We're still alive!!!

These interesting bilboards were up around town.  I looked up the website out of curiousity and it was interesting how they took the same verses in the New Testament and interpreted them quite differently than I had thought of them.  It made me so grateful to have a living prophet today who receives continuous revelation from God for us.  There are so many interpretations and ideas out there.

"Brothers and sisters, the exact time of the Second Coming is known only to the Father (see Matt. 24:36). There are, however, signs that scriptural prophecy relating to that tumultuous day is being fulfilled. Jesus cautioned several times that prior to His Second Coming, “many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many” (Matt. 24:11). As Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ, it is our duty to be watchmen on the tower, warning Church members to beware of false prophets and false teachers who lie in wait to ensnare and destroy faith and testimony. Today we warn you that there are false prophets and false teachers arising"

'Beware of False Prophets and False Teachers' by M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Not that I really believed anything would happen, but we were grateful because we happened to be driving down the Las Vegas strip at the exact hour that that crazy man predicted the Second Coming would start.  (That would not have been a good place to be!)  Hearing the stories of the crazy things that happened as a result of this man's false teachings (people killing themselves and their children in fear of that day) just broke my heart.  I"m so grateful for the gospel and the knowledge and peace it brings!
