Exact time of His coming - Page 8

Final...



Zechariah continues with a second element unique to this prophesied event:

Modern day scripture, section 88 of the Doctrine and Covenants, weaves the prophesied elements of the great battle Armageddon and the appearance of the Savior on the Mount of Olives into the appearance of THE sign of His Coming and the associated earthquake in these words:

With a picture of THE sign in your mind read: Isaiah. 60:19-20;

Will THE sign be self-luminous or perhaps reflective like a moon, will it partially obscure the light of the sun and moon?

Section 88 describes what will happen following the appearance of THE great sign in heaven that all people shall see "¦together

This is of course, speaking of the Coming of Jesus Christ in power and glory and the morning of the first resurrection when the saints, both the living and the resurrected dead will be caught up to meet him and then descend with Him. This appearance however, will not occur when Christ comes to Jerusalem to rescue the Jews. Section 88's ""¦half an hour" sounds like the Second Coming of the Savior will happen a short time after He makes His appearance upon the Mount of Olive until we remember:

Half an hour of a thousand year day is about twenty one years which will allow ample time, after the battle, for the chores prophesied by the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel to be performed.
Ezek. 39:8-21

Taking a chronological step backward: before Christ makes His appearance at the climactic conclusion of the Battle of Armageddon, Gog; the modern day Russia, from "out of the north parts", will mount a siege; the abomination of desolation, upon the city of Jerusalem that will last three and a half years:
Dan. 12

special note: verse 12 tells when the Savior will make His appearance: Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. (3 ½ years plus 45 days)
Rev. 11:2

(3 ½ years).
Rev. 13:4-5

(3 ½ years)

Gog with Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya "¦will think an evil thought; and in the latter years "¦come into the land "¦against the mountain of Israel, "¦to the land of unwalled villiages; "¦to carry away silver and gold. This assault will turn into a 1,290 day; 42 month; three and a half year campaign; the "abomination of desolation" and will conclude 45 days later with the appearance of the Savior Jesus Christ in Jerusalem at which time an earthquake will literally level every mountain range on the earth and all men worldwide will witness the appearance of THE sign of the His Second Coming. This milestone event will be followed by a twenty one year "half an hour," then and only then will the world witness the long awaited second coming of Jesus Christ to reign upon the earth for a thousand years.

In conclusion, referencing again the restitution of all things before the Second Coming: in an interview of Homer Brown of the Forest Dale ward, Granite Stake:

Eliza R. Snow a wife of the prophet wrote this poem:

I just had a couple of thoughts to add:
First of all I wanted to thank the last JoePublic responder, his thorough knowledge of the scriptures and prophecies was very enlightening. I have been reading a trilogy of books about the second coming written by Anthony E. Larson; the first book in this series is called "And the Moon Shall Be Trned To Blood" these books give another very thorough reckoning of the last days that compliments JoePublic's comments.

Second in response to several previous postings about April 6th being a possible day for the second coming; I just wanted to point out that many if not most important dates in latter day history fall on Jewish holidays.

This was found at wikipedia today, but I have seen it at another website as well.

Whoever points out April 6th don't know what they're saying. No one knows the time of the second coming of the Lord and speculating about such a sacred thing is kind of strange.

I disagree, I've come to some deeper truths, by speculating. Or, rather searching things out in my mind. For me they are nearly the same. As long as things are weighed by the spirit and known scripture and truth. I don't think it is sacrilegious to discuss the time of the second coming, as we are told to "watch". There is nothing wrong with sharing what we are watching for. Besides, this was supposed to be a "fun" thread, as it's already been acknowledged that we can't know the exact time.

So here's my 2 cents. The Lord said in both new testament times, and D&C times, that neither he nor the angels knew the exact time. But only His Father. Who's to say he doesn't know now. Or that the half hour silence in heaven isn't His prep time. If its true that its heaven time (21 years) and not our time (30 min.) Then we could Know 21 years in advance. Because we know that, "The Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secrets unto his servants the prophets." (Amos 3:7)
Actually, I hope that Gwoodsidahoironcom is wrong about the half hour=21 years. Because I'd rather get it over with. The math is right, I just don't want to drag it out, once all starts in full force.

What about if Jesus was speaking about people at that time? (when he said nobody knows about the time of his coming) you know what am I saying? More than 2,000 years passed he could well have spoken about folks at that time.

This sounds to me, like you are saying the second coming would be 21 years after the battle.

Rev 8:1 says:

D&C 88:95 says :

So what I am seeing is that, the half hour begins at the opening of the seventh seal, and ends at the second coming. A total of 21 years.

Notice the events that take place during the seventh seal.This is taken from the New Testament sunday school manual.

If you're into the recent publicity about the ancient Mexican Indian calendar then the exact time will be December 23, 2012. I'll probably be Christmas shopping just about then.
