THE VISION OF LORIN C. WOOLLEY (1886)
In about the year 1886, after having retired to rest, all of a sudden I appeared to be standing on a high range of mountains, from which point I could see a cordon of Elders reaching from Yucatan, South America, north to the Arctic regions. Then there appeared a black cloud in the Balkans traveling westward. It only reached to the shores of the United States when it seemed to stop and go back to its starting point. Then it came again and covered all the eastern part of the United States and north into Canada. As I looked, I saw what appeared to be large birds (now interpreted as being airplanes) emerge from the dark cloud; also horseless carriages appeared, (automobiles) all loaded principally with women, travelling westward. We made no attempt to stop them.
As the cloud traveled westward, groups of men holding the Priesthood seemed to run in circles, one in the center of each group, rebuking the cloud through prayer. The cloud would stop and start again and it made headway until it reached the Missouri River west of Independence. At this point, three groups of Elders with three men, (instead of one as before) in the center of each group, formed in circles, one group being in Canada, one group in the United States, and one in Mexico, (Lorin Woolley being in the center of the center circle). As we prayed, the cloud went back. I could see clearly from Yucatan to the frozen north.
A black cloud also arose over the Pacific Ocean and traveled eastward as far as the Sierra Mountains, where it was arrested, not reaching Utah.
In relating the above to President John Taylor and others of the brethren, President Taylor said the vision showed two wars, the first reaching only to the Eastern shores of the United States, while the second would reach to the shores of the Missouri River. The Asiatics [LDSguy's comment: Chinese and/or North Korean??] will overrun the Western Coast, but will not be able to hold it. He said, "It will be a war of desolation."

WOOLLEY PROPHECY
I cannot fully vouch for this, but it seems to be coming about shortly as we will have foreign troops on our soil within the next 2-15 years according to my estimates:

A ZION PEOPLE - UNLEARNING THE ART OF WAR
I actively and strongly yearn for a Zion environment. One where there is no war - except in strict defense of our wives and children, our liberty and our religion (ability to worship God how and where we please).
Denver Snuffer (what a name, huh?), is one of my favorite bloggists and he really did a great job on this piece the Zion people we should all be striving to be.
I defer to him on this topic:

SHOULD WE SUPPORT AND MAINTAIN A STANDING ARMY WHOSE EFFECT IS FELT IN ALMOST EVERY NATION UNDER THE HEAVENS?
I was shocked a few years ago when I began finding stunning statements of the LDS Church' First Presidency. In regard to mandatory military service, look what they said back over a half century ago, especially point numbers 14-17. And who can argue with David O. McKay.... We bring upon ourselves what is coming by our own lack of blindness and our lack of understanding of what is written in the Book of Mormon regarding the proper use of force. We need to tread lightly on our attitudes and support for those who have, with their silver and gold, bought up armies and false priests (politicians and otherwise) who oppress the people in a non-millennial form of existence:
STATEMENT BY THE FIRST PRESIDENCY REGARDING UNIVERSAL COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING
We print below a letter dated December 14, 1945, addressed by the First Presidency of the Church to each member of the Utah Congressional Delegation-Senators Thomas and Murdock and Congressmen Granger and Robinson. Word has now been received by the First Presidency from both Senators and both Congressmen expressing their approval of and belief in the sentiments, reasons, and conclusions set forth in the letter. The letter follows:
“Press reports have for some months indicated that a determined effort is in the making to establish in this country a compulsory universal military training designed to draw into military training and service the entire youth of the nation. We had hoped that mature reflection might lead the proponents of such a policy to abandon it. We have felt and still feel that such a policy would carry with it the gravest dangers to our Republic.
“It now appears that the proponents of the policy have persuaded the Administration to adopt it, in what on its face is a modified form. We deeply regret this, because we dislike to find ourselves under the necessity of opposing any policy so sponsored. However, we are so persuaded of the rightfulness of our position, and we regard the policy so threatening to the true purposes for which this Government was set up, as set forth in the great Preamble to the Constitution, that we are constrained respectfully to invite your attention to the following considerations:
“1. By taking our sons at the most impressionable age of their adolescence and putting them into army camps under rigorous military discipline, we shall seriously endanger their initiative thereby impairing one of the essential elements of American citizenship. While on its face the suggested plan might not seem to visualize the army camp training, yet there seems little doubt that our military leaders contemplate such a period, with similar recurring periods after the boys are placed in the reserves.
“2. By taking our boys from their homes, we shall deprive them of parental guidance and control at this important period of their youth, and there is no substitute for the care and love of a mother for a young son.
“3. We shall take them out of school and suffer their minds to be directed in other channels, so that very many of them after leaving the army, will never return to finish their schooling, thus over a few years materially reducing the literacy of the whole nation.
“4. We shall give opportunity to teach our sons not only the way to kill but also, in too many cases, the desire to kill, thereby increasing lawlessness and disorder to the consequent upsetting of the stability of our national society. God said at Sinai, “Thou shalt not kill.”
“5. We shall take them from the refining, ennobling, character-building atmosphere of the home, and place them under a drastic discipline in an environment that is hostile to most of the finer and nobler things of home and of life.
“6. We shall make our sons the victims of systematized allurements to gamble, to drink, to smoke, to swear, to associate with lewd women, to be selfish, idle, irresponsible save under restraint of force, to be common, coarse, and vulgar, all contrary to and destructive of the American home.
“7. We shall deprive our sons of any adequate religious training and activity during their training years, for the religious element of army life is both inadequate and ineffective.
“8. We shall put them where they may be indoctrinated with a wholly un-American view of the aims and purposes of their individual lives, and of the life of the whole people and nation, which are founded on the ways of peace, whereas they will be taught to believe in the ways of war.
“9. We shall take them away from all participation in the means and measures of production to the economic loss of the whole nation.
“10. We shall lay them open to wholly erroneous ideas of their duties to themselves, to their family, and to society in the matter of independence, self-sufficiency, individual initiative, and what we have come to call American manhood.
“11. We shall subject them to encouragement in a belief that they can always live off the labors of others through the government or otherwise.
“12. We shall make possible their building into a military caste which from all human experience bodes ill for that equality and unity which must always characterize the citizenry of a republic.
“13. By creating an immense standing army, we shall create to our liberties and free institutions a threat foreseen and condemned by the founders of the Republic, and by the people of this country from that time till now. Great standing armies have always been the tools of ambitious dictators to the destruction of freedom.
“14. By the creation of a great war machine, we shall invite and tempt the waging of war against foreign countries, upon little or no provocation; for the possession of great military power always breeds thirst for domination, for empire, and for a rule by might not right.
“15. By building a huge armed establishment, we shall belie our protestations of peace and peaceful intent and force other nations to a like course of militarism, so placing upon the peoples of the earth crushing burdens of taxation that with their present tax load will hardly be bearable, and that will gravely threaten our social, economic, and governmental systems.
“16. We shall make of the whole earth one great military camp whose separate armies, headed by war-minded officers, will never rest till they are at one another’s throats in what will be the most terrible contest the world has ever seen.
“17. All the advantages for the protection of the country offered by a standing army may be obtained by the National Guard system which has proved so effective in the past and which is unattended by the evils of entire mobilization.
“Responsive to the ancient wisdom, ‘Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it,’ obedient to the divine message that heralded the birth of Jesus the Christ, the Savior and Redeemer of the world, ‘. . . on earth peace, good will toward men,’ and knowing that our Constitution and the Government set up under it were inspired of God and should be preserved to the blessing not only of our own citizenry but, as an example, to the blessing of all the world, we have the honor respectfully to urge that you do your utmost to defeat any plan designed to bring about the compulsory military service of our citizenry. Should it be urged that our complete armament is necessary for our safety, it may be confidently replied that a proper foreign policy, implemented by an effective diplomacy, can avert the dangers that are feared. What this country needs and what the world needs, is a will for peace, not war. God will help our efforts to bring this about.

EUROPEAN WARS OF DESOLATION
THIS IS YET IN THE FUTURE AT THE HANDS OF THE MUSLIM INVADERS. THE ONLY PEOPLE TO SUCCESSFULLY REPEL THEM WILL BE THE IRISH, IN PART DUE TO GEOGRAPHY AND IN PART DUE TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF GUERRILLA TACTICS NOT LONG AGO FORGOTTEN.
Elder Orson Pratt said in 1879:
"When that day shall come there shall be wars, not such wars as have come in centuries and years that are past and gone, but a desolating war. When I say desolating, I mean that it will lay these European nations in waste. Cities will be left vacated, without inhabitants. The people will be destroyed by the sword of their own hands. Not only this but many other cities will be burned; for when contending armies are wrought up with terrible anger, without the Spirit of God upon them, when they are left to themselves, there will be no quarter given, no prisoners taken. But a war of destruction, of desolation, of the burning of the cities and villages, until the land is laid desolate. That is another thing that will come before the coming of the Son of Man." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 20:151, given on March 9, 1879.)

CIVIL WAR STARTING IN CHICAGO - WE JUST GOT THE NEW ROBERT E. LEE
CHECK THIS LINK OUT:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1039849853
HERE IS THE ORIGINAL PROPHECY:
This was a letter from Nephi Packard to A. Milton Musser on July 24, 1896:
"... My brother, Noah Packard, says that he heard the Prophet Joseph say that the next great (U.S. civil) war after the war of the rebellion (the Civil War of the 1860's between the North and the South) would commence in a little town now called Chicago but at that time it would have grown to be a very large city. And another brother told me that the Prophet said that the cause of the next great trouble of the United States would be the depreciation of the currency of the United States. I believe I have given you all the facts in as short and concise manner as possible."
Another quote regarding the Civil War itself comes from an interview by Dr. Poulson with David Whitmer, printed in the Deseret News on Friday, August 16, 1878:
Question: When will the temple be built in Independence?
Answer: Right after the great tribulation is over
Question: What do you mean by that?
Answer: A civil war more bloody and cruel than the rebellion. It will be the smashing up of this nation, about which time the second great work has to be done, a work like Joseph did, and the translation of the sealed plates and peace all over.
AND HERE IS THE FUEL THAT THEY ARE THROWING ON THE FIRE - INCOME TAXES INCREASING BY HALF. THAT IS RICH. INSTEAD OF CUTTING SERVICES BY 1/3, THESE JOKERS ARE GOING TO TAX PEOPLE INTO THE GROUND. WHAT A JOKE!!!! WE ARE SETTING OURSELVES UP FOR THE PERFECT STORM OF RIOTING AND GENERAL DISCONTENT THAT LEADS TO SOCIAL CHAOS.
AND THERE IS MORE. INSTEAD OF CUTTING BACK, THE SOCIALIST PIGS ARE RATCHETING UP THE COST OF LIVING THERE WHILE THE ABILITY TO PAY IS GREATLY REDUCED. VERY SMART....
ONCE MORE THAN 50% OF THE PIGS ARE FEEDING AT THE TROUGH, THEY WILL KEEP VOTING IN MORE SLOP FOR THEMSELVES AND THEN IT NOSE-DIVES IN. HERE IS THE LATEST REBELLION:

Illinois Income Tax May Jump 50 Percent
Report: Gov. Pat Quinn Wants Tax Hike To Fight Deficit Reporting
Joanie Lum CHICAGO (CBS) ―

CBS
(3/10/2009)
State Faces Bigger Budget Crisis Than Realized (2/4/2009)
Income taxes in Illinois could soon be going up by as much as 50 percent to combat deficits in a difficult state budget.
As CBS 2's Joanie Lum reports, Gov. Pat Quinn is reportedly considering raising taxes to deal with a growing budget deficit.
Quinn has been hinting about the problems in the state budget this year for some time. He gives his first address on the subject next Wednesday, and there is word that income taxes will go up as 50 percent.
The Chicago Tribune reports that Quinn wants to raise the state income tax to 4.5 percent from 3 percent.
Illinoisans have had a lower income tax rate than other states for some time. This would be the first increase in 20 years.
In addition, some business tax breaks would be eliminated, and Quinn promises to tighten state government spending.
Quinn will balance the increase by raising the standard tax exemption up to $6,000 per person from $2,000, to help low- and middle-income families.
The income tax increase could bring in nearly $4 billion. The budget deficit is expected to be more than $9 billion by the summer of 2010.
Taxpayers in Chicago weren't surprised, but many said the timing is poor.
"We already can't afford to pay the taxes – people who have homes and what have you now, so it's going to be really rough," said Nadeja Borras.
"Already, the taxes are pretty high, so it could be a disadvantage for the State of Illinois," said Sara Mirarefi.
But some Chicagoans thought a tax increase might be necessary.
"I think it's about time somebody's got the guts to go in there and say, 'Hey, we have to increase taxes,'" said Jim Kauss. "We have to pay for this. it's not free."
State lawmakers are also talking about raising gasoline taxes to pay for road and bridge construction. Fees on driver's licenses and license plate stickers may also go up.
CBS 2 Political Editor Mike Flannery is talking one-on-one with Gov. Quinn later in the day.

Parking Meter Revolt: Frustration Over High Costs Reporting
Jay Levine CHICAGO (CBS) ―
Click to enlarge
Chicagoans are so frustrated with broken parking meters and high costs, some are vandalizing the meters.
CBS
They are taking more of your quarters every day. And Chicagoans are in revolt. While some are saying enough by avoiding them, others are taking out their frustrations on the parking meters - literally! CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine reports with the anger behind the new meter rate increases.
You think eight is enough? How about 12? That's how many quarters buy an hour of parking time in some places now. And its why some people have had enough.
Near Broadway and Addison, meter after meter are broken.
"I called the company and I said I don't want a ticket," one woman said.
LAZ is a Chicago company which collects the money for the New York owner which paid the city $1.2 billion to lease the city's 36,000 meters for 75 years. They've pasted new stickers on them, doubled the rates to as much as a quarter for five minutes in the Loop. That's $3 an hour to $2 an hour in many other neighborhoods. People are angry.
"People come into this neighborhood for entertainment reasons, and you can't anymore because meters are so expensive," said Joe DiSalvo.
And people are frustrated.
"It's jammed," a woman said.
CBS 2 called the company, too; twice to New York, another to Chicago. They didn't call back. We also called the city. They called back but basically said, 'not our meters anymore, not our problem anymore.'
Enter a guy who calls himself 'Mike The Parking Ticket Geek.' He contacted us via Twitter and showed us his website, theexpiredmeter.com, which he used to give people advice on how to beat parking tickets. The site has become a lightning rod for peoples' complaints about the new rates and operators.
Mike says the people who are writing to him have a sense of "anger, frustration, rage in some cases."
To the point where some, it appears, are vandalizing the meters. Pictures on Mike's website show meters deliberately smashed, taken apart, spray-painted, or deliberately jammed.
"People suggest taking a quarter, putting some super glue on it, and putting it in the coin slot," Mike said.
That jams the meter and everyone parks for free. Or not at all.
All over the city, we saw stretches of meters empty in places where people had been fighting for spots. Having to put in 12 quarters an hour was either too inconvenient or too expensive.
The credit card meters, promised for the entire city within six months, are still rare. And peoples' patience is wearing thin.
"Some people write me and say, 'this is the last straw, my condo is for sale, sales tax, red light cameras.' It's just too much for some people,'" Mike said.
The meter people have said they hope to get things straightened out by April 10th. Some have suggested a moratorium on tickets until they do. But with the city having given up the proceeds from the meters but still getting the revenue for the tickets, the meter revolt may fall on deaf ears.

TEMPLE MOUNT AND THE LAST DAYS
HERE IS A POST THAT I SUBMITTED TO A DISCUSSION BOARD ON EVENTS ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT AND WHEN/HOW THE JEWS WILL BUILD THEIR TEMPLE BEFORE THE RETURN OF THE LORD:
Yes, the existing structure on TM has to be destroyed/removed (Al Aqsa has been destroyed no less than 7 times since its inception to subvert the plan of God - read large earthquake). Also please note that we have an impostor on our "holy site" in the NJ - except the Comm. of Christ's "dome" is copper clad as opposed to gold. Likewise, that must come down, as well for God's people Ephraim/Manasseh to reclaim what is theirs.
I agree with those on this post that are calling out the 'anti-zionists' - they should stop and repent, study up on this topic and recognize God's hand in bringing Israel home. The adversary has always thrown up obstacles to attempt to interrupt God's holy work. The moslems who have played into those plans have even gone to the extent of planting a cemetery in front of the East Gate in Israel in an attempt to thwart the Son of Man, the Great High Priest, from entering triumphantly (and ritually clean) and claiming His temple (that Judah has built as their offering in faith to HIM). It is amazing the machinations that body of people (Palestinians, Jordanians, etc.) are going thru to attempt to deny God's people their inheritance - far more insidious than anything Boggs and others historically have done to the children of Ephraim in their quest for Zion and the NJ.
Yes, Judah will have to build the temple that will rival Herod's and Solomon's in nature, size, etc. I believe after the existing structure is brought down (not by the Israelis, but by God in an act of God), then the UN or some other mediating body will work to come up with a solution that will meet all needs - otherwise there would be a bloodbath from almost any alternative scenario.
The Jerusalem center may be used for traditional purposes (work for the living and the dead) as that nation (and the Arabs) will be converted in a day and there will be immense amounts of work to do when that comes about.
For more information about what is going on over there, go and see:
www.templemountfaithful.org
There is a whole body of very dedicated Jews and Christian friends who want things to go forward, if only on God's timeline. My wife and I are interested in donating 1/2 to 1 oz. of gold towards the lavers, etc. for the sacred edifice so that our interest is immortalized in a small contribution to the cause. Go here for more info:
https://www.templeinstitute.org/donate.htm
Pretty great stuff. If we support Israel as a nation, we swim - anything else and we sink. Our new POTUS needs to get that through his thick head. We can be friends to the moslem world while still supporting Israel and advancing their cause and urging moderation and humane treatment of those that were there "squatting" and simply taking care of their families. If there is no compassion in their treatment, condemnation will come upon Israel for not following good principle and protocol upon their fellow brothers and children of Abraham.
Yes, the existing structure on TM has to be destroyed/removed (Al Aqsa has been destroyed no less than 7 times since its inception to subvert the plan of God - read large earthquake). Also please note that we have an impostor on our "holy site" in the NJ - except the Comm. of Christ's "dome" is copper clad as opposed to gold.

I agree with those on this post that are calling out the 'anti-zionists' - they should stop and repent, study up on this topic and recognize God's hand in bringing Israel home. The adversary has always thrown up obstacles to attempt to interrupt God's holy work. The moslems who have played into those plans have even gone to the extent of planting a cemetery in front of the East Gate in Israel in an attempt to thwart the Son of Man, the Great High Priest, from entering triumphantly (and ritually clean) and claiming His temple (that Judah has built as their offering in faith to HIM). It is amazing the machinations that body of people (Palestinians, Jordanians, etc.) are going thru to attempt to deny God's people their inheritance - far more insidious than anything Boggs and others historically have done to the children of Ephraim in their quest for Zion and the NJ.
Yes, Judah will have to build the temple that will rival Herod's and Solomon's in nature, size, etc. I believe after the existing structure is brought down (not by the Israelis, but by God in an act of God), then the UN or some other mediating body will work to come up with a solution that will meet all needs - otherwise there would be a bloodbath from almost any alternative scenario.
The Jerusalem center may be used for traditional purposes (work for the living and the dead) as that nation (and the Arabs) will be converted in a day and there will be immense amounts of work to do when that comes about.

There is a whole body of very dedicated Jews and Christian friends who want things to go forward, if only on God's timeline. My wife and I are interested in donating 1/2 to 1 oz. of gold towards the lavers, etc. for the sacred edifice so that our interest is immortalized in a small contribution to the cause.

Pretty great stuff. If we support Israel as a nation, we swim - anything else and we sink. Our new POTUS needs to get that through his thick head. We can be friends to the moslem world while still supporting Israel and advancing their cause and urging moderation and humane treatment of those that were there "squatting" and simply taking care of their families. If there is no compassion in their treatment, condemnation will come upon Israel for not following good principle and protocol upon their fellow brothers and children of Abraham.

A Remarkable Prophecy By President John Taylor As Told by Edward Lunt, An Ordinance Worker in the Mesa Temple
The following incident occurred at my father's home in Cedar City, at the time a stake conference was being held in that city, at which President John Taylor and George A. Smith were present.
Apostle Smith was asked to conduct the conference, as President Taylor wished to rest after his having held meetings in the different wards and stakes between Salt Lake City and Cedar City. President Taylor asked Elder George A. Smith to start the conference, as he wished to rest until the afternoon meeting. President Taylor, with some of the authorities, was staying at the home of my parents during this conference.
President Taylor wished to go to his room and lie down. He asked my mother to awaken him in time for the afternoon conference, as he feared he might oversleep and thus fail to arrive at the conference in time.
My mother was busy preparing dinner for the visitors but was surprised to see President Taylor come into the kitchen so soon after retiring for his much needed rest. He immediately started telling mother of a most remarkable vision that he had just had while in his room.
He stated that he saw that Salt Lake City would become a great city with many beautiful paved roads and streets of cement construction, and that the people had become wealthy. He saw that the city extended almost to the point of the mountain south of the new 1951 State prison.
The people, he saw, had become quite indifferent to the counsel and advice of the authorities of the church, and were more interested in the accumulation of wealth than they were in living their religion. He told mother that he saw that war had been started, and that so great was the destruction of life within the city that blood ran down the gutters as though it were streams of water, and the violence was such that it would cause the destruction of the beautiful city. The people were fighting among themselves until it became necessary to remove the church records across the Colorado river.
President Taylor said to mother, "If you are alive at that time, be sure that you are not behind the Church records, because after the Church records leave and are made secure, the very powers of hell would be turned loose, and there will be such destruction that there will be but little life remain, ---not only in Salt Lake City, but in adjoining cities also. And in Jackson County, Missouri civilization will become entirely extinct, and all means of transportation such as rail roads and highways will be destroyed, and the only means of travel will be on foot.
All means of manufacturing will also be entirely destroyed. Be sure when you see these things come that you have buttons, needles, cloth and things to work with as much as possible, to make yourselves clothing, because all tools and every kind of machinery will be destroyed. It will be such a destructive war that in comparison to the sufferings and the drivings of the people of Nauvoo, it would be only a drop in the bucket.
"One half of the Mormon people will entirely forsake their leaders, and half of the other half, because of their suffering, will leave the church. Many Mormons will die in the struggle, but the Lord will bless those who stick faithfully to the church and will bless them to the extent that they will not be destroyed."
He said that faithful Latter-day Saints would go to the south and would form a circle something like a horseshoe, before they return to Jackson County, Missouri. Said he, "Those only will be privileged to help build Jackson County who will be found willing and glad to obey the counsel and advice of the authorities who will be placed over them, and who will seek counsel that they may be guided and protected from dire want and distress.
President Taylor also said that we will assist the Lamanites in building the New Jerusalem in Jackson county. He said that the vision to him appeared so terrible that he besought the Lord to close it up, but he saw that those who would keep the commandments and adhere to the authorities of the church would be the ones who would survive and not be destroyed. And that the lord would protect them as he did the children of Israel.
The above experience my mother told to me many, many times; and she held this great experience very sacred.
