are in relation to the 6th and 7th Seals. I thought that we were towards the end of the 6th, but with Covid, didn't know if we had transferred into the 7th. You clearly explained why we haven't. I will be using this channel from now on, as well as Book of Mormon Central, to add to my weekly spiritual education and getting these elusive questions answered. Great job!
Oh we are definitely here. And it came fast. How blessed I feel to be one of the last to witness
OK fine you convinced me. I realize now that I was blinded by wishful thinking and deceitful (and probably unintened) words from selfproclaimed scholars... I applaud you for your efforts... you are one of the good ones.
thank you my friend for this video and sorry for others posting negatively. Dont let that stop you. i've listened to several of your videos and you're on point. When you said we're in the 6th seal - I know you're inspired and you are correct. Blessings to you.
Thanks a lot for this revelation. May God almighty bless you. We need to repent from all of our sins. This is not a joke Our Soon coming King is near. Shallow Saints.
I really enjoy your incites. Please do ignore the trolls. Cowards hiding behind anonymity. They seek to shut us up. Let them twist in the wind. Shall we not carry on in so great a cause? You are fighting the good fight. May heaven bless you.
if this guy was my seminary teacher i can guarantee i wouldn’t even think about touching my phone
I’m so grateful for your videos. I can understand what I hear and love the way you explain it. Thank you!
We are told to prepare, and our prophet says stay on the convent path.
Thank you so much for helping us know and realize preparing is always a good thing.
Fantastic presentation. I had started to bite on the 7th seal stuff, but between this presentation and the LDS II Archives channel I have been persuaded by the scriptures and the series of events leading up to the opening of the 7th seal.
Thank you. I appreciate the gathering of script. I had a great interest in this as well as the 3 woes. This is clear.
Great video, as always! I so appreciate your point of views. President Nelson has said in almost every talk since 2018 that we are "preparing the world for the second coming" President Eyering in April 2021 in a talk given to the sisters said (paraphrasing) women, you, your daughters and your daughters daughters will play a vital role in raising a generation that is prepared and ready to welcome the lord at his second coming. That to me puts a bit of a time frame on things.
Nice job Kevin!
Dear Brother, first I cannot express my gratitude, for what you have done for all of us, I have learned more from you than so many over the years, your way of teaching and your dissecting is amazing, you are a gift to me, and an answer to prayers and confusion and worry and fear, I pray the good Lord will bless you with anything and everything you need, so you will never leave us!!!! Thank you from the bottom of the bottom of the bottom of my heart! I love you!
Thank you for the work you do, I really love it. Your comment on the early morning resurrection stirred me. My understanding is that the early morning resurrection happens in phases, the second coming will only finalise it rather than begin it. Many Saints have woke up from past dispensations on both Hemispheres & the Church has in those periods has been tenderly rebuked when it failed to record that particular matter.
Great presentation but I’ll stick to what Joseph Smith said in D&C 77. Each seal is a mark of a thousand years. The seventh seal began pretty much right after the turn of the century. Also Joseph explained that there will be many fulfillments of prophecy in the seventh seal but before Jesus returns. I suspect that pretty close to exactly 2000 years after his resurrection will mark the beginning of the millennium. 2033? Also not every prophecy is as literal as we might expect it to be.
Yes we are in the 7th seal. What i understood 6th had been opened. Butterflies in my stomach. Fellow Christians❤❤ . We need to comprehend God's wisdom in the next events in history and world 🌍🙏🙏
Thanks for all the effort you put into this channel
As I relisten to this a year and 1/2 later, I can see how the division of the members of the church is happening. I wonder how much worse it will get🤥
It is true that knowing the Truth strengthens one's resolve to live righteously. It is also true that those who entertain falsehoods not only find their resolve weakening, but they soon begin to think that what they once believed to be evil, they now believe to be good. I have seen this happen to multiple people in the last several years. It is frightening to see how their minds become so corrupted; they will say the most outrageous things, to the point where it is baffling to try to imagine how anyone could possibly believe such things. Satan's power to deceive is real, and it is growing.
Just a note about a temple in Zion. The Kansas City temple is a short 13 mile drive from the visitor center at Independence, MO. Calling that temple the "Independence, Missouri temple" would have caused quite a stir, but I bet we'd be safe in considering that temple the first of many to be built in Zion...
Amen!
Previously, I had no idea Independence was so close to KC. Then I good a Church History Tour. That got my attention when I heard about a temple being build in KC.
I’ve never clicked on a video so fast.

Extraordinary lol
Thank you for making these videos. I enjoy them immensely and find them very helpful in my scripture study..
I know this video is a year old,but I really like your stuff and it's very valuable learning for me.
Thank you for helping discern between Christ’s other appearances and His ultimate second coming. Your timeline is useful in understanding scattered scripture verses and how the second coming will play out. No matter the timing of it all, and whether it happens in our lifetime or not, the righteous will be saved. Keep it up!
Thank you for these great videos!
I feel like your videos are a literal fulfillment of this promise in this scripture: 3 Nephi 28:33 And if ye had all the scriptures which give an account of all the marvelous works of Christ, ye would, according to the words of Christ, know that these things must surely come.
Thanks, very interesting research and well presented. Much to think on.
Thank you for your time and effort in producing these videos. I really appreciate seeing your process, and I know how long it takes to put something like this together. Your positions are so well supported by scripture and prophecy - both past and present. I think we all want the second coming to happen as quickly as possible, so it's easy to get caught up in speculation that supports that want. I'm glad to hear your more temperate analyses. I love seeing your continuing perspective!
Your wisdom is unbelievable! Thank you! 🙏🏼🤍🕊️
I love how clear and easy to understand all your videos are. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I want to start off by saying that I appreciate your videos a LOT🙏🏼👍🏻
I do believe that Christ said he'd hasten time in the end for the sake of His saints ⏳
Not to mention that Pres. Nelson said that "Time is running out." I know we're told that our modern day prophets are given revelation for OUR day..
AND that those of us who are grounded in the gospel of Jesus Christ NEED NOT FEAR. So the world's burden may not be felt by some as badly as it really is...
Just my thoughts...
Peace and friendship brother🙏🏼💞
You can and should pray about what a prophet says, or any other church leader no matter your denomination. 2 Corinthians 13:1. I appreciate very much the amount of study and thought and prayer went into this topic. As you said, I hope that we will take this and continue our own studies on this topic to come to a greater understanding.
I was in full agreement right up until almost the end when you grouped the return of the ten tribes under the seventh seal. In D&C 77:10 we're told that events in Rev 7 are to occur in the sixth seal. In order call out 12,000 from each tribe, it only makes sense that all of the tribes are gathered in before that happens. Additionally, we're taught the land of America needs to be cleansed to make way for the return of the lost tribes. At least, that how the scriptures appear to order things. Other than that, well done!
“We should note that we do not know if John saw certain of the events in the exact order in which they will occur, or if some events will overlap or occur simultaneously.”
This is from an overview of the book of Revelation on the Church’s website. Personally, I feel that we are currently in the seventh seal already, and the “silence in heaven” will end within the next few years. I agree that everyone should follow the Spirit in doing their own research.
Agreed. I'm just looking forward to helping God in whatever ways He needs.
Also, D&C 77:7 Q. What are we to understand by the seven seals with which it was sealed? A. We are to understand that the first seal contains the things of the first thousand years, and the second also of the second thousand years, and so on until the seventh.
I love your videos, and appreciate the work you put into them! I’m sorry about the vocal few who don’t feel the same:)
Nice commentary. The Book of Revelation, from the opening of the seals onward, appears to be structured more or less chronologically, with interludes of doctrine taught symbolically (like the two beasts). This is why, especially subsequent to the opening of the seventh seal, we have signposts (like references to the first woe, second woe, etc.) that serve to remind that we are being shown a sequence of events leading up to the Second Coming. By this reckoning, it appears to me that the so-called "day of wrath" in the sixth seal (earthquake, earth reels to and fro, sun darkened, etc., as well as people hiding in caves) is a separate event that will be interpreted by many as the end of the world, but in fact will only be the beginning of woes precedent to the Second Coming. The temporal situation of this event with regard to other events in the 6th seal (like the sealing of the 144,000) is not entirely clear. But either way, the Book of Revelation then goes on to describe additional great earthquakes that will occur in the seventh seal, the last of which, coupled with a great hailstorm (shower of bolides?), will be the final destructive event before the Second Coming. So loosely speaking, there are a number of things yet to occur in the sixth seal, including the "day of wrath." Once they happen, there will be the "half hour of silence" at the beginning of the seventh seal, and then a series of cycles of catastrophe ("woes"), which may last longer and be of greater intensity than many of us realize. The scriptures do not bear out the notion that all of this will transpire over the course of a few months or years; rather, the transformation from fallen, telestial earth to transfigured, millenial earth may be the work of several generations.
Thank you so much that was really awesome! I appreciate all the scripture references you gave to support your position. Since I have just discovered you recently I’m glad that you did not quit sometime ago. Don’t take to heart naysayers, you’ve done the work.
I recently discovered your channel and I'm enjoying it, but I must weigh in on this subject. To me, it seems that the doctrine and covenants is clearly stating that each seal is a 1000 year period. In that case, the 7th seal was opened in the year 2000. It was marked by the dedication of the Palmyra temple and a church-wide the hosanna shout on April 6. If the silence in heaven is calculated for God's time, it ended in the year 2020. I do not believe that is supposed to be when Christ comes, I believe that is supposed to be when the tribulations start. 2020 was obviously a difficult year with many woes beyond just Covid. The next church-wide hosanna shout occured April 5, Palm Sunday, 2020. (Notice the Palm correlation in both) The first half or the tribulations is supposed to be unpleasant but relatively mild. The second half is the abomination of desolation. It is during this period of time that the three witnesses will preach and be killed and rise again. There is plenty of time between now and this event for wars, rumors of wars, Zion to be built, the meeting in Adam ondi ahman, a new temple to be built in Jerusalem (which is already being built off-site, by the way) famine, pestilence, plagues, missionaries being called home (for good), mark of the beast (which I believe is very much in the works with China's social credit system- intended to be rolled out everywhere- and people already getting microchipped) and Armageddon.
As far as the sun being darkened and the moon turning to blood and the big global earthquake and the Earth wobbling like a drunkard ( which would make the heavens appear to shake), it is my understanding that this is one event that comes in direct coincidence with Christ's return. If you go to the channel Suspicious Observers, you will learn of Ben Davidson's very scientific and very data driven hypothesis of solar micro novas. It is backed by years of intense research and an ever-growing body of scientific evidence, even though the theory is still not main stream. The theory is this: our sun micro novas every 12,000 years. The last micro nova was 12,000 years ago. When it novas, the following things happen: the entire corona is sneezed off. The sun goes dark for a few days while the Corona regenerates. The high pressure of electrical activity pushes the Earth's magnetic field and we have a magnetic pole reversal. This change causes the earth to tilt, global earthquake, seas leaving their bounds. The electrical energy from the nova can accumulate in the Earth's magnetic field lines and then shoot down to Earth as giant lighting or pillars of fire. As the moon has no protective magnetosphere, it will take a direct hit, which will cause its regolith to be melted (I imagine melted regolith glows red like lava, or blood) there is evidence of this event 12,000 years ago as the moon is covered with bits of glass. The astronauts where tasked with collecting samples of this glass is later moon landings. There are some who believe that the energy from this event that the Earth will be hit with will cause the energetic change from telestial to terrestrial. Will this also be the cleansing by burning? Probably.
Now, whether my timeline is right, or yours is, or someone else's is, I don't think it matters. If someone leaves the church cause some guy on UA-cam got the timeline wrong, they have bigger spiritual problems. I think what's more important is that our lamps are always trimmed and our oil full so that when the bridegroom does come we will be prepared. I think it's also very important not to get deceived by the lies of Babylon and get caught up in her agendas. There are many who are leaving the church because they choose the lies of Babylon.
Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work.
I was reading through your comment totally calmly and when I got to the part where you wrote the important part is trimming our lamp I got hit with the Spirit like BOOM with everything electrified and tears streaming out of my eyes. It was so weird and surprising I had to mention it. Thanks for your comment ❤
I'm having a hard time with the idea that the opening of the seventh seal is when Jesus lands on the mount of olives. What evidence is there of that?
All we have to do is look to the endowment ceremony, the Aaronic priesthood part has been removed. The seal has been broken, we are in the time of Melchizedek. The seal is broken, we are living in the millennium.
As far as I can find in my own studies, there isn't evidence of it. The church website says the 7th seal opens around the year 2000 (around, so by that logic we could still be in the 6th seal, though I think otherwise.) I feel that I can understand where the idea comes from, but people pick and choose the things they want to see literally vs metaphorically and we don't get to make those decisions.
@@NsTheName it is very confusing when Joseph Smith said that the Book of Revelation is the largest book ever written sometimes. I think he was misquoted or trolling us.
I think in the end all this will be similar to the writers of the Gospels who comment on how at the time they didn't understand what Jesus was talking about.
@@bigusdicus73 Certainly! I think once all comes to pass and we look in retrospect we'll all say, "Oooh, that's what you meant!" For now, we just don't know. We read the scriptures and let the Holy Ghost guide.
I love watching your videos. I learn a lot. Thank you.
Am o veste Minunată pentru aceii credincioși și iubitori de DOMNUL DUMNEZEUL CERURILOR...Al șaptelea sigiliu a fost rupt! Numai POATE fii oprit.Decat de DOMNUL DUMNEZEUL TĂU?
I have to say this is a very professional presentation. Excellent work. You are so comfortable with your assumptions that they flow like honey--however, as you point out, many of the details surrounding these scriptures are complicated. I believe it does everyone a disservice to try and simplify the scriptures about the last days to the point of a formula. The fact of the matter is that we are living in a time that has been foretold by scriptures and we have been reading these verses with the opinions of others ringing in our ears for so long, we don't know what we think. I appreciate you encouraging people to do their own research, but the fact of the matter is that most do not. Most study presentations such as yours and then count that as their study, since you quote scriptures and prophetic statements. This is not meant to be a criticism, but instead an observation that I have seen in my own family members. I echo your message that you say multiple times, that we must be willing to do our own study and reach independent conclusions and then pray to be led along, rather than just echo what people on UA-cam say about certain topics. I love the point that you make at the end of your presentation that if we expect things to occur in a certain way, and then if they don't, we might think none of it is true. I so agree. This is the danger of saying the events of the last days will happen in a certain order, according to a certain timetable, because inevitably, God will miss the memo and allow it to roll out naturally, so naturally that we all miss it, because we're expecting something else. This was the folly of the Jews when Christ came the first time. They had the scriptures, they thought they knew what they meant, they created a narrative in their head and totally missed Christ when he came to his own people, fulfilling all the scriptures so naturally, that they missed every one and then rejected him so strongly that they killed him. How tragic.
I appreciated that you presented your idea of the sequence of events outlined in the scripture and then briefly reviewed what others "thought", or theorized about the same topic and the differences, however, other than President Hinkley's talk, you glossed over why others believed as they did, as if there was no merit in other people's prayerful efforts. I appreciate that you gave your "assurance" that you were correct, but I believe that's the Spirit's job. Our job is to search, ponder, pray and ask, here a little, there a little, learning line upon line, watching for the signs of Christ's coming even if it doesn't agree with someone else's opinion. For example, who is to say that the strange, but miraculous and terrible and continuous large gathering at our south border that includes people from all over the world, Russia, Haiti, South America, China, etc. at a time that ice is flowing down and the desert is blossoming as a rose, crossing over a land bridge at the isthmus of Panama, isn't the return of the lost tribes? I'm not saying it is, I'm just saying, have you ever seen so many people from so many backgrounds feel so compelled to gather to the promised land? Have you seen so many people say that God has told them to come and be willing to sell everything they have to WALK as the children of Israel walked--to the promised land??? What treasures are they bringing? Do we have any idea? No, we're not even watching. What about the strange storm just 2 weeks ago when the Nile flooded, causing waters to heave beyond their bounds, the sky to shake with thunder, hail to fall, and a plague of 500 stings of scorpions as they sought refuge in the homes? This happened the same week we had the longest blood moon in over 500 years. What about that strange storm? Are these signs of the times announcing the closeness of Christ's coming? Sounds very plague"y" to me. Are we to look at these events and see that things are changing politically to match Revelation and changing in the earth as she rejects the evil that's on this earth? How about the looting that is beginning to take hold of our nation as mobs loot and riot? Who are apart of these mobs? Do we know? Could this be the beginning of the remnant of Jacob that shall be among the Gentiles and tread down then tear in pieces because America will not repent? Will it continue until storefronts cannot afford to be open? I'm not saying any of these things are fulfilling prophesy, but I am saying we are seeing strange things happening in the Promised Land that match scripture that can be fulfilled repeatedly and often, as the time of Christ nears. (People's nature is one that needs many warnings and signs to wake up) So are we watching? Or are we dismissing all of these things because they don't perfectly fit in any presenter's scenario. Are we prepared for the economic crash that is upon us, or are we saying that because we are not in the 7th seal, we don't have anything to worry about--Christ's coming is a long way off? And who is to say that we'll even know when the two witnesses will be in Israel? Who says they aren't there right now and that storm that affected Egypt wasn't apart of their work? Again, I'm not saying it was, but how will we know? Will they be on the news? Do you think the legacy media will report of things that go on in Israel, or the Middle East if it doesn't suit their purposes? Do you think the anti-christ organization that will rule their world full of images of the beast will allow such information not to be censored? Do you think that the masses being controlled by sorcery "pharmacy" will even notice? I'm just asking the questions. It's up to us to decide if we want to know the answers.
Thank you for your excellent work but leave it open ended--we must discover what it means to live through these last days. What an adventure it can be if we notice what is happening around us! What stories we'll tell in the millennium if we pay attention!
Ted Edwards' wife :)
I absolutely LOVE this reply and wholeheartedly agree. When we preach as though we know for certain, we're on shaky ground. I have thus far not found anyone that can truly convince me we're in the 6th seal. That doesn't mean we aren't and I'm open to it because there's so much I don't understand, but from my own research of the scriptures (which is ongoing) I still believe we're in the 7th seal. At the end of the day, all I want is the Savior to return so I don't much care about being right or wrong. The only sting of being wrong is that the Lord would be further away and I think that to look at the current worlds affairs and say we're still afar off is dishonest.
All is well in zion. I am shocked how many say that things aren't bad so the end can't be near. The world is bigger than your backyard. Thanks for your comment, I completely agree with you.
Just love all the insights. Strengthens my testimony. Thank you so much for your dedication.
Thank you for so much research and work. I esp liked the drawing of the 7 scrolls, each inside the next. I couldn't picture how that might work before.
That's super crazy I believe this all the way you are truly sharp dude Mr dude rumors and rumors of War not to worry I agree with all of that 100%. I think we're in that time Yahoo
I appreciate your efforts to help everyone understand these important scriptural events. While it is good to improve our knowledge about the scriptures, I dont feel the pressing need to understand everything about the coming events. What is more important and what we all are dealing with everyday is to strengthen our testimony of God the Father and Christ. Making efforts to Come Unto Christ by living a Christ like life is the only thing that matters. These other events will simply take care of themselves.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and testimony with everyone.
I agree about not wanting to read negative comments I think your best course of action would be hand it over to a trusted loved one family member or friend and tell them to go ahead and delete all the negative comments before you read them. You got to protect yourself
Well, here’s a very positive comment. I love all the videos you’ve put together!!!! Keep doing them please.
Thank you for your knowledge and insight. Your work is valuable. Trolls: I’ve seen negative comments on a baby being saved. It’s ridiculous. The work you do is great. You put everything together and then tell us to do our research. Great advice! Your research really helps. May the Lord bless you for it!❤️
My honest opinion is that we could be in the 5th seal as well to honest No One really knows for sure which seal we are really in! I was worried at first but when my daughter asked me what was wrong and what was I thinking about I told her life itself. Then she look at me and said you don’t need to have fear or worries God said that all of these things will come to past .Then she said God will protect his children from all hurt harm and danger😊 you don’t have to be afraid or to worry! I believe in what she told me I guess she sees me as one of Gods angles ! This truly touched my heart and my soul. I know within my heart my family and I are safe !
Thank you for this video and the others I have looked at. I love your approach.
Really loved this breakdown! After all of the deep dive videos you’ve done on this topic it really clicked for me.
I always appreciate your videos, they’ve helped me a lot in my return to the LDS faith (:
Let me back up here a little, and just say that my wife and I really enjoy your videos. As far as religious channels, you are 1 of 2 channels that I actually really like. Don't want to come off as a negative nancy or anything, lol. I really do appreciate them very much!
6th seal or 7th? Can't say for sure. What we do know with certainty is that we are in the last dispensation and that our inspired prophet has told us to prepare spiritually and temporally for what's ahead (fasten your seatbelt and let God prevail). We can get a pretty good timeline of things to come by studying the Book of Mormon and making note of the pride cycle that keeps repeating. How many years passed from the time they live in righteousness to when they completely turned their hearts away from gospel truth. I think we are pretty far into the current pride cycle. Thanks for your research and thoughts on the topic.
Cindy, great comment
You shouldn't be studying a book that was written by man and not by God, like the Bible. The 6th seal is for certain. But you wouldn't know that with the book of Mormon. I used to go to the Mormon church and I left because of all the false teachings, specially how they celebrate Pagan holidays in the church and the false teachings of the two Angel's that brought the book of Mormon which is not even in scripture. No one should be studying anything outside of what God left us. The Holy Bible.
@@JuanDiaz-jo1rw Interesting Juan. I would caution you about telling God can or cannot do. That is called blasphemy. Read carefully John 10:16 and understand that Christ himself was aware of the people who had already left Jerusalem centuries before his birth. He told his disciples that he would gather in these Book of Mormon people just as he has gathered in those in Jerusalem. A very simple but logical explanation for how the Book of Mormon came about.
Please keep up the excellent work. Your videos are informative and inspiring. Your work is blessed and important.
You are a very gifted teacher, please keep doing these videos! Thank you so much!!
Thanks so much for making these! Very interesting and well done. So much good information you’ve gathered, all your videos are fun and interesting to watch/listen to!
3rd time through...Brilliant...thanks buddy.
Ignore the trolls, you just can’t do anything about them sometimes 🤷♂️ we’re all very thankful for your videos man
