What a joy it was to teach Christ today. I had all my High Priests focus their minds on the path of Christ, from his birth, through his life, through the events directly before his crucifiction, to this death to his resurrection. I walked them through the 33 years of Christ's life. Then I had the HP's read scripture after scripture describing his Second Coming. Then we all shared what we thought about it, how we looked forward to it, and how we were going to assure we were going to be ready for it.
As I pondered about teaching on this subject, I could actually almost envision His descending from the heavens and coming to save us all. I could envision the burning all of things corrupt on the earth and the beginning of the Millennium. I can't wait until the Savior comes and reigns on this earth among all of those righteous who endure His coming.
It is interesting to me how there are so many varied opinions of His coming. Many are afraid of it, perhaps because they consider themselves not ready for it, or maybe they think they will be burned at His coming. There are many who do not believe it will ever happen. I mean they figure it just to be a figment of some one's imagination. There are some that anxiously await it, wanting to meet Him in the clouds when He comes. There are many who can't wait to see all corruption destroyed.
Today while I was teaching to these High Priests, we discussed a bit about the "when" and "how soon" part of it. Then the Spirit whispered to me that it really didn't matter. Whether we are alive in this mortality or whether we have left mortality, it is an event that all will be excited about, participate in, and be aware of, live and even those already departed will be anxious for it to happen. If you consider it, it is one of the most important events in the history of this earth.
I promised the brethren, in the Spirit, that they would all be involved in the events of the Second Coming. I felt that inspiration bearing witness of that truth. It is now a part of my testimony since the Spirit bore that witness to my heart while I was teaching, listening to His voice. All who have lived on this earth will be a part of it, the final scene, the start of the millennium, and when Christ will be on the earth and His work will be rapidly worked on for 1000 years, which will influence everyone who has lived here. What does that mean beyond the small room where I was teaching. I know what it means to me, how about you?
