Talk of Him - EP 49 - Nahum; Habakkuk; Zephaniah

fiery, but Elder Maxwell said that the Lord God in the midst of the is mighty he will save he will rejoice over you with joy he will rest in his love he will rejoice over you with singing This is Zephaniah 3 17. the elder Maxwell's quote yes, there will be a heartbreaking polarization on this planet, but also the remarkable reunion with our colleagues in Christ from the city of Enoch. Yes, nation after nation will become a house divided, but more and more unifying houses of the Lord will honor this planet and this I mean all the money, quote here, if you are ignoring us and vacuuming.

I don't even know why I said that, but please listen. I love this on those tough days when it feels like it's just destruction is in my soul, right, Elder Maxwell said yes, Armageddon is coming, but so is Adam on the diamond. I love that and President Nelson recently promised that in the coming days we will see the greatest manifestations of the power of the savior that the world has. never seen from now until the time when he returns with power and great glory, he will bestow countless privileges, blessings and miracles on the faithful and I would just say: are we seeing those miracles even with the fires, even with the famines, even with the wars?

Even with the division, even with the burdens and the heaviness, we are seeing the adamondium experiences in the midst of Armageddon, it will not be as a separate group, we will be in the midst of that and I think what a great week. may you like to have that conversation and concentrate on journaling and

talk

ing about it with your friends because we are all dealing with the heaviness that we hear regularly that when Jesus Christ returns and begins his Millennial Kingdom, Satan will be bound. right and there are several ways in which that is possible, you know through the scriptures and the prophetic teachings that we have been taught in various ways that Satan is bound and limited in his power and influence over us.

Elder Christopherson says this in 2019 in his speech preparing for the return of the Lord He says that when Jesus Christ comes oppression and injustice will not only diminish, poverty and suffering will not only diminish, they will disappear, even the pain and sadness of death will disappear, let us do all we can to alleviate suffering and sadness now and dedicate ourselves more diligently to the necessary preparations for the day when pain and evil will completely end, when Christ will personally reign over the Earth and the Earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory and so many beautiful things.

I look forward to it and, if I could, I suppose this would be the best time to, as we go through the next few weeks,

talk

about the second coming, just to draw our attention to how interesting it is in our vernacular culturally speaking, how we make. It sounds like when Jesus comes again it's over, you better be ready when he comes because then it will be the final judgment, yes, whether we say those words or not, that's the feeling we convey, of course, and we talked about it with the Givens , a thousand years ago, how have we done it? we lost hope of the millennium oh we lost focus on it it's like we went straight from jesus christ coming yeah i'm here oh no more opportunities for growth they're learning made for eternity yeah how did that happen but just With Hopefully, over the next few weeks our understanding is a kind of awareness of the reality of the impending millennial reign of Jesus Christ that settles in our hearts and gives us hope, so maybe a couple of verses to finish, okay, on hope, um Zephaniah 3 15.

Speaking metaphorically of us his children and how we will experience his love when he returns the Lord has taken away your judgments he has cast out your enemy cut off Satan the king of Israel even the Lord is in the midst of Eve You will not see There is no more evil, uh Zephaniah 3 9 11-17 because then when he comes again, I will convert the people. Will I turn people into a pure language? I love that pure language so that you can call on the name of the Lord to serve Him. a consent on that day You will not be ashamed of all your works look that is not so beautiful because remember that all the captives he is setting free in the scriptures are those who have willingly rebelled against him in almost every scenario and have suffered for it but he says these wonderful promises you will not be ashamed for everything you do the shame will disappear yes the shame will disappear in that you have transgressed against me because then I will remove from your midst those who rejoice in your pride and you will no longer be haughty because from my Holy Mount verse 17 the Lord your God is mighty in your midst he will save he will rejoice over you with joy he will rest in his love he will rejoice over you with singing I simply believe that healing is in everyone's future, yes, and If I could say that again, I think that is the message of the imminent Second Coming, healing is in everyone's future and that gives me a lot of hope.
