Building the 7 Year Tribulation Timeline - 2 of 2

1. ORDER OF EVENTS AT THE NEW JERUSALEM - 

In summary, the order for events at New Jerusalem seems to be this: 

1. (40) The Anti-Christ makes war and persecutes the Saints for 3.5 years.  (41) During that time he will persecute, destroy then desecrate at least one temple in America.  This causes many to apostatize. (42) It will seem like the Salt Lake Temple won’t be able to get dedicated, but it will happen as President Nelson prophesied, I go into more detail towards the end.  (43)

2.  The 10 Kings are doing their secret combinations and the Harlot gets drunk off “the blood of the Saints.” (44)  Somewhere around here, a “desolating sickness shall cover the land.” [D&C 45:31]  (45) The Saints await the call to flee.  Those who are prepared and are obedient to the Prophet’s call, will successfully flee from their homes in “Babylon.”  [D&C 63:34]  Why should we flee?  Because God is about to bring destruction to Babylon.  (This is the literal wheat harvest event, the separation of wheat from the tares [D&C 86:3], the parable found in [Rev. 12:13-17] and the parable of the 10 Virgins- those who miss this call will be scattered.) (46) Here we will be hidden in the places “prepared for us” from the Anti-Christ who is actively looking for us; to murder the Christians who refused to worship him.  We’ll be camping outside in the wilderness just like the Israelites temporarily and we know that Christ will take care of us just as He did for them.  We know that the Church owns quite a bit of property and there are many reports that they’ve been adding wells all over, even in places in the middle of nowhere.  Just a curiosity.  

3. When that is over, we will be told to flee to where the New Jerusalem will be built in Independence, Missouri, but Christ tells us not to make haste this time [3 Nephi 21:29].  Just as with the Israelites, that great throng of people, Christ will be there in a “cloud of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night” to protect us and he will feed us.  By now there will already be much destruction as the Anti-Christ will have full control over America and the world at this point.  

4. When we get to Independence, Missouri, we’re told there won’t be much remaining of the old city.  Here we will build and Christ will instruct each one of us. (47)  We don’t know how He will do it, but He’s God and He always has a plan. [CotL pg. 123]  Joseph Smith taught that Christ wouldn’t come until both the New Jerusalem temple and the Jerusalem temple are built. 

5. So then we need help building because time is short.  The Harlot has been judged and New York is destroyed.  Now the SIGN of the gathering to New Jerusalem has been given.  The remnant of the Tribe of Joseph comes to the city next and helps us to build that great Temple Complex, the Lost 10 Tribes are preparing to leave but await their second sign. The Tribe of Manassah are the Native Americans and descendants of the Lamanites people from the B.o.M. and they have their own prophecy.  When the war breaks out in America and their reservations no longer hold them, many will be quite fierce and participate in the fighting and destruction.  Those who refuse to fight, will join us in building Zion.  [CotL pg. 151-156] A stream of good people seeking refuge will flow to the New Jerusalem [CotL pg. 97], we will be constantly bringing them in, it says.  It will be the ONLY safe haven in America because soon Christ will be there.  

6. While we’re busy building the city, the Anti-Christ on the other side of the world has desecrated the temple at Jerusalem. (48)  Israel flees.  A remnant eventually gets barricaded inside Jerusalem.  The two witnesses protect them for the next 3.5 years. (49) 

7.  Michael comes to Adam-Ondi-Ahman, (50) every prophet who has ever lived will be there to personally give their keys back to Christ, thus fully restoring His “dominion, glory and kingdom.”  [Daniel 7:14]  Satan’s dominion is taken away, (51) though the damage is already done, the hearts of the wicked are already turned away from God. 

8.  It’s time to meet the Bridegroom! (52)  Those who do not have their white wedding garment [Matthew 22:2–14] (which represents righteousness [Rev. 19:8],) are turned away from the wedding and the feast.  I believe that this is also representative of our Temple recommends.  You have to have one in order to attend a Temple dedication and I believe this is when Christ comes to accept and dedicate His temple from which He will personally reign, just like He did in Kirtland, Ohio of 1836.  Then Christ receives His new name which is, “The Word of God.” [Rev. 19:12-13]  Inheritances in the new city are given to the Saints based on the giving of tithing.  [CotL pg. 130][Numbers 33:54][D&C 85:7-9]

9.  At some point the Anti-Christ who is back home in America, hears news on our whereabouts and that we’ve built a city and he will bring his army to destroy it.  [Daniel 11:44]  

10.  Then Christ, wearing white and red, His army destroys (53) this Anti-Christ, the beast, and their army using only His word.  The remaining beasts are allowed to live (54) for the next 3.5 years though their dominion has been taken away.  All nations are broken up, not destroyed, but governments are probably thrown down.  

11. [D&C 133:20-30] Christ is now ready to usher in the “Great Tribulation” by opening the 7th Seal (55) as [Revelation 5:5] says that Christ is the only one found who can unseal these seals of time and historically, any time a new dispensation seal is opened, there is always a great calamity that accompanies it.  John in Rev. 8 shows us some of these calamities that happen after 7th seal is opened and according to [D&C 77:13], everything from Revelation 9 also happens AFTER the 7th seal is opened. 

After the 7th seal is opened, there is a half-hour of silence (56) in heaven. [Rev. 8:1]  It says Christ then stands over all these various places over the earth and uses his voice, that all will hear, to call a storm & earthquake, felt all over the world which is so great, that it completely changes the landscape and brings the continents back together. (57) This is the sign the Lost 10 Tribes are waiting for to begin their travel over the new geography and to the New Jerusalem.  (58) Those who dare to come against them become a “prey” to them. They will have their own prophet and scriptures to bring to us. [CotL pg. 161-165].  

12.  There is one last great missionary call that we know happens during the Great Tribulations.  These are the 144k elders. (59) 12k are chosen from each of the 12 tribes of Israel.  Who are these elders?  We know that they are virgin men with no guile  [Rev. 14:4, 5], they have gone through tribulation and have received their robes of white, [Rev. 7:14] and they will be a last warning call to the inhabitants of the world in the last days before the earth is cleansed with fire. [D&C 1:2-10]  [Rev. 14:4] “These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.”  [D&C 77:11] says, they are “high priests” who are ordained by the angels to whom is given power over the nations of the earth, to bring as many as will come to Christ.  In other words,after they do their work, there will be no one who does not know who Christ is.  There will be no excuses for why they haven’t repented and come unto Christ.  [CotL pg. 171-175]  

13.  There will be many awful things that will happen to the wicked during this period of the “Great Tribulations.”  There are a few purposes for this [D&C 29:17]:  1. To get the wicked to repent, 2. To destroy the wicked who still refuse to repent and 3. For Christ to show His power to all the world.  There will be absolutely NO question about who is King during these last 3.5 years.  I’m just going to go over the most notable calamities during this timeframe in no particular order. 

First, we have the great hailstorm, with some hail being the size of a “talent” (around 75 pounds for a Hebrew talent or roughly 57 pounds for a Greek talent, thanks Google AI!)  [Rev. 16:21] There are many plagues spoken about that will beset the wicked in these days [D&C 29:16-17]. (60)  We have everything from the plagues of Egypt, like the water turning to blood, locusts, fire and brimstone stuff to a particularly nasty one where their skin, eyes and tongue falls off so they cannot blaspheme God anymore. [D&C 29:17-19] Yikes.  

Next we have the 7 Trumpets and the 7 Vials of Wrath.  [Rev. 8][Rev. 16]  (61)  

Trumpet 1:  There is hail and fire mingled with blood, the third part of trees are burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.  

Trumpet 2:  A great mountain burning with fire is cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood. The third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships are destroyed.

Trumpet 3:  A great burning star falls from heaven and it fell upon the third part of the water.  The name of the star is called Wormwood, and many men died due to the poisonous water.

Trumpet 4:  A third part of the Sun, moon and stars are smitten.  This makes the day and night ⅓ darker.

Trumpet 5:  [Rev. 9:1-11] An angel comes with a key and opens the “bottomless pit” which releases a cloud so great that it darkens the sun.  This cloud is made of creatures that look like locusts and sting like scorpions.  They are commanded not to kill, only torment those who do not have the seal of God.  (Get your temple recommend!)  This goes on for 5 months to the point where the wicked will “seek death” but “shall not find it,” and “shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.”

Trumpet 6:  The 4 angels which are bound at the bottom of the Euphrates river are let loose.  They and their armies of fiery horsemen slay ⅓ part of men for a year, a month, a day and an hour.  John says that even after all these things that he saw many of the wicked still refuse to repent!

Trumpet 7:  When the 7th angel sounds his trumpet, the mysteries of God shall be finished and there “is time no longer.”

[Rev. 16]

Vial of Wrath 1:  Terrible sores on those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped the beast.

Vial of Wrath 2:  The sea becomes blood, every living thing in the sea dies.

Vial of Wrath 3:  The rivers and fountains of waters become blood for the wicked to drink, to remind them of all the blood of the Saints they have shed.

Vial of Wrath 4:  The sun is given power to scorch men with fire, a great heat.  And they blasphemed God, still refusing to repent and give glory to God.

Vial of Wrath 5:  The kingdom of the beast is covered in a great darkness that brings pain and sores.

Vial of Wrath 6:  This vial completely dries up the Euphrate river.  Frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, the beast and the Anti-Christ to prove to them and the world that God is in control and that their power is false.

Vial of Wrath 7:  God declares “it is done,” fierce storms come, earthquakes, a great hailstorm and the 2nd Coming commences.

2. WORKING BACKWARDS WITH HISTORY - 

Well, we have finished most of the timeline, though we have a few really awesome things to go over.  Once I got to this point, I realized that we really didn’t seem to know much about what is to happen during the first half of the 7 years.  I came across Elder Holland’s video he posted on Facebook about the Kirtland Temple, back around June 8th of last year.  Towards the beginning of his video, he says this:

“One of the most important locations, in all the history of the Church - and in that fact, I think in all the history of any dispensation, marvelous little Kirtland, Ohio.” - President Holland, June 8, 2025

As I ruminated on this thought, I wondered if there could possibly be any parallels I could draw from this.  Of what we know about what happens with Christ at the New Jerusalem; this meeting of the Bridegroom in white, the feast with bread, which is obviously a temple ceremony and sacrament, prophets coming to give keys back to Christ, the power of heaven being there… If I had to choose one event that was the most alike, it would be the Pentecost at the Kirtland temple in 1836.  I found this article, “The Kirtland Temple – ‘A Pentecost and a Time of Rejoicing’” written by Karl Ricks Anderson on September 24, 2021 and I highly recommend you read it, it’s not very long but I link everything I can in my article.  It has great information and dates of the things that happened that year.  Following many years of terrible persecution and tribulations, these Saints had been sanctified in their suffering.  Around the beginning of the year, the Prophet Joseph Smith had prepared the Saints spiritually to receive these manifestations of God.  

It turns out that this day of Pentecost wasn’t just confined to one day, but all year long, there were many experiences and manifestations to thousands of Saints but the greatest ones happened sever al times in many church meetings inside the Kirtland temple. My ancestor, Lorenzo Snow was one of the thousands of witnesses to many things that happened over that year which include: “the gift of prophecy—the gift of tongues—the interpretation of tongues—visions and marvelous dreams were related—the singing of heavenly choirs was heard, and wonderful manifestations of the healing power, through the administrations of the Elders, were witnessed. The sick were healed—the deaf made to hear—the blind to see and the lame to walk, in very many instances.”

On the 3rd of April, 1836, the Savior appeared to Joseph and Oliver Cowdery and approved of the temple. (62) This same day, they saw and received priesthood keys from ancient prophets who held those keys: Moses, Elias, and Elijah.  This receiving of keys sounds an awful lot like what happens at Adam-Ondi-Ahman, (so notice that I added “April 3” there.)  Joseph Smith declared this a day of Pentecost and celebrated it as a year of Jubilee.  Now, the Jews have been unable to count or observe the Jubilee year since about 150 years before the destruction of the first temple.  It’s supposed to happen every 50th year but no one knows when it is.  However, we do know that it will be a year right after a Sabbath year, we just don’t know which Sabbath year.  Now the Jews absolutely keep count of the Sabbath years and the next one starts on September 20, 2028 - September 9, 2029.  (63) 

I feel like us leaving society behind as we know it, when that wheat harvest comes and we remove ourselves from Babylon… I feel like that is very symbolic for that Sabbath year.  Here, we have removed ourselves from Babylon, we’re resting and hiding in the wilderness, resting from modern society, bills, the rat race and we’ve now given our lives fully into Christ’s hands for preservation.  Then afterwards, our land that is to be Zion will be returned to us.  If Christ does indeed come to New Jerusalem around March - April of 2030 as I have it on this timeline, then that would fit with the Jubilee year which ends on September 28, 2030. (64)  What would be a greater reason to celebrate than Christ’s return!? 

Something else that’s fun to think about in regard to this year of Jubilee.  In ancient days, the year of the Jubilee could ONLY be observed and sanctified if all 12 tribes of Israel were living in their allotted portions of land in Israel.  Now obviously America isn’t Israel, however, since Christ will live there with us in Zion, and we are all part of Israel, (we get that tribe information in our Patriarchal blessings) that becomes a holy land, hence why we will call it Zion, the New Jerusalem. 

Would it be possible to have all 12 tribes represented there to properly call the Jubilee?  The tribe of Joseph will be there, (that’s Manassah and Ephraim).  We know the lost 10 Tribes will come and the only 2 Tribes of Israel that aren’t “lost” are Judah and Benjamin which are in Israel, so we wouldn’t have those two present.  Or would we?  Apparently, many Hebrew Israelite groups believe that the people brought to the Americas from West Africa during the transatlantic slave trade (also known as African Americans) are the direct descendants of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi.  If that’s true then we would have all 12 Tribes represented in Zion.  God’s plan is perfect.

Christ’s triumphal entry is thought to have happened on the 10 of Nisan. (65) For us on the Gregorian calendar, that would be anywhere from March-April depending on the year.  In 2030, that day lands on April 13th and the number 13 is a very significant and positive number in Judaism, representing the 13 covenants with God and a boy’s Bar Mitzvah which happens at age 13.

So you can see how I’ve lined up those events from church history with the events at the New Jerusalem.  If April 1836 Kirtland, Ohio is our April 2030 New Jerusalem, then let’s work backwards and see what else we get, maybe we’ll see a little foreshadowing, I don’t know.  And by the way, if anyone finds something else that is interesting to place anywhere on the timeline, come and share it in the comments, I would love to hear different ideas!

We know that we have scripture that has been sealed, lost or unable to be written that needs to be restored in the last days.  In July of 1835, there’s a fun story about a traveling merchant, Michael Chandler, who had brought four Egyptian mummies and several papyrus scrolls to Kirtland.  After identifying their value and raising some funds, Joseph Smith purchases the scrolls.  They were translated into what we now know to be the Book of Abraham as part of our scriptures.  (66)

Around November the year before that, the Saints had received the letter of expulsion from the Missouri government.  No justice was to be had from the mobs that had robbed, murdered and pushed the Saints from city to city.  (67)

February of 1834, the most notable event was Zion’s Camp.  This was a group of roughly 200 people who marched about 900 miles with the purpose of helping out their fellow Saints who had been expelled from Jackson County, Missouri.  (68)

From July to November of 1833, the Saints had experienced some of the most severe persecution in their history.  In July, the leaders were forced to sign a document promising to leave the county by the following spring.  Despite this agreement, they were often attacked.  The mob destroyed the Church's printing press and tarred and feathered Church leaders.  Eventually, the mob violently drove the Saints from their homes, making them lose their crops and their land. (69)

On December 25, 1832, Joseph Smith was given the revelation found in [D&C 87], known as the “prophecy on war”.  This prophecy was later fulfilled as promised by God.  Verse 2 says that following the American conflict, "war shall be poured out upon all nations".  That is exactly what happened.  We had the American Civil War, WW1 then WW2.  (70)

3. EZRA’S EAGLE & B.o.M. CROSSOVER - 

Now that we have those established on our timeline, we have two last sections to cover that may shed some light on how that church history may end up being a “type and shadow” or parallels for our near future.  

We’re going to talk about where Trump is on the Ezra’s Eagle prophecy.  I like to think that many people are aware of this prophecy by now in [2 Ezra 11-12] also known as the “Ezra’s Eagle Prophecy”.  (You can read 2 Ezra for free here.)  The basic summary is this:  Ezra sees a vision of a great eagle with 3 heads but the heads are fast asleep.  The Eagle represents America and the long and short feathers represent Kings (or Presidents in this case) and the length of the feathers represents how long each president served in their term.  We can tell which Presidents are which feathers, due to a particular feather that is unusually long, by almost double.  President Roosevelt is the only US President to serve over 12 years.  

Towards the end of the feather line-up, there are 4 feathers left which are now on the right wing and they’re all short.  The first short feather here lines up with Trump.  I remember thinking there was no way he would be a short feather back in 2020, but with a stolen election, he became a short feather.  Ezra is told that the next feather would be shorter than the last.  So then came Biden who obviously had dementia at the very least, and we know he wasn’t in control of his presidency with the whole auto-pen scandal.  We know Biden wasn’t even in the White House for the last 6 months of his presidency.  He was definitely a president for a shorter time than Trump.  It says that last two short feathers just think to rule (so this is an even shorter time than the last President).  Unfortunately, this awakens the 3 great eagle heads and they pluck out and eat these two feathers.  Once those last two short feathers are gone, the three Eagle heads rule in succession over the world with great oppression and fear.  Of course, they fight each other as well, because that’s what the wicked do.  

[In 2 Ezra 12], Ezra is given the interpretation of his vision.  The eagle heads represent the 3 Anti-Christs and secret combinations that will ultimately bring America to its destruction in the last days.  (There is a 4th Anti-Christ more powerful than the others, that’s the Little Horn.  [Daniel 7:8] tells us that this Little Horn had done away with his 3 predecessors [Daniel 7:8], in vying for power.)  Anyway, those last two feathers are Trump and Vance.  In [2 Thess. 2:6-9], there is a person in the way of the Anti-Christ that is keeping him from revealing himself.  Verse 7, the secret combinations are already in the works that will bring about the Anti-Christ but he cannot be revealed until this person is removed. 

This powerful person cannot be God or the Holy Ghost because you cannot remove those.  God could remove the Holy Ghost but man cannot.  So it has to be a person but someone who is very powerful if they are what is keeping the Anti-Christ at bay.  Tell me that’s not Trump.  Who is more powerful than he is right now?  What President in American history has ever done more for Christians and Jews than Trump?  You bet it’ll be Trump that’ll somehow get a Peace Treaty to allow for the rebuilding of the Jew’s temple.  Like him or hate him, agree or disagree, it doesn’t matter, once he’s removed, we get the Anti-Christ.  The 2 Thessalonians scripture matches the Ezra’s Eagle Prophecy AND the B.o.M. timeline parallel with the murder of the Governor, the ruler of the land 4 years before Christ came.  You just can’t make this stuff up, it’s incredible.

1. Now if we do the math, 2 Ezra & BoM Timeline Overlap we could be generous and say that we would expect Trump and Vance to be plucked out no later than mid 2028.  That’s the 6 months when Biden stopped coming to the White House, but 4 years ago.  That would be the maximum length of time that Trump and Vance may have since that would still make them a shorter feather than Biden, which is a requirement to fit this prophecy. 

2. However, since it says that all they had to do was THINK to reign in verse 29 and they were plucked out.  That sounds much shorter, doesn’t it?  Let’s go and compare this to [3 Nephi 7].  We know that in the 30th year AD is when the Governor was murdered.  So let’s find when on our timeline that would be.  Christ came on the 4th day of the 1st month of 34 AD to the templed city of Bountiful.  We don’t know if they used a Jewish calendar or not, but let's see what plays out.  Since we have Christ coming to us at the New Jerusalem, it would place it on Nisan 4, 2030 which is the month that Jewish Kings would have begun their reign.  It’s also the beginning of their religious year.  Then we work backwards by simply subtracting 4 Jewish years.  That is March 19, 2026, the 1st of Nisan.  This date would be the soonest Trump could be “eaten”.  

   
   

3. You can see where these two prophecies overlap, the darkest grey rectangle.  Thus in order to make both prophecies “true”, that overlap is more than likely, the true timeframe.  Meaning, Trump and Vance have until, at maximum, April 8, 2027 until they’re “eaten”.  Maybe Vance will rule for a short time until he’s gone, I don’t know.  One last thing in this regard, is this reminder that according to [Daniel 7:25], the Saints are given into the Anti-Christ hands for 3.5 years, then he’s destroyed by Christ at the New Jerusalem.  So if that’s true, and if my timeline is on track, we will see the Anti-Christ around September 11, 2026, this year which may be the start of the 7 Tribulations.  

   
   

4. My ultimate opinion is that Trump will be “eaten” (71) this August when we have both a Total Solar eclipse and a partial Lunar eclipse in the same month.  I think he will finish making that Peace Treaty with many Nations or something like it around the first eclipse, then get “eaten” by the second.  Charlie Kirk was “eaten” last September.  That month had the opposite: we had a Total Lunar eclipse (which is a true bloodmoon when he was “eaten”) and then a partial Solar eclipse when the Gaza deal was made, two weeks later.  Very sad times we live in, but it also means we’re getting closer to Christ.  

4. PRESIDENT BENSON & COMMUNISM -

There is an incredibly amazing talk given by President Benson at the October 1988 General Conference called “Secret Combinations”.  In a brief summary, he prophesies that America will ultimately perish from within by this conspiratorial communism.  He said, "the object of the Gadiantons, like modern communists, was to destroy the existing government and set up a ruthless criminal dictatorship over the whole land.” 

Prophet Benson was not well loved for his hot takes on Communism and there were Saints who fell away from the church because they felt it was too political.  What’s interesting is that he also prophesied in the same talk that the church needed to heed his warnings about Communism because its members weren’t being against it as much as they should.  He prophesied that if they kept refusing to listen, they may lose the words of the prophets.  

He said, “The prophets, in our day, have continually warned us of these internal threats in our midst–that our greatest threat from socialistic-communism lies within our country. Brethren and sisters, we don’t need a prophet–we have one–we need a listening ear. And if we do not listen and heed, then, as the Doctrine and Covenants states, ‘...the day cometh that they who will not hear the voice of the Lord, neither the voice of his servants, neither give heed to the words of the prophets and apostles, shall be cut off from among the people.”  [D&C 1:14]

His prophecy came true - shortly after this General Conference where he gave this talk, he had a stroke that severely limited his capacity to communicate and never spoke in Conference again.  He passed away in 1994, about 6 years later.  That means there was about 6 years of silence from the Prophet as punishment to a disobedient church.

Why am I mentioning this?  Because it goes on the Timeline, of course.  Communism absolutely comes back.  We already know this.  Parallels 3 - BoM_NJ  It’s also a B.o.M. parallel.  In [3 Nephi 6-7], half of the people who lived in the city ruled by this governor, were so angry with him for wanting to pass judgement on the chief judges who had secretly murdered people who had come to warn the city to repent.  Sound familiar?  It should.  I think that’s Charlie Kirk’s parallel.  What did this faction of the city do in response?  They didn’t care about the murder, they were happy about it.  So much in fact that this whole group of people made a secret pact, a secret combination with each other and with the corrupt judges and lawyers of the land that they would murder their governor of the land so he couldn’t condemn the wickedness any longer.  

You all have ONE GUESS as to what political faction is making this murder pact in our country right now.  We see it every day, the violence, the corruption, the choices that are completely illogical and immoral, they just elected an official in New York who swore his oath on two Qu’ans from a religion that glorifies murder.  They want to do away with that pesky thing called the Constitution and they make up a bit less than half of our country… These are they who conspire and “eat” Trump up.  (72)

5. THE 70 AND THE NEXT 10 YEARS -

My mom sent me this video sometime after I had already made my initial Timeline and posted it to my Facebook page for SignsAndProphecies.com.  I want to share this with everyone.  I was really glad to listen to this message from this General Authority because it helps to validate my Timeline.  

Here’s the link to the video from a channel called, “The Haystack”.  He gets an email from a friend who is allowing him to share this information from a Spanish Stake Conference.  This 70 had told the congregation that they, as 70’s, get to receive personal training from the Apostles in Salt Lake City and that they are forbidden to say much about this training.  He tells this congregation that what he CAN tell them is that the “church is already preparing to receive the Lord” and that there’s “not much time left.”  

The man writing this email says he is one of the branch counselors for that Spanish Stake Conference and that after the main meeting, this 70 met with them privately.  The 70 told them that the “church no longer had plans for after the next 10 years” and that “everything must be fulfilled in this timeframe.”  Then he quotes the President of BYU Pathways, “in 2027, the world was going to be worse,” that the “dedication of the Salt Lake Temple, …president Nelson said would be fulfilled.”  I want to note here that if the Prophet had to prophesy that the dedication would be fulfilled, why would it need a prophesy, unless there was going to be opposition that would try to prevent it from happening?  

“The great majesty of God’s power would be manifested at that moment,” (President Nelson also prophesied about this in General Conference!)  “And when that happens, Satan would throw his final tantrum.  He’ll be very upset because he’ll know that everything is about to be completed.  President Nelson once mentioned that President Oaks would bring everything to a close, and that’s why the scripture says that ‘out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word from Jerusalem.’  That’s why the Lord is calling a lawyer to work with the government's laws because the constitutional laws will soon be challenged or changed.  He also mentioned that before, when an Apostle visited a country, everyone knew, now they come unnoticed and speak with leaders privately, all with the purpose to point to the Second Coming.  I have no doubt that the Savior is hastening His work and the only thing He asks of us was that we not miss any General, district or branch conference because the parable of the 10 Virgins will soon be fulfilled literally.  The door will be closed.”  

This is huge!  Things are quickly coming to a head whether we like it or not, the work will move on to its final stages as the Lord has his work and covenant to fulfill.  The only thing we get to decide is which team we want to play for and if we want to be as safe as we possibly can, we need to have a testimony, a temple recommendation, and complete obedience to the Prophet or we will be swayed and deceived.  The reason why he is asking us to not miss any of our meetings, is because the call to flee and leave our homes will ONLY come from the Prophet.  [CotL pg. 94-95]  Do not listen to anyone else.  There will come many who will pressure and deceive away many to destruction. 

My personal opinion is that the very latest we will stay at our homes will be during the Salt Lake Temple open house.  The dedication is not announced yet and probably won’t be until we’re very close.  Plans may change as chaos abounds.  I believe that the manifestation of God that will happen at the dedication will have something to do with our safety.  Think about it.  The only time God ever manifests His power in such a grand fashion were all moments of life or death.  The only exception I can think of is the Pentecost event that happened at the Kirtland Temple.   Be watching and be ready. 

Our next two Timeline plots go hand-in-hand with the government going into chaos and the rise of the Anti-Christ and Secret Combinations.  Remember that the Anti-Christ sows complete chaos and destruction world-wide.  In 2027 around the time of the Salt Lake Temple open house, and the Anti-Christ desecrating at least one of our temples somewhere, (by the way, if I were the Anti-Christ and I was thinking about which temple to desecrate, I would choose the most precious one to those people, I would choose the Salt Lake Temple, as much as I hate that idea, it makes the most logic.)  We know the Salt Lake Temple shouldn’t get destroyed because it’s prophesied to be there in the millennium.  But we do know there’ll be trouble in getting that temple dedicated because of what a General Authority has told us. 

In the [CotL pg. 42, 172], there will be so much chaos going on in the world, that our missionaries will be permanently brought home. (73) Both President Kimball and Young said, “when the testimony of the Elders ceases to be given …the Lord says to them, “come home; I will now preach my own sermons to the nations of the earth.”  Unfortunately for the world, the Lord’s “sermons” include fire, sword, tempest, earthquakes, hail, rain, thunder and lightning, the sea heaving “beyond its bounds engulfing mighty cities.”  “Magnificent cities sinking into the earth, entombing the inhabitants.”  Famine and invading forces.  We want to be in Zion for those.  Orson Pratt taught that when the Lord calls his missionaries home, “he will also say to his servants - “O, ye, my servants, come home, come out from the midst of these Gentile nations, …they are not worthy… their time is fulfilled.  Seal up the testimony among them and bind up the law.”

This will also permanently close our temples, (74) as Daniel prophesied, our “oblations will cease”.  Now this is just my opinion, but God loves his patterns and symbolism.  I think that around roughly the same time that we lose our temple worship, the Jews will just be beginning theirs on the other side of the earth.  It would be an interesting dichotomy.  The Temple Institute in Israel says that they believe it would take them about 6 months to build the temple when they get the opportunity, so that matches the timeline. 

See, remember how these last 7 years are for the Jews, after 2k years, to finally make recompense for iniquity as spoken of by Daniel?  Once we reach this 7 year period, we move from the “time of the Gentiles” to the “time of the Jews”.  After Christ was crucified, the gospel went out to the gentiles, “the last shall be first and the first shall be last,” right?  I made a video on this Video: Is the time of the Gentiles at an end?  Once the time of the Jews begins again, the gospel is taken away from the Gentiles and given to the Jews.  We don’t know if this is a hard-line stop.  I would assume it will probably have some overlap.  (75) [CotL pg. 42, 188][Luke 21:24]

The switch to the “time of the Jews” opens the way for Israel to build their temple again.  It would be logical to think that this is something that would be part of the agreement for a multi-national peace treaty with Israel.  I can only see this as being possible with Trump and his Board of Peace this year.  (76)

6. THE EZEKIEL WAR - 

I have one last major plot to add to my timeline now.  I’ve saved it for last because it’s something that I feel quite odd about.  I’ll explain why.  It’s tough to put this into words.  There’s just a couple comments from prophets in “The Coming of the Lord” in mention to the war in Ezekiel, okay.  They were under the impression that it is a war for after the millennium or part of the battle at Armageddon.  Out of all my months of research and comparison in preparation for this video, this is perhaps the one that’s weirded me out the most… I think because it feels uncomfortable… to disagree… with a Prophet which is definitely not something I do.  It’s tough to know if they were prophesying or speculating because we hardly have any information on the battle after the Millennium, scriptural or otherwise. 

In [CotL pg. 193, 213], according to President Joseph Fielding Smith, the battle described in Ezekiel happens after the Millennium.  But Elder Gerald N. Lund who compiled the book says that the final battle after the Millennium that ushers in the Celestial earth, will end just as will the one at the end of our 7 year tribulations, with a big battle, they’re destroyed by God and the Terrestrial kingdom is ushered in.  Okay, so that gives us a template.

The problem is, when you actually read about the Ezekiel war in chapter 38 & 39, it just doesn’t seem to work for an after-millennium battle.  Zechariah speaks about the same battle in chapter 14.  The first 11 verses are about the 2nd Coming as shown by the Mount of Olives splitting, but the remainder is obviously all about a very different battle (unless other scriptures are wrong about what happens at the 2nd Coming…)  We see this shift in his vision in verse 12 where now we’re suddenly going back in time and seeing the plagues God had promised to send to those who fight against Israel. 

Parallels 4 - The Ezekiel War  This is my last Parallel slide.  Notice all the similarities between the two books.  There is a time of peace that gets taken advantage of by the army of Gog.  Then there’s a great “tumult” or escalation that causes everyone to fight each other.  In Zechariah there’s definitely some major details missing between verse 13 and 14.  Suddenly we go from a world war, to Israel is out gathering plunder “in great abundance” from this heathen nation that tried to attack them.  Then, what happened between those verses and verse 15 where all the creatures of burden owned by the enemy are all dying of the plague that was given to this army but never mentions the army who made all those camps the animals are in?  Then verse 16 confirms that there was a great army that was destroyed in this passage because now the Lord is warning the “remaining” nations that had come against Israel that they’d better change things around.  He requires them to come and honor Him for the Feast of Tabernacles “year to year”.  And if they don’t, they will not have rain, and if they already have no rain, they will be destroyed by a plague.  The no rain is the only warning they’ll get.

In Ezekiel- chapter 38 is more like an overall summary and chapter 39 has more details.  These many nations think they will come and plunder Israel.  Perhaps WW3 has taken a lot of resources and so they need to come and get rich off of Israel, I don’t know.  The Lord warns Israel to be prepared for this army.  The army is so large, it’s like a cloud and they think Israel’s going to be an easy target.  But as they come down to Israel, God removes their power to fight, and they war against themselves, there is plague and fire.  They don’t even seem to really make it all the way to the city before they fall upon the mountain and on the plains, dead. 

In [Ezekiel 39:18-20] he paints this crazy imagery, calling the beast and fowls of the air to come and feast upon this great army till they’re fat and drunk off their blood.  They’ll eat the flesh of the mighty, and be filled at His table with horses and chariots and other creatures, meaning they’ll be eating these warriors and their animals.  So here we have animals of all sorts that are dead along with the army, suggesting that the animals also died of this plague and disaster, just like in Zechariah 14.  Then God allows Israel to plunder this great army in verse 10.  He says it will be a day of renown, everyone will know all about it.  This gives great glory and honor to God in this mighty show of power in full view of all Nations so that “the heathen may know me”, meaning it will also convert many people, even people from those Nations that had fought against Israel.  

Both of these battles in Zechariah and Ezekiel are the same, that’s established, they even often reference each other in the scripture links.  Now let’s go over all the reasons why this is NOT the battle after the Millennium nor the battle at Armageddon at the end of the 7 year tribulations.  

1.  Where’s the Mount of Olives?  Where’s the two witnesses?  The army didn’t surround Jerusalem, there was no siege for 3.5 years.  No judgement or “time no longer.”  So it’s not the battle of Armageddon.

2. How about the battle after the Millennium?  We have almost no information on it. Where’s the great clash between Satan’s fallen angels and Michael and his angels?  These two books are clear that these are latter day events. [Ezekiel 38:8, 16] 

3. [Zechariah 14:14]  We also have zero mention of the Feast of Tabernacles, Nations coming year to year, Israel doesn’t fight the army or plunder at Armageddon either.  The army doesn’t fall dead suddenly and they certainly don’t burn bodies in either battle of Armageddon or After the Millenium in what little info we have.  And why would they?  God burns the whole earth, He does it for them.  There is no more time after that and nothing left until we are given a renewed earth.  So it’s not Armageddon and there’s no mention of any of these things happening after the Millennium.

4. Zechariah and Ezekiel make it clear that there are still many nations that exist after this battle, since they now have to come to Jerusalem every year to honor Christ and know of His great power.  The problem with that is before the Millenium reign commences, Christ says He makes an end to all nations, because the earth is His nation now, as in 1 nation, literally under God, indivisible as in, cannot be divided.  [Jeremiah 30:11]  The earth at that point will also be one landmass according to [D&C 133:22-25], so what borders will be left?  [Isaiah 65:17] says that when we get a new heaven and a new earth at the 2nd Coming, “the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”  So how would we even remember our previous nations to fight for them?

5. Quite clearly this passage in [Ezekiel 39:9-16], goes into great detail how there will be so many weapons from that army, that Israel will burn their weapons of war for 7 years and bury their bodies for 7 months with an official burial team.  The passage even tells us where in Israel they will bury these bodies, which is “Hamon-gog” which is on the east side of the Dead Sea.  The battle of Armageddon supposedly takes place west of the Sea of Galilee in Megiddo.  Then travelers will come and mark the places they find bones so as to notify the burial team.  I feel like this is way too specific to be symbolic.  Why bother to do any of that if Christ is just going to burn the whole earth?                                                                                                                                               

6. And finally, at the end of [Ezekiel 39:23-29], the Lord is detailing His promise to Israel, that in the future, after they have finished bearing their shame and tresspasses, that He will gather them safely and hide “His face” from them “no more”.  This promise of cleansing Israel is fulfilled ONLY at the end of the 7 years when Christ comes and rescues his people, according to Daniel.  So unless Israel somehow crucifies Christ after the Millennium and falls under condemnation again, I don’t see how this would be relevant.

So what do we do now with this battle?  It’s obviously some sort of big battle in Israel that takes place in the last days but not very many people talk about it or they also believe it’s the battle of Armageddon.  It needs to be added to the timeline.  The only clue it really gives us for any specific amount of time is that it took 7 years for them to burn the weapons of war.  Time is running out, so if this battle is going to happen, then the latest it can be fulfilled is at the start of the 7 tribulations or it might happen sooner.  It’s weird to think there would be a battle like this in the next 10 months.  I may have to see that one to believe it, that sounds pretty crazy.  (77)  

I had stumbled upon an interesting scripture while I was researching this war.  I was reading [Ezekiel 38:16] but when I got to verse 16, Ezekiel, is prophesying to Gog that they will come and attack Israel, that it would be in the “latter days”.  When you click on the scripture link for “latter days,” it takes you to [Jeremiah 30:24] which says, “The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.”  

In this chapter of Jeremiah, He’s telling Israel that He will be coming back home to restore His people, that He will come and protect them from those who would come against them.  Verse 18 says, “behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents,” please note here that the JST for this same phrase is found in [Ezekiel 39:25] which is, to “restore Jacob from exile,” not put them in exile.  Then he says that Christ will have mercy on their dwelling places and that (JST - the citadel shall stand in its right place.)  That’s the JST for “palace”.  Well, a citadel can mean fortification or a royal structure.  I believe this is speaking about the temple in Jerusalem being built again because this chapter’s theme is Christ restoring His people which cannot happen until the temple is built.  Verse 16, he says that Israel will “devour” those who try to “devour” her, they who try to “spoil” or plunder Israel, Israel will plunder them.  That sounds just like the war in Ezekiel!  Remember, Israel plunders that great army that comes. 

If we go to Jeremiah 31, first of all, it’s worth the read because it mentions the Tribe of Jacob, the Lost 10 Tribes and Ephraim specifically.  He even talks about how Ephraim, will travel to the New Jerusalem.  But if we look at [Jeremiah 31:38-40], they are the same scripture from [Zechariah 14:10] and describe how Israel’s borders will be restored to them again in the last days, even the “whole valley of dead bodies and ashes.”  A valley of dead bodies?  Like the ones mentioned in Zechariah and Ezekiel?  Could it be that Jeremiah 30-31 is referencing the aftermath of the Ezekiel war?  This piece of info is worth repeating - In [Ezekiel 39:11] says these dead bodies are buried in The valley of Hamon-gog which is on the east side of the Dead Sea, whereas the battle of Armageddon supposedly takes place in Megiddo which is west of the Sea of Galilee. 

Okay so real quick, if we go back to that scripture in [Jeremiah 30:24], remember, it says, “The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart?”  Now we’ve already gone over what Christ’s work is; this “intent of His heart”, which is to fulfill His covenants to His people and finish His work which is a full cleansing and restoration of His people and the earth.  That means the wicked will finally have to be dealt with.  So Christ is telling us here that His public show of His power and wrath which hasn’t really been seen since Old Testament times, will make a “comeback” in the later days when He makes it happen.  He often refers to this destruction of the wicked as “trodding the winepress"

So I researched how to make wine with a winepress and here’s what I found: Winepress 2  Apparently, different types of grapes have to be pressed differently.  For example, red grapes versus white grapes.  Christ always compares the wine flowing from this winepress to blood.  So I went with the red grape process.  They take the red grapes and do 1 continuous press.  At 3 different intervals of this same press, called cycles, the pressure is increased each time but so it also takes more time to press, if you’re making quality wine, that is.  I noticed that there are 3 major wars that will happen in the last days where Christ Himself will fight and we have now added them to our timeline.  I also noticed that with each battle, the longer and fiercer the battle happens to be. 

There’s a great many fermented grapes out there that need to be crushed and the Lord will do it and His work will be finished.  I often ask myself, is it a coincidence that all of these things just seem to line up?  I’ll present it to you and you can decide for yourself.  Of course, we believe that we should pray over all things, and this shouldn’t be any different.  

7. 7 TRIBULATIONS & 8TH DAY OF JUDGEMENT 

I want to end my video message with this:  everything leads back to the Temple.  The Jewish festival of Hanukkah literally embodies this.  (I bet you didn’t think I’d be talking about Hanukkah, but stay with me.)  The Greeks had tried very hard to hellenize the Jews, of course, to no avail. It came to a head when the Seleucid King Antiochus IV Epiphanes defiled the temple by rededicating it to Zeus and sacrificing a pig, etc).  The Maccabeans led their revolt and reclaimed their temple.  They rebuilt the temple altar and rededicated this temple on the 24th of Kislev (which is usually around our Christmas).  Then of course there was the miracle of the oil that burned for 8 days.  This is how Hanukkah was born!  

• Hanukkah is full of symbolism, particularly the 8th and last day of Hanukkah which is called “Zot Hanukkah”.  While it is not technically a high holy day, it is considered a powerful spiritual culmination and judgement - the last opportunity for repentance, and a final chance for spiritual rededication.  A day that "seals" the spiritual work of the preceding High Holy days and foreshadows the ultimate redemption of the Messianich era (or the Second Coming).  

• 12 Tribes Represented:  In ancient times they used this “chamber of hewn stone” which was half inside the temple and half without, part hewn stone to represent law, the unhewn to represent divine purity.  This chamber had access to the great altar area.  This final day of Hanukkah is when the Jews read about how each of the leaders of the 12 tribes came and gave an offering for each of the 12 days of the temple dedication.

• Covenant Circumcision:  A covenant is made via circumcision on this 8th day and represents their challenge to go beyond how we were created and take charge of the completion of our physical and spiritual form.

• There are two types of Menorah’s.  There is the 7 branch Menorah 7 Branch Menorah which is only allowed to be used in the Temple.  So, there is an 8 branch Menorah that is used inside Jewish homes to be used for the ritual of Hanukkah.  8 Branch Menorah  When you see this image, you’ll say, “this doesn’t have 8 branches, it has 9.”  Oh contrair, this 9th candle that stands in the middle, above the others is called the “helper” candle” and it always stays lit.  This represents our Messiah.  He is the light in the darkness.  Our constant.  

• Menorah 0  As of course most people know that the Jews light one candle every night.  Menorah 0.5  They do this to drive away the “darkness” which represents sin.  As the days progress, the brighter and stronger the light is, the closer we are to the Messianic Era or the Second Coming until finally, at judgement on the 8th day, we are perfected.  

• Night 1: Beginning, small acts, hope.  Menorah 1

• Night 2: Community strength, togetherness. Menorah 2

• Night 3: Gratitude for freedom.  Menorah 3

• Night 4: Family traditions and connections, passing down stories.  Menorah 4 Menorah 4.5 Now we come to the midst of the 7 years when Christ comes:

  Revelation 1

  12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

  13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

  16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

• The Fifth Day:  of Hanukkah, which can never be Shabbat, represents a great darkness relative to the other nights. Thus, the fifth light of the Chanukah candle has the unique task and power to illuminate and instill spirituality even in such a time of darkness.  Menorah 5

• The Sixth Day:  the number of man, symbolizes humanity's role in spreading light and faith, representing the disciples or followers carrying the divine message, the power of human resolve, and bringing God's light to all nations, emphasizing themes of righteous action, provision, and the family unit as a foundation for society.  (This day also coincides with the winter solstice which is the shortest day and longest night of the year, marking a turning point from darkness to brighter days.)  Menorah 6

• The Seventh Day:  is God’s number of holiness and represents our step towards completion and spiritual perfection, where the increasing light brings clarity, revelation, and deeper understanding, representing the world's spiritual core within the physical.  Menorah 7

• The Eighth Day: Represents divine perfection or going beyond the natural, physical world (seven days) into a realm of miracles and divine connection.  Menorah 8 Menorah 8.5

DAY OF JUDGEMENT:  this 8th day is the last “seal” of our judgment from Yom Kippur.  The Messianic Era has come and Christ reigns.

How wonderful is that?  Is it just coincidental that this Hanukkah candle timeline also matches exactly - the symbolism and the numbers - to the Jew’s last 7 years of tribulations?  Perhaps it’s a hidden timeline!

If you made it this far, I thank you for watching.  It is my hope to raise awareness for what is coming to us in our near future.  The future can be bright with Christ at our helm if we allow Him to change us and take His light upon us.
