"An army of Elders will be sent to the four quarters of the earth the search out the righteous and warn the wicked of what is coming. All kinds of religions will be started and miracles performed that will deceive the elect if that were possible. Our sons and daughters must live pure lives so as to be prepared for what is coming. After a while the Gentiles will gather by the thousands to this place and Salt Lake City will be classed among the wicked cities of the world. A spirit of speculation and extravagance will take possession of the saints, and the results will be financial bondage.
"Persecution comes next and all true latter-day Saints will be tested to the limit. Many will apostatize and others will be still not knowing what to do. Darkness will cover the earth and gross darkness the minds of the people. The judgments of God will be poured out on the wicked to the extent that our Elders from far and near will be called home, or in other words the gospel will be taken from the Gentiles and later on carried to the Jews.
"The western boundary of the State of Missouri will be swept so clean of its inhabitants that, as President Young tell us, when you return to that place, there will not be left so much as a yellow dog to wag his tail. Before that day comes, however, the Saints will be put to tests that will try the integrity of the best of them. The pressure will become so great that the more righteous among them will cry unto the Lord day and night until deliverance comes.
"Then the prophet and others will make their appearance and those who have remained faithful will be selected to return to Jackson County, Missouri, and take part in the up building of that beautiful city, the New Jerusalem."

This really caught my attention as I have been pondering all that has been going on in our world and country as we move closer to the second coming of our Savior.
Also because I live in western Missouri right next to Jackson county!
These last few months our stake leaders have been preaching preparedness like crazy. Our stake president recently said that the time to prepare is over, and that we are either prepared or not. They have specifically said that those in our stake WILL need our food storage supply.
We have money set aside for this and in the next two weeks we are getting all the rest of the supplies we need for our basic year supply but of course will continue to add over time. I also just re-stocked my 72 hour kit which we keep in our tornado shelter.
I hope each of us is prepared not only temporally, but spiritually, for the second coming of Jesus Christ. The Lord has said, “If ye are prepared ye shall not fear” (D&C 38:30).
You can go to your LDS local cannery to can food. Here is another great site to buy food storage.
i saw that post too! I read it to chris and we set aside a certain amount of money to go buy more food storage this month and we also decided to build a huge garden in our back yard. That's this week's project and I'm dieing hahah it's so much hard work!
