Kirtland, I've seen your posts now for several months. I appreciate your enthusiasm for the Lord's return. I don't believe we are far off from serious tribulation. But, two or three months ago, I had to ask myself what my motivation was. Was I being vigilant because I thought the time was now? If I thought the second coming was decades away, would I procrastinate the day of my repentance? Or, was I preparing spiritually and temporarily because I want to draw closer to Christ now no matter if the second coming happens now or years down the road?kirtland r.m. wrote:Someone very well known to this forum, but not a member of the forum, who is a "dreamer' personally warned me about this about six months ago. What am I talking about? Here is a quote from Dave Hodges which describes it exactly, just posted his week.
Last week, I received notification of a marriage between terrorists and cartel members in which they were going to cross the border and create as much mayhem as possible. Here is the title of Hodges post and link. All Hell Is Breaking Loose-Eyewitness to a 4,000 Man Sleeper Army in Tijuana, MX.http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2017/ ... ijuana-mx/
Sounds a little crazy, but it matches exactly what was said to me. I was told that at a future time this would happen, and they would get as far as Phoenix.We shall see.
If I was being honest, I would have been procrastinating if I thought I had decades left. My motivation was, at least in part, due to the excitement of the second coming. I realized that I could have the Lord in my life now if I continued to repent and be faithful. If that was the case, it didn't matter what someone said in a book, blog, or YouTube about the timing of the second coming because I could personally experience His presence in my life now through the comforter and avoid being tossed to and fro by the next vision or dream.
I'm not saying not to learn the signs and not to be watchful. But, my impression is that you're grasping at anything that comes along. Study the scriptures, follow the living Prophet, and learn to live by personal revelation. If we can do that, we will be ready for anything!!
