We DO happen to have ample scriptural precedent for a calling out before calamities. We have Enoch (analgous to our day), Moses, Lehi, the Jaredites, the Mulekites (literally hundreds of others in scripture and out of scripture), where the Lord had led the righteous out before dropping the hammer. I would love to make a master list of those I am aware of......
Of course, the modern ones are driving of the Saints out of the USA in order to effect the harvest of the wicked in the Civil War - the war to start all wars. We are about to get into the big one where the purge happens first amongst the Saints, then this country generally. When the general purge is in effect, people will most likely be taken to places of refuge.
I have recently come across some information of great interest that I will pass along as time permits in regards to callouts.
Here is the Isaiah connection. Very interesting - and I give credit to those who have the gift to ferret this stuff out of Isaiah. I know the words are supposed to be plain and simple - but not necessarily to me.....:
Isaiah 57:1 from the King James version and then the Isaiah Institute Translation version.
Isaiah 57:1 (King James Translation) The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
Isaiah 57:1 (Isaiah Institute Translation) The righteous disappear, and no man gives it a thought; the godly are gathered out, but no one perceives that from impending calamity the righteous are withdrawn.
Reminds me of the injunction of Matthew 24 - to get out when impending calamity is near. When they are declaring peace - just as they now are in Syria. I am going to re-visit those verses once again. When it seemed that all was well, Jesus' extended family just slipped away and disappeared into the sunset for France, England and parts unknown. Having the Spirit is paramount.
Interesting this should be mentioned when our stake is calling a special stake conference meeting in which the doors will be locked at a certain time. According to some ,it is because a general authority is visiting they are locking the doors for security - on a special stake conference? We have had general authorities visiting stake conference before without locking doors
ReplyDeleteAre you be willing to share WHERE your stake is located and WHEN this stake conference will be held?

ReplyDeleteIf the Wards and States we are currently in are symbolic... Then there is a different gathering coming.... to these "Holy Places".
"The Saints must look to the First Presidency and gather at whatever time and in whatever manner they prescribe" - Doctrine & Covenants Student Manual Section 29

ReplyDelete1 The righteous disappear,
and no man gives it a thought;
the godly are gathered out,
but no one perceives that from impending calamity
the righteous are withdrawn.
2 They who walk uprightly shall attain peace,
and rest in their beds.
The term “righteous” or “righteous one” (saddiq) connotes individuals rather than a majority of Jehovah’s people (Isaiah 50:10; 56:3)
