A GREAT SIGN IN HEAVEN


A great sign in heaven:

“And immediately there shall appear a great sign in heaven, and all people shall see it together. (Doctrine and Covenants Section 88:93)

What I am about to say or manifest unto the world, at first it may appear simply deceptive, yet it is not. It is my firm conviction that the Kingdom of heaven is here, and that the coming of the Lord is near, even at the doors. We are already past the eleventh hour. The world only talks about peace and security, after which a sudden destruction approaches. And the Lord said that he will come as a thief in the night in an hour which we think not. His coming in glory, agreeing with the scriptures, If thief come in the night, it is usually when people are asleep between the eleventh and the first hour of the night.

“BUT of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” (New Testament 1 Thessalonians 5:1 - 3)


There was growing confusion and distress in the world concerning the times and seasons anciently as it is today, The Lord our God saw fit to reveal and manifest add new knowledge concerning the cosmos unto the world. And Abraham, the patriarch and prophet of antiquity was the receptor of that knowledge and thus he became the greatest astronomer of all times. He then transferred his knowledge to the Egyptians and from them it sprang into the rest of the world.

That knowledge is as good today as it was then. The Lord our God manifested unto Abraham, among other things, his creations; and more particularly the computations of time between the heavens and the earth. According to the reckoning of time in heaven and on earth, One thousand years for us is one day unto the Lord.

Furthermore, it has been calculated by prominent scholars that from the time of the fall of Adam to the time of the birth of Jesus Christ there is a lapse of a little more than four thousand years. And that from the time of the birth of Jesus Christ until now we are is a little over two thousand years. This makes a full six thousand years and change indicating that we are now into the seventh millennium since the time of our first fathers, even Adam and Eve.

Therefore, if one day in the computation of time of the Lord is like a thousand years for us, we can calculate that we are at the beginning of the first hour of the last day. If we do the math by those standards, we can easily resolve that half an hour in the Lord’s time is about 22 years in our world; and that one hour for the lord is therefore 44 years of our time. So at anytime between this standing generation and the next we are due for the ever hoped event of all time, even the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in Glory.

This day and age we already live in is part of that great and dreadful day so long feared or hoped for. I perhaps make it look too abstract, far away or enigmatic, but beware for it is not. In fact, the coming of the Lord is here already and it is happening right now in front of us but not before our eyes. We just cannot see it happening yet. How can something be if we cannot see it or sense you may ask? And the answer is: Because the vent of the coming of the Lord is a revelation. It is an exposure of space time of an event that is occurring but we have not yet seen. Let me explain and perhaps demonstrate.

Smile, for our picture is about or be taken. A picture taken by a camera as we know it is a revelation. We call it an exposure of a reality in space time. When a picture or a space time exposure is taken of us, the least thing we expect is the flash. Then, a little after, the picture is revealed unto us. We see ourselves sometimes with astonishment that it is an actual fact. The same thing is with the coming of the Lord. We know the click is coming; and when we least expect the brightness of his coming will call our attention or blind us; and then we will see the big picture in full development. And within a matter of hours the heavens will dissolve and roll together as a scroll and our world will change dramatically and chaotically and it will never be the same.

In other words, the coming of the Lord is like a brilliant star in a distant galaxy perceived by the naked eye of an observer from our frail planet. The light we see radiating from the star has traveled for many light years before reaching the retina of our eyes. But in effect, the star that we graciously see night after night may not exist or be there anymore. What we perceive then is what not long ago begun to arrive to the perception of our eyes. It is only the light of that long gone star. In the case of the Lord, his light has not reached us yet. But he is coming is already in motion. As a matter of fact he has been coming for over two thousand years now. And he is just about to arrive at any moment now.

Therefore, at the least expected moment we will see the heavens rolling like a scroll and sense the earth reeling to and fro wobbling like a drunkard precipitating upon us the great and dreadful events that have been prophesied will come to pass. Suddenly we will all wake up to the awful reality as if from as long and distant dream. We will be in a moment past and beyond fear unless we are left standing frozen by fear by the calamities at hand. And while the world is in commotion or going about its own business, the Lord will appear in the clouds for the astonishment and surprise of great and small. Even as a thief in the night as he prophesied it will be. And before we know it, we will be enveloped in the arms of his love or tormented by the brightness of his coming.

These words may appear superfluous and incredible. I know I may be saying things that eye has not seen and things that ears have not heard, but I do not only write, I can also show you that our frail planet and its companions as we speak are being swallowed up by a wormhole in space time. And that the stars of heaven are now rolling around our solar system as if we were going in a tunnel to un unknown destination in outer space. This is a hard thing to believe for it is far beyond our perception of the real world and its heavens. However, if we could see it happening right now with naked ayes, our peace will be snatched from our minds and our hearts. It may sound in our ears with a voice louder than that that will shake the earth. And then we will fall dead of the ground of astonishment or become frozen by fear squatting and covering our ears, our mouth and our eyes like the ancient mummies found in the heights of Peru. It would indeed be a horrifying scenario seeing all nature precipitate in chaotic convulsion.

We have not felt the impact yet for we are living in the period or lapse of calm before the storm. But soon we will realize this overbearing effect. In other words, the worst thing we fear is already happening. We just have to accept it and prepare for the turbulent impact and the chaotic aftermath. Before, I show you, I would like to prepare your minds a little by vouchsafing a well known scientific fact.

Science has proved it and nobody can deny that our planet is traveling around the sun at an enormous speed equal to or greater than 60,000 miles per hour. And we do not even feel it due to gravitation and our kind envelope of atmospheric pressure. If this is so why would it not be possible then, that our entire solar system is now traveling at an uncharted speed around the cluster of stars called the Milky Way galaxy and so forth?

I understand this presumption sounds too fantastic to be true or perhaps I am delusional. However, I was not the one who took the space time exposure in the illustration that you are about to see. It was a space lab in Tucson Arizona who happened to catch the fast acting phenomenon illustrated hereafter, which deserves more attention than the one given, for it, is indeed, the prelude of things to come or simply a great sign in heaven.


“And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.” (Old Testament Isaiah 34:4)

What we see in the illustration is the cylindrical motion of the stars around Polaris or the northern star. The scientists think it is a disc, but it is a three dimensional cylinder. The rotations of the stars or the trails we see are shorter nearing to the center giving the perception of depth. In a disc the sizes of the star light trails will al be the same as one perceives it in the outer rings. Therefore we are either going through or being swallowed up. Nonetheless whatever it is it is a very good illustration of what we should expect to see with the naked eye before the coming of the Lord.

This space time exposure was taken in 2006 by the Tucson Space laboratory, but it was released to the world sometime near the end in October 2007. The time will soon come when we will see these things develop before the naked eye. And in the very same manner the world will perceive the coming of the Lord in heaven, surrounded by an unnumbered concourse of angels.
If ye are prepared ye shall not fear:


“I tell you these things because of your prayers; wherefore, treasure up wisdom in your bosoms, lest the wickedness of men reveal these things unto you by their wickedness, in a manner which shall speak in your ears with a voice louder than that which shall shake the earth; but if ye are prepared ye shall not fear. (Doctrine and Covenants Section 38:30)


This work exists to help prepare the souls of the children of men for the great and dreadful day of the Lord. It, however, concentrates in the great and marvelous rather than the dreadful things to come.

The Lord said and it is written that if we are prepared we shall not fear. And believe it or not, it is also my understanding that if we are not prepared to meet God, we should rather fear the great things of the day of his glorious coming rather than the dreadful ones. Or, that the dreadful things will be a sweet walk in the prairie in comparison. For it is also written that great many will wish for the stones of heaven and the mountains to fall upon them and crush them rather than to see the face of the living God. It appears that the condition of this world is so dark in sin vengeance and abomination that some will fear more the fulgent brightness of the His coming than anything else including death.

As a sign reader rather than a sign seeker, I particularly enjoy learning about the wonderful and marvelous things about the great and dreadful day of the Lord. The rapture event at the coming of the Lord, among other things, is one thing that intrigues me the most. It is indeed wonderful to know that at the coming of the Lord in glory many will be lifted even from the grave and will be taken to meet God in the clouds at his coming. I suppose that the saints will be caught up in so great a joy even amidst of turmoil, for they are the ones that will be saved or will inherit eternal life. This is a great and marvelous thing! These are they who are more righteous and the ones that kept the commandments of God.

This rapture event also makes me think that the coming of the Lord at the beginning is only a revelation or an appearance. Many will ask whether it is a comet, a planet or a plain when they see him approaching and nearing unto us. In reality, I think that it is also us who are coming to him also; and it is us who will be truly be suspended in the clouds to meet him. Perhaps that is where we are going in space. Maybe this is the reason that the planet earth and its companions are in transit being swallowed up in a conglomeration of stars rolling like a scroll all around us.

The event of the rapture I cannot fully comprehend, yet it undoubtedly indicates that potent changes will be roughed; especially within the physical bodies of the people of God that will be caught up alive to meet Christ. For no one can endure the presence of God in all his glory in the flesh and live thereafter. Therefore a change in the physics of man’s body constitution has to be made in order for this lifting event to take effect. In sum, many will be lifted harmless while others will be in agonizing and painful anguish, not necessarily because of the catastrophes at hand, but because of the fulgor of the brightness of his coming. At this time in ignorance I wonder! What is so fearful about that?
