2012 - Mayan Calendar - End of the World

 So, I was thinking about this and thinking "we" were expecting a sudden group of cataclysms to end the population of the planet.

What if, instead, it marked the beginning of the end? What if, in 2012, the secret plans began in earnest? The things that would guarantee the destruction of the bulk of the people on this planet.

I'm talking about what we are seeing now, that has probably been in the works for a century or more.

• Men being women.
• Boys being girls.
• And vice versa for both.
• And hormone blockers for children (prevents children's hearts, lungs from maturing; causes osteoporosis, etc.)
• Sex change operations instead of addressing the mental issues and the problems.
• Telling gays and lesbians they aren't gay nor lesbian; they are actually the opposite sex.
• Predatory men/boys allowed in locker rooms, bathrooms, and prisons where they have (proven) raped and harmed actual women/girls.
• White people automatically racist because of the color of their skin (even if they are only 3 seconds old).
• Black people automatically stupider than any other race ("math is racist" "getting a driver's license is racist" - never mind that there are plenty of black geniuses).
• Teach children as young as preschool age about sex and sexual perversions.
• Create a worldwide "pandemic" and force as many people as possible to take a series of dangerous jags which have killed and maimed a helluva lot more people than c0v1d ever could or did.
• Get more and more people addicted to unreality; culminating in the MegaVerse, eating bugs, owning nothing and being happy, having zero freedom to choose pretty much anything, and so on.
• MAiD (in Canada) - assisted suicide for pretty much any reason whatsoever.
• More and more violence of all kinds.
• More fires and earthquakes, from what I've seen.
• Lots and lots of "divide and conquer" going on (I'm sure I've missed some, so this is the catch-all for everything I've missed listing).
  

What if 2012 was not the harbinger of instant destruction "right now"? What if it was merely ushering the new "year", but the harvest was not yet ripe any more than peaches or apricots or tomatoes are ripe in January if you live in northern lattitudes?

I would venture to say that we are incredibly close to being ripened in iniquity and that our only hope is repentance and turning to Christ.

In August 2017, God made the first stroke of an X that was to cross the USA off the map. (A total solar eclipse. And there were a lot of moon eclipses (search barerecord.blogspot.com/ for lots of info on that*) on holy days between 2012 and now.) In April 2024, God is going to write the second and last stroke of the X across the USA. And don't think the rest of the world is going to be spared.

What if "at my house it will begin" means that it will begin in the USA, where God brought forth the Book of Mormon to teach us of our sins and what we needed to do to repent and avoid destruction? What if it is first because of the blessing and cursing on this land? Blessing (prosperity and an abundance of God's help) if you repent and turn to Christ. Cursing (being wiped off the face of the earth) if you become "ripened in iniquity".

Anyway, just some thoughts I've been having recently.

Faith as a grain of mustard seed

 For my whole life, except very recently, I always thought this about the parable of the mustard seed:

That itty bitty seed had so much faith that it grew into a bush or tree big enough for birds to roost in, so we need to be like that seed and have a ton of faith.

I've changed my mind. 

 And Jesus said unto them, . . . verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Matt 17:20 KJV

 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Luke 17:6 KJV

One day, it hit me that I was way off. What Jesus was saying, in my new view of the parable, was, "Even if you have such a tiny bit of faith that you can barely see it, just like you barely see this seed, nothing will be impossible." It reminds me of Alma 32:27 LDS:

But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words.

It showed me the grace and mercy of our Lord, of our God. Just a tiny bit of faith, even if it is no more than a genuine desire to believe, will yield incredible results if we continue to, as Alma said, water and nourish it instead of neglecting it.

How to nourish it? How to water it? Perhaps the first Nephi might have been talking about something similar when he said:

And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done?  Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save. Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men.  Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
2 Nephi 32:19-20 LDS

Electric power in Zion

 I have wondered if Zion would be incredibly "3rd world country," or if it would have things like electricity, and hot and cold running water.

I'd heard before about the pyramids possibly being a source of energy from pre-Egyptian times, so was interested when I came across this video in a forum I go to. ("HeckleFish" is a bit irritating, but he shuts up a bit more as you go along.)

It talks about Tesla and how he tried to imitate the creation of the power he believed the pyramids created long ago. His funding got pulled when he told the uber-ultra-rich J.P. Morgan that he wanted to make power free for everyone. The video lists all the ways in which Morgan would have ceased to make money had he continued to fund this project. It also explains the theory of how the pyramids may have made electricity.

So, I am hoping that if there's a God-fearing person who has the mind and abilities to rediscover this and create it, who is reading this post, that they will-God willing-be able to create this thing that would enable people to have free electric power, perhaps anywhere on the planet.

Why Your Prayers Aren't Working

I watched this video by Matt Walsh a few days ago (the title of this post is the title of the video). I found his advice on prayer to be quite enlightening. I have not prayed on my knees much lately, except for during sacrament (bread and wine) prayers. Listening to Matt's words, and following his advice did seem to bring me closer to God during my prayers.
