This was written by an unknown mother of seven children.

Preface

I am writing some thoughts that have come to my mind over the past two days following Denver’s post on 2/18/2015 entitled “Babylon.”  I do not share these ideas with firm conviction that this is “the way it is”, nor would I say these are the result of  “pure intelligence” flowing into me as I have experienced on occasions while studying the scriptures.  But, I can say that I did ask the Lord several months ago, in the most sacred manner I know, to teach me the meaning, if He indeed has one, of the four blood moon and solar eclipse signs in the heavens being given at this time.  He did not answer me.  I figured this meant they either mean nothing, or it isn’t meet for me to know at this time. The response to my petition was complete silence, that is, until I read Denver’s post.  The following is what has come into my mind in the last 36 hours since reading it.  Take it for what it’s worth.  I have not read Val Brinkerhoff’s information, so this may be a complete contradiction of his work…I do not know.  I am aware of some of the “talk” on the internet with Rabbi Cahn and some of the other Christian preachers, which is how I became aware of the current “signs” in the heavens.  To my knowledge, my conclusions are probably mine alone and probably totally off the mark, so take it with a grain of salt. I am no expert.  This is not a researched religious/scriptural paper, hence I stop short of really dissecting things in the manner I’d like and further study may even prove that there are serious errors. These are merely the ponderings of a busy mother of seven. Finally, these ideas are written for my own benefit and in a manner as if I were trying to teach it to my family.  Perhaps some few others who share the common belief that Denver Snuffer is in fact, a messenger/servant of the Lord and have interest in the topic will also read it. To any others, it would be jibberish.

My Thoughts

On February 18, 2015, Denver posted the following:

BABYLON

The God of Heaven tells me all the world should pray that Baghdad does not fall.

Posted by Denver Snuffer at 7:21 AM

Within hours, it hit me, that the Lord has been administering some very orchestrated signs and warnings for us. It is His frequent and dependable use of “patterns” that opened my mind to what I will share. To start off, though, look at the following well-dispersed diagram regarding the current signs in the heavens people are attempting to interpret. Be very familiar with the dates, as I will refer to them throughout the paper.

It donned on me, that Denver’s warning from the Lord, is actually a call to repentance for all the world, particularly the Christian believers, and that it was, in fact, also, directly connected with these events being testified of in the heavens.

The pattern that opened my mind was that found in 3 Nephi directly preceding the coming of Christ to the Nephites.  Like the Nephites, we find ourselves similarly situated in the period of time directly preceding Christ’s final return. Let’s examine the pattern found in the Book of Mormon.

In 3 Nephi 6:9-17, we learn that the Nephites, in one years’ time, have a complete “break-up” of the church. “…The church was broken up in all the land save it were among a few of the Lamanites who were converted unto the true faith.”  Verse 14 and 17 puts the break-up as being across the entire land of the Nephites BY THE COMMENCEMENT of the 30th year.

Quick on the heels of the break-up of the church is the break-up, or ruin of the government.  So close does this occur after the church’s failure, that in some ways they are simultaneous…though the demise of the Church definitely does precede the government.

Chapter 7 tells us that in the same year, the 30th, that the chief judge is murdered (v. 1) and the government is destroyed (v. 2) and that the dissolution of the government was such that in the 31st year they divided into tribes (v. 14).  The next chapter discusses the break-up of the land which occurs, but we will not get into that aspect for this paper. I call these the three “break-ups”…but do not let that word hinder the meaning of what is being conveyed.  I am simply borrowing from the “broken up” word choice used in the Book of Mormon when it describes the church. My intent is not to say the way in which the “break-up” manifested itself then will be the same today, but rather to imply that a break-up infers that the Lord’s covenant promises have been lost to them and they have been cut off from those promises because of their choices to refuse to repent and are now left “on their own”, like a ship without a rudder.

The pattern to notice for my purpose is that the church rejects the Lord and breaks up first, followed quickly by the government of the land and as a consequence of both the church and the government rejection of Christ, they were soon thereafter (about two years later) met with great calamities and destruction and ONLY the more righteous, that heeded the prophets, survived those calamities and destructions.

President Benson said the Lord’s return in our day is going to parallel this 3 Nephi account. In that statement, I believe President Benson was very inspired.  The Lord IS a god of patterns.  Thus, we should expect to see the pattern repeat with the “break-up” of the church closely followed by the break-up of the government in our own day.

Now, the question is…what does that “break-up” look like?  Will it be obvious, or will it be unrecognizable to the typical person in the beginning stages?  Will it be as in the day that John the Baptist wrested the keys from the Jews and they knew it not?  Will the church continue on as an institution seemingly as normal, unaware that they are “broken-up” as far as the Lord is concerned? This is my belief.

My belief, that the modern “break-up” of the church and government go unrecognized by most in the beginning stages, led me to the idea that it is the “break-up” of the church that has already taken place and that the sign of that “break-up” was given in the first two blood moons. Further, it is the “break-up” of our government that is about to be signaled by the upcoming 3rd and 4th blood moons.  The continuing crisis in the Middle East will play an important factor in the consequences that result from these “break-ups” as time proceeds (the details of which are not the topic of this paper), and God’s wrath is unleashed…but the signs of their “break-up” (God’s withdrawal from them) have (1st &2nd blood moons) and are about to (3rd and 4th blood moons) be given in the heavens.

So let’s elaborate on how I think things have and will play out to fit this theory.

Both the church and the government have been drifting from their founding principles for quite some time. A simultaneous apostasy you could say.

As for the church, all readers of Denver are aware of the series of events that led to his excommunication (the “sent” message of repentance having been rejected by the highest quorums of the church).  We now know in hindsight, that the sustaining vote taken on April 5, 2014 had eternal significance and that the Lord confirmed this significance to Denver on May 1, 2014 by appearing to him and basically telling Denver He has said “amen to their priesthood.”

We know, though others are oblivious to it, that the Lord did, on that date (April 5, 2015), execute the “break-up” of the church from His end and halted any hope of it being the continued means by which He was conducting His final work.  We also know that this date was 170 years after Joseph Smith gave his last General Conference address in Nauvoo…making 4.25 (40 year) generations since that time. Allowing the work to now commence again in earnest.

I am coming to believe that the first of the blood moons was very possibly a sign given in the heavens that this severance had occurred and the 2nd moon was further pronunciation of the loss that will be experienced by being severed from the Lord.

The blood moon occurred on 4/15/2014 with maximum eclipse at 1:45 a.m. MST.

This was exactly 10 days after the official conference vote to sustain.  I believe the sign being given 10 days later is key in identifying to whom the sign was intended to speak.

The number 10 is significant.  It is hard to come up with one definitive way of saying what “10” means symbolically.  But it is a perfect number that relates to people that are under covenant with God…that have thus, being under covenant, agreed to be governed by God and His laws (i.e. the 10 virgins are all betrothed or covenanted to the Lord.  Notably, Denver gave 10 talks that were all directed toward members of the church, under baptism covenant at a minimum, and was giving them an opportunity to accept or reject the Lords message to repent and also, if choosing to repent, the message in the 10 talks will soon produce an opportunity to come under covenant with the Lord, again) So for me, it cannot be overlooked that 10 is relating to people under covenant. This points to the LDS.

Looking at the date of the blood moon, we also see the number 10 appearing.  Take 4/15/2014.  Add the 4+1+5 and you get 10.  Add the 2+0+1+4 and you get 7...the number of completion and a number that also correlates with Jehovah, who condescended from the 7th Heaven to redeem us.  Thus, even the date of the blood moon sign has reference to people under covenant (10…the LDS membership) and the Lord, Jesus Christ (7). My interpretation:  Judgment has been executed and “complete” by the Lord and He is cutting off the church, which was supposed to bear His name and know Him, from His power.

Additionally, the sign of the 1st blood moon was visible in the United States.  Not only that, but on the evening of it’s occurrence, the eastern half of the country was under cloudy weather conditions and could not really see the sign.  It was the western half of the country that had perfect skies that night.  It is the western half of the country where the “heart beat” of the church resides.  It is in this part of the country that Denver was instructed to travel and give the 10 lectures. This is more confirmation to my mind that the targeted audience for the sign was the LDS people and it signaled their “break-up” from the Lord being complete.

Significantly, the sign also came on Passover.  Though the LDS don’t celebrate Passover, the symbolism is important.  The Passover represents God’s ability and willingness to protect and save all those that will covenant with Hi and believe in the Lamb of God and are found with that mark upon their house (body).  Whereas He extends this type of promise, blessing and protection for the House of Israel in any generation that obeys Him (including modern LDS)…the blood moon on that day was a sign that He now revokes that blessing upon that portion of Israel known as the LDS church membership. We do not have His promise of the angel of death passing over us, or freedom from bondage that is symbolized in the Passover.

Something else interesting happened on that day (4/15/21014), which begins to connect Denver’s post on Babylon that must not be missed.

At 1:15 a.m. on April 15, 2014… just 30 minutes prior to the maximum eclipse and well into the start time of the developing eclipse…Denver posted a VERY IMPORTANT BLOG and piece to the puzzle.  He posted this:

ABRAHAM’S SONS

Last night I was awakened by this:

Did not Ishmael and Isaac mourn together and bury their father Abraham? Was not their father's blood precious unto them both?

Does not the blood of Abraham run in both Isaac and Ishmael? Does not the blood of Abraham run in both Esau and Jacob?

Let Ishmael today find the blood of his father, Abraham, precious still. Let Isaac likewise today find the blood of his father, Abraham, precious again. For Abraham's sake, let all the brothers who descend from Abraham now mourn when Abraham's blood is spilled by any of his descendants.

If Abraham's sons do not find his blood to be precious still, there remains nothing between them but the shedding of Abraham's blood. For all his sons who fail to find Abraham's blood to be precious will be held to account by God, who will judge between the sons of Isaac and the sons of Ishmael, the sons of Esau and the sons of Jacob for father Abraham's sake, with whom God covenanted.

The sons of Abraham will not be permitted to continue this disregard of their common father's blood without provoking God, who will soon judge between Abraham's sons. [all emphasis mine]

Posted by Denver Snuffer at 1:15 AM

First off, Denver states he was awakened with this information.  I’m assuming this is akin to King Benjamin stating “last night the angel told me…” In other words, he’s not delivering his own message.

The correlation to the Middle East situation is obvious. The sons of Ishmael being comprised mostly of the Arab nations in that region and the sons of Isaac being mostly Israel, Europe, and America. The warning that we must find all the sons of Abraham’s blood to be precious is a great reminder that we should pray and be concerned for all parties involved in the conflict. The warning that they cannot continue their disregard for all being of Abraham’s blood without provoking God to judgment is a no-brainer to any student of the scriptures…but what was significant is that Denver appears to have deliberately waited and timed the posting of that message to coincide with the appearance of the first blood moon.

He received the message the night before the eclipse…that would be Sunday night, what would entail the night of the 13th into the morning of the 14th.

He could’ve posted the information anytime during the day of the 14th.  But he didn’t.  Instead, he waits until 1:15 a.m. on the 15, when normal people sleep…and during the height of the eclipse, to make the post.  I just do not think that was coincidental.  This connection with the Middle East drama becomes pivotal.  I will discuss it more, but for now, with this first blood moon, it seems to be saying that the Lord has cut off, or broken up, His former chosen people, His church, officially on April 5, 2014…but gave the sign of that action 10 days later on the 15 with a blood moon on Passover, signifying he has withdrawn his light and protective hand upon this portion of the seed of Abraham (the church) and that it is going to be through this coming/approaching conflict between the Sons of Abraham’s blood that the judgments and wrath of God will be meted out for our rejection of Christ as our Lord.

Another important idea to be shared, we must also keep in mind D&C 112:23-26 throughout this entire discussion.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face. Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord. And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord; First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord.”

In this we learn that all the vengeance that is going to be heaped upon the earth is going to come so quickly that it will seem as a whirlwind, but also, we see that it will BEGIN upon His house…upon those that professed to know His name, but didn’t.

I believe the scenario I’m laying out fulfills this prophecy.  And I will recap it at the end of the paper.

Next in the chronology of events, we had the 2nd blood moon on October 8, 2014.  This blood moon coincides with the first day of the Feast of the Tabernacles.  This is also known as Sukkot. This celebration begins the 5th day after Yom Kippur and lasts for 7 days. Sukkot is also known as the “Season of Rejoicing.” It is the most joyous of the Jewish celebrations.  It is a “Harvest Festival”, also.  I am unaware of anything significant occurring on that day or around that time, but what came to me as I pondered it, was that this is just a continuation of the sign that was given in April wherein the church is officially being rejected.  The sign of the withdrawal or cutting off or breaking up deepens with the second blood moon. A SECOND WITNESS, so to speak! Sukkot is supposed to be the most joyous time and a season of rejoicing and harvest.  To have a blood moon omen on that day, if my theory is correct, is to say to the church…"you will NOT have rejoicing.  Instead, you will have sorrow and grief.  You will not have fruitful harvest and feast and plenty…but instead, have dearth, famine and a barren wasteland. You will not prosper in the land."

Interestingly, as a side note, it was this very seven day feast that was being celebrated in John 7.  On the last day of the feast, Christ publicly invites people to come unto Him and drink if they thirst, and promises the spirit will flow as living water in them. Agriculturally, Sukkot celebrates harvest.  A bountiful harvest is not possible without sufficient water.  Here, Christ symbolizes Himself as being the source from which to drink this never-ending water, during the very feast that celebrates the idea of a plentiful harvest and abundance and joy.  To then have a blood moon on the first day of Sukkot, to me, is as if the Lord is saying to the church… “You were invited to come and drink.  You refused.  Now, instead of joy, bounty and plenty…you shall be a barren waste.

Continuing with our chronological discussion, we are ready to look at Denver’s latest post.

On Wednesday, February 18, 2015, Denver posted his “Babylon” sentence. “The God of Heaven tells me all the world should pray that Baghdad does not fall.”

Once again, he begins by identifying that these are NOT his words, but the Lord’s.  Once again, a topic related to the Middle East turmoil arises.  Twice now, relating to this topic, he has shared messages that he identifies as coming from the Lord and not his own thinking.  Twice, the message gets posted on significant dates.

This was posted on Ash Wednesday, or the first day of Lent.  This day is celebrated by much of the Christian world.  It’s not an LDS observance…but something geared toward people of the Christian nations. (I think that’s because the LDS have already had our “official” call to repent with Denver’s 10 talks, and for the most part declined.  This call went out to all the world, but also, specifically geared for Christians in general, because they would recognize the connection with Lent and they comprise the ‘gentile nations’ for the most part). Notice that on his post on the “Sons of Abraham”, he waited until 1:15 a.m. in order to post to coincide with the eclipse.  But on Ash Wednesday, he posted at 7:21 a.m….at the start of his day, probably his soonest opportunity to post after having received the message and to be clearly available to read for the entire Ash Wednesday).

Lent is observed for 40 days (not counting the Sundays) prior to Easter.  It will end on APRIL 4, 2015, this year…the exact day of the 3rd blood moon. Forty is symbolic of a time of testing and preparation.  Lent is specifically connected with repentance.  I believe the timing of the Lord delivering the message was signifying a chance for people to prepare by taking the opportunity and invitation to repent.

It is my feeling that the warning about Babylon and Baghdad was to arouse the people to a realization of their awful condition…the precipice upon which we sit. To those of the world [another term for Babylon], you would be wise to turn to God and actually pray…and here’s what you should pray for…that Bagdad won’t fall.  For when it falls [the literal physical city of Baghdad], you will surely shortly come to see that the beginning of the end of Babylon [the spiritual Babylon and whore that we glut ourselves upon] is now upon you.  And all those that love Babylon, the Whore, the Great and Abominable, will rue the day…as all the promised vengeance spoken of in D&C 112 will begin to be unleashed and there will be no turning back. Only those with the blood of the Lamb upon their house [personal tabernacle], who belong to the Church of the Lamb, will be spared. He’s warning that His sermon of calamities and destruction is about to come upon us and the start of it will begin in earnest when Bagdad falls.

A discussion could be had on whether this was a literal call for those who seek for Zion to join in praying that this won’t happen or not, but that is not the point of the paper, so I am not going there. I believe it never hurts to cry unto the Lord in behalf of all His children that He might extend His hand of mercy if possible. But, His signs are being given, and I fear we may be approaching the time where it is past the point of reclaiming those that truly love Babylon.

The next celestial event or sign to occur is the Solar Eclipse on the Vernal Equinox on March 20, 2015…A symbol and time of new life.  Coming out of the December Solstice where light only begins to triumph over darkness; with the equinox we finally reach the point where there is a balance, and then the light grows even greater from that point.  To have a darkening of the sun…symbolic of THE SON, from whom all light comes to us…is symbolic of our current state. It’s a statement, given through a heavenly sign, of where we are as a world. We have (as a church and nation and world), chosen darkness over the light.  We’ve chosen Babylon.  We’ve chosen the wrong master. And whereas we should and could be the beneficiaries of increasing light, as always follows the vernal equinox…we will instead find the light withdrawn.  We will descend into greater and greater darkness (yes, a small group of Zion people will be growing in light…but this sign and message is for those choosing Babylon, and for them…the darkness will only increase from here on out). We have rejected the Lord, and as a consequence, will reap the darkness that results from rejecting the light.

It’s possible some actual negative event will take place on or right near the equinox, but right now, my thinking is just that it is a sign of our literal state of existence on this earth. Rather than celebrating a times of new life and birth and light…the symbol is the opposite….looming death, destruction and darkness for the world.

After the solar eclipse, our next heavenly sign is the 3rd blood moon on the final day of Lent…April 4, 2015 at 6 a.m. MST. This blood moon, I believe brings us back to the pattern we began with.  Just as in 3 Nephi, there were about 12 months between the break-up of the church and the break-up of the government…the same pattern plays out again in our day.

The Church’s break-up was signaled 12 months earlier on April 15, 2014. Now the 3rd and 4th blood moons of 2015 have to do with the rejection of God by the United States as a nation, and His resulting break of the covenant He established with them as a promised land to never be over run by another nation and always be free as long as they worshiped the Lord.

We know the “final straw” of why the church lost its’ favor with the Lord (the Denver scenario)…but what will be the final straw that causes the “break” with our nation that is going to be signaled by the next two blood moons?

Answer: The acceptance of same-sex marriage.

Here’s why I am making a connection between the blood moons and our nation being rejected for accepting this practice as the final straw.

According to SCOTUS (the Supreme Court site) there are going to be four cases heard by the Supreme Court regarding same-sex marriage very soon.  The cases are all against states that still ban the practice.  This, IMO, will be the final ruling on this issue made in our court system, and they will use the 34 state majority (most having been compelled) to justify the complete legalization of same-sex marriage across the entire nation.  The plaintiff’s have until February 27, 2015 to file their written briefs and the states have until March 27 to file their briefs. As of now, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments beginning on APRIL 20, 2015. A decision won’t be given until May or June. These dates are important.

Now, you have to have some respect for number symbolism in order to get what I am seeing, so bear with me.

The 3rd blood moon is on April, 4…which is also the first day of General Conference and the last day of lent. It is, also, right in the middle of the entire Supreme Court same-sex legal process of submitting legal briefs (which occurs before the blood moon) and hearing oral arguments (which occurs shortly after).  That is worth taking notice.  This is a landmark, earth shattering, major change in the trajectory of our nation.  But there is even more significance I found with the dates.

March 27 (the deadline for the briefs) is 8 days before the blood moon sign. Eight is very symbolic…but for means of this paper, I find a connection to God the Father very intriguing, that I will touch on in a minute.  The oral arguments begin 16 days AFTER the blood moon sign is given.  The number 16 is comprised of two 8’s. Also, the actual date of the blood moon is interesting.  It is 4/4/2015.  If you add the 4+4, you get 8 again.  If you add the 2+0+1+5…you also get 8. Add all of them and you get 16, too. This is a lot of “8” going on.

I have learned through some ancient courses I’ve taken, that 8 is a number that represents the 8th heaven, where God the Father lives…His other well-known name among LDS is Ahman.  8 is a number that always represents Ahman (7 corresponds with Jehovah). We also know that Ahman would have a consort…or an equal goddess, whom we would call “Heavenly Mother.”  She would also be signified by the number 8.  You could see how the 16, then, could correspond to both Father and Mother meting out judgment upon the world for the rejection of their Son.  I believe that it is actually required for there to be a connection with the Father (Ahman) on this matter of meting out the final judgments according to scriptural prophecy…so it appears to fit that this number 8 is tied to the sign connected to our nation rejecting Jesus Christ.

Here’s one of the scriptures I’m referring to. 1 Nephi 14:17

“And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel.” (it’s the events of judgment required to be poured out upon the world that the Father commences to enable the final gathering of Israel and the establishment of Zion).

You have to have read lots of Denver to remember his making significant points regarding this topic.  There is a certain point when the FATHER actually begins or commences His work in order to fulfill the covenants.  Christ himself talks about it, also, in 3 Nephi, and even uses the word “sign” to specify that one would be able to know that the work of the Father has begun in the verses. It coincides with a rejection of the fullness if I remember, but I don’t have time to research it. The pertinent chapters are 1 Nephi 14 and 3 Nephi 20 and 21.  If carefully read, you will find that it is the FATHER that even establishes that the gentiles in America should be set up as a free nation…hence, when they reject His Son, it is the Father’s wrath that will be heaped upon them…which enables the final work and covenant to be established that we wait for.  Thus, it fits that the FATHER…symbolized with the number 8…would be connected with the sign of the blood moon signaling America is “broken up” from the promises of God.

Back to 1 Nephi 14:17:  It’s important to note that the point being made in this verse is that “WHEN WRATH IS POURED OUT UPON THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS” …”AT THAT DAY”…the FATHER commences His work. We should then, anticipate that the wrath that Denver’s posts hint at, are to be expected as the prophesied unfolding of the events required to ultimately bring down Babylon, though terrible they will be.

Remember, the mother of harlots is just another name for Babylon. So, Denver’s post begins to fit in quite well, here.  He titled it Babylon, [mother of harlots] and infers that great dread is about to fall upon mankind when Baghdad falls physically, that will eventually bring about all the prophesies regarding the fall of spiritual Babylon.  A day of tribulation unknown to the earth…surely a day of wrath meted out by the Father (and probably His consort, who has equal interest in all that occurs with her children and their refusal to worship her son).

I believe the sign of the blood moon on April 4, 2015 marks the commencement of the Father preparing the way to fulfill all the rest of the things that take place for the final gathering of the House of Israel. And it is the action of our nation…the highest echelons of our government courts…that will be the final straw that is the catalyst wherein we “officially” come under condemnation and merit His refusal to continue to honor the prior covenant that no nation will ever over-power us and that we would remain free, a choice land…so long as we worship Jesus Christ.  The promise is soon to be gone.  We are about to seal our fate with a broken the covenant.  There can be no greater way to signify you have turned your back on God than to go against His very most foundational truth…the union of man and woman…afterall, all that He is as a God is based on this union. The acceptance of this as a nation, merits God removing our blessing and severing us from His protective hand…once again…symbolized on the Passover…when the entire nation of Israel was spared…now the entire nation of America, will NOT have the fortune of His blessings, but will instead meet with His wrath….death and captivity.

Not to belabor the point, but 16 can also be thought of as 1 + 6 = 7. As stated, 7 relates to Christ, who condescended from the 7th heaven, and it also relates to being complete. Hence, one could say that when the Supreme Court hears the cases 16 days after the sign is given, it signifies a “complete” rejection of Christ (7) by this nation and thus, merits the complete “wrath” of Ahman (8) and his holy consort (8) upon this nation.

So, how will the Father mete out this wrath?  Through the conflict between the Sons of Abraham…as Denver as aptly prophesied or forewarned of on dates that fit some sort of connection with the signs in the heavens that are currently being given. I do not know how this will occur, but I’m certain there will be a spillover into all the world and America will soon be embroiled in world war, financial collapse and probably invasion and civil war, along with plagues, pestilence, famine and natural disasters.

The 4th blood moon in September, will probably serve as the same type of sign for our nation as it did for our church. A SECOND WITNESS OR SIGN that the severance has occurred. It also occurs on Sukkot…which should be a time of rejoicing and harvest…and instead, will signify a dearth, a drought of the spiritual waters that give life, and the demise of the nation, where instead of prosperity and wealth, we will experience death, decay, vengeance, lamentation, weeping, wailing and every other tribulation imaginable.  The exact opposite of what Sukkot symbolizes will be our reward as a nation.

It is quite possible that there will be a literal fulfillment begin to unleash in this time frame, too. Perhaps there will be a financial collapse somehow associated with the conflict with the Arab nations. Perhaps that will not be seen immediately, or perhaps it will…I do not presume to have any idea…but I do believe it sets in stone that such lamentation and sorrow will be our fate for having rejected Jesus Christ and incurred the wrath of His Father.

If Bagdad falls soon, then all mankind can know for certain, that the end of Babylon is now beginning and the Father’s final work is beginning in earnest.  If I am correct in my assessment, it fits many scriptural passages. We will actually have much to look forward to amidst the trials.  While all of the worst prophecies are being fulfilled, the greatest prophecies are also going to be occurring.

Summary

The pattern in 3 Nephi is met with the church being broken up…or rejected by God first, followed quickly by the government also being rejected (even though they may not even be aware of what has occurred on a spiritual level to them). The signs will have been given for both of these rejections in the four blood moons (two moons correlating to each severed covenant as TWO witnesses against them, with a solar eclipse between the two sets to signify the dark state of the earth from this point on). The result of the broken covenants between the church and the United States as a nation will mean the time for the Father’s work to commence has begun and His work will be made manifest by wrath being poured out upon Babylon, while this also prepares the way for Him to gather in Israel and establish Zion. All of this happens in such a short period of time that to man it appears as if a whirlwind (D&C 112) has unleashed and it will all have begun with the church’s break-up in 2014 (His ‘house’ that should’ve know Him), moved next to our government in 2015 (the gentile nation established by the direction of the Father), and then gone on to spread upon the entire face of the earth, until Babylon is completely fallen and only Zion remains with all the remnants of Israel gathered in.  The means whereby the Lord will instigate the delivery of His wrath will be through the Sons of Abraham fighting with one another, He having withdrawn His hand of protection.  It will begin with the fall of Baghdad and eventually engulf the entire earth. The wicked, will slay the wicked.  It will be terrible and will entail tribulation heretofore unknown to the world. But from its demise will arise the way prepared for Zion.
