  3. President BensonQuote #1 “The record of the Nephite history just prior to the Savior’s visit reveals many parallels to our own day as we anticipate the Savior’s second coming…

  4. Pres. BensonQuote #2 In the Book of Mormon we find a pattern for preparing for the Second Coming. A major portion of the book centers on the few decades just prior to Christ’s coming to America. By careful study of that time period, we can determine why some were destroyed…and what brought others to stand at the temple in Bountiful and thrust their hands into the wounds of his hands and feet… Can anyone doubt that this book was meant for us and that in it we find great power, great comfort and great protection?

  5. Helaman 13 And it came to pass that in this year (6 BC) there was one Samuel, a Lamanite, came into the land of Zarahemla, and began to preach unto the people. And it came to pass that he did preach, many days, repentance unto the people, and they did cast him out,

  6. From the Wall And he said unto them: Behold, I, Samuel, a Lamanite, do speak the words of the Lord which he doth put into my heart: Call to repentance, combined with Three Major Prophecies

  7. Prophecy #1 The Death Sentence Hel 13:5,10 the sword of justice hangeth over this people; and four hundred years pass not away save the sword of justice falleth upon this people …and there shall be those of the fourth generation who shall live, of your enemies, to behold your utter destruction

  8. Prophecy #2 Fate of Zarahemla Hel. 13: 14 when ye shall cast out the righteous from among you, then shall ye be ripe for destruction; yea, wo be unto this great city, because of the wickedness and abominations which are in her.

  9. Zarahemla wo be unto this great city, because of the wickedness and abominations which are in her. ye do cast out the prophets, and do mock them, and cast stones at them, and do slay them Ye do always remember your riches if it were not for the righteous who are in this great city, behold, I would cause that fire should come down out of heaven and destroy it. And there were…sharp lightnings…and the City of Zarahemla did take fire Gen. 18 Sodom and Gomorah Their sin is very grievous And (the town) called unto Lot…we will deal worse with thee, than with them Put nets over their fruit trees to keep the poor out And (the Lord said) If I find in Sodom fifty righteous with in the City, then I will spare all the place Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire

  10. Zion Society Man works with the Lord’s resources Bishop’s Storehouse Returns back to the Lord What he didn’t need Surplus! (more than he needs right now) Receives “Sufficient for his Needs” Sick, poor, widowed

  11. Capitalism Man works hard (No free lunch!) Government Meets his Needs Surplus! (more Than he needs Right now) Wealth Taxes My Treasure Sick, poor, widowed

  12. Additional PropheciesConcerning Zarahemla Helaman 13: 3 30 Yea, behold, the anger of the Lord is already kindled against you; behold, he hath cursed the land because of your iniquity. 31 And behold, the time cometh that he curseth your riches, that they become slippery, that ye cannot hold them; and in the days of your poverty ye cannot retain them.

  13. Question How do, or how will, the wicked fail to hold on to their riches?

  14. Prophecy #3Signs of the Savior’s Birth and Death Strong Righteous minority Many spiritual signs and gifts Increase in wickedness Conversion of Many Lamanites Prophecy of a night with no darkness Denial of signs and wonders in the heavens Great Storms and natural destructions Destruction of the wicked

  15. Elder OaksApril Conference While we are powerless to alter the fact of the Second Coming and unable to know its exact time, we can accelerate our own preparation and try to influence the preparation of those around us. A parable that contains an important and challenging teaching on this subject is the parable of the ten virgins. The arithmetic of this parable is chilling. The ten virgins obviously represent members of Christ's Church, for all were invited to the wedding feast and all knew what was required to be admitted when the bridegroom came. But only half were ready when he came.

  16. Elder Oaks Cont. "Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly"? (D&C 87:8). What are those "holy places"? Surely they include the temple and its covenants faithfully kept. Surely they include a home where children are treasured and parents are respected. Surely the holy places include our posts of duty assigned by priesthood authority, including missions and callings faithfully fulfilled in branches, wards, and stakes.

  17. Remember the Battle of the Bulge HOLD UNTIL RELIEVED!
