I know what will cause (is causing) the great Bear (Russia) to come roaring out of her hibernation den. I know that she will come angry and the attack will be sudden and bitter for the ones who awoke her.
I have wondered what will cause the 10 tribes to break out of their 2500 year self-hiatus. Will it be a command from God to return through the prophets that we know are working among them? Will it be a report that their brothers in Israel and throughout the earth are in line for the final purge that satan has planned for them - and they come to do God's vengeance upon those who molest and make afraid? Will they come because the mechanism that took the portion of the earth that they were on so many years ago, is automatically set in motion according to cosmic mechanics (Jubilee year?) when the great dragon once again dances in the sky?
The reasons for so many migrations of God's children have been set in motion decades and even centuries prior. In the case of Joseph Smith Sr. having to leave the farm in Vermont was due to a volcano that formed generations before and then erupted in a specific year, causing a three or more year cold snap that forced many farmers out of the cold Vermont hills to the lower, more fertile valleys in upstate NY. Providence at work.
The migration of the Saints from Missouri to Illinois and points east, was set in motion when slaves were imported into the US in the 1600-1800's and the land which was the home to ancient foundational sites such as the Garden of Eden, Adam-ondi-Ahman and many others suddenly was thrust into the forefront of American politics as the swing state of the pro-slavery movement. Massachussetts was then mobilized to send 5,000 families to the rough frontier state to push the population over the tipping point towards an anti-slavery political stance. A group of humble people just wanting to live their lives in peace and relative tranquility as they moved west from Ohio and NY were caught in the middle of this raging political battle. They came out the losers in the short term. The ruffians who threw them out of the state were wiped out in the Civil War as God fought the Saints' battles on His terms.
Shortly, as persecution bears down again on the Saints, God will send a people to destroy the remaining vestiges of (corrupt) government from the face of the land, just as prophesied in the Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 12:
This terrible shaking of the earth comes shortly - and most of the people affected by it will be thrust back into the stone age almost overnight. People who are spoiled and not used to going without, will not be able to handle the reality of it. War for the remaining assets will ensue. Since Babylon shall fall with a mighty fall first, others who want the spoils will sweep in to take what they feel is theirs. Incidentally, I just learned the other day from a commenter, that Russia teaches their youth that Alaska was only leased to the USA, not sold for $67 million back in Seward's day. Alaska is a prize as most of the known oil reserves are un-tapped up there. Not to mention all of the other wealth that has not been taken out of her.6 Therefore, O Lord, thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and hearken unto soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.8 Their land is also full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.9 And the mean man boweth not down, and the great man humbleth himself not, therefore, forgive him not.10 O ye wicked ones, enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for the fear of the Lord and the glory of his majesty shall smite thee.11 And it shall come to pass that the lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.12 For the day of the Lord of Hosts soon cometh upon all nations, yea, upon every one; yea, upon the proud and lofty, and upon every one who is lifted up, and he shall be brought low.13 Yea, and the day of the Lord shall come upon all the cedars of Lebanon, for they are high and lifted up; and upon all the oaks of Bashan;14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills, and upon all the nations which are lifted up, and upon every people;16 And upon all the ships of the sea, and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for the fear of the Lord shall come upon them and the glory of his majesty shall smite them, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which he hath made for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for the fear of the Lord shall come upon them and the majesty of his glory shall smite them, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
1 For behold, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem, and from Judah, the stay and the staff, the whole staff of bread, and the whole stay of water—3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor; the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, and shall say: Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let not this ruin come under thy hand—7 In that day shall he swear, saying: I will not be a healer; for in my house there is neither bread nor clothing; make me not a ruler of the people.8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen, because their tongues and their doings have been against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them, and doth declare their sin to be even as Sodom, and they cannot hide it. Wo unto their souls, for they have rewarded evil unto themselves!12 And my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they who lead thee cause thee to err and destroy the way of thy paths.14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people and the princes thereof; for ye have eaten up the vineyard and the spoil of the poor in your houses.15 What mean ye? Ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor, saith the Lord God of Hosts.16 Moreover, the Lord saith: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet—17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments, and cauls, and round tires like the moon;20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings;
To end this, here is what may drive China over here..... Our clean air, water and resources (such as food and now oil). I do not mention several trillion in unpaid debt. We are a prize for a country like China - they have a pretext, and they only await the right opportunity to act on their "doctrine" of first right, etc. Here is the article that got me spun up - and explains what just may cause them to be motivated to expand their frontiers:
Beijing smog makes city unliveable, says mayor
Polluting factories and skyrocketing vehicle ownership blamed as report finds tourism to Chinese city falls 10% on year before

Beijing’s mayor, Wang Anshun, has called the city “unliveable” because of its noxious smog, according to state media.
“To establish a first-tier, international, liveable and harmonious city, it is very important to establish a system of standards, and Beijing is currently doing this,” he said last Friday, according to the China Youth Daily newspaper.
“At the present time, however, Beijing is not a liveable city.”
Anshun’s speech came days before the market research company Euromonitor International announced, in its findings on the global tourism market in 2013, that tourism to Beijing had declined by 10% from the year before due to pollution and a countrywide economic slowdown.
The company’s top 100 city destination rankings, released on Tuesday, ranked Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok in its top three spots, followed by London and Paris. Beijing ranked 34th, in between Johannesburg and Sofia, Bulgaria.
Wang, a former official in the state-controlled petroleum sector and in north-west China’s Gansu province, said the pollution was caused by its distribution of polluting factories and skyrocketing ownership of motor vehicles. In his speech, he demanded that Beijing’s polluting factories shut down entirely rather than “irresponsibly relocate” to neighbouring areas of Hebei and Tianjin.
In 2014, Beijing authorities closed 392 companies for causing pollution and took 476,000 old vehicles off the roads, Wang said.
He added that despite the choking pollution, Beijing’s biggest problem was population control, claiming the influx of migrant labour put strains on the city’s infrastructure. The city has 21.5 million residents and is growing at a rate of more than 350,000 a year.
In September 2013, China’s cabinet introduced a sweeping anti-pollution plan, which included prohibiting the construction of new coal-fired power plants in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the country’s three most important cities.
“This represents the government is strict with science, truth-seeking, responsible for the people and determined to pursue human-centred administration, improve the environment and safeguard people’s health rights,” said the announcement.
Yet 18 months on, the plan appears to be taking slow effect. Beijing is still shrouded by smog on most days. Authorities announced that in 2014, particulate matter 2.5 – pollutants most dangerous to human health – dropped by 4%, falling just short of the government’s 5% reduction target.
