THE SIGN OF THE COMING OF THE SON (SUN) OF MAN

This is quite interesting, considering Joseph Smith talked about this sign of Jesus' imminent coming being one of two comets or planets coming together.  Stars may be on the spectrum of possibilities, given that Joseph was trying to put into words what he saw in the heavens.  Something bright, no doubt. 

This coming together will happen in 2022 (they calculate).  Right before the 7 yr period of the twin eclipses comes to a close:

A phenomenon would be something like, say, a young star igniting for the first time, a couple stars colliding, something like that. Actually, the latter is anticipated to be witnessed in the year 2022 ( [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] ), though this is a northern hemisphere star and if the merger had already happened prematurely (well really it happened well over a thousand years ago but the light is just now about to reach us, etc) I doubt they could keep it under wraps even for a few days.

INTERESTING - CHRIST STARTED HIS MINISTRY ON FEAST OF TABERNACLES

Only someone versed in Jewish traditions and festivals would have picked up on the subtleties of the wording in Luke - CLEARLY  a reference to Succoth/booths.  This was after He received the keys of the ministry AND after He could start the clock ticking down to the final event on the Feast of Firstfruits (of them that slept, per the Book of Mormon - on Resurrection morning).  In an analgous manner,  I wonder if Him coming to AoA to again receive the keys to ministry on the earth again (this time, in the Spring), followed by a 1260 day period ending at the fall Wedding Feast (where the Bridegroom comes), would be a nice fit.  Just conjecture - but most things have pattern:

8 days after the start of the Feast of Tabernacles is Shimini Atzeret.

The two witnesses are Elijah and Moses.

This is the only reference in the Bible that describes the two witness together which is during the Transfiguration of Jesus. It is thought that after the transfiguration, Jesus started his 3 1/2 year or 1260 day ministry before his death on Passover.

In Revelation 11, it describes the two witnesses prophesying for 1260 days just like Jesus.

(Luke 9:28-36)

"About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. "

It says above, "let us put up three shelters" That is a clue there that is shows it was during the time of the Feast of Tabernacles too!

"Sukkot & the Transfiguration
Tuesday night we read Matthew 17 and began a discussion of the Transfiguration. This week is the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles (or Booths), called Sukkot (meaning tabernacles or booths) in Hebrew terminology. Because of the timing, we spent our time talking about "the Feast," in part because of the strange comment by Peter on that "high mountain" when he saw Jesus, in transfigured glory, and Moses and Elijah talking together.

"Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." (v. 5)"

Shimini Atzeret or the 8th day of the Feast of Tabernacles is Oct. 11th/12th this year!

TOMORROW - THE 100 YEAR ANNO OF THE SECRET OF FATIMA

And on Friday the 13th, no less.... :)  I might add that we are in the final few days (have not looked it up) of the Jewish (ecclesiastical) year/fall festival cycle.  And, of course, we are still in 2017.

Here is a little more on what will happen in the third portion of that prophecy (or whatever you may want to call it - not sure under whose influence it came):

In a 1980 interview for the German magazine Stimme des Glaubens published in October 1981, John Paul II was asked explicitly to speak about the third secret. He said:
Because of the seriousness of its contents, in order not to encourage the world wide power of Communism to carry out certain coups, my predecessors in the chair of Peter have diplomatically preferred to withhold its publication. On the other hand, it should be sufficient for all Christians to know this much: if there is a message in which it is said that the oceans will flood entire sections of the earth; that, from one moment to the other, millions of people will perish... there is no longer any point in really wanting to publish this secret message. Many want to know merely out of curiosity, or because of their taste for sensationalism, but they forget that 'to know' implies for them a responsibility. It is dangerous to want to satisfy one's curiosity only, if one is convinced that we can do nothing against a catastrophe that has been predicted." He held up his rosary and stated "Here is the remedy against this evil. Pray, pray and ask for nothing else. Put everything in the hands of the Mother of God." Asked what would happen in the Church, he said: "We must be prepared to undergo great trials in the not-too-distant future; trials that will require us to be ready to give up even our lives, and a total gift of self to Christ and for Christ.

QUICK RELEASE BATTERY TERMINALS - A GOOD PREPPING ITEM

Here is something that may come in handy with KJU from the DPRK running around on the loose:



I am having to replace batteries on a bunch of my equipment that are 5 years or older.  I came to the conclusion that, instead of having to park equipment where you can plug in a trickle charger over the winter or times of mis-use, I will just keep a battery or several good quality batteries on my state of the art charger on my workbench at the ready.  Any time I need to use a piece of seldom-used equipment, I grab my battery with the handle that is fully charged and go throw it in the equipment and I am off to the races.  This way, I have only one battery - maybe two - to keep track of state of charge on.

Because lead acid batts can leak, I have gone with the more expensive AGM (Absorbed Glass Matt) that have little or no electrolyte that can off-gas, etc.  I get mine at Costco for about $150 each and they have about double the life of the others (which pays for the increased cost).  Another HUGE problem that is eliminated in my northern clime is the problem of freezing.  At super extreme temperatures, the HCl electrolyte can freeze in the old battery tech.  Not so much in the AGM batts.

So, with this system, you can leave your batteries out of the critical equipment - which leaves an open circuit and makes it virtually impervious to the effects of EMP, and with your quick disconnect battery terminals, you can shuttle a single battery around to take care of starting and charging needs without having to bring a wrench.

Perfect....  Now that AGMs are at half the cost of what they were just a few years ago, this is the time to make the switch and go for it.

I would not have known about these terminals, had I not stopped to chat with a family on the Victoria, BC ferry dock whose hybrid Escalade was on the blink due to leaving the interior lights on for hours while waiting in line for the ferry.  I have been inside out and round around on battery tech and I had never bumped into these things, until I was fishing around under the hood with another mechanic and came across them.  Line upon line, we will get there.

A LITTLE ON CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS...... HE WAS NOT THE ANIMAL THE LEFTIES TELL YOU HE WAS

BLACK DEATH ON THE RISE??

Wow this is interesting:

The WHO, which has been working alongside Madagascar’s Ministry of Health, confirmed more than 231 people had been infected with the contagious plague and officials have warned the risk of the epidemic spreading is “high”.
More than 50 million people in Europe were killed by the Black Death in the 1300s, which many historians believe was caused by several killer diseases including the pneumonic plague.
Eastern and central Madagascar have been worst hit by the outbreak, sparking emergency funding from the WHO.

http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/863960/plague-outbreak-madagascar-bubonic-pneumonic-world-health-organisation-WHO 

This right after talking to a woman from our ward who was led by vision to come from Quebec to Cardston.  She has been studying about the plague and herbal remedies.  She says we will need this information - how to use yarrow, etc.

Her accent makes it a little difficult to understand her, but I believe she talked about a visit by the Savior to the camps here outside of Cardston.  I asked her to say a closing prayer on the evening and I can say that she talks to God in a pure and simple way.  Her conversion story is amazing - she has truly been led to this point in her life.  I want that gal on my team.....  and many other amazing people here in Cardston.  They are part of God's dream team.

Sadly, there will still be a purging of many in Cardston and the surrounding areas.  There is no perfect place on the face of the land.  When the Savior asked, "Will faith be found amongst the people in that day?", it was not an empty question.  Here it is in context:

7 And shall not God ^aavenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with ^bthem?
8 ^aI tell you that he will ^bavenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Few there be that find the way that leads to eternal life.....  I have to wonder how meager the harvest will be from some of the statements found in the scriptures.

DEFINITION OF BEING VALIANT IN THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS

To be valiant in the testimony of Jesus is to take the Lord’s side on every issue. It is to vote as he would vote. It is to think what he thinks, to believe what he believes, to say what he would say and do what he would do in the same situation. It is to have the mind of Christ and be one with him as he is one with his Father.--Bruce R. McConkie

SOME THINGS COMING TO A HEAD RIGHT NOW

Well, there are a few things that seem to be piling up right now, that have me concerned.  Whether they coalesce into something that is legitimate, we shall see:

First, there is a bubble developing in the markets, per this Drudge article:


The second thing is that Chicago is now spending 60 percent of each and every tax dollar servicing their debt and pension liabilities, per JP Morgan studies.  Cities like Dallas and others are not too far behind.  Can you imagine pulling in 100K and spending 60K of that just paying interest on credit card bills??  Nuts.....

  http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-05/

Bishop Koyle's prophetic utterance talks of collapse in the fall and many other references to a Monday holiday, including a direct reference to Columbus Day.....

Third, there is an article talking of a strike by NK on Columbus Day (Canadian Thanksgiving - this Monday).  I think it regularly occurs on Oct 9th, which just happens to fall on a Monday this year.

Last of all, it is 2017.....  Cue the doom music......

We will see.

MERRY CHRISTMAS - MORE ON THE SHADY HOAX DEBACLE

Wow - this is pure nuts....:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWbk_xKCyME&t=320s

There is a reader who swears by one of the actors on this hoax who is supposedly an upstanding LDS guy.....  Sorry.  People are corrupt.  A lion's share of the folks at the CIA and FBI are LDS.  There are lots of "good LDS" who are in the know and in on the most corrupt power play that makes the old Babylon look like a Sunday picnic down at the Ward building....

It will be doubly egregious in the judgment for those who were at least exposed to good principle - and then refused to act on it.  Part of the reason I left my job at Boeing, was because I had to - in order to maintain some semblance of integrity in that I refused to go along with the merger of the 747 and the 767 engineering programs, knowing that the 767 line was cranking out mostly aerial refueling tankers that are used to expand empire at the expense of many innocent and good people on the earth, who refuse to go along.  Many whose ideology I do not agree with - but who refuse to submit to the beast that the USA has become.

More from a few folks who are willing to stand up to the bs that we call the swamp or the fed gubmint:

THE TRUTH ABOUT GOLD

If you do not believe we are being duped when it comes to real value money, this should open your eyes:

And, yes - the value is bleeding out of western economies and into Russia/China/India.  Veritable BRICs of gold......
