AFTER THE DOOM AND GLOOM - REPRISAL

While not particularly impressed with the person who wrote this comment (they do not understand their doctrine), I think some of the comments were spot on.  I could not have said it better:

  1. I don't see the blog as doom and gloom. I see it as "it's go time." Think of the calamities not as the end, but rather like a corporation's all-hands meeting with employees, where the Lord introduces new, better policies for accelerated growth. Yes, there will be a reorganization, and some lay-offs, and serious house cleaning. But the thought of having the fullness of the priesthood, more interaction with the other side of the veil, miracles becoming common, and faith increasing excites me. It's like the whole company is getting a big fat promotion, as long as we faithfully execute the new plan according to the boss' will. Yes, it'll be rough and people will die, but goodness will increase as much as the evil, and I look forward to taking a stand and building Zion.

  2. Still not addressing the main questions...Do you really think that the Lord would have the Church put so much emphasis and effort into all it's programs, media, buildings, training, just to have it all laid to waste? Will all the survivors become "manual laborers" where everybody then has the huge task of rebuilding ALL of civilization? Who will produce the food? Who will clean the water? Who will build the computer systems all the way from the chip manufacturers all the way back up to the internet functioning again? Who will rebuild the power system/grid? What makes NO SENSE is that the Lord would waste all the efforts thus far just to have mankind totally start over FROM SCRATCH, with NOTHING. Talk about a set back! That is NOT moving "the work" forward! This blog speaks tons about destruction, but NOTHING about the plan afterwards other than it will "be glorious" type of thing. If you have so much wisdom about "what's to come", why are you so lacking on the specifics of my questions above and how everything will be "Restored & Rebuilt". Saying, "The lamanites will do it all" doesn't get the job done. Have you for one minute considered that things will go down differerently than you espouse? So many LDS's get caught up in sensationalism. The LDS's write more books and blogs than any other religion on earth because they have wild imaginations. Please share some specifics that directly address my questions. If you can not, then you've just proven my point...That the LDS's have vivid imaginations, that are not doctrinally correct. Thanks.

  3. I'm sure many of the saints who built the Nauvoo Temple asked that same question after they were told to migrate yet again just after its completion. The Temple burned to the ground, and for what? I believe it was a test of faith. Also, our ways are not the Lord's ways. Everything has a purpose under the direction of God. We should not be so quick to question His judgement.

    The righteous who are left will be tasked with rebuilding a new world (a millennial world under the reign of Christ). It is my understanding that we will have no need for computer chips or even power grids as all power will come directly from Christ as he dwells on the Earth. Even the most advanced microchip will seem primitive in comparison to God's technology. Everyone will work to rebuild Zion. Christ will organize and direct the work perfectly.

    Have a little faith.

  4. To the Anonymous poster on Aug 20.

    First, your writing comes of as a bit manic. Yelling throughout your comments, then ending with "Thanks." Just plain weird, man.

    Second, the Lord isn't going to hold off on his judgments just to preserve a building or two. When God makes kicks off calamities and Tribulation, it'll happen sudden, and he will provide a way for his work to continue. I highly doubt we'll need anything man-made after Tribulation begins. The time is intended to cleanse the world and prepare people to meet the Lord. When his power shows more evidently, are we going to need an internet? Medication? Food? Cars? The point is to teach his children to rely on him for everything. The old world will change, and a new one begins. Everything we're doing now will become pointless in such a new paradigm.

    So rather than blathering like an idiot and criticizing people for having an imagination, try getting one of your own.

    I'm not worried about rebuilding the world for the Millennium. The world will be in a terrestrial state, much like the garden of Eden. Did Adam plant and cultivate? Not in the garden. The garden produced food spontaneously, the lines of communication were heavenly. Sounds a lot better than this.

    Sorry, but if someone is concerned about getting the internet back in order for the work to continue, then they really need to read the Book of Isaiah and ponder it a little. I mean, not only will we not have the internet, but we won't even have the sun, but yet we will always have light (see Is 60:19). And, sorry, I don't have my scriptures available to properly check, but doesn't the New Testament basically say that at the time of destruction that there will be marriages and other aspects of normal life being celebrated up until the last moment?

    I'm pretty certain the church will be investing in the work up until the very, very last possible second. The church has the funds, so it's going to use them. The actual WASTE would be if the church has funds to invest in the work, but doesn't make such investments in programs (You know, sort of like burying the talent until the master comes.) IN FACT, I believe that if you observe an increase in investments in the work, that would be a sign the work is hastening and the end is coming soon, and I believe that is precisely what we are seeing now.

    If anyone thinks that God will protect the church in the state it is in now, they have their head so far into never-never land that they are a lost cause. The church is doing an awesome job in a lot of areas but it is so contaminated with sin and ignorance it makes me puke. I don't know the name of the guy who owns this blog "The Wood Zone" but I love him. He is one of the few left in the church that isn't clueless and ignorant. He is doing a lot of good keeping people reminded of the hell that is about to pummel every aspect of our lives.
