In the previous post we discussed Ezra Taft Benson’s comments regarding the wicked gentiles attempt to “overthrow liberty and the constitution” and the “doom” that it would bring upon them… as a refresher we repeat the quote, said he:
“But on the other hand, if the gentiles on this land reject the word of God and conspire to overthrow liberty and the Constitution, then their doom is fixed, and they “. . . shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant”. (1 Nephi 14:6; 3 Nephi 21:11, 14, 21; D&C 84:114-115, 117)
“The great destructive force which was to be turned loose on the earth and which the prophets for centuries have been calling the “abomination of desolation” is vividly described by those who saw it in vision. Ours is the first generation to realize how literally these prophecies can be fulfilled now that God, through science, has unlocked the secret to thermonuclear reaction. (Oct. general conference, 1961)
In light of the above quote, it’s not difficult to see that we are presently setting on a precipice and the only questions remaining to asked are… exactly how close are we and is there really any way to know when?
My answers is very and yes…
The reason I’m able to say yes is because the very same set of circumstances that
Elder Benson describes above is what John and Daniel saw in vision, they saw that the wicked gentiles would make war on the saints and on all nations and they both tell us that it would go on for 42 months… we read from Rev 13:
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Ezra Taft Benson explained that this situations would bring “doom” on the wicked gentiles and that they “shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant” and suggested that it would come via “thermonuclear reaction”, which is to say that it will come by means or warfare, right?
John says that the beast (wicked gentiles) would be permitted to “continue forty and two months” and would “make war on the saints, and overcome them” and that ultimately “he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword”, and so the beast goes down via warfare!
Now, if you can’t see that the present administration is waging war on America, and on hard working, constitutional minded, freedom loving folks who predominantly subscribe to the Christian faith… you just might have your head in the sand. But on the other hand, if you can grasp the obvious, it’s not hard to see that this government approved persecution of citizens got it’s start with the inauguration of this administration or Jan 20, 2021.
And having a starting date, it’s a rather simple thing to add 42 months or 1260 days to calculate when the 42 months will end, right?
Elder Benson explains that the “doom” of the gentiles is the “abomination of desolation” and JST Matt. 32-33, 36 explains that “the Son of Man” will come “immediately after the tribulation of those days”…
Daniel also shows us the same relationship between the 42 months and the coming millennial kingdom, from chapter 7 we read:
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26 But the judgment shall sit, (At Adam Ondi Ahman where the Son of Man receives the kingdom) and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
And so it’s quite apparent that this sequence, which we are already about half way through will soon lead us to the cleansing of America and “the greatest manifestations of the Savior’s power that the world has ever seen.” (Russell M. Nelson, Oct. 2, 2022)
The dividing of the Red Sea will pale when compared to what we are about to witness!
