I'm a lurker - I've been watching for a while and haven't commented. But I flipping loved this video, your insight, and your beautiful light. And I'm so excited! Any time now!
I too was impressed by President Oak's talk in the Christmas Devotional. I confess I don’t usually watch the Christmas Devitional, but was impressed to watch this one. I'm so glad I did. I even encouraged the elders in my ward to really watch this one. I wish I'd made that amazing "catch" you did first.
Especially when dealing with a quote and using [ ]. I'm a lawyer and have written at a high level. I wouldn't do it unless it was intentional, and I knew that I was slightly changing the meaning. If i wasn't changing the meaning, I'd leave the quote. His training is at a similar (if not higher) level.
This was marvelous. He definitely would have chosen his words very carefully especially if he was deviating from "the script." Such a good catch. Very VERY well done.
Yesterday I was blessed to be able to spend some time in the temple doing sealings, and I was alerted as to how many times the phrase clothed in glory, righteousness, and power was spoken. This has also been speaking loudly to me in my scripture study. I have been pondering how can we do better at praising the Lord?. How do we bless the Lord? How interesting that glory, light, Spirit, and understanding are synonymous in the scriptures.
Great video. I've heard others say that President Nelson has also started using the phrase "last days" when he speaks instead of "latter days." That is almost identical to sometime in that it gives it more imminence and urgency! So cool that AI picked up on that.
This is just so exciting! I can’t wait to see Him. Thank you for watching so closely for subtle signs and sharing your work here! Your light is bright and beautiful. Maligayang Pasko from the Philippines (sr missionaries here)!
Thank you for watching!!! - ahh the Philippines!! How fun!!! I served with a sister from there! 🥰 Enjoy!! I hope to serve a senior mission one day with my husband! (In the millennium, hopefully!) 😂
I liked this one a lot, Kaitlyn! Thanks for all the work u do to bring these podcasts to us and for putting up with all the harassment you get! You are a hero!!
This was such a great observation! Thanks for sharing it with us! Everything the prophet and the apostles are saying is leading us to know that the second coming of Jesus Christ is imminent. thank you
@@AnticipatingChristsreturn I am so ready for Him to return! I appreciate you bringing attention to things that help us prepare for that glorious return!
Kaitlyn! I love this! Thank you!! Excellent find! And I feel 100% like you about that verse of scripture. I actually asked on Jared's video yesterday and asked for people's insights on WHY President Nelson keeps bringing this up. Because prophets bring things up for emphasis, not just because they sound pretty. So with all of his emphasis on this, there has to be a deeper meaning to it. And of all of the Second Coming scriptures or prophesies, why this one? Some of the replies to my question were awesome, and some were very dismissive - so I'm glad to hear that you're pondering it too to try to get to the meat of it! I have thought that I should go through the Topical Guide on "Glory of God", and I've wondered if there's something to be learned from studying the Mount of Transfiguration experience as well. Because on the Mount of Transfiguration, the apostles saw The Glory of the Lord. Also, another take on it (sorry! I've also been pondering this. haha) is that the Work and Glory of God is the immortality and eternal life of man. So could a part of it be a reference to the Resurrected beings who will return with Him at His coming? And I also totally agree that what he left out was just as loud as what he said. I'm glad you pointed that out.
Thank you so much for this comment!!! I was discussing it with my husband last night and he pointed out the mount of transfiguration as well!! You can bet this won’t be my last video on this subject!!! It seems to be important and urgent and soon!
I dont mean to be a Troll. But I miss Gordon B. HInkley.. I have a special testimony of him.. Im still trying to find one with Oaks.. He seems to always be "the mean one" Mr Grinch... LOL! But he did give a good Christmas Talk this devotional. I grew up strict Mormon and then had mental breakdown PTSD depression anxiety. And another Christian taught me of Gods love and Grace that I never new. I'm still active in the church. I just feel like growing up our leaders wanted perfection or close to it! I"m done trying to be perfect or a "pharisee". I go straight to Christ and fall at his knees. "and the glory of the lord"
I am so sorry that you have struggled with ptsd and depression. I definitely think there are prophets like Gordon B Hinkley who are so funny and loving… but i definitely think we are at a time and the Lord knows who He will need to lead His church. But I agree, I still get emotional when I hear President Hinckley or President Monson speak… If I’m being completely honest, I was not looking forward to President Nelson… however I quickly realized that the Mantle of the prophet is real!! He has surprised me and quickly became my new “favorite!” (Can I say that?)

Hang in there until the millennium! So many of the issues we deal with in this fallen world will be removed. Like a helium balloon that's been tied to a child and is suddenly set free, we will be able to soar upwards and progress according to our true desires! I pray for that day.
They - the apostles and prophets all say it is closer than ever - the difference between day and time is not an issue. Time is measured only by man. The issue is what are you personally doing.
Google tells us-Someday: An adverb that means "at some point in the future" or "eventually". Sometime: An adverb that means "at some point" in the future or PAST. It's often synonymous with "someday", "one day", or "sooner or later". However, maybe President Oaks just misspoke and the editors “corrected” it by placing the brackets- to let us know that that wasn’t the original word found in The Living Christ. 🤷♀️
Sister Nelson just gave a talk that asked a question. What would you do if you found out that Christ has returned to the earth, to visit his servants in private, preparing for his public return. Cleon Skousen said he would return to the earth and meet with modern servants, preparing for his return. President Oaks is very thoughtful with his words, and is very intentional with his words. Do you think President Nelson is encouraging his wife and the other 14 to share the subtle messages of his return. He actually has been very bold and direct in his messages to the world to get ready for his return.
I’ve heard that one prophetic day is equivalent to one calendar year. Which is why he probably removed the term day and is now suggesting it’s within a year. So he actually doubled down that it’s happening faster than we think.
@@AnticipatingChristsreturn this is a lot but here goes. The concept of one prophetic day equating to a calendar year originates from certain interpretations of the Bible, particularly within prophetic contexts. While not universally accepted by all Christian traditions, this principle, known as the “day-year principle,” has been applied in interpreting certain biblical prophecies, especially by historicist and some apocalyptic traditions. Biblical Basis for the Day-Year Principle 1. Ezekiel 4:6 • “I have appointed thee each day for a year.” • Here, God tells Ezekiel to lie on his side for a specific number of days to symbolically represent years of iniquity for Israel and Judah. 2. Numbers 14:34 • “After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years.” • This passage applies the day-year principle to the Israelites’ punishment for their unbelief.

Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 12:6, 14 (“Time, Times, and Half a Time”) • A “time” is interpreted as a year, with the three-and-a-half “times” adding up to 1,260 days, which some interpret as 1,260 literal years. 3. Revelation 11:2-3 (42 Months = 1,260 Days) • This period is also interpreted as 1,260 years in some historicist traditions. Significance of the Day-Year Principle 1. Historicist View • This principle has been used by historicist interpreters (e.g., Protestant reformers and Seventh-day Adventists) to explain long periods of church history and to connect biblical prophecy to actual historical events. 2. Symbolism • In prophetic contexts, the use of a day to represent a year is seen as a way to convey the expansive nature of God’s plans in human history. Cautions and Criticism 1. Symbolic vs. Literal • Not all traditions accept the day-year principle. Some argue that time periods in prophecy may be symbolic or literal but not necessarily equivalent to years. 2. Context Matters • The principle is not applied uniformly across all scriptures; it is primarily used for symbolic, apocalyptic texts. Conclusion In some interpretations of biblical prophecy, one prophetic day is equivalent to one calendar year, based on specific verses and applied primarily to apocalyptic texts like Daniel and Revelation. However, the principle is not universally accepted, and its use depends on the theological framework and approach to interpreting prophecy.
I agree with the differentiation that ChatGPT made of some day and some time, and P. Oaks wanted to make that change for some reason (the second coming is within sight).
AI will tell you what you want to hear. It's designed to be enthusiastic in it's responses. I know you're probably being careful, but please....be careful. It's a very, very flawed tool. I use it regularly, and it's so bad it's shocking that so many companies are jumping into it.
That said, I very, very, very much hope that the Savior returns SOON. I hope it's tomorrow morning. I do believe it's in sight. Please don't think I'm attempting to take anything away from that. I just do not trust AI.
Think of Daniels prophesy, “time, times and half a time” this means 3.5 years…… I cannot help but wonder if “sometime” is somehow related to the biblical reference to “time” meaning a year?
Unfortunately all Denominations have error mixed in with some truth. Some have more error than others, but until Christians start giving their obedience to God, and seek to please G Him by honoring His Ten Commandments, then they will continue bring misled. We should want to keep the commandments of God, as we learn to keep our faith of Jesus.
You caught it when you used the day example. The next time it's said it will be instead of sometime, soon. After that, he is here. The parable of the 10 virgins is close to the point of no return. You will bear the Sons glory if your lamp is ready for your transfiguration. Also, soon, you will hear the Prophets speaking as Joseph Smith did in the Doctrine and Covenants. You touched it. By the way do not use the A1 thinking. You will push the spirit away. Ponder Brigham Young, and then John 17:3. If you know what I mean, than the spirit will open your mind and you will know and realize what you need to be prepared to hear and to accept before the day comes. Here is a tough clue. The United Order. The clue isn't we must follow the United Order (we will). The clue involves being ready. Are you?
Despite popular opinion here... it really looks to me like Pres Oaks simply misspoke and therefore they had to put "sometime" in parenthesis in the written transcript. When you hear him say it, he pauses ever so slightly between "some" and "time"... like he couldn't quite read the word on the teleprompter. I know, not very exciting or dramatic. There are SO many prophecies in scripture that still need to happen before His return (which "his return" is in itself actually multiple "returns" - New Jerusalem, Adam Ondi Aman, Mount of Olives, entire world). We should be careful not to read to deeply into little things like this
I’m happy to agree to disagree… it seems like you are trying hard to disregard what President Oaks said and carefully put into his written talk.. not just a mistake… he writes his talks, submits them to correlation, way before he gives them. You will notice when they mess up in general conference they don’t go back and edit the written talks to match what they said… there is just simply a slight difference. I personally would rather be a little too prepared and read into things that could be of importance… than just throw out what they say as a mistake and not be prepared. I don’t think prophecy always comes to pass the way we think it will. So if they are emphasizing this.. which they are…(You can’t deny that they are backing up President Nelson’s words, with their own words and with the song choices) it must be because they simply know something that we don’t know.
@@AnticipatingChristsreturn Except that is my point. I don't think Pres Oaks wrote the word "sometime" in his talk. He was quoting The Living Christ document - I don't believe a meticulous, deliberate, "legal minded" man such as Pres Oaks would take liberties with changing one word in a sacred, established doctrinal document intentionally. (And if he ever did intentionally make a change, he would explain to his audience what he was doing) That's why I believe he simply misspoke. And because he did, that is why the "sometimes" has parenthesis in the transcript. But I totally agree with you on the sense of urgency of the brethren to exhort us to prepare for Christ's return now more than ever. And that the Second Coming is indeed closer than ever
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your SONS and your DAUGHTERS shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your YOUNG MEN shall see visions.” I’m LDS, but come on! His talk can’t get much more vague! I love the church but GIVE US SOMETHING MORE TO WORK WITH!!! I now watch prophecy from other Christian churches as well as (more than) our own, trying to see what is in common between what they’re all seeing and hearing. Their prophecy is much more specific and colorful, from kids on up to old people, men and women. I know God loves all people so would offer prophecy to those in other faiths as well. I love our church but I WANT MORE THAN WHAT THEY’RE GIVING US!!!
I don't get it. Even you are misquoting. 🤦🏻♂️ The Living Christ says: "... return to Earth", not "return to the Earth". Neither misquote means a hill of beans difference. So what's your point? Straining at a gnat is pretty fruitless.
I'm a lurker - I've been watching for a while and haven't commented. But I flipping loved this video, your insight, and your beautiful light. And I'm so excited! Any time now!

Kaitlyn, so wonderful you noticed the change President Oaks used in his message. I too believe that his words were carefully and intentionally chosen.
Thank you!!! It was definitely intentional!!

I even encouraged the elders in my ward to really watch this one. I wish I'd made that amazing "catch" you did first.
I agree, much more urgent.
Right?!?! I think so too!!!
Lawyers deal in words. Every word has to be exactly what is meant. Because of this, I agree with your take on his message. ❤
Wow!!!!🤯 yeah you’re right!!!!

His talk can’t get much more vague! I love the church but GIVE US SOMETHING MORE TO WORK WITH!!! I now watch prophecy from other Christian churches as well as (more than) our own, trying to see what is in common between what they’re all seeing and hearing. Their prophecy is much more specific and colorful, from kids on up to old people, men and women.
I know God loves all people so would offer prophecy to those in other faiths as well. I love our church but I WANT MORE THAN WHAT THEY’RE GIVING US!!!
I enjoy what you have to say, but your hair distracts me. I’m sorry!
What would you like me to do? Shave it?
@@AnticipatingChristsreturn I love your hair! It's spunky!
Thank you! I love you! ❤️😘
I don't get it. Even you are misquoting. 🤦🏻♂️ The Living Christ says: "... return to Earth", not "return to the Earth". Neither misquote means a hill of beans difference. So what's your point? Straining at a gnat is pretty fruitless.
