The Lord cautioned us,
“Behold I come quickly.”
President Nelson has warned,
“Time is running out!”
The Time for us to Prepare is Now!!!
“Let us devote ourselves more diligently to the preparations needed for the day when pain and evil are ended altogether, when “Christ [shall] reign personally upon the earth.” Elder Christofferson
“… We ought to have the building up of Zion as our greatest object. … The time is soon coming, when no man will have any peace but in Zion and her stakes.” Joseph Smith
“The building up of Zion is a cause that has interested the people of God in every age; it is a theme upon which prophets, priests and kings have dwelt with peculiar delight; they have looked forward with joyful anticipation to the day in which we live; and fired with heavenly and joyful anticipations they have sung and written and prophesied of this our day; … we are the favored people that God has [chosen] to bring about the Latter-day glory.” Joseph Smith
President Nelson has said “It is our charge—it is our privilege—to help prepare the world for that day.”
We … are the people charged with ushering in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ; we are to gather God’s children, those who will hear and embrace the truths, covenants and promises of the everlasting gospel.” Elder Ronald A. Rasband
Before we can help the world prepare we must prepare. We must prepare ourselves and our family to help usher in the second coming of the Lord.
“I want the Latter-day Saints to do their duty. … Their responsibility is great and mighty. The eyes of God and all the holy prophets are watching us. This is the great dispensation that has been spoken of ever since the world began. We are gathered together … by the power and commandment of God. We are doing the work of God. … Let us fill our mission.” President Wilford Woodruff
“What can we do to prepare now for that day? We can prepare ourselves as a people; we can gather the Lord’s covenant people… All of this must occur in some substantial measure before the Lord comes again.” Elder Christofferson
"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." President Dallin H. Oaks
“If Zion will not purify herself, so as to be approved of in all things, in His sight, He will seek another people; for His work will go on until Israel is gathered, and they who will not hear His voice, must expect to feel His wrath. Let me say unto you, seek to purify yourselves.” Jospeh Smith
“There is… one specific responsibility that falls to those of us in the Church now that did not rest quite the same way on Church members in any earlier time. We have a responsibility to prepare the Church of the Lamb of God to receive the Lamb of God—in person, in triumphant glory, in His millennial role as Lord of lords and King of kings.” Jeffery R. Holland
We do not know when the Savior will return, but this we do know: We must be prepared in heart and mind, worthy to receive Him, and honored to be part of all that was prophesied so long ago.” Elder Ronald A. Rasband
In our busy lives how can we make sure we are focusing on being prepared for His return? How can we work on becoming pure in heart
