Christ is Coming!
How can we best prepare?
by
David W. Allan
(dedicated to my Love on her birthday – 27 August 2010)
For
the faithful, the Apostle John beautifully describes the Second Coming:
Let
us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb
is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean
and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the
marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings
of God. (Revelation 19:7-9.)
Most
believe, as the scriptures teach us, that we do not know the day or the hour
of the Savior’s Second Coming. However,
John shares a clear sign of this blessed event: Christ will come when the
Bride is ready to meet Him (The Bridegroom).
We may not know the calendar date, and this should not surprise us –
because the Lord is about the redemption of our souls (what is in our hearts).
Since the “righteousness of saints” is part of the Bride’s
preparations to meet Him, this gives us every motivation to come unto Him –
to be counted among the faithful and to help as many as we can to do the same.
There is no more exciting message to share.
Come
unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in
heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matt.11:28-30)
In
addition, this path will bring us the greatest of joy in this life as well as
a fullness of joy in the life to come. His
Coming will usher in the most glorious age this world has ever seen, as He
comes to reign as Lord of lords and King of kings.
There will be a new heaven and a new earth as the old is purged,
purified, and passes away. This
means the end of the world (worldliness) – Babylon the great will fall.
(Rev. 21:1)
Jesus
further shared: “...ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.” (John 8:32) The applicability of this scripture to our day may be
more than it was when given in the meridian of time.
The TRUTHS of God encompass all dimensions of our existence –
spiritual and physical. Through
His laws of physics and biology, He created the heavens and the earth,
providing a place for His children to be born.
He sent His Son to provide a way (the only way) back to Him and to a
resurrected fullness of Joy with our loved ones in His presence, if we will
use our agency to choose Him. As
part of Satan’s deceit, he has created an incompatibility between science
and religion to blind men from coming to the true Light (Jesus Christ).
Jesus did all of this for the Father, because of the love they both
have for each of us. They did it
with TRUE physics and biology, which are totally in harmony with the TRUE
gospel message of the Creation, the Fall, and the Atonement, which totally
overcame the effects of the Fall –
bringing the spiritual and physical into a oneness.
Satan knows it is his last hour before he is bound, so he is doing everything
– no holds barred – to deceive and thwart the work of God.
Hence, we see many deceived by him as they follow his titillating
enticements – resulting in a world spiraling down in wickedness, with
science often opposed to religion. This
conflict presents a significant impediment to spreading the gospel and it may
look like Satan is winning the day, but we need not fear.
The Lord knows exactly what is going on, and in due process, the wicked
will be destroyed as part of the purging process in preparation for His Second
Coming. At the same time, His
angels are working with the righteous throughout the earth (the meek and
humble followers of the Lord) to help bring about the ultimate best good in an
eternal perspective, and especially in sharing the gospel that all may have an
opportunity to hear this most important message.
The
signs of the times are evident. All
things point to Christ, and the physical and spiritual evidences of His Second
Coming are before us for those who have eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts
to feel. It is glorious and we
look forward to basking in His love.
We see how the Lord will turn all the bad things in the world into good
by bringing about repentance, humility, and meekness, which will cultivate a
society of people who truly and totally love one another and their Great God.
In addition, those who truly come unto Him are filled with His love for
ALL of Father’s children. The earth was created to this end
and the meek and the humble followers of Christ will inherit it, (Matt. 5:5)
and this Fullness OF JOY through the gospel of Jesus Christ is an
invitation extended to all. (John 3:16)
The
exact opposite of this glorious message is the darkness and deceit of the
adversary. Knowing it is his last
hour, he is using anyone who will listen to him or his minions and any means
to create con-fusion, discouragement,, destruction, death and dismay.
This he does to oppose the gospel message of love, joy, and peace that
will eventually lead to the ultimate harmony we seek in society.
The Apostle Paul gives us the counsel we need to deal with these
adversarial challenges: (Eph. 6:10-13)
...be
strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil. For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places. Wherefore
take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the
evil day...
Satan
is the great deceiver and is bringing about, as Paul indicated, “spiritual
wickedness in high places.” Unless
we put on the “whole armor of God” and make ourselves aware of his
insidious ways as “watchmen on the tower,” as the Savior has asked us to
be, Satan will deceive us. My
hope in sharing the following is that by knowing the truth we avoid all the
dark feelings Satan would like to impose upon us.
As we trust in the Lord, we come to know that there is every reason to
hope.
As
a blatant example of “spiritual wickedness in high places” today, consider
the deceit associated with September 11th, 2001, which provided a
launch pad for the deceivers to gain control over the masses and to take away
many of our liberties. Most were
purposely led to believe by the elitists, who demonstrably orchestrated the
whole thing, that it was caused by foreign terrorists. This they did to blame
Al-Qaeda with supposedly a complete breakdown of our intelligence and air
defenses, and to justify aggressive attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq.
The effects of this launch-pad plan persist with us today and will
continue if we do not “wake up to” what they are doing to us. Obviously,
the deceit of these elite is seditiously influenced by the adversary in
achieving power and gain, and loss of liberty.
In uncovering this massive deceit, the work of Professor Steven E.
Jones is pivotal. He was a
Professor at BYU and now is emeritus. Prof.
Jones and his colleagues have pulled together solid-scientific evidence that
9/11 was an inside job. Their
findings, as well as those of several others, have now been documented in
many, peer-reviewed, scientific papers. http://www.ae911truth.org/
They have shown that the planes flying into the twin towers were not
and could not have been the cause of their collapse, but were due to a
preplanned, controlled demolition of all three high-rises.
Aaron
Russo – the producer of the extremely informative whistle blowing film, America,
Freedom to Fascism , reported that 9/11 was planned to give the elite more
control in our lives (such as the ironically called Patriot Act) and with the
intent to make their aggression in declaring war on Iraq look like a defense
of our freedoms. What Aaron
points out is just the opposite: The
elitist’s intentions are to make of us slaves, while destroying a large
number of us in the process. Before
9/11, Aaron knew and talked with Nick Rockefeller, one of the elitists. Nick
alluded to Aaron that they had an event planned that would make us believe
that the terrorists are our main and feared enemy, and to a significant extent
they have succeeded.
Contrary
to the “official story” put out by the elite and what we hear, read, and
see in the media, the evidence below shows how all three high rises
were brought down by controlled demolition.
The elite story was supported by the NIST report (government
scientists). Subsequently,
several flaws have been found in that report.
Now it appears that the NIST report was forced to be consistent with
the “official story.” Because this massive deceit has been designed by
some of the elitists to lead us down the path of slavery, by understanding
these things we can know the TRUTH, see how to regain our liberties, and see
better how to promulgate the gospel.
The
following facts document controlled demolition being the cause of the collapse
of the three World Trade Center buildings 1, 2 and 7, as was coordinated by a
group of elitists:
1
All
three buildings fell at near free-fall speeds – typical of controlled
demolition and impossible as one studies the physics coming from jet fuel
fires and the impact of the jets. The
elite and media model of the buildings’ floors pan-caking incurs resistance;
in this model it would defy the laws of physics for the buildings to collapse
at free-fall speeds.
2
All
three buildings fell into their footprint – as would happen in controlled
demolition.
3
Building
7 was not hit by an airplane and fell at free-fall speeds – a classic
example of controlled demolition. This
also is physically impossible to have happened from internal, office-material
fires and from falling debris. Notice
how the media focused on the airplanes and the destruction of the twin-towers
and de-focused on building 7. Key
people in the media leadership are aligned with these conspiratorial
activities and many are members of the Council on Foreign Relations.
4
The
pulverization of all three buildings into powder is typical of controlled
demolition and could not have happened from jet-fuel initiated fires, as the
elite would have us believe. The
temperatures from such are way too low and insufficient in extent to have
caused ALL the steel girders to collapse all at once as was
observed.
5
Typical
controlled demolition expanding dust clouds
6
Squibs
(horizontal, outward explosions) seen in advance of the collapsing portion –
typical of controlled demolition. Fragments
of human bones were found on roofs of adjacent buildings.
This could not happen from internal fires as the supposed cause of the
buildings collapsing.
7
Many
explosions heard by emergency personnel on the scene – typical of controlled
demolition
8
Thermite
and nanothermite (red-gray chips) found in the dust of all three buildings at
0.1 % concentration levels – as used in high tech controlled demolition.
This is direct evidence of how the buildings were brought down and an
excellent peer reviewed paper documents these findings.
The full paper can be found at the following web address: http://www.bentham-open.org/pages/content.php?TOCPJ/2009/00000002/00000001/7TOCPJ.SGM
9
The
occurrence of iron (not steel) micro-spheres in the dust, which could only
happen under super high temperatures (like in thermitic reactions) could not
be generated from building fires or jet fuel alone melting steel; these iron
micro-spheres occur in controlled demolition using thermite.
10
Several
tons of molten metal at the base of the three buildings were reported by
numerous highly-qualified witnesses – typical of controlled demolition and
not explainable from the fires present.
11
Liquid
iron in the wreckage a month after the collapse (from continued thermite
reactions); this cannot be explained from the impact of the jets and the
resulting jet-fuel fires.
12
The
fact that never before or since has a fire caused even one steel structure
building to fall in the free fall-fashion observed – let alone three in one
day
13
The
fact that the buildings had recently undergone elevator upgrades, giving
access to the support structures
14
The
fact that emergency evacuations were conducted just a few days prior to 9/11
in which security cameras were disabled (providing undocumentable access)
15
The
owner of WTC building 7 – the 3rd building to collapse on 9/11
– even though it was NOT hit by a plane at all (Larry Silverstein) was
videotaped saying, "pull it" (evidently meaning to demolish the
building), and he made enormous profits as a result of the 9/11 disaster; his
multi-billion dollar insurance was updated to cover terror attacks just six
weeks before 9/11.
16
Cover-ups
on the part of leading elite officials have been well documented in several
books. The work of Emeritus
Professor Peter Dale Scott of UC Berkeley in his book, The Road to 9/11,
is an outstanding example.
17
A
petition has been signed by 1,266 architectural and engineering professionals,
who have studied the evidence and cannot agree with the elite’s story.
In addition, the petition has been signed by 9,138 other supporters
including A&E students demanding of Congress a truly independent
investigation. The petition is
open to everyone, as 9/11 has impacted the world in a major way: http://www.ae911truth.org/
and the effects of the deceit have been enormous.
There
are many other examples I could give of subtle deceit that the elitists are
using to manipulate the populace, such as global warming and population
control. Most would be surprised
to see the full list. To help us
focus on the Savior and to avoid being deceived, let us look at the goals and
characteristics of the Father’s perfect plan of happiness, which brings
about the fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, and peace)
in contrast to Satan’s, as manifest so blatantly now through the
agendas of the elitists.
The
following table illustrates these contrasts:
GOD’S
AGENDA
|
SATAN’S
AGENDA
|
Love
and charity amongst and toward all
|
Fear,
hate, envy, and selfishness prevail.
|
Moral
agency brings ultimate happiness.
|
Elitists
bring about control and slavery.
|
Freedom
from sin through the atonement
|
You
are an evolved animal; do your thing.
|
Freedom
as a nation; as we abide by God’s law we are entitled to the blessings
of heaven. Our Constitution
was inspired of God to this end
|
The
elitists are brilliant and know best; they should rule over the common
folk. The US Constitution
is out of date and needs replacing.
|
As
children of God, every soul is precious and of infinite worth; He is no
respecter of persons and upholds the potential of every human soul.
|
There
are too many people on the planet; the population should be reduced
through abortions, wars, disease (such as AIDS), etc.
|
Be
humble followers of Christ
|
Pride,
power, gain, and control by elitists.
|
The
family is the most important unit in time and eternity and is part of
God’s plan. Happiness in the family comes as we come to know God with
the fruits of love, purity, integrity, and fidelity.
|
The
family is out of date. Redefine it to allow any choice of sexuality.
Have pleasure in sexual freedom – promoting pornography and
lust – bringing about rape, incest, abuse, and hate.
|
Ten
Commandments are of God; live them.
|
Remove
the Ten Commandments; may offend.
|
Thou
shalt not lie.
|
Lying
is okay; protect you image.
|
The
military is for the defense of our families, our properties, our
liberty, and our rights. All
have a right to bear arms. Government
military is for the protection of the people.
|
The
military is a means for the elitists to
offensively gain power throughout the world, and guns should be
taken away from private citizens – giving elitists control.
|
Light,
Truth, and Love lead to the comprehension of all things and open the
door for us to grow into a fullness of JOY.
|
Darkness;
using the education system to dumb down the people, so we don’t know
what is going on and the elitists can make slaves of us.
|
The
elitists think they are in control, and it may appear right up to the last that
they are, but we know that God is really in charge, and to trust in Him is the
greatest opportunity of our existence. We
know that He truly holds the future. It
is time for each of us to make a choice. Let
us choose Christ, repent of our sins, and enjoy the fruits of the Spirit (peace,
love, joy, etc. Galatians 5:22-25). These
fruits we can enjoy – as did the early Christians –
in the midst of the storms and challenges of life, as well as in the
midst of any obstacles these elitists may place upon us.
It will take more than the previous revolutionary war to get our
liberties back. But this we know,
the Lord will win. We need not fear
what the elite or others may do to us. They
cannot take away our choice to follow Christ and to feast upon His word; then
His Spirit will keep us from being deceived.
If we choose otherwise, we will be deceived and destroyed with Babylon
the great, which will surely fall (Revelations chapters 17 & 18).
We need not worry about the final outcome.
A true Christian does not fear death – knowing that the Lord will not
allow the wicked to destroy the righteous before their missions are accomplished
in life. As humble followers of
Christ, we know of heaven and all fear is swallowed up in Him, as we are filled
with His love.
We
have in the three books (Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl, The
Hiding Place by
Corrie
Ten Boom, and Left to Tell by Immaculée
Ilibagiza) the inspiring stories of three people who went through incredibly
challenging times. Not only did
they come out victorious, but with extremely important messages for our day.
Immaculée’s message can profoundly help us as we look to the
future challenges facing us. While
hiding for 91 days with seven other women cramped in a bathroom of a local
pastor’s home during the horrible 1994 Rwandan genocide, she learned the
following three lessons from the Lord. Then
major miracles occurred and they were preserved against all odds while a million
Rwandans were murdered.
1)
Keep fear, doubt, hate, and worry out of our lives; these are Satan’s tools
and are not of God. As we truly
come to Christ, He will help us replace these dark, heavy emotions with love,
joy, and peace in the midst of our challenges. – filling our souls with light
and love, and the truths of God.
2)
Pray every waking moment; the power of prayer is beyond our comprehension. He is
always there for us, if we will but reach out to Him. Through Him we have power
over Satan and his minions.
3)
We need to forgive and love everyone – especially our enemies. The Lord will
teach us, as we ask, how to love this intently, and by this love and forgiveness
Immaculée gained power over her enemies. (Let us pray for the elite and send
them love; they are now the real enemies of God’s work.)
We
can see why Satan is working so hard to take away our liberties.
Liberty is at the heart of being able to enjoy the fruits of the gospel
– individually and as community (freedom from individual sin and freedom as a
nation). The Constitution was given
to us by God to provide liberty, which allows all who will follow the Spirit to
find the gospel. It is only through the atonement that we gain freedom from
personal sin and that we obtain freedom as a nation as we abide by God’s Law.
We are the only nation whose founders realized that the blessings of
liberty are secured as we abide by God’s Law. (See Isa. 61:1; Luke 4:18; Rom
8:18-21; 2 Cor. 3:17; Gal. 2:4; 5:1; James 1:25; 2 Nephi 2:27; D&C 88:86;
and 138:18-19) Hence, religious
freedom was fundamental as the founders gave us America – the land of the Free
and the right to choose our spiritual path.
Satan is trying to turn all of that great good – given us by our
founders – upside down, but God will not allow it.
In His infinite wisdom, He will use Satan’s work to bring about an
ultimate good. The wicked in large
measure will end up destroying the wicked.
Our greatest opportunity is to trust in Him and keep all His commandments
(the greatest of which are to love the Lord God with all our heart, might, mind,
and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves), to help God do His work,
which is to bring souls, and as many as will, to Christ, and to hearken to the
voice of our Redeemer. We will then
see the perfect harmony between science and religion as all TRUTH becomes
known. “For the earth shall be
filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the
sea.” (Habakkuk 2:14)
In that process, we will learn to love as God loves us, which will fill
our hearts with joy in this life and bring us Eternal Life in the world to come,
which Father wants for each of us but will not force.
It is our choice. With great
anticipation, Isaiah in his vision of the Lord’s Second Coming declares:
I
will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath
clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of
righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride
adorneth herself with her jewels. For
as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that
are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and
praise to spring forth before all the nations.
(Isaiah 61:10-11.)
THANK
YOU, LORD. Thou art ever there to
hear our prayers. Thy blessings are
countless. Thy love is infinite, as
manifest through Thy marvelous creations and through the infinite atonement of
Thy Son, which gives us every hope. We
thank Thee not only for all our blessings but also for our trials and
challenges; in them we have opportunity to grow closer to Thee.
How we look forward to the Coming of Thy Son.
May we be thine ambassadors for light, liberty, truth, and love; for this
is Thy perfect Plan of Happiness – the gospel (the good news) of Jesus Christ,
which is actually the Best News.
