A Year of Fire: Kilauea, Enoch, and the Gathering

Brothers and sisters, builders of Zion, have you felt the tremor in the earth, not just of Kilauea, but of the spirit? The signs are multiplying, pressing upon us with the urgency of Ammon at the Waters of Sebus – a moment of choosing, a time to stand firm.

We’ve been watching, with reverent hearts, as Mount Kilauea has spewed forth its molten warning. Beginning on December 23, 2024, this continuous eruption is poised to mark a full year by December 23, 2025. Is this a mere geological event, or a divinely appointed sign? The Lord speaks in ways that require discernment, a willingness to see beyond the surface – much like Samuel the Lamanite, climbing the walls of Jerusalem to proclaim a message of warning and hope.

The connection to Doctrine and Covenants 133:41 is undeniable: “The presence of the Lord shall be as a melting fire which causes the waters to boil.” This isn’t a threat to be feared, but a call to action – to prepare, to purify, to gather.

Consider the stunning imagery shared – a rainbow arching over the fiery eruption on Mother’s Day 2024. A rainbow is a promise, a covenant. But it’s also a herald, a reminder of the return of the City of Enoch, a place reserved “until the day of righteousness shall come,” as found in JST Genesis 9:23 and D&C 45:11-14. The scriptures paint a picture of a celestial city descending, bringing Zion above and below into rejoicing. Are we prepared to receive it?

And what of the warnings concerning financial judgment? The video touches on the Federal Reserve Act, a system ripe for correction. The Lord’s timing is perfect, and we can be certain that He will not leave His people undefended. This isn’t a call to panic, but to exercise faith, prudence, and a spirit of industry – the kind of resilience that fueled the pioneers and will sustain us in days to come.

Outback Jack, ever the steady guide, reminds us that these times of trial are not new. He’s seen firsthand the challenges faced by those who live close to the earth, and he knows that preparation – both temporal and spiritual – is the key to survival. Remember the five smooth stones that David gathered, stones that enabled him to overcome a giant. We, too, must gather our stones – our knowledge, our skills, our faith – to face the challenges ahead.

This is a season for builders, not destroyers. While others sow seeds of discord and fear, we plant seeds of hope and preparedness. Every contribution you make to the Missionary Fund, every engagement within this community, fuels the gospel advertising effort, currently reaching hearts in Ghana and beyond. Your labor here isn’t just about discussion; it’s about funding a global movement of righteousness. See the map of churches – a visual representation of the gathering unfolding before our very eyes.

Let us embrace this season with courage and faith, knowing that the Lord is with us, melting away the dross and refining us into vessels worthy to receive the blessings He has promised. Claim your church, contribute your skills, and let us build Zion together.

Remember the words of Moroni 10:4-5: “And it shall come to pass that those who forsake their idols and believe in the name of Jesus Christ shall be gathered up according to the arm of the Lord, that they may be his people, and that they may be prepared for an inheritance, and that they may be brought before him as firstfruits.”

Let our actions reflect our belief.
