This commentary in from a gal who already has great dominion and will yet sit on a throne in heaven among the greats. Her name is Rhonda:
Did you see that Moroni is being taken down along with part of the temple spires?

It brought to mind this statement by Orson Hyde about Moroni leaving. Maybe it parallels this, and maybe it doesn't, but it's interesting to think about.
"So sure and certain as the great water courses wend their way to the ocean, and there find their level—so sure as the passing thundercloud hovers around yonder Twin Peaks of the Wasatch Mountains, and upon their grey and barren rocks pours the fury of its storm, just so sure and certain will the guardian angel of these United States fly to a remote distance from their borders, and the anger of the Almighty wax hot against them in causing them to drink from the cup of bitterness and division, and the very dregs, stirred up by the hands of foreign powers, in a manner more cruel and fierce than the enemies of the Saints in the day of their greatest distress and anguish; and all this because they laid not to heart the martyrdom of the Saints and Prophets, avenged not their blood by punishing the murderers, neither succored nor aided the Saints after they were despoiled of their goods and homes.
"...Had the United States been as faithful a guardian to the Latter-day Saints as the angel of God has been to them, she would never know dissolution, nor be humbled in dishonor by the decrees of any foreign powers.
"...When Justice is satisfied, and the blood of martyrs atoned for, the guardian angel of America will return to his station, resume his charge, and restore the Constitution of our country to the respect and veneration of the people; for it was given by the inspiration of our God. "

I also wonder when the angel will go back up. The article makes it sound like it's at the end of the temple project, which about 3.5 years from now.
If so, and if the 7 years tribulation began in September 2016 like I suspect, last month-- the month of the earthquake and damage-- is almost exactly halfway through it. If the project ends in 3.5 years, that *could* coincide with the end of the tribulations.
First - thanks for sharing, both this post and the blog in general.
ReplyDeleteSecond, it's obvious you badly want to believe you know where we are on the timeline, but truly ask yourself if you honestly think we've been in "tribulations" since 2016. You are obviously aware of what's coming - the last few years could hardly be classified as such.
I agree I do not believe we have entered the period of tribulation yet but the prophets inspired direction in the last 2 years are preparing the saints for it
