Thank you for your comments. For someone that loves the Lord as much as I you are uplifting to my soul thank you.

It's interesting to me to see how this comes about, since at this time the church is very respectful of the agreement they have with the state of Israel about not proselytizing. I know the Lord will do His work when the time comes, and I'll be interested to see how it unfolds, if I am blessed to still be here at that time.

Those who are ON The Covenant Path Need Not Be Afraid

I really appreciate your humility and sincerity and you’re obvious love for the Lord and His gospel. It comes across so clearly. Thank you.

I really love this! Jesus Christ *will* come. I have the opportunity to be an ordinance worker and I think about that often when I'm presenting at the veil. One of these times, it will be Christ welcoming people to His presence. 😭💛

Doctrine & Covenants Section 138: 46-47 46 And Malachi, the prophet who testified of the coming of Elijah-of whom also Moroni spake to the Prophet Joseph Smith, declaring that he should come before the ushering in of the great and dreadful day of the Lord-were also there. 47 The Prophet Elijah was to plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to their fathers,

You can read more about them in d&c 77 and d&c 113. There are surprisingly many other old testament references to them as well.

Excellent video... I am impressed with your knowledge and find your words very interesting.

Very much enjoyed this video and the many points you reminded us of before his coming. Being prepared and aware I believe will be most important to the saints. Thank you for your time and efforts in presenting this for studying and pondering that we might pursue further viewing, studying and readiness in the days ahead. Peace and love abide with you 💕

You alone have the power to determine the fate of the universe!

most certainly is they are sabbath keeper.

Joseph said the wrapping up scene begins with the Russian bear laying its paw on the British lion.

Not very loud. Heard to hear you

Some of the points not usually recognized about Revelation 11 is there will be three and a half years of new scripture added to the Bible by these two prophets. Also. They ascend to heaven in their bodies of flesh and bones, showing Corinthians 15,: 50 only means no mortals can inherit the kingdom of God, or flesh and blood, you must be an immortal, flesh and bones and spirit, to inherit the kingdom of God. See also Romans 6:9 There is a second coming timeline by Jewish days, and holy days given by a member that , to me, is the most accurate. Something hugh is going to happen this year, maybe by May 19th.

The cool thing is for me been a member of 44 years ....and my DNA says I am 1% Jewish ???

It's funny how we all make assumptions about the two witnesses and add more to the scriptures than what is actually written about them. Elder McConkie assumed that they would be LDS prophets, and more specifically, apostles. Others assume they will be Jewish prophets. Others think they will be ancient prophets who were translated and then come back to earth (such as Moses and Elijah). But Joseph Smith didn't put any of these qualifiers in his revelation. He just called them, "two prophets." Apostles, LDS, Jewish, translated prophets of old, are all additions, assumptions, that we put over the text, as filters, to try to make sense of it in our worldview. One thing to keep in mind is that the two witnesses only appear _along with_ , and _after_ the appearance of the angel that gives them their power. The "mighty angel" of Revelation 10 talks to the apostle John in that chapter and then continues to talk to him in chapter 11, saying to John, "And I will give power unto _my_ two witnesses." So, the two witnesses are _the mighty angel's_ witnesses. Now turn to Daniel 10:4-9. Here Daniel sees an end-time vision of the mighty angel "clothed in linen," which frightens him. Later in Daniel 12:5-7 he sees the same mighty angel who is clothed in linen, but this time he notices that there are two people with him, one on either side of him. The principle being: first comes the angel, then come his two witnesses. Zechariah 4 mentions both the two witnesses and also the angel that precedes them, calling the one: a candlestick, and the others: two olive trees and two olive branches. In particular, in the Hebrew text of that same chapter, the translation of "anointed ones" in verse 14 literally means, "the _sons_ of oil". So, the likeliest scenario is that the two witnesses will be the literal sons of the end-time mighty angel. And who is the mighty angel of Revelation 10? _That is the $64,000 question_ ! What we _do_ know is that Jesus said that "Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things" before His Second Coming. (See Matt. 17:10-11.) And Joseph Smith said that "the angel ascending from the east", as written in Revelation 7:2, is Elias. (See D&C 77:9.) He also described the "one mighty and strong" that sets in order the house of God as an angel. (See D&C 85:7.) So, the end-time restoring Elias, the man who will restore all things prior to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, thus preparing the way of the Lord, _will be an angel_ . Is the angel ascending from the east (Elias) of Revelation 7 the same angel as the mighty angel of Revelation 10 and 11? If so, then the two witnesses will likely be _the sons of Elias_ . Is it possible to tie these two angels together as the same angel? Yes, it is. Ezekiel 9 is an end-time vision of a man "clothed with linen" who corresponds to the Revelation 7 ascending angel (Elias). Ezekiel 10 describes the man "clothed with linen" doing the same kind of thing that the eighth angel of Revelation 8 does at the altar. Ezekiel 9 says that there will be six slayers with the "man clothed with linen". Are there also six slayers in John's Revelation? Yes, there are: the four angelic helpers of the angel ascending from the east (Elias) in Rev. 7 and the two witnesses of the mighty angel are six slayers that end up killing men. So, all these scriptures (and others) are possibly talking about the same group of end-time people and the same end-time events.

1260 days are actually years from 538 to 1798 A D

I believe the 1260 days refer to a year for a day equaling AD 5

Some people think it might be Moses and Elijah that come back as resurrected beings. The scripture clearly states, they will be raised up to the Jews IN the LAST DAYS. Joseph Smith once said one of those would be named David. Sorry, I can’t never find, or remember where I’ve seen this. Elder Bednar is currently one of the two representatives over that area.

John the apostle is one of them rev 10:11 says “And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.” Three verses later the two witnesses are brought up John has yet to prophecy before nations and has to taste death before Christ returns, the other witness could be one of the three Nephites or the Elias who will restore all things (not Elijah the prophet a different Elias or fore runner who is said to restore all things

I think it interesting that Elder McConkie is the only prophet who has stated the two witnesses will be members of the Quorum of the Twelve, or the First Presidency. I love Elder McConkie but I don’t believe he knew. Also, it seems unlikely we will know when their ministry starts and when it ends because Christ will come like a “thief in the night”. It also seems like the witnesses won’t preach on the streets, at least not in a traditional way. I said all that to say, I don’t think we have any idea what their ministry will look like, when it started, how long it will continue, or when it ends.

Here is some info not known by many about "Mormon Doctrine" by McConkey who wrote it before he was an apostle. Question Dear Gramps, I’ve heard that there are a lot of errors in both editions of McConkie’s “Mormon Doctrine.” What exactly are those errors? Furthermore, how could the Church allow him to publish a book with so many errors and call it “Mormon Doctrine”? Isn’t that a bit misleading? Brian Answer Brian, There were only a few fundamental “errors” in Mormon Doctrine (though it is controversial, so you might get a different answer from someone else). Most of the changes made from the first edition to the second were in tone. The original tone was harsh. When the book was first published it was done so without an editor or any review by the Church. Bruce R. McConkie was a Seventy at the time, and there was a bit of consternation over a Seventy speaking on behalf of the whole Church to define what was and was not doctrine. The first edition also had a lot of entries in it that defined false doctrines in other churches that were removed from the second edition because they had nothing to do with “Mormon” doctrine. The Church did not allow him to publish it. Quite the opposite. They asked him and his publisher to pull it. Both willingly complied. Then, years later, it was reviewed and edited carefully by Spencer W. Kimball and the second edition was published. One example of errors in Mormon Doctrine are many of the philosophies that tried to explain race and the priesthood. Some of these were corrected in later editions (after the priesthood was given to all worthy males) and some of them were never fixed but have now been officially disavowed by the Church as non-doctrinal. Other ideas within Mormon Doctrine that might be considered non-doctrinal, however, have not been disavowed. They just have never been canonized in any manner. Therefore, it is correct to say they are non-doctrinal, but not necessarily correct to say they are mistaken. Personally, I love the book and find the information therein very useful. I do not take the entire book as hard doctrinal fact, however, but consider it a good book to read from and learn from, with a clear understanding that some of the information might be personal opinion of the author. Many articles we currently have in the Bible Dictionary either are taken exactly from, or close to, the entries from Mormon Doctrine. I think Mormon Doctrine is a fine example of line-upon-line thinking. Bruce R. McConkie was always willing to learn, willing to change his thoughts and teachings, and willing to grow. He freely admitted when he had been mistaken, and I have no doubt about his inspired apostleship and authority. He was also one of the most knowledgeable modern-day leaders of the Church, and we can learn a lot from him. From the article Elder Bruce R. McConkie: “Preacher of Righteousness” we learn a few things about Elder McConkie. His prowess as a scholar: President Ezra Taft Benson eulogized [Bruce R. McConkie] as a preacher of righteousness. “Thanks be to God that Elder McConkie’s written words of testimony remain to continue to bless a world that needs them so desperately. … “Often when a doctrinal question came before the First Presidency and the Twelve,” he continued, “Elder McConkie was asked to quote the scripture or to comment on the matter. He could quote scripture verbatim and at great length.” He “provided the entire Church with an example of gospel scholarship. He could teach the gospel with ease because he first understood the gospel.” …his commitment to speaking the Lord’s will: Elder Packer spoke of the uncompromising attitude his associate had toward his obligation to speak the truth. “It was not granted to Brother McConkie to judge beforehand how his discourses would be received and then to alter them accordingly. Nor could he measure what ought to be said and how it ought to be said by ‘what will people think?’ … When he was tempted to change [his words], the Spirit would withdraw a distance. … He could stand what the critics might say and what the enemies might do, but he could not stand that. “He would be driven to his knees to beg forgiveness and plead for the renewal of that companionship with the Spirit which the scriptures promise can be constant. Then he would learn once again that what was true of holy men of God who spake in ancient times applied to him as well. He was to speak as he was moved upon by the Holy Spirit.” …and, concerning his understanding of mistakes and growth in the church: On another occasion, a Church leader in South America apologized for making a procedural mistake. Elder McConkie sought to put him at ease: “President, don’t give it another thought,” he said. “In this Church we begin where we are; we begin today. We don’t look backwards; we look forward. Please don’t be concerned.” Can we be as fair to Elder McConkie? The equation for determining validity of doctrinal ideas from any source is fairly straightforward. Does the idea align with what our living prophets teach us? If it contradicts that, it should be discarded as false. If it doesn’t contradict, but doesn’t necessarily align either, it should be viewed as academic, non-doctrine, but interesting. If it agrees, it may be accepted as valid. Finally I want to bear my testimony of Bruce R. McConkie’s apostleship. If you have not heard it, I recommend you watch his final testimony in the April 1985 General Conference. His witness of Christ is truly remarkable. “I am one of his witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God’s Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way.” Truly this is a man who grew in testimony and understanding, as we all must do in our lives.

Lets Think about the word Raised Up ????

Enoch & Elijah

Thank you for the video! It was very well done. I love your enthusiasm on this topic. Because of that, I will share with you a little of what I have come to know about it myself. Bruce wasn’t entirely correct. I know who the two witnesses are…..or rather who they will be. One of them is Elder Holland and the other is a man who will be a future Presiding Bishop of the Church….probably the next one in fact. You will know he is the one I am speaking of if his initials are T.G.H. Remember that. A couple of other things…..these two men will actually be translated during their mission in Jerusalem. Their powers from translation are what enable them to perform the great feats that they will accomplish. Contrary to popular belief, some translated beings do taste death, but the exceptions are rare and always for a greater purpose. Another caveat of this exception is that the translated being must offer themselves up as a sacrifice to be killed, the same way that Christ offered up His life. It is the only way that any mortal person could be given the power to take the life of a translated being. After 3 days, the Prophet Elijah will appear and touch each of them with his finger. And that is when they will rise up.

Do they come forth are killed then Raised again???

I thought no one knows who they are. The 3 1/2 year period is explained in the book of Daniel It’s a dual prophecy really about his time and our time. It is a 7 year perfect in which the Antichrist appears some people we maybe in it now or will be very soon 3 and a 1/2 years is that amount of days the Antichrist appears halfway through it is the 2 witnesses that hold back Jerusalem from being violated just before the second coming. There is much on line about this. Daniel 9 through 11

The two witnesses will be Enoch and Elijah. They are the only two men to have ever ascended to the Lord without seeing death first. They will both physically die as the price for man's sin, "For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God." However, "their faith is accounted to them as Righteousness," so they will be raised up after death. After the rapture, there will be no one with true faith in the Lord. As with the Law and the Gospel, the Word must first come to the Jews and then unto the Gentiles. The two witnesses will first save the 144,000 Jews, and they will take the Word forth unto the world. As for the current war in Israel, read Amos 1:6-8.

Are the two prophets of the LDS church? Thanks 😊

42 seconds in and you've made an error, the two witnesses do not die in Jerusalem, they die in the "great city" which is a reference to Babylon. Rev 11:8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the *great city* -which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt-where also their Lord was crucified

What if the witness already happened, being the book of Mormon? It could be Joseph and Hyrum..

I know for surity that the Prophet Elijah is one of the two witnesses. I don't know who the other is. I can speculate who it could be. Malachi 4:5-6 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

The stick of Judah and the stick of Joseph coming together are the two witnesses coming together. Not the Book of Mormon and Bible. The two witnesses are John the revelator, stick of Judah and the second witnesses is Moroni, the stick of Joseph. Both were the last record keepers. Both haven't tasted death.

My personal opinion is that the Second Coming will not be for 30 to 40 years. I used to believe it would be 30 to 50 years, but I have altered my opinion. I am 67 now, and I believe I will not be in this realm when it occurs.

The 2 Witnesses are the Old and New Testaments. Not 2 people.
