WENT TO LDS FREEDOM FORUMS AND HAVE BEEN WANTING TO POST SOMETHING FROM A THREAD ON THE OPENING OF THE SEVENTH SEAL. ELENIN FITS ALL MARKERS:
When I see the sign of the Son of Man coming (the one spoken of by Joseph Smith and in D&C), I will look to the New Jerusalem for his arrival because it happens before the 1/2 hour of silence. When you see the sign of the coming of the Son of Man, you will be looking at Old Jerusalem and will think you missed the boat because the 1st trump in your mind will already have sounded and the first resurrection will have already occurred because Christ comes to the Old Jerusalem with the seventh trump.
There are three appearances of Christ as you know. Take a look at when those three signs are given. One before the 1/2 hour of silence, which is the signal of the opening of the seventh seal, one at the sound of the trumpet to Old Jerusalem, well after the 1/2 hour of silence, and one after that when he appears to all the world. We have not even seen the first one yet. The half hour of silence has not begun yet. The opening of the seventh seal has not happened yet.
I know we are all anxious to have it happen, but it has not.
Take a look at this sign I speak of. Joseph Smith spoke of it. The D&C teaches of it. It happens before the 1/2 hour of silence. Even everyone on this forum speaks of it as if it has not happened. That is because it hasn't.
(Doctrine and Covenants 88:92-95.)
92 And angels shall fly through the midst of heaven, crying with a loud voice, sounding the trump of God, saying: Prepare ye, prepare ye, O inhabitants of the earth; for the judgment of our God is come. Behold, and lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
93 And immediately there shall appear a great sign in heaven, and all people shall see it together.
94 And another angel shall sound his trump, saying: That great church, the mother of abominations, that made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, that persecuteth the saints of God, that shed their blood—she who sitteth upon many waters, and upon the islands of the sea—behold, she is the tares of the earth; she is bound in bundles; her bands are made strong, no man can loose them; therefore, she is ready to be burned. And he shall sound his trump both long and loud, and all nations shall hear it.
95 And there shall be silence in heaven for the space of half an hour; and immediately after shall the curtain of heaven be unfolded, as a scroll is unfolded after it is rolled up, and the face of the Lord shall be unveiled;
In regard to these signs the Prophet Joseph Smith has given us the following: "There will be wars and rumors of wars, signs in the heavens above and on the earth beneath, the sun turned into darkness and the moon to blood, earthquakes in divers places, the seas heaving beyond their bounds; then will appear one grand sign of the Son of Man in heaven. But what will the world do? They will say it is a planet, a comet, etc. But the Son of Man will come as the sign of the coming of the Son of Man, which will be as the light of the morning cometh out of the east." (D.H.C. April 6, 1843. "Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 286-7.)
(Joseph Fielding Smith, Church History and Modern Revelation, 4 vols. [Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1946-1949], 1: 145.)
We read in the scriptures (Daniel ch. 7) that there is to be a grand council in the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman, at which will be gathered all those who have held keys of dispensations, and a multitude of others. At this council reports will be given of stewardships by these servants who held the keys, Jesus Christ will come to take his rightful place as King of kings on the earth. At this council Adam will deliver up his stewardship along with the others, but will retain his standing as the head, or presiding officer, over the human family. Adam is named the "Ancient of Days," because, as the Prophet says, "Daniel in his seventh chapter speaks of the Ancient of Days; he means the oldest man, our father Adam, Michael, he will call his children together and hold a council with them to prepare them for the coming of the Son of Man." (D.H.C., Vol. 3:386.)
(Joseph Fielding Smith, Church History and Modern Revelation, 4 vols. [Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1946-1949], 4: 39 - 40.)
(Daniel 7:13-14.)
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
This is the opening of the seventh seal, the Millennium. Christ will have the keys, He will reign, but the earth will not know it because it all happened in a Priesthood Meeting at Adam ondi Ahmen.
