FIFTY ONES SHADES OF BLACK AND WHITE - COMPARING THE FIRST COMING TO THE SECOND COMING

This would make a good study primer for those who want to dig into first vs second coming topics:

My wife and I were able to take in a second endowment session this week together today. It was great. I was able to answer her questions in the chapel before the session and we each had a few more after in the Celestial Room. We are convinced that we just shifted it into second gear as a Church and our progression towards terrestrial living. I did my usual prayer and opened the BoM up in the Chapel so the Lord could teach me.

I was shown the scripture in 3rd Nephi where the Lord basically said that the lower law was done away when He came. Folks, we just dumped all the telestial stuff and walked into the terrestrial mode.

I have had a few Snufferites/spirits of anti-Christs show up and start pumping comments on the blog. We could argue til we are blue in the face. I have clearly stated I tire of apostates and those with apostate spirits. Humble yourselves, repent and get back on track already.... We could throw slander all over the place at the Brethren, this leader, that leader, etc etc. FACT IS THIS: I have personally tangled with Ed Decker and Tal Bachman and other apostates or people who are actively criticizing the Brethren. I have studied the Snufferite movement and am still sore at a few good people that trainwreck brought down. I understand clearly what happened to WW Phelps, Martin Harris and many others who were "wiser" than those with the keys to the kingdom. You know what they all have in common? They are much worse off today than when they decided to jump over the gunwhales and go for a mid-cruise swim off the decks of the Good Ship Zion. Folks - y'all gotta pull the stick out of yer butts and realize that you are not smarter than the collective wisdom and direction of the majority of the 12 and the anointed Prophet. Seriously - get over yourselves.....

By yer fruits, I can see right through the lot of you. Tal, a personal acquaintance that I grew up with was openly criticizing the anointed ones while going sideways on the Law of Chastity. He threw away a wonderful wife and 8 kids. He will never be able to side-step his responsibility in the fall of that family unit.

It is always that damning law - when people again think they can just step to the side of it and do their own thing. Sorry, folks. There is no wiggle room there. It is pretty cut and dried. If you think it is not, enjoy the feeling of the bloodied toes as you kick against those thorns..... Stupid, stupid, stupid..... Does not work. There is a reason that the Law of Chastity is the gate to the Celestial Kingdom. If you think you can do your own thing - you are barred and damned unless you bend the knee and confess that God's ways are greater than yours.

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
