THE FINAL GATHERING - THE LAST HARVEST

In order to accommodate all the people who have fled the disaster on the West Coast, the Saints in Utah will need to have their food storage in order - or they and their families will starve.

At the EOTW Conference, I tried to drive this thought home.  For survival, families will need to be in complete unity and lasered in on a common value set - otherwise, the division that Christ spoke of will come about.  It was mentioned in this excerpt of words of Joseph Smith.

"The time will come when the banks of every nation will fall and only two places will be safe where people can deposit their gold and treasure. This place will be the White Horse and England's vaults. A terrible revolution will take place in the land of America, such as has never been seen before; for the land will be left without a Supreme Government, and every specie of wickedness will be practiced rampantly in the land. Father will be against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother. The most terrible scenes of bloodshed, murder and rape that have ever been imagined or looked upon will take place. People will be taken from the earth and there will be peace and love only in the Rocky Mountains. This will cause many hundreds of thousands of the honest in heart of the world to gather there, not because they would be Saints, but for safety and because they will be so numerous that you will be in danger of famine, but not for want of seed, time and harvest, but because of so many to be fed. Many will come with bundles under their arms to escape the calamities for there will be no escape except only by escaping and fleeing to Zion. Those that come to you will try to keep the laws and be one with you for they will see your unity and the greatness of your organization.

Now, there may be some who will object to the above statement, because it is part of the "White Horse prophecy".  That is fine, you can continue in your state of cognitive dissonance (saying that all is well in Zion), but I will not publish derisive comments from here on out, unless you have the courage to identify who you are in the comment.  I love respectful and thoughtful commentary.  Even contrarian commentary, if it is sincere and thoughtful.
