THE BEAR AND LION QUOTE COMPLETELY IN CONTEXT

 Never seen this before:

“Elder Jesse W. Fox, Sen., received the narration from Father Taylor, the father of the late President John Taylor. The old gentleman said that at one time the Prophet Joseph was in his house conversing about the battle of Waterloo, in which Father Taylor had taken part. Suddenly the Prophet turned and said, ‘Father Taylor, you will live to see, though I will not, greater battles than that of Waterloo. The United States will go to war with Mexico, and thus gain an increase of Territory. The slave question will cause a division between the North and the South, and in these wars greater battles than Waterloo will occur. But,’ he continued, with emphasis, “‘when the great bear (Russia) lays her paw on the lion (England) the winding up scene is not far distant.’

“These words were uttered before there was any prospect of war with Mexico, and such a thing as division in the United States was never contemplated. Vet these fierce struggles came, and though Joseph himself was slain before they occurred, Father Taylor lived to witness some of the world’s most remarkable battles.

“The struggle between the bear and the lion has not yet happened, but as surely as Joseph the Prophet ever predicted such an event so surely will it not fail of its fulfillment.” (Juvenile Instructor vol 25, no 6, pg 162).

  1. Interesting, considering that Russia is accusing the UK of blowing up the pipeline.

  2. Could that prophecy also be related to Ukraine, the lion was their symbol during the 1800s if that's the case then we're there already.

  3. I think it’s very likely that the lien referred to Ukraine specially around Kyiv. It’s not likely they would lay their hands upon great Britain or England was a part of the UN. This war in Ukraine is just like a bear has put his paw on that country. I think this is a fulfillment of his prophecy. England was put in parentheses but was not necessarily what Joseph meant by that.

  4. A while back you had a third hand report of someone that had a near death/spend a while in a coma experience. I was really intrigued by the info in that and several times I have gone back through this blog trying to find it and have been unable. Did you remove it? Is there a way I can get a copy?
