Thank you for posting this brother Jeppson ! I too am experiencing those Miracles as the Lord changes my heart! I will praise his name forever for that kindness shown to me ! I no longer have an address in Babylon thanks to him!! 😇

[@kcmattp]

Thank you so much for this comment, Mike! What an incredible miracle it is to see how He changes our heart where we could never do it on our own, how he takes the telestial out of us. Our Savior is so full of mercy and grace!

[@mikeporter6952]

@@kcmattp YES !!!

[@lynnsmith4852]

When the Prophet in his last talk told us repeatedly to think Celestial, I think it had a dual meaning. Besides thinking about the work to be in the Celestial kingdom, I believe he was telling us to watch the signs in the heavens. Just as the wise men knew about the Saviors birth because of watching the signs in the heavens, we should be watching the signs in the heavens denoting the second coming

[@lauracragun]

Never thought of that. Thank you for that insight👍

[@2u43]

Interesting. That never occurred to me. Thank you for pointing out that thought.

[@mandyaidukaitis9195]

Great video, thank you. The Lord has shown me his return in great detail and it’s glorious. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. ❤❤

[@Gunderland]

Wow

[@MommaCrissa]

That's a gift and a privilege, so amazing! Did you see His first return to Zion (Adam Ondi-Ahmen), His second to the people in Zion/New Jerusalem, the next in Jerusalem for the 2 prophets to do their work of prophesying or the great and dreadful day to the entire world (second coming)?

[@GoldwingGrandma]

Thank you.. I’m impressed by your knowledge and understanding but mostly your humility.

[@kcmattp]

Thank you so much, none of this would be useful at all, and the spirit would not carry it anywhere if I thought any of it was mine. It is absolutely his and I’m just grateful to participate in any small way as we all are able when we desire!

[@aftonmonahan4581]

My dear brother died 11-11-23 at 11:11 am. I think it means think Celestial. I've been following you from the very beginning. Thanks for helping us. Some of my family members are the type that needs a short simple 101 version of what you just said. I know it's simple but for some it's not. I'm sure you and others have notified our dear Prophet and general authorities about the actual Alpha and Omega eclipse signs. I know the prophet knows, I'm sure. I've been putting the world behind me in many ways and holding strong to our prophets teachings in also preparing us for Jesus Christs return. Thank you bro. Jeppson. This is so exciting.

Thanks Kim, so precious, so important to be fully consecrated and to purify our hearts!

[@lauriesmith3443]

Matt, I dont even know how I found you except to say I was led. Thank you for this. I feel like i have my walking papers for the next few months. Interestingly enough, my husband and i will start our mission at Heber Valley Girls Camp exactly on April 8th. Can't wait.

[@kcmattp]

Awesome, thank you Laurie for your comments, so glad to hear the Lord had revelation for you for the months ahead. That is an awesome calling, could be an interesting time up there!

Thank you Laura, so glad there were helpful things in it for you.

[@rosalynlafevre576]

I've been hearing similar things on Christian Homestead channel, so lovely to hear them so beautifully and powerfully discussed here too. What an amazing group of sisters too!

[@ensignj3242]

I feel the same that the Savior will be here soon (i would not be surprised if He is here in 10 years.) I’m both excited and anxious about it. There’s so much to do. I’m a prepper and was surprised when my bishop asked me to go on a mission. I’m a 71 yr old widow who was planning on moving further from the border when i was called. I leave for the MTC in 7 weeks.

[@ciel1271]

Thank you for being willing to share your impressions, Matt. Since president ET Benson told my generation we would be the ones to prepare the earth for His coming (April 1981), I always imagined myself present for His return. I hope that is the case! I have felt prompted in many ways, esp to learn herbal medicine (starting in about 2017). God has created this earth with everything we need, including food, clothing, shelter, and medicine.

[@RosePetal-j2i]

Agree

[@wendyfoster5579]

2024 feels ominous to my husband and I. Kind of a foreboding.

[@sherilynmills6934]

I think it was Elder Anderson that taught that all the negative event have an even greater positive to match it. Do not fear, prepare now. Think Celestial!!!

[@kcmattp]

It definitely has a heavy feeling to it but an overriding feeling of proximity to his return, the cleansing of the earth, the destruction of Babylon rather than anything that is eternal. I love how optimistic Pres. Nelson always is about the future, glorious, breathtaking, the greatest manifestations of the saviors power, countless privileges, blessings, miracles upon the faithful! What days are ahead!

[@wendyfoster5579]

My husband and I have been repaired now for about 10 years, we keep hoping it happens while we are young enough to be helpful to others. We have spent the last couple years living off solar power and a wood stove and we are glad it is second nature now so we don’t have so many adjustments. Spiritualality is key but temporal preparedness will definitely help.

[@tannaantonucci8068]

Thank you Brother Jeppson! I didn’t want this to end!!!!

[@jodie672]

I have been feeling for months an urgency to do missionary work, something that’s hard for me. I thought it was just because I was drawing closer to the Lord. But now it makes sense. Fantastic video! Thank you 🙏

[@kcmattp]

Thank you for sharing this, so many are feeling that urgency and there is absolutely absolutely and great importance in it! As President Nelson has said, it is a time to take extraordinary measures, perhaps measures we have never taken before, to strengthen our spiritual foundation. To be all in, to cut all cords to Babylon, to be fully consecrated! The blessings will be immense.

[@jodie672]

@@kcmattp wow! With your busy life Matt, I am grateful for you taking the time to reply., and for your inspired words.

[@ttschrock7126]

Thank you Brother Jeppson. I have watched your videos since you started. I know that I was led to find. I appreciate your diagram of the heart. It is so urgent to understand how we are controlled and how to give up our will to Him. Much appreciation to you for your time, energy, and willingness to share. In 2019 I started to feel the urgency. I love our prophet. He is amazing and such a spiritual giant for us. I am far from family and married to a non member, so at times I worry about being far from my children and grandchildren. I want to be there to help. I want to assist in protecting. But other than my children, I am not worried. I believe the work is there and I am well prepared. I do hope that I have done enough. Plus, I need to cut those heart strings. Thank you again.

[@lavernedavis4123]

Some things the Lord impresses upon my heart is to remember the laws of 1. The widows mite. 2. the Lord's multiplication, (can't He multiply our efforts, our food, our love, our influence?) 3. The very purpose of being called out of Babylon is to become (celestial) prepared for the terrestrial change of the earth. It doesn't have to take a long time when there are less Babylonic distractions and a rivited focus on Christ. (Celestial bodies don't need food.) 4. Miracles defy telestial thinking... ie supplements, medication, phones, even food. We can think outside the telestial box when asking seeking and knocking for those miracles (think celestial). I believe a focus on our Savior, being sanctified, and keeping our covenants, increases our virtue/power and influence while gathering both sides of Israel, including our spouses, children and grand children. We can trust Him and His ways. His promises are sure is my witness in Christ's holy name.

You are so welcome! Anything good in it is the Lord’s!

[@roburry]

The comment of the sister on war is spot on. This is the warfare against Zion. 1 Nephi 14:13 And it came to pass that I beheld that the great mother of abominations did gather together multitudes upon the face of all the earth, among all the nations of the Gentiles, to fight against the Lamb of God. Our places of security are sanctifying our homes, following our priesthood keys, and the temple is a place of security unlike any other.

[@tiffanybloomquist7050]

Brother Jeppson, thank you for the time you took to put the slides and presentation together. Fascinating that you found all the Salem cities lined up along the eclipse route and the letter A. There were many times it was hard to watch and take in what you were saying with all that was going on in the background. I wonder if you would consider redoing the video for the online audience. The loud background noise, crying baby, people getting up and down in front of the video, comments and interruptions took away from your message, and in the end it was clear you were rushed in what you wanted to say. It was also hard to read your screen from this angle and take screen captures. Thanks again for sharing your insights.

[@lisadoiron6]

Agreed. They need a better sound system for KZbin and someone needs to zoom up on the screen as well.

[@lisadoiron6]

That sign has been given at least 3 times since the Restoration. Joseph Smith witnessed the first one.

[@juliak3580]

Yes! It comes around yearly but the sign with the description and in the sign of Nissan is rare. We have bookends for the Rev. 12 sign. 2017 northwest to south east now, 2024 The other part of the x. They call it the Great Mayan eclipse. The path crosses many cities whose name means peace. Michael Rush said there are 12 cities named Salem along the path! There are some that also mean rebellion. Some say we are off on our calendar from Hebrew to Gregorian by 12 years. That would make this year 2012. The year the Mayans said would be the end of the world. I just want to say, “ It’s the end of their world, evil dominion and the beginning of the millennium. We will see the lords greatest miracles. Dont fear. Have faith. We are so blessed.

[@preceptuponprecept]

Thanks for always sharing these great insights, Matt. I find that Matthew 24:36 is easy to argue, but D&C 49:7 is more difficult. How do you look at the D&C verse?

[@kcmattp]

Good question! It is clear when you read all of the Scriptures together that speak about that day for full context that the Savior here is speaking with precision about the moment of his arrival, not the season and proximity. not long before this he had with very clear words taught of the obligation to be watching the signs: D&C 45:39 And it shall come to pass that he that feareth me shall be looking forth for the great day of the Lord to come, even for the signs of the coming of the Son of Man. 40 And they shall see signs and wonders, for they shall be shown forth in the heavens above, and in the earth beneath… 44 …and he that watches not for me shall be cut off. Why would we watch if we could not recognize anything from doing so? 3 Nephi shows the same, that the righteous are watching for the signs and recognize them. The parable of the fig leaves and the other references in the new testament are similar in that they show that we can recognize the proximity even as the ripening fig, even if we will not know the exact moment.

[@lavernedavis4123]

D&C says the hour or the day. We don't know that just like a woman giving birth. We can't predict or even know the exact time of birth. We can know then, the week or month or season.

Keep in mind the SLC temple is expected to be completed in 2026. That temple is prophesied to be in the Millennium. So you have at least until then. I kid I kid!!!

There was some enlightening somewhat side discussion in this video, that is has to do with man and woman and serving in the 144,000. I also am given that combination of numbers FREQUENTLY, in many different ways, to the point I know it’s not just me noticing them like you notice a car you’re interested in more often. I would like more discussion on those numbers as well.

[@debadee8]

I love this presentation! Can someone help me understand the 2,422 days as being exactly 7 eclyptical years. I can't figure it out. If one eclyptical year is 365.25 days then wouldn't 7 of those be 2,557.75?

[@ikesteroma]

Okay, so I had the same question and found the answer. An "ecliptic" or draconic year is 346.6 days long. If we round down to 346 days, seven 7 draconic years would be 2,422 days. If we don't round down, it is 2426 days.

Hi Lisa. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

[@040055]

Perhaps it was by design to have this more of an open discussion, I tend to like these under more of a 'fireside' tone where you have the speaker discoursing and limited commentary from the sidelines. For me, it flows better without the speaker having to always try and circle back around to where he left off.

[@barrybrooksby]

I'm curious about your thoughts on this. I want Jesus to come for His second coming as soon as possible, but doesn't the Gospel still need to be preached to every nation and people before His second coming? North Korea? All of China? All the Middle East countries? The Church always goes in with the Gospel through the front door, nothing is secretive. Seems like this could be 10, 20, 30 years away?

[@RosePetal-j2i]

The lord said he would hasten the day

[@kcmattp]

Hi, good question! President Nelson said Israel is currently being gathered in every nation. Elder Gong said the gospel has been taken to all the world through the internet. Additionally, in Matthew 24 the scripture that the gospel will be preached to all nations is correctly translated as European gentile nations. Hebrew word for nations was goyim which has traditionally meant European gentile nations, Greek word was ethnos. I believe it has already been fulfilled.

[@barrybrooksby]

[@davidwatts1791]

Easter is 31 March 2024. The LDS conference is 6-7 April 2024, just before the 8 April eclipse.

[@marylarson9309]

You probably already know this and maybe I missed this in your video but X marks the spot over Carbondale IL, known as Little Egypt. It also goes over 2 other Little Egypts in Canada. I also think that is significant. Many worry the judgement on this land might be connected to the New Madrid fault line that it also goes over and besides everything else coming in 2024 and 2025, we “may” have a big earthquake.

[@johnmilroy6566]

What about the x over Texas? I think town of Utopia. The x is from Oct 14 eclipse line and April 8th. Also at 1st when I looked at the lines I saw emblems /synbols of a compass and square angle.

[@juliak3580]

The earthquake was on the 6th seal. It could have been the 9.2 on the ricktor scale that caused a great tsunami in I think it was Indonesia. We are done with the silence in heaven since 2017. We await for the burning mountain and then the antichrist.

[@JohnDoe-ok5wo]

Maybe the Tav means the end of the wicked world, and the Alef means the beginning of a new world, the millennium. I'm only part way through, so maybe that's the interpretation that you give later.
