Helaman 12 – 13The people do not desire that God should rule over them – that is why they go seeking for anyhong to believe in except God and they actively tear down those who choose to place their faith in Him. I was reminded of my first entry suggesting where we are on the…

3 Nephi 2The overwhelming signs of the second coming will be evident well in advance of the devastation and burning by which the dross will be consumed and the earth made ready for a terrestrial society. It will not be long before those overwhelming signs are forgotten and ignored and the people continue in the…

3 Nephi 1At the time of the Savior’s birth Satan sent lies among the people to convince them not to believe in the signs they had seen, and yet the greater part of them believed. The same will be true at His second coming – even when the evidence is overwhelming Satan will not instantly…

Helaman 16As the signs become more obvious among the people (approaching the fulfilling of the prophecies of the coming of Christ) all but the most believing of the people will continue to become more hardened – despite the showing of such great signs in the sight of all people. The people will be under greater…

Helaman 11We face the possibility of social strife and contention to the point of rampant bloodshed among the people which might only be stopped by being forced to deal with natural disasters. If this comes to pass, the solution for us would be the same as the solution for the Nephites – we would have…

Helaman 6I forgot to mention that when there is more righteousness among those who had not previously been believers than there is among those who were historically Christian those newly converted peoples will share their new-found knowledge with those who have believed but become hardened. The essential element here is that there will be a…

Helaman 5Have our laws become so corrupted and our society so hardened that we cannot be governed by law or justice except to our destruction? (possibly but I hope not)It may be that we experience a great exodus of those who are proud and wish to alter our just laws who then seek to destroy…

Helaman 4Having identified our place in the time line, I am seeking to identify the pattern of wickedness and righteousness that the Nephites experienced before the coming of the Lord. I do not necessarily expect the same time frame but I do expect that we will have a similar pattern of belief and unbelief. For…

Helaman 3Helaman was the chief judge for 10 years. During that time there seemed to be 3 year cycles between contention and peace. The contention was never so bad as to destroy society, but that may be why the peace was short-lived. I feel as if World War II was the six year war with…

Helaman 11In the 80th year of the reign of the judges the armies went against the Gadiantons and were driven back. Afterwards the people remembered to turn to God, but only briefly before they returned to their wickedness. That is where we are now. We will return from Iraq unsatisfied with the results and will…
