No, nobody did. And I readily admit that I was wrong about the timing. I firmly believe that certain events are going to happen, including a gathering, but I was way off on the timing.waverider wrote:Did anyone ever get back with you on Thanksgiving?

My belief was influenced by four different sources. First is Hector Sosa's book. Second is a note from Sosa posted in viewtopic.php?t=39089&start=30#p623210. Third is a collection of people, both within the church and outside the church, who claim to have received revelation that Obama will be the last sitting President before the end time tribulations. And fourth is more than a few missionaries I have heard from, who claim they believe to have received revelation that they won't serve a full two years.
Sosa's book did not explicitly give a timeline, and after re-reading it I can see how it, along with those other sources, influenced my belief in a timeline beginning last autumn. But after re-reading the book I am convinced that, if his account is true, the events could start in the autumn of 2016, 2019, 2020, etc.
In the post I provided a link to, Sosa said that there would be a stock market collapse in September, followed by an earthquake after General Conference. I read that post and inferred "this September" regardless of what Sosa may have intended.
A Google search will provide you with plenty of people, mostly outside the church, who claim to have received visions of what is coming. These accounts caught my attention because the authors so adamantly state that the idea of a rapture is false doctrine, and the authors consistently claim that shortly before the election there will be nationwide rioting that leads Obama to attempt to suspend the election because he can't guarantee a fair result, then refusing to honor the results of the elections that do take place. The response to this rioting will be martial law, under which I think it would be difficult for people to freely travel to places of refuge, therefore I logically concluded that the gathering would take place in the prior spring season.
Looking at the situation now, I can easily make a timeline for the first earthquake happening this year or in the other two years that I mentioned. But then there is the missionary issue. Last May or June i started hearing missionaries claim that they believe they will be sent home before their two years are up. These were relatively new missionaries. If they are really receiving revelation letting them know time is short, that excludes things beginning the year before or the year of a Presidential election beyond this year.
