Doing so could save your life:
The following is a story from the personal journal of Canute Peterson, my 2nd great grandfather who was the first Stake President and Patriarch for over 20 years in Ephraim Utah until his passing in 1902. He also helped found Snow College and a leader building the Manti Temple. He knew Joseph, and convinced many Scandinavian saints to follow Brigham and not others claiming authority.
Recently, when President Nelson was dedicating the ground for the Ephraim temple, he asked if there were any descendants of Canute Peterson and no one raised their hand in the audience. However, I gladly raised my hand at home as he said, then do your family history! Which made me smile. May we always remember when we partner with the Lord, all things are possible!
While Canute was serving a 7-year mission in Norway in 1853, testifying boldly of our Savior Jesus Christ he wrote:
"It was now my duty to return [from Denmark] to Christiania [Norway] – my field of labor.
The winter was very severe and the harbor of Copenhagen was frozen out for miles.
The Brethren therefore suggested that I return through Sweden. Having no money, I would have been obliged to walk the whole way. This would have been hundreds of miles through deep snow, and the weather was very severe.
The thought of this journey made me feel very low spirited and downcast, and I went down to the hall where the Saints were staying to try to cheer up.
About 9 o’clock while I was enjoying myself, I felt a heavy hand strike me on the shoulder from behind. On turning around to my astonishment I saw that it was Captain Thoreson [of a shipping vessel].
He told me what had happened, and why he came for me. He said, “The next morning after you and your company had left me, I was lying in my [bed].
To my great astonishment, I saw a very fine looking man standing on the floor. He was drest in white, and his clothes were of peculiar fashion. He called me by name. He then said, “Go to Copenhagen and get my servant, Canute Peterson and take him back with you to Norway.” He then disappeared.
[I did not.] Evening came and we were still not loaded [to go].
“The next morning when I awoke it was broad daylight and I hastened to dress myself. While sitting on the edge of the [bed] to put on my stockings, I looked up, and there before me stood that same person. “He raised his hand and pointing to me said, Captain Thoreson if you do not go to Copenhagen and get my servant Canute Peterson, you will surely be wrecked and lose your life.” Then he vanished.
Canute: Now we sailed in sight of shore until nightfall... [However] the vessel could not be turned against the the wind as we desired. Then we had to turn opposite way, which all the time brought us nearer and nearer the shore. And we soon found that we were in great danger of being dashed to pieces.
Realizing our great danger, I went down into the cabin and tried to offer up a word of prayer. I came up on the deck, and still our condition was very precarious. After a few moments I returned to pray again, and this time my prayer was answered.
When I came on deck, the Captain, being fully aware that I had been praying said, “This time it helped, for see, the wind is coming from the shore.” A very favorable breeze now helped us to pass this dangerous point, and on we sailed toward our destination without any further hindrance or delay.
When everything became pleasant the Captain said, “Now I can see where the danger laid, and I think where my grave would have been if I had disobeyed!”
Something to consider about the new war in Israel - I found this some time ago and found it interesting. If you look up Alois Irlmaier there is more information about him...
ReplyDeleteThe Prophecies Of Alois Irlmaier (1894-1959)
May 1, 1999
Future visions
On this page statements of Alois Irlmaier are listed, which refer to a big war in the future.
Conrad Adlmaier got these statements when discussing with Alois Irlmaier and published them
later. In addition also statements are listed, which Conrad Adlmaier did not publish in his
books, but indicated to a third person orally. In these statements Alois Irlmaier shows an
almost precise description of a large battle in the future.
What causes the war?
"Everything calls peace, Schalom! Then it will occur - a new Middle East war suddenly flames
up, big naval forces are facing hostiley in the Mediterranean - the situation is strained. But the
actual firing spark is set on fire in the Balkan: I see a "large one" falling, a bloody dagger lies
beside him - then impact is on impact. ..."
"Two men kill a third highranked. They were paid by other people. ..."
"The third murder occurred. Then the war starts. ..."
"One of the murderer is a small black man, the other a little bit taller, with bright coloured
hair. I think, it will be at the Balkans, but cannot say it exactly. ..."
"The year before the war will be a fruitful year with much fruit and grain. After the murder of
the third it starts overnight. ... I see quite clearly three numbers, two eights and a nine. But I
cannot say what it means and cannot state a time. The war begins at sunrise. He comes along
rapidly. The farmers sit in the pub playing cards, when the foreign soldiers look through the
windows and doors. Quite black an army comes from the east, but however everything occurs
very rapidly. I see a three, but I do not know if it means three days or three weeks.
Part 2 - My previous entry was too long so I shortened it here is some more...
ReplyDeleteIt comes
from the golden city. The first worm begins at the blue Water in the northwest and goes to the
Swiss borders. As far as Regensburg no more bridges crossing the Donau (english=danube?)
exist, they do not come from the south of the blue water.""... Then impact is on impact. Massed units march from the East into Belgrade and moved
forward to Italy. Thereafter three armored wedges immediately advance with lightning speed
in the north of the Danube over West Germany towards the Rhine - without preliminary
warning. This will occur so unexpectedly that the population flees full of panic to the west.
Many cars will clog the roads - if they would have stayed at home or would not have used the
main streets. Everything, which will be an obstacle for the rapidly advancing tanks on
highspeed-motorways and other fast-motorways, will be down-rolled. I cannot see any
Danube-bridges above Regensburg anymore. Hardly anything remains of the big city
Frankfurt.. The Rhine Valley will be devastated, mainly by air. ..."
"... I see three spearheads coming: the below spearhead comes along over the forest, but then
pulls up itself northwestly alongside the Danube. The line is for instance Prague, Bavarian
forest and northwest. The blue water is the southern boundary. The second spearhead goes
from east to west over Saxonia, the third from northeast to southwest. Now I see the earth like
a ball before me, on which the lines of the airplanes step out (project), which do now fly up like
swarms of white pigeons from the sand. The Russian does not stop anywhere, while running in
his three wedges. Day and night they run in order to reach the Ruhrdistrict, where the many
furnaces and fire-places are... "
"The second spear comes westwards over Saxonia towards the Ruhrdistrict, exactly like the
third, which goes from northeast westwards over Berlin. Day and night the Russians run,
inexorably their target is the Ruhrdistrict... "
"...Immediately the revenge comes from across the large water. However the yellow dragon
invade in Alaska and Canada at the same time. But he comes not far..."
" I see the earth like a ball before me, on whom now the white pigeons fly near, a very large
number coming up from the sand. And then it rains a yellow dust in a line. When the golden
city is destroyed, it begins. Like a yellow line it goes up to the city in the bay. It will be a clear
night, when they begin to throw it. The tanks are still driving, but those who sit in these tanks
became quite black. Where it falls down, everything will be dead, no tree, no bush, no cattle, no
grass, this becomes withered and black. The houses still exist. I don't know, what it is and so I
cannot tell it. It is a long line. Who goes over this line, dies. The ones, who are on the one side
cannot go over to the other side. Then everything at the spearheads breaks down. They all
must go to the north. What they have with them, they throw away. Nobody will come back
anymore... "
Part 3 -
ReplyDelete"The airplanes drop a yellow powder between the Black Sea and the North Sea. Thus a death
strip is created, straight from the Black Sea to the North Sea, as wide as half Bavaria. In this
zone no more grass can grow, let alone humans live. The Russian supply is interrupted... "
"Swarms of pigeons ascend from the sand. Two herds achieve the combat area from the west to
southwest... The squadrons turn towards the north and cut off the course of the third army.
From the east there are many caterpillars. But in the caterpillars everybody is already dead,
although the vehicles keep rolling on, in order to gradually stop automatic. Here, the pilots also
throw off their small black boxes. They do explode, before they touch the soil, and spread a
yellow or green smoke or dust. What comes in contact with this becomes dead, whether it is a
human, an animal or a plant. For one year no organism is allowed to enter this area, otherwise
it will expose itself to the largest mortal danger. At the Rhine the attack is finally repelled.
From the three spearheads no soldier will come home anymore... ""These boxes are satanic. When they explode, a yellow and green dust or smoke arises,
everything that comes in contact to it, is dead, it is a human, an animal or a plant. The humans
become quite black and the meat fall off their bones, so sharply is the poison."
"... By a natural catastrophe or something similar the Russians suddenly evade to the north.
Around Cologne the last battle has started. ..."
"... At the Rhine I see a half-moon, which wants to devour everything. The horns of the sickle
want to close. What this means, I do not know. ..."
"Then they are flying to the north. In the center there is a mark, there lives nothing anymore,
no human, no animal, no grass. They fly to the quite north, where the third spearhead had
come in, and do cut off everything. So they will all be murdered, nobody from these three
armies will come back home anymore. ...But then I see someone flying, coming from the east,
who drops something into the large water, so that something strange will happen. The water
lifts itself as high as a tower and falls down, then everything is inundated (flooded). There is an
earthquake and the half of the big island will sink. The whole action will not last long, I see
three lines - three days, three weeks, three months, I don't know exactly, but it won't last
long!"
Part 4 -
ReplyDelete"A single airplane, which comes from the east, throws something into the large water. Then the
water lifts itself as high as a tower and falls down. Everything is inundated. There is an
earthquake. The southern part of England slips into the water. Three large cities will be
ruined: one will be destroyed by the water, the second is located so high in the Sea, that you
can only see the church tower and the third falls in."
"One part of England disappears, when the thing falls into the sea, which the pilot drops. Then
the water lifts itself as high as a tower and falls down. What this thing is, I do not know..."
"The countries at the sea are endangered of the water heavily, the sea is very unrest, the waves
go high as a house; it foams, as if it would cook/boil in the underground. Islands disappear, and
the climate changes. A part of the proud island sinks, if the thing falls into the sea, which the
pilot drops. Then the water lifts itself as high as a tower and falls down. What this thing is, I do
not know. When it comes, I do not know."
"The January will be so warm at some time that the mosquitos will dance. It can be that we
already come into a time, when there won't be a normal winter at all, like we do know him
now."
"...During the war the big darkness comes, which lasts 72 hours." "It will become dark at a
day during the war. Then a hail impact, consisting of lightning and thunder, breaks out and an
earthquake vibrates the earth. Please do not go out of the house at that time.

ReplyDeleteThe lights do not
burn, except candle light, the current stops. Who inhales the dust, gets a cramp and dies. Do
not open the windows, cover it completely with black paper. All open-standing water become
poisonous and also all open-standing meals, which are not in locked doses. Also no meals in
glasses, because they would not cover it up completely. Outside the death by dust goes around,
many humans die. After 72 hours everything is over. But again: Do not go out of the house, do
not look out of the windows, and keep the candle light burning. And pray. Overnight there will
die more humans than in the two world wars before.""...Do not open a window during during the 72 hours. The rivers will have so few water that
you can easily pass them. The cattle falls, the grass becomes yellow and dry, the dead humans
will become quite yellow and black. The wind drives the clouds of death off to the east."
"...The city with the iron tower becomes the victim of the own people. They ignite everything.
Revolution is, and everything is going wildly. The islands before the coast sink, because the
water is quite wild. I see large holes in the sea, which will be filled, when the enormous waves
return. The beautiful city at the blue sea sinks almost completely in the sea and in the dirt and
sand, which the sea ejects. I see three cities sinking in the south, in the northwest and in the
west."
"The large city with the high iron tower is on fire. But this has been done by the own people,
not by those, which came from the east. And I can exactly see that the city is made equal to the
ground. And in Italy it is going wildly too. They kill many people there and the Pope flees, but
many clergymen will be killed, many churches collapse. "
"In Russia a revolution breaks out and a civil war. The corpses are so much that you cannot
remove them off the roads anymore. The cross comes to honours anew. The Russian people
believe in God anew. The large ones among the party leaders commit suicide and in the blood
the great gulity is washed off. I see a red mass, mixed with yellow faces, it is a general riot and
horrable killing. Then they sing the Easter song and burn candles in front of sacral pictures.
By the prayer of the Christianity the monster of hell dies; also the young people believe anew
in the intercession of the God's mother."
"After the victory an emperor is crowned by the fleeing Pope. How long all this lasts, I do not
know. I see three nines. The third nine brings the peace. If everything is over, a part of the
inhabitants have died, and the people are frightened of God anew. The laws, which bring death
to the children, become invalid after the clearing. Then peace will be. A good time. I see three
crowns flashing, and a gaunt old man will be our King. Also the very old crown in the south
comes to honours again."
"The Pope, who had not to flee across the water for a long period of time, returns. When the
flowers bloom on the meadows, he will return and mourn for his murdered brothers. "
" . . .After these events a long, lucky time comes. Those, who will experience it, will be very
happy and can praise themselves lucky. But the people have to begin there, where their
grandfathers began."
