REAPING THE EAST WIND

Hmmm..... this gives the phrase a little more meaning! (thanks Awaken and Bryan D):

The "east wind" is referred to 19 times in the Old Testament and twice in the Book of Mormon. All of those references use the phrase to mean something that is extremely destructive.

Mosiah 7:29-31 says, " For behold, the Lord hath said: I will not succor my people in the day of their transgression; but I will hedge up their ways that they prosper not; and their doings shall be as a stumbling block before them.

30 And again, he saith: If my people shall sow filthiness they shall reap the chaff thereof in the whirlwind; and the effect thereof is poison.

31 And again he saith: If my people shall sow filthiness they shall reap the east wind, which bringeth immediate destruction."

'In Israel, khamsin (Hebrew: חמסין) is known more formally as sharav (שרב), and the Biblical term for khamsin is ruaḥ qadīm (רוח קדים) or "east wind". It refers to a hot, dry, sandy wind that blows from the desert on the east of Israel. It typically lasts only a few hours but the word I keep running into for it is "oppressive". Deadly. See

China's new Mach10 orbital precision-guided missile is named "Dongfeng": it means "East Wind". I think they knew what they were doing when they picked the name.

The article below highlights some very interesting points about current events.

I think Jesus Christ is the "East Wind" bringing immediate destruction upon the wicked. When He returns, it will be from the East. There's a reason in VOG at the end everyone was told to get inside the Church buildings, temples right before the arrival of Jesus Christ to cleanse the earth.

Things are REALLY heating up over the Temple Mount!

Notice the media didn't report that Obama got off the "back end" of AF1 at the G20 summit? No red carpet, not even stairs were provided, and only some low level people were sent to greet him. And Hitlery's coughing fits and ambulance in her motorcaids! Wonder if she has throat cancer and her health really is failing. Perhaps God is shutting her mouth up!

Just from personal experience, here in the plains states, if a storm blows in from the East, look out! It will generally be intense, and unpredictable; possibly deadly. Storms usually flow from the West, not the other way. So, the inference is literal, as well as, symbolic. Either way, look out! It is going to be bad for those who don't take cover and have the Spirit to guide and protect them.

WHY SHOULD WE STUDY THE HIDDEN THINGS RELATED TO THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST?

But the Latter-day Saints are not in darkness; they are the children of light, although many of us will actually be asleep. We shall have to wake up and trim up our lamps, or we shall not be prepared to enter in; for we shall all slumber and sleep in that day, and some will have gone to sleep from which they will not awake until they awake up in darkness without any oil in their lamps. But, as a general thing, the Saints will understand the signs of the times. Others have their eyes closed upon the prophecies of the ancient Prophets; and not only that, but they are void of the spirit of prophecy themselves. When a man has this, though he may appeal to ancient Prophets to get understanding on some subjects he does not clearly understand, yet, as he has the spirit of prophecy in himself, he will not be in darkness; he will have a knowledge of the signs of the times; he will have a knowledge of the house of Israel, and of Zion, of the ten tribes and of many things and purposes and events that are to take place on the earth; and he will see coming events, and can say such an event will take place, and after that another, and then another; and after that the trumpet shall sound, and after that certain things will take place, and then another trump shall sound, &c., &c.; and he will have his eye fixed on the signs of the times, and that day will not overtake him unawares.

JD, O PRATT 7:190

JOSEPH SMITH SAID THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING AND WAITING, WILL KNOW THE HOUR:

"Christ says no man knoweth the day or the hour when the Son of Man cometh. This is a sweeping argument for sectarianism against Latter day ism. Did Christ speak this as a general principle throughout all generations Oh no he spoke in the present tense no man that was then liveing upon the footstool of God knew the day or the hour But he did not say that there was no man throughout all generations that should not know the day or the hour. No for this would be in flat contradiction with other scripture for the prophet says that God will do nothing but what he will reveal unto his Servants the prophets consequently if it is not made known to the Prophets it will not come to pass; again we find Paul 1st of Thesslonians 5th Chapter expressly points out the characters who shall not know the day nor the hour when the Son of Man cometh for says he it will come upon them as the theif or unawares. Who are they they are the children of darkness or night. But to the Saints he says yea are not of the night nor of darkness of that that day should come upon you unawares. John the revelator says 14 chap 7th verse that the hour of his judgements is come they are precursers or forerunners of the comeing of Christ. read Matthew 24 Chap and all the Prophets. He says then shall they see the Sign of the comeing of the Son of Man in the clouds of Heaven. How are we to see it Ans. As the lighting up of the morning or the dawning of the morning cometh from the east and shineth unto the west—So also is the comeing of the Son of Man. The dawning of the morning makes its appearance in the east and moves along gradualy so also will the comeing of the Son of Man be. it will be small at its first appearance and gradually becomes larger untill every eye shall see it. Shall the Saints understand it Oh yes. Paul says so. Shall the wicked understand Oh no they attribute it to a natural cause. They will probably suppose it is two great comets comeing in contact with each other It will be small at first and will grow larger and larger untill it will be all in a blaze so that every eye shall see it." (Joseph Smith, General Conference, April 6, 1843
