I LIKE BEING IN NUTTY COMPANY, MUCH LIKE THE CREAMY BROWN PASTE IN A JAR OF CRUNCHY JIFFY....
Hi guys:
This is serious. We received confirmation last night that Dr. Byron Glenn from our research group clearly saw the ELE object with orbiting satellites through his telescope. This is the recent email to family and friends:
Hi Sherrie, Monica, Susan and family members:
Sherrie is writing me about the collapsing magnetosphere of our planet, which is just one of many symptoms that we have an approaching dwarf star on route to the center of our solar system. I am writing you guys today with disturbing news about what our survival group leader and physician Dr. Byron Glenn and his engineer son saw in their expensive telescope. Earth crossed ELEnin orbit on April 25, 2011 to match orbit at 1.8 AU, or about 170 million miles in distance that will remain constant until the end of June. That means our Earth and this object are like two racing sailboats and the Earth is actually moving away from the dwarf star through this period, which is causing the earth change symptoms to stabilize. Earth reached outside orbit position yesterday on May 28, 2011, which means this object appeared to stop moving left to right in the night sky to appear motionless for a three day period, to then begin trekking back to the left until 9/11/2011; when this object reaches perigee position nearest the Sun. This object is currently hovering just to the lower left of 44 Leo and Dr. Glenn was able to zoom in on the area of our dwarf star to realize he was looking at a monster of great size. We cannot see the actual dwarf star, but now he can make out the dark area and the dancing stars in the background created by the gravitational lensing effect.
Dr. Glenn zoomed in closer to begin seeing the red planetary object that many are calling Planet X moving out of the proton cloud at 3 o'clock position with smaller white moon-like satellites moving out of the cloud at 7 and 9 o'clock respectively. My good friend Envylife904 who owns our research group forum and I listened to Dr. Glenn-the leader of our Ozark Survival Group-give us a long-winded speech about what he saw in the telescope and we heard the same exact terms shared by astrolpatriot from our original research group who also captured images of this thing. I have known the good doctor for some time, but this is the first time I ever heard sheer fear coming from his voice like he has literally seen a monster of biblical proportions. Once Dr. Glenn emptied himself of the experience to Envy and myself, then he was unable to address our group and literally collapsed and had to go offline. The short of a very long story is that we are truly living in one of those ELE Extinction-Level Event Movies, but this is for real and I am 100 percent positive; which you guys may have figured out since last February. This thing is going to start coming nearer to the Earth after the Sun/ELE/Saturn alignment around July 6-7, 2011. The star reaches Earth orbit around Aug. 1st and Venus orbit on Aug. 18 and Mercury orbit around September 1, 2011 at which point this thing could become visible as a second sun just to the left of our Sun. The earthquakes, volcanoes, rogue tides, mass animal deaths and the whole 9 yards are going to escalate out of control in August and September for the crap to hit the fan for sure sometime in September.
I have been planning to head for the hills again around August 1, 2011, just before the serious escalation of these events take place. However, it looks like our research group is going to receive a series of photographs that clearly show this thing and its orbitals for release to the public through the media. If everyone were to wake the hell up to what is coming right now, then we would have panic and pandemonium in the streets leading to complete collapse of society leading to utter chaos and mayhem. Therefore, I can very well be writing you shortly with information that our survival group bugout plans and been moved up from August 1st to the beginning of July, because our own efforts to wake people up could threaten our overarching survival strategy and plans. There is a lot of information in the videos/link below to help you wake up and realize we are in a lot of trouble here in Florida. The safest place in the USA to be when the crap hits the fan is the Ozarks in western Missouri and Arkansas. That is where our survival group already has secured cavern positions. We are talking about doctors, engineers, military special forces personnel and enough trained specialists to man a small hospital. I am doing my best to wake the family up to what is happening, but at some point you guys must look everything over and do some waking up yourselves. My plans are to begin wrapping things up here and Florida at the end of June to begin heading towards Mom's house and then up north into the mountains again sometime in early July. Then to head over to the Ozark/Missouri cavern location around the start of August.
All of you have a place with me at the Ozark cavern location, but you must have sufficient food and supplies listed in the Survival Video and link for a six month period.
Take care,
Terral

A CATHOLIC FOREBODING FROM 2008 DESCRIBING ELENIN'S ACTIONS
THIS IS FROM SOME TIME AGO - BEFORE ELENIN WAS ANNOUNCED (THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT AND HAVE BEEN PREPARING FOR DECADES).
FASCINATING STUFF!! I THINK THIS MAY BE A GRAND SLAM HOME RUN, PROPHETICALLY SPEAKING.

My dear little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, thank you for coming to pray. Know how much God loves you. He has given you tremendous gifts.
Children, for the last 20 years I have oftentimes spoken of “change.” I have told you that there is no time for fear; there is only time for change. You must know by now that I have recently spoken of an arising of “two suns.” When you see the two suns on the horizon, you must know that this is a time of change, a time of this new beginning about which I have spoken to you before. After you see the two suns, there is only a short time before you will see a tremendous change in weather. After this, as you know, there are more changes to come.
Children, God did not create only the Earth. God is the Creator of the cosmos, with its many galaxies, many orbits, different stars and different planets. God is the Creator! There are other planets like earth, far beyond your understanding.
Prayer is the answer! Prayer can mitigate much of anything to come. Love and unity must be at the forefront, not survival of the fittest. But I can assure you that secretly those in governmental positions around the world and Church authorities all know. As your Mother and with you as children of God, it is my duty to forewarn you and to draw you to my Son for protection.
Look not too far before you will see two suns (WE HAVE HAD TWO SUNS APPEAR LOW IN THE SKIES OF JAPAN - LINKS LATER). Make my words known to all people: Life is important because God loves you. Those who are in control of the financial world think differently. But I your Mother know what true Life is!
So prepare, spiritually prepare. You will always be with my Son if you trust. God has a special plan, a new beginning! Look to Him; and do not fear, but love with all your heart.
I look to you, and I answer your prayers. Even if you are a sinner, and even if you were wrong, I come for your intercession. Now you must remove your “self” from your desires and look to help all people.

I can tell you this: Even your governments and the Church authorities already have knowledge of the stars aligning and its implications upon you. You must not fear but must be prepared, primarily spiritually.
After awhile, you will see a time when there is another body in orbit around your solar system, coming between Earth and the Sun and leading to tremendous devastation. Approximately 60-70% of the world’s population, as you know it, will cease. Of those who survive, 60% of them could die of disease and starvation.

THE CASCADIA SUBDUCTION ZONE
I am really putting myself out there by letting a few co-workers and people at church know where I am at right now with this whole Elenin thing. I am sure I am already labeled a kook - so bring on the derision..... It wouldn't be the first time that label has been applied - nor the first time I have been completely right down to the letter. You just have to have confidence and drive on. I had to do it in high school while my friends were getting perpetually drunk and engaging in immoral behavior while deriding my silently chosen course of action to maintain values and grades, etc. The most poignant one was when one of my detractors came up to me at graduation (drunk, of course) after I had been honored as the valedictorian and told me he wished he had taken the hard road I had taken and used his time better. All you can do is pity people.... truly sad, but everyone has their moral agency.
Anyway, there is one co-worker who is thoughtful and gentle-natured, who, other than a little bad language, I have always thought would make a great bishop. He has raised his kids every bit as good as I would like to raise mine - all without the aid of religious dogma (his parents are raging athiests and former hippies who hate the God-given principles this country was founded on and all that is good and right and who will be swept). I was delighted to learn that this co-worker's oldest son has been spontaneously attracted to beautiful, clean ladies at the local LDS singles wards in Bremerton and is investigating the gospel because of their good example. He mentioned that to me and I shared my concerns about all this with him. They are fliers and I mentioned that the Cessna may be the best or only way to navigate what is coming when the roads are broken up - as long as there is av fuel and some runways are intact. After I gave him the spiel and we talked about the volcanic after-effects, he got pretty freaked out and said that he has a recurring dream where he is trapped in his (collapsed?) house in the crawlspace with his family and they are choking on the ash and asphyxiating over the poisonous gas. I didn't want to sound like the millennial dooms-dayer that I really am.... but I passed on the information to him in the hopes it might help save a guy and his family who already have planted the seeds of greatness in themselves and may not even know it yet.
So with that introduction, here is a great link for some info on the Cascadia subduction zone (click link). This thing could let a real ripper loose....
Remember, the first one that occurs on the next Elenin alignment will trash the PNW (M12.5) which will have an effect of a survivable one in Utah on the Wasatch front due to the raw energy that is transmitted from the big one on Cascadia (this will be similar to the effect that the New Madrid EQs of 1811/1812 (click link) had on ringing church bells 1200 miles away on the east coast - alot of energy transmitted). That M5.5 to M7.0 event will be a warning to Utah that the BIG ONE is imminent in three short weeks. That one will be as deadly to the people of Utah as the Cascadia EQ will be to the people people of the PNW. So, it will be a merciful situation for the people of Utah who get the information and heed it.

THE AMANDA WILCOX STORY - A BODING FOR OUR FUTURE
Amanda Wilcox Story
Prophecy of Heber C Kimball in 1868 about Salt Lake City and the future. Over 130 years ago.
This in part is what Sister Wilcox had to say: During the latter part of May, 1868, President Heber C Kimball and I were standing in front of his place, on North Main. After a few moments conversation he turned to me and said, "Now, Sister Amanda, I am going to tell you something." Looking south, he observed, "What do you see?" I told him that I did not know any of the places on Main street except Brother Wells', Bishop Hunter's, William Jennings', Walker Brothers' and the Tithing Office. He then remarked, "I will begin with Brother Wells' place. It will be torn down and a six-story building will be erected on that corner. (Templeton Building) All of the houses south of that place will be removed to make room for buildings that will average from three to six stories high.
"Now we will come back from Fourth South to the Council House corner. Here a large fire proof building will be erected with an addition to it on the west. (Union Pacific Building and Annex.) Where the Tithing Office now stands will be constructed a building that will be a credit and honor to the inhabitants of this whole intermountain region. (Hotel Utah) The land around the Temple block will be owned by the Saints and this will become a City of beautiful buildings.
"Next comes the Temple. What do you expect to see there?" I told him that I expected to see the Savior, Joseph, Hyrum and others. He said, "Have you seen the Temple picture?" I said that I had not. He then put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Now look." "Oh, how white and beautiful," I exclaimed. He then removed his hand and the vision was gone. He then asked me if I knew where the Prophets Joseph and Hyrum were. I told him that I knew, and he said, "This must be kept a secret."
He told me that the trial of the Saints would be hard to bear until the square of the Temple was reached. Before that time, however, our brethren would be imprisoned (for polygamy) until the penitentiary should be full, and some of them would be removed to other places. Mothers would weep for their husbands, and children would cry for their fathers. Some would die, and sorrow would fill the hearts of every Latter-day Saint." (The condition during the persecution of Polygamy days.)
Continuing, he said: "When the Temple roof is on, it will be somewhat better, but when the building is completed the Evil One will be shut out.
The prayers of the Saints will be heard, and the sick will be taken there to be healed. The Spirit of God will rest upon his people and work for the dead will be continued night and day. (first Night shift, Friday February 3, 1922) You will attend the dedicatory services on the third day, and if you will come to this very spot after the meeting is dismissed, you will hear a mighty voice cry out .'All is well."
I attended the services on the third day, and went to the designated spot, and heard the voice, as he said I would repeated three times.
He then went on to say, "An army of elders will be sent forth to the four quarters of the earth to search for the righteous and warn the wicked of what is coming. All kinds of religions will be started and miracles performed that will deceive the very elect if such a thing were possible. Our sons and daughters must live pure lives so as to be prepared for what is coming.
"After a while the Gentiles will gather to this place by the thousands, and Salt Lake will be classed among the wicked cities of the world. A Spirit of speculation and extravagance will take possession of the Saints, and the result will be financial bondage.
"Persecution comes next, and all true Latter-day Saints will be tested to the limit. Many will apostatize, and others will stand still, not knowing what to do. "Darkness will cover the earth and gross darkness the minds of the people."
"The judgements of God will be poured out upon the wicked to the extent that our elders from far and near will be called home. Or in other words, the gospel will be taken from the Gentiles and later on will be carried to the Jews.
"The western boundaries of the state of Missouri will be swept so clean of its inhabitants that, as President (Brigham) Young tells us, when we return to that place, "There will not be left so much as a yellow dog to wag his tail."
"BEFORE that day comes , however, the Saints will be put to a test that will try the integrity of the best of them. The pressure will become so great that the more righteous among them will cry unto the Lord day and night until deliverance comes. (Do you cry?)
"Then the Prophet Joseph and others will make their appearance and those who have remained faithful will be selected to return to Jackson county, Missouri, (after the state is swept clean) and take part in the upbuilding of that beautiful city, the new Jerusalem."
Sister Wilcox closed her narrative with the following statement: "As soon as I reached home, I made a record of what Brother Kimball had told me, as I knew that every word of it would come true. I did not see him again until the next Sunday. After meeting he bade me good-bye, and that was the last time I ever saw him."

GOD'S CREATIONS - THE EXALTING OF WORLDS
I THOUGHT THIS WAS WORTH SHARING - A PERSPECTIVE OF THE MAKEUP OF OUR GALAXY:
Celestial worlds(Elenin) of Heavenly Father, and indeed the total kingdom, are in the glorious hub, or central region of the Milky Way Galaxy. The radiations of God's light, which proceed forth from His presence to fill the immensity of space are filtered through veils of interstellar dust, which block our mortal view of the celestial kingdom. whenever you penetrate this veil, you are within the fiery environment of the celestial kingdom.
While the number of God's creations is beyond the ability of man to count, each one is know unto God. These creations are of finite number at any instant in time and consist of about 150 billion starts, plus their associated plants as presently exist in the MWG.
The terrestrail and telestial kingdoms are located in successive concentric, doughnut-shaped rings, round about the celestial kingdom or central hub of the galaxy, that our sun and earth are now located in the outer or telestial ring of the MWG.
Outer Darkness, the place of Stan's final banishment with the sons of perdition, is beyond the reaches of the MWG, where there is no light or heat, no sun or stars.
Our planet earth was first formed in obit of Kolob in the celestial core of the galaxy.. It migrated out through the terrestrial ring (the Garden of Eden period), and took up its present position, in an orbit of the sun, for its mortal, telestial probation. The earth will return by being pulled away from the sun, passing again through the trresteial ring ( the millennial period), and finally regaining its original orbit about Kolob in the celestial kingdom.
Heavenly Father has many other worlds which follow the same pattern as earth and now exist in one of several stages of this progression, that many are now in their mortal period and are peopled with beings who look, act, and associate together as we do, for they also, as we, are children of God.
There must exist a speed of transportation of heavenly beings. faster than the speed of light, a speed such as the speed of thought.
God has a system of time---a clock, shall we say, similar to ours but ticking more slowly, in ratio as one is to 365,000. Earth time is experienced only during the telestial probation of the earth. In addition, a terrestral Clock must exist to measure the Garden of Eden and the Millennium Periods.
Things on earth are patterned after, or even descended from, heavenly originals, and we can understand heaven in part by studying this earth. God himself lives in a real place composed of actual materials on a crystal sphere---a great Urim and Thummim.
Faithful children of God who follow His celestial laws will have the opportunity, after their resurrection and exaltation in the celestial kingdom, to form new galaxies and Kolobs--each with a new hub with suns and worlds as places of residence for their own countless spirit offsprings giving rise to new generation of gods.
The unnumbered billions of external galaxies beyond our MW are not the creations of God, but each has its own deity, its own celestial kingdom in its fiery core, with terrestrial and telestial kingdoms round about. Perhaps galaxies, in turn, cluster and revolve about ever higher centers

Things on earth are patterned after, or even descended from, heavenly originals, and we can understand heaven in part by studying this earth. God himself lives in a real place composed of actual materials on a crystal sphere---a great Urim and Thummim.
Faithful children of God who follow His celestial laws will have the opportunity, after their resurrection and exaltation in the celestial kingdom, to form new galaxies and Kolobs--each with a new hub with suns and worlds as places of residence for their own countless spirit offsprings giving rise to new generation of gods.
The unnumbered billions of external galaxies beyond our MW are not the creations of God, but each has its own deity, its own celestial kingdom in its fiery core, with terrestrial and telestial kingdoms round about. Perhaps galaxies, in turn, cluster and revolve about ever higher centers

THE SIGN OF THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN - JOSEPH SMITH
Great quote that may apply to Elenin:
"Judah must return, Jerusalem must be rebuilt, and the temple, and water come out from under the temple, and the waters of the Dead Sea be healed. It will take some time to rebuild the walls of the city and the temple, Etc.; and all this must be done before the Son of Man will make his appearance. 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, which will be as the light of the morning cometh out of the east."
~HC, J SMITH 5:337

MIRACLES SHOWING IMPENDING DOOM ON TEMPLE MOUNT BEFORE ABOMINATION ON TEMPLE MOUNT
Wow, this is off the charts cool stuff about what transpired the "generation" directly preceding the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple that Jesus prophesied while he was still alive:
CLICK LINK
Remember, according to Josephus, it took two weeks for the stones to cool before the Roman soldiers could pry the temple apart to remove the gold leaf that had formed between the stones after it melted and dripped from ceiling relief panels. That destruction came 40 years almost to the day that Jesus uttered the decree.
So going back to the article above, sometimes, when it all begins to line up, it is time for us to pay attention - because God is not messing around.
Which brings me to a comment by a reader that I need to answer. Her question was basically, how come we have not heard about this from the top. The answer will be complex and may not sound very good.
There three or four possible reasons that I will go over here: TBC - please check back...

THE COMING OF ELENIN AND JEWISH HOLY DAYS
The Later Harvest
The Lord set forth another series of holy days for the seventh month, coinciding with the later, or autumn, harvest. They are (1) the Feast of Trumpets, (2) the Day of Atonement, and (3) the Feast of Tabernacles. These holy days also held prophetic significance, for they have an important relationship to the Lord’s spiritual gleaning in the latter days. 4
This article will focus on the Feast of Trumpets. It is important to note that on 22 September 1827, the very day Israel celebrated the Feast of Trumpets, 5 Moroni gave the golden plates to the Prophet Joseph Smith. Since this feast was ripe with meaning for the theme of the regathering of Israel, it is unlikely this timing was accidental. Indeed, young Joseph was asked to meet Moroni for four years in preparation for that significant day in 1827.
Latter-day Saints can find it especially instructive to study some of the meanings Jewish scholars have attributed to the Feast of Trumpets. It signifies (1) the beginning of Israel’s final harvest, (2) the day God had set to remember His ancient promises to regather Israel, (3) a time for new revelation that would lead to a new covenant with Israel, and (4) a time to prepare for the Millennium.
The Beginning of the Final Harvest
The Lord commanded Israel, “In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets” (Lev. 23:24). Because this festival was set for the first day of the seventh month of the Judaic calendar (usually falling in our September), the day was timed for the gathering of the vital oil and wine. Thus this festival initiated the fall season and the great and final time of “ingathering.” 6
Many Jewish scholars have taught that the final spiritual gathering of Israel would begin with the Feast of Trumpets. 7 As Elder Bruce R. McConkie (1915–85) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles stated, “The completion of the full harvest … will not be completed until that millennial day when ‘the Lord shall be king over all the earth’ [Zech. 14:9].” 8
It is noteworthy that the word of the Lord to Latter-day Saints is full of harvest imagery: “For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not” (D&C 4:4). As modern prophets have said, the Book of Mormon is the major instrument the Lord prepared to initiate His final harvest. 9 Therefore, it is significant that the golden plates were received on 22 September 1827, coinciding with the beginning of Israel’s fall garnering and symbolizing the onset of its final harvest of souls.
The Day God Remembers His Promises
The Hebrew name used today for the Feast of Trumpets is Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year. But this was not its original name, though the day does signify a new beginning. One of its original names was the Day of Remembrance. This name arose because the Lord commanded Israel to blow trumpets on this day for remembrance.
According to tradition, it was on this day that the Israelites were remembered and freed from slavery in Egypt, prior to the completed Exodus. 10 Also, it was on this day that the Lord remembered Israel and granted them spiritual renewal after their return from captivity in Babylon. For it was on the first day of the seventh month that Ezra read from the book of the law, and the people rejoiced because he “gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading” (see Neh. 8:1–12).
As a result of their banishment, the Jews had lost many of the Lord’s truths, which they were now hearing again in clarity. Their spiritual remembering and renewal led to the making of new covenants (see Neh. 9:38; Neh. 10). Their escape from Babylonian bondage was a foreshadowing of our modern-day escape from worldly Babylon. 11 In our time, the Book of Mormon has been a major factor in leading millions of people away from worldly falsehoods and back to spiritual truths.
Many Judaic writers teach that the major theme of the Feast of Trumpets is remembrance: God’s remembrance of His covenants with Israel and the need for Israel to remember their God. 12 The prayers of the day plead for this remembrance. They ask God to remember His covenants with the ancient patriarchs that He would regather His people.
The Jewish scriptures that are read on this day promise such remembrance and speak of the trumpet as signaling it. For example, Isaiah 27:13 [Isa. 27:13] says: “And it shall come to pass in that day [the time of regathering], that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt.”
Another example is Zechariah 9:14 [Zech. 9:14]: “And the Lord God shall blow the trumpet,” which accompanies pronouncements that Ephraim would help raise up God’s covenant people (see Zech. 9:13) and that those of Israel’s blood would again become His flock (see Zech. 9:16).
These and other scriptural connections are sufficiently strong that throughout the centuries various Jewish writers, in explaining the purpose of the trumpets’ sound on the Feast of Trumpets, have taught that this day would eventually signal Israel’s return from worldwide scattering. 13
Also read during this feast are scriptures telling of biblical women becoming fruitful after barrenness. In fact, Jewish tradition is that God fulfilled His promises to Rachel, Hannah, and Sarah on this special day. 14 The overtones of these events are impressive. For after Rachel was remembered, she was blessed with Joseph, from whom came Ephraim and Manasseh. From Hannah’s barrenness came the boy prophet Samuel and a return to righteous priesthood.
For these and other reasons, this day has been seen by some Jewish writers as the day when God would eventually move from His seat of judgment concerning Israel and sit instead upon the seat of mercy. 15 Thus, layer upon layer this holy day symbolizes the new beginning Israel would experience as God has mercy upon them in their exile, remembers His covenants with their fathers, and begins to restore them as His people. As a result, their barrenness would be removed, and they would become again a fruitful tree (see 1 Ne. 10:14).
This anticipated new beginning was to be initiated with the sounding of the trumpet (a shofar, or ram’s horn, is still used in modern practice). One Jewish commentator has said, “Expectantly, we await the sounding of the [Trumpet] of Liberation, when Zion will be free to receive its exiled children from all parts of the earth.” 16
On 22 September 1827, Israel’s trumpets sounded throughout the world; it was the day the Prophet Joseph Smith received the golden plates, which would help fulfill God’s promise to remember Israel in the latter days.
A Time for New Revelation Leading to a New Covenant
The blowing of the trumpet is the major ritual of the Feast of Trumpets. Because the first mention of the trumpet is at Mount Sinai, these instruments are seen by Jewish writers as a symbol of revelation (see Ex. 19:16, 19). The trumpet sound is therefore understood by them as a memorial of the revelation and covenant given on Mount Sinai. Yet Rosh Hashanah’s trumpet blasts have been accepted by many Jews not just as a memorial of the ancient covenant revealed at Sinai but as a prelude to a new and future covenant to be revealed, one that would result in Israel’s ultimate redemption. 17 The day’s ritual includes a prayer regarding revelation named “Trumpets.”
The day’s services also include petitions to God to rebuild His temple—the place where covenants are made—as He promised. 18 The sound of the trumpets, which occurred in this religious service in 1827, did indeed precede new revelation that has led to the making of new covenants in new temples with an Israel now being regathered.
A Time to Prepare for the Millennium
Part of the significance of the Feast of Trumpets lies in its relation to the other holy days connected to Israel’s last harvest. To begin with, the placement of this whole series of holy days in the seventh month of Israel’s calendar brings special meaning, in that the seventh period of a month, year, or so forth, is generally considered holy and symbolic of completion and fulfillment.
So significant are these three days—the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot)—that together they are called by Jews the High Holy Days and the Days of Awe.
The placement of the Feast of Trumpets as the first in the set shows its importance in the preparation for the significant days ahead. Indeed, the very nature of the signals that the trumpet makes show the need for repentance as an essential part of this preparation. First, the rabbis teach, God offers hope, symbolically demonstrated by a long, lengthy note. Then man’s weeping for his transgressions with a desire to forsake them is manifested by a series of short notes. Finally, God’s forgiveness to those truly repentant is represented by another long note. What beautiful symbolism for us to be aware of!
Established prayers on this day urge repentance for the coming reign of the Messiah. And some teach that God will establish judgment of “who shall live and who shall die; … who shall be cast down and who elevated.” 19 This judgment is based, of course, upon who is truly repentant and who continues to be worthy. It is believed that the ultimate judgment is not “sealed” upon one until the Day of Atonement.
The space between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement can signify the time one has left to repent. Thus the trumpet of the Feast of Trumpets sounds a final warning: time is crucial for returning to God and to righteousness. 20
Judaic scholars teach that the Day of Atonement represents the time when the unrepentant are doomed, whereas at that time the repentant are forgiven and reconciled to God. Worshipers believe that on this day they spiritually enter the Holy of Holies, which is symbolic of entering into God’s presence. This time is represented as providing them with their “highest and deepest communion with God.” 21
For Latter-day Saints who understand the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, a study of the relationship between these holy days verifies what prophets and scriptures teach about what will occur in the last days. While Christ performed the great act of Atonement in His mortal life, His work is not yet complete. His return will further fulfill reconciliation between Him and mankind, serving as a time of At-one-ment, a time repentant individuals can physically enter His presence.
For Jews, because Israel’s last three holy days signify something momentous to come, the period between the Feast of Trumpets and the Feast of Tabernacles is called the Days of Awe. We have already noted that the Feast of Tabernacles signifies a completed harvest, Christ’s millennial reign. As we anticipate further fulfillment of all the works of the Lord, Latter-day Saints know that they truly will be Days of Awe.
Was the coming forth of the Book of Mormon on the Feast of Trumpets coincidental? Latter-day Saints who know about these events do not think so. Scriptural and prophetic truth is often manifest through fulfillment. The golden plates were delivered to the young Prophet Joseph Smith early in the morning of 22 September 1827. The Feast of Trumpets, with prayers pleading for God’s remembrance of his still-exiled people, had begun at sundown the previous evening. The services continued that morning, with a worldwide sounding of the ram’s horn. Unbeknown to Judah, all that those horns represented was now to be fulfilled. For on that day, God remembered His people and set in motion His plan to regather them. On that day, God’s final harvest began. On that day, new revelation was granted which would bring a return to renewed covenants. From that day onward, Israel would be called to repentance in preparation for Christ’s return and reign. The Book of Mormon exists to serve these ends. Today, Moroni’s image trumpets from temple spires around the world a final call to awaken, repent, and prepare.
For Latter-day Saints, knowing this is the final harvest with an ever-shortening time to labor should further motivate us to thrust in our sickles with our might. In that spirit, as we feel joy in that harvest we should make known the marvelous work that the Lord has brought forth in these latter days (see D&C 65:4).
The Lord set forth another series of holy days for the seventh month, coinciding with the later, or autumn, harvest. They are (1) the Feast of Trumpets, (2) the Day of Atonement, and (3) the Feast of Tabernacles. These holy days also held prophetic significance, for they have an important relationship to the Lord’s spiritual gleaning in the latter days. 4
