Christendom as a whole, base their expectations on what the bible says about the Lord’s return and so when they see conflicts that involve the Jews and Jerusalem they begin to see that it might not be long before the Messiah will come.

Latter-day Saints on the other hand have a great deal more scripture, along with the words of modern day prophets to base their conclusions on and we also know that the Lord will make his first appearance here in America…  this is something that other Christians have no clue about and so they don’t see events that unfold here in America from the same perspective that we do.

So, as Latter-day Saints we should be paying particular attention to current events that will soon lead to the cleansing of America just before the Lord comes to AOA. Speaking of current events we go to 2 Nephi 10 and read:

11 And this land shall be a land of liberty unto the Gentiles, and there shall be no kings upon the land, who shall raise up unto the Gentiles.

12 And I will fortify this land against all other nations.

13 And he that fighteth against Zion shall perish, saith God.

14 For he that raiseth up a king against me shall perish, for I, the Lord, the king of heaven, will be their king, and I will be a light unto them forever, that hear my words.

15 Wherefore, for this cause, that my covenants may be fulfilled which I have made unto the children of men, that I will do unto them while they are in the flesh, I must needs destroy the secret works of darkness, and of murders, and of abominations.

16 Wherefore, he that fighteth against Zion, both Jew and Gentile, both bond and free, both male and female, shall perish; for they are they who are the whore of all the earth; for they who are not for me are against me, saith our God.

You would have to blind or have your head in the sand not to notice that the wicked Gentiles or the current administration is doing all they can to overthrow freedom and establish a totalitarian state of some kind… something that the Lord apparently knew they would attempt. However, the Lord says above… “he that raiseth up a king against me shall perish” and then he says, “for I, the Lord, the king of heaven, will be their king”.

So, the wicked gentiles are making their attempt to overthrow freedom and raise up a king so to speak RIGHT NOW! It’s on the news every day Latter-Day Saints… open your eyes! However, they won’t succeed because the Lord is about to take them out and replace them… says he, “for I, the Lord, the king of heaven, will be their king, and I will be a light unto them forever, that hear my words.”  If that isn’t the Lord telling us that he’s about to come I don’t know what is… Of this situation Ezra Taft Benson said:

“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)

If you watched the Tucker Carlson’s interview with Putin where he offered to re-start peace negations you know that it’s not Putin that’s prolonging the conflict in Ukraine… it’s the west and the present U.S. administration, these are the guys who are continually upping the anti… and they will no doubt push this conflict to it’s prophesied nuclear conclusion.

So, the wicked gentile’s “doom is fixed” and “ they “. . . shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant”! When this happens and the “abomination of desolation” unfolds here in America… the sequence we have all been waiting for will manifest, from JSM we read:

32 And again shall the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, be fulfilled.

33 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken…

36 And, as I said before, after the tribulation of those days, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken, then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory;

37 And whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived, for the Son of Man shall come, and he shall send his angels before him with the great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together the remainder of his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

It’s worth noting that when the Lord sends his angels to gather his elect they will still be scattered among all the nations of the earth just like we are now… no sign here that we will have already built the earthly New Jerusalem, is there?

Also, the gospel will only go to the heathen nations after the Lord appears to the Jews according to D&C 45:54 and so we need not think that the gospel has to go to all the world before the Lord makes his first appearance to his elect here in America.

These events, including the second coming are not ten year or five years or two years away… they are upon us now! When the prophesied nuclear abomination of desolation is poured out upon America in the months ahead the Lord will come with the heavenly New Jerusalem (See Rev 21:2-3) and rescue the elect… are you wise, can you feel it, are you ready?
