Too much emphasis on leaving the body and astroprojection and nothing about resurrection.
BTW: The church built a sister conference center in Rexburg.Ħ.
I talked to one of the contractors of the center specifically about this point. The LDS Church would not hold conference in a damaged conference center. Nuclear winter more likely (year with no rainbow)ĥ. There will be big problems locating clean water after nuclear attack.Ĥ. Christ will be wearing red at the second coming (big miss)ģ. I believe that books containing accounts of visions like "Visions of Glory," "There is No Death," and "A Greater Tomorrow," are indeed for those who witness those visions, but also stand as a strong voice of caution for others who catch the spirit of preparedness and awareness.ĭavedan wrote:All I can say is that the visions are not true.ġ. I don't think the adversary would be behind anything motivating the saints to prepare, and be alert to the signs around us, discerning truth. You know what they say, though: It's better to be safe than sorry to err on the side of caution. The adversary would have us believe that all is well and that there is no need for urgency or preparedness. The Church has instructed people for decades to be prepared.
It has also motivated me to get my house in order by investing in food storage and other emergency preparedness necessities. Just as the Book of Mormon cannot be of the devil because it promotes us to do good, I believe "Visions of Glory," by that same logic also cannot be of the devil because it has promoted my wife to be more aware of our spiritual health and has even inspired us to pray more often, to read our scriptures more often, and to be more obedient to the will of the Lord. “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” (Matt. “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

After seeing the items we were carrying (propane and ammo), he asked, “Are you guys going camping or something?” I laughed as my husband sheepishly explained that were just stocking up on some “essentials.” “Oh, are you guys preppers?,” his friend asked. Last weekend, during a not-so-uncommon trip to Cabela’s, my husband ran into an old friend from his mission and they started catching up. We also reflected on the counsel we had received from our Church leaders over the years to store food, water and supplies.Īnd so we started prepping, modestly at first. Our doubts aside, reading these predictions caused us to consider how well spiritually and temporally prepared we were for such times if we ever encountered them. Almost all of them point to a timeline in the very near future.Īs compelling as these accounts are to people who know they are living in the last days, we both realized it was possible that 1) the author was lying, 2) the author had been deceived or 3) the author had misinterpreted their experience. Since then, he’s read other books by people who say they have seen similar if not identical visions of the same events, usually as part of a near-death experience.
