Opening the Seventh Seal
READ D&C 88:92-93 and TPJS 319:2
“Judah must return, Jerusalem must be
rebuilt, and the temple, and water come out from under the temple, and the
waters of the Dead Sea be healed. It will take some time to rebuild the walls
of the city and the temple, &c.; and all this must be done before the Son
of Man will make His appearance. There will be wars and rumors of wars, signs
in the heavens above and on the earth beneath, the sun turned into darkness and
the moon to blood, earthquakes in divers places, the seas heaving beyond their
bounds; then will appear one grand sign of the Son of Man in heaven. But what
will the world do? They will say it is a planet, a comet, etc. But the Son of
Man will come as the sign of the coming of the Son of Man, which will be as the
light of the morning cometh out of the east.”
