All good points.
Regardong trying to line things up with prophecy in old scripture I learned hard that I just don't have enough information to know specifics. That said, the prophecy in 2nd Esdras has been incredibly accurate in claiming how many short feathers (elected 4 year term) & how many long feathers (elected 8 year term) along with JFK being the middle of it & Roosevelt being elected to 8 [edit: meant 16] & no others would serve that long again. I could certainly be wrong & time will tell soon if I am. What gives me hope is that once this is all done (ie the self destruction of the government as I read it) that a young lion (which I could see the MAGA movement being, or maybe some other individual who is a descendant or Judah, or some other lion representation) is supposed to chase the beast off & restore this land.
It might be some other thing, & I am not tied to this being correct with faith hanging on it. I use these boards & what I have seen with the general MAGA/GAW movement in supporter's fourms [edit: was forms] lining up with this end time prophecy.
That said, I am an odd duck that isn't convinced the Anti-Christ is specifically evil, though they they likely are. As I understand it, in Greek the word for Anti means placeholder, similar to an anti pasta isn't the opposite of pasta, simply a placeholder/replacement.
I know that we will need to be in tune with God, Jesus, & the Holy Ghost in the turbulent times that come. I am hoping I have given my children enough of a firm foundation to keep the faith during the chaos we are told is still yet to come.
When the move away from a scripted/monthly lesson plan for home teaching was announced to become ministering. I didn't see much of a change since I had always done that with the guys I was assigned to. Was taught at a young age by a couple different companions as a deacon & priest that we just go & let the spirit guide us on how best to help & lead our visits.
Also the family focused teaching seemed to be retuning to a more original interpretation of how we were to worship, though I don't know for certain. It just seemed like a move towards restoring correct principles in my own opinion.
I agree we should be building stronger local communities with those around us & there are many 3rd Nephi similarities.
Ultimately I do think we will see many biblical things happen soon.
All good points.
