Preparation for the Second Coming

Dallin H. Oaks - We need to make … spiritual preparation for the events prophesied at the time of the Second Coming. www.lds.org/general-conferenc...

I left the church when I was 14. I am 32 now, and so much has happened. I lost my faith, got it back again, looked for signs, prayed, and I am unable to go back to church because I don't have a vehicle to get there, but I have been watching these videos and conferences and testimonies. Very inspiring and my faith is back now more than ever. I feel good.

[@cumorahwatson1967]

Aww We don't have a car either. But l know, the Lord sees the secrets of our heart! So that gives me comfort l hope, it gives you comfort too.The Lord love's your small efforts, believe me. Glad to have you back!😊👏❤ Stay strong, my friend.

Ooh I know I'm 8 months late but I told someone once before. If ye have a desire the Lord will help find a way.keep praying and contact members to find some help. I don't have a vehicle either so I understand. Coming to church every Sunday is my favorite.I feel so much peace when I'm there and I hope you do too because your heavenly Father really does love you

[@blhbsit1251]

You can watch meetings from internet, phone or computer. Contact your ward and they will send you links. Hang in there. You will receive what you need when you need it. Not before, not after. My testimonies came randomly and not when I asked. Test of faith, prevail, receive blessing.

Exactly! It's incredible how quickly things have taken a turn for the worse and how it seems to get worse each and every day! The Lord isn't just quietly inviting people to come to Him before it's too late anymore. He's PLEADING with people very loudly and very obviously to open up their eyes and ears regarding everything that is going on around them He's shouting, "PLEASE humble yourselves enough to turn to Him and repent; to help others in need (no matter what their needs are); and to treat each other with kindness and love regardless of personal differences." He's not only pleading with others who are without religion, but also, and maybe even especially, with people who DO have religion in their lives. People who disregard the things they have learned and continually excuse their behavior as if they are the exception who don't have to do what they have been taught and commanded to do.

Yes!!! I have felt lately that our General Authorities are not as bold as previous generations, like the 70s when they denounced evil with great energy. But as I listen again, I realize that's not true. I especially loved this one. President Oaks is one of my favorites.

[@dcarts5616]

We’ve all been treated to the directness of this crop of prophets and apostles. People used to yearn for it. McKay, Kimball, Benson, Hinckley, Monson, Nelson, Maxwell, Eyring, Oaks, Holland, *Packer*, Perry, Bednar, maybe Christofferson and many before are the last of their kind. Moving forward, after them, I feel we will be taught a watered down gospel for the weak, a lesser law if you will. Sad. So sad. I will miss this man!

[@mariaboehme133]

I was baptize when I was 22 years old. That was in the year 1983. The year before that, I met the Missionaries. I know our Heavenly Father has called me to join in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints cause he heard my Prayer. I told Him I want to serve Him but I wasn't sure if the Catholic Church is the right place forcme to serve. So instead of being a Nun, I became GOD's Ambassador as a Proselyting Missionary and Self Reliance Sister Missionary. Then during my Mission I was privileged to meet and shooke hands with Elder Russel M. Nelson, Elder Dallin H. Oaks and other Apostles. I was really happy that President Russel M. Nelson and President Dallin H. Oakes became our Living Prophets including President Henry B Eyring. I know our Great Leaders are fore-ordained to become our Leaders in our Generation.And I am so thankful we receive all these Revelations for our Preparation in returning home to our Heavenly parents. And for our Family to be reunited. What a great day to look forward to. In Jesus Christ name, Amen.

Regarding Matthew 25 and the foolish virgins.. that is NOT doctrine for the Christian and losing their salvation. Christians CANNOT lose their salvation, but Jews during the Tribulation can because they’re saved by faith AND WORKS. The Church is considered to be the BRIDE throughout the whole Bible, not as virgins waiting to “meet” the Bridegroom Matt 25:1 “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to MEET the bridegroom.” KJV There’s not a single member of the Body of Christ in this entire chapter. These “virgins” do not go to marry “the bridegroom” , they go to “meet” Him, because He is ALREADY married! Read Luke 12:36 “And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.” KJV The Bride of Christ is NEVER referred to as “virgins” in the plural; she is ONE Ephesians 4:4 “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;” And we are ESPOUSED to CHRIST, and we are like a chaste virgin (singular) 1 Corinthians 11:2 “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.” These “virgins” are mentioned in Psalm 45:14 and Song of Solomon 1:3 and 6:8 as SEPARATE from the Bride. Just the chapter before this one, Matthew 24:45 these “servants” are JEWS, not Christians. These Jewish, male “virgins” show up in the Tribulation in REVELATION 14:1-4 Their salvation is connected with WORKS (Revelation 12:17), which is why some of them can lose it This book is tricky, but you must rightly divide or you can live your whole life knowing wrong doctrine.

It is one thing to be courageous and stay on the path but it's even more courageous and inspiring as you hear people with the courage to come back and do what's right rather than refusing to admit they made a mistake. I have made my share of mistakes and found that it's much better to quickly admit and get back on the path so that we can have the comforting guidance of the Holy Ghost. I am so proud of those that share their experience, it builds my testimony. I Share my witness that I to know that this is the gospel of Jesus Christ.

[@nathanbanks2935]

Hi Kevin, I respectfully disagree with what you say. You said that Christians cannot loose their salvation. Everyone especially Christians, need to keep the commandments of God to be saved. Christ taught, if you love me keep my commandments, if you love me feed my sheep. We also need to repent daily, in order to be saved. Since God knows everything, it would be much more logical that this parable would be applicable to the whole human family, rather than the very few Hebrew population, compared to everyone that would come across this parable and read it. Concerning the gracious sacrifice of Devine substitution that Jesus performed for each of us, it is only through him that we are saved, however we have to choose to access his grace through our faith. We have our own free will so he's not going to just force us to be saved by his grace. We have to fill our cup of faith with the water that comes from his fountain of Grace, to be saved in his kingdom. If we accept him with our lips only, but don't really love him, and love our neighbor as ourselves, our "faith," is fake. I hope this helps clarify some misunderstanding. God bless you!

And I just continue to pray for others and help.

[@lilask2667]

These revelatory's words pronounced by President Oaks are so fresh and applicable today amid COVID-19. Thank you, God, for the living prophets talking on behalf of You.

[@connieeicher]

Great talk. This really touched my heart and I hope and pray to have the wisdom to prepare for the Lord's coming.

Action. The Lord has called all to immediate and continued action. Act now and keep acting. He is coming back and we need to prepare as many as possible for His coming

[@Sunshine-eb7ei]

With all that is happening in 2020, this talk is ever so relevant! I know the gospel is true and the prophets of God are inspired! "Whether by my own voice or by the voice of my servants it is the same". Grateful for this! #SelfEvaluationNeeded

[@guardianangel9517]

Amen 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jensensharp]

I've had the oppurtunity to study finance and some of the intricacies within that profession. Many things are currently unfolding and it's been humbling for me to gain a cecculor point of view as well as a spiritual point of view for things that will come to pass. Times are upon us and though we may not know the day and time, something that has helped me to remain diligent and obediant in my covenants is the reassurance all will be made right through the atonement of our Savior. We are fortunate to have access to such divine truths and the proper steps to ensure our foundation is eternally solid. Remember one of the last things our big brother, our Savior, our Lord taught on Earth. "Love one another, even as I have loved you" stated three times to his diciples. Keep shining bright! Love and care from Arizona.

[@danielcunningham9956]

Yes, the times have changed! Lawlessness abounds. I haven't watched TV in over 3 years, maybe 4. I just don't get any good out of it. I want to be prepared!

[@nancyarchibald9095]

The 10:00 minute mark going forward is profound. I pray that my temporal and spiritual preparations will suffice. I pray I'll be ready to lift and nurture others around me. God loves His elect. His remnant. Work to be counted in the ranks of His righteous believers. We have faith in the great Jehovah for He shall come as He has promised.

[@Logan-ji3xl]

I’m so grateful to have the gospel in my life, I love the Lord with all my heart and I love our dear Profeta Presidente Nelson and all those that labour with him I this great work here on earth in teaching and helping as to prepare for the second coming of the Lord , all I can say to those who are way from the church, came back believe in the words of the scriptures and voice of our living Profeta and you will find peace and happiness ❤️

"Come quickly Lord and destroy the wicked, that we may worship thee openly"

I watched this at conference 7 years ago and have listened to it several times since then. It keeps popping up as a suggestion. Not a coincidence, I'm sure.

[@guardianangel9517]

I had to re-watch this video. President Oaks reminds me of a spiritual LION! Strong and beautiful❤🧡💛 I had to pause it and do some repenting because I want to be READY for the Bridegroom 🙏🏼👍🏻💜🤍🕊

[@bearthrills809]

This suddenly showed up in my Recommended section. I don't know what made the KZbin algorithm do that, I haven't been watching conference talks or anything like it. This is super relevant right now though. I'm expecting conference to be like President Nelson said, "unforgettable".

All that are happening now are what God wants us to ponder and give heed that we have to start preparing ourselves for His coming. Thank you for all the revelations that we receive continually from our living prophet. ❤

[@cdeanneeckles]

Thank you for posting this talk for review. I am grateful to listen to it again in 2020.

I am really graceful for the powerful leaders that our heavenly Father has given to us To direct us in order live good life that can lead us back to the Lord

[@terraalbritton6405]

Watching conference talks is good, but we need to take the sacrament in person. If you need a ride to get back to Church, please reach out to the missionaries! They can arrange rides with other members! We need you!

[@Jingryl]

What a powerful message from our beloved apostle.

[@lavonhardy884]

I'm grateful for this reminder and I need to quit procrastinating and really get down and prepare for all eventuality. 👍

“Sickness covering the face of the land”

[@ashleyandmicahenglish5587]

Desolating sickness sweeps the land, the overflowing scourge covers the earth... "Scourge" is only used one way in the Book of Mormon; the scourge is the "Assyrian" of Isaiah, the "little horn" of John. The desolating sickness paves the way FOR the scourge: "An overflowing scourge will cover the earth, FOR (or BECAUSE) a desolating sickness will sweep the land..." (D&C 45).

[@scootermom1791]

Exactly! Did you also know that Australia was overwhelmed by a pestilence of bats in January? And Africa had a pestilence of locusts destroying their crops? I feel extremely bad for them because they will starve unless their government will let other countries help them. Anyway, basically everything that's been mentioned in the scriptures as "signs of the times" has happened except for having the gospel taught in all countries.

2020 and we are ever closer than before. Very inspired talk and we may be ready for the second coming. I truly have to try harder. Through prayer and fasting I will.

[@scottrobinson9334]

Don't give up, I'm a convert and started doing some things I did before I joined the church, even though I wanted to be better it seemed like it was harder then than when I first quit those things, I almost gave up and turned away from the church and now I'm glad I listened to the spirit and focused on my relationship with Heavenly Father and the saviour instead of what others, especially fellow members who knew what I was doing thought about me and my actions. Be honest with the Lord and yourself, don't let anything lead you from the truth, it may seem impossible but strength and peace WILL come, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

[@contact3604]

Im greatful for the words that have been spoken here. My strengths come from my faith in my Lord Jesus Christ, Line upon line here a little there a little.

A Saint is a sinner who keeps on trying. If you're reading this, keep trying. God supplies the vessel and the oil that perfects. Don't let Satan trick you into thinking you have to be flawless, you have to be faithful in Christ. Keep trying.

[@hushyermouthlady4933]

I feel these words to the very core of my being. Here while the world is in commotion, everyone quarentined in the midst of global pandemic, earthquakes and hurricanes happening despite it all, my biggest fear is not being spiritually prepared enough to recognize the Saviour when he comes. I don't want to be someone that misses it, so to speak. The next time he comes it won't be in a blaze of glory for the whole world to witness, but rather we are told He will come like a thief in the night, quietly and in the shadows where only those who are like Him will see him as he is and know him. I want to know when He has come. I want to be so prepared that I feel it before I see it. Let the Earth shake and the plaques come, these things don't frighten me. What frightens me the most is my own weakness that coaxes me to fall asleep when I need to stay awake.
