Somebody in the group Zion or Bust posted your video, and I am so glad it came to me. I have had this urgency feeling of preparing since 2019, I'm praying day and night for the redemption of Zion. Thank you for sharing . This video is a beautiful job ❤️
Thank you for listening to the promptings you’ve had to share pieces of what you’ve learned. I’m so grateful that you’ve acknowledged and addressed fear about events surrounding the second coming of the Savior. Although I look forward to that day, I’ve also had big moments of fear and have been praying about the ability to overcome that and trust more in the Lord and his plan for me. This is an absolute direct answer to my recent prayers and has shed new light on things ahead.
Above all the other things this discussion could help with, so glad to hear it has helped some with overcoming fear. The adversary LOVES to cripple us with fear about things ahead. “The future will be glorious.” Thanks for your comment.
Thank you for this, I too have an urging to be at the temple more and as we covenant to laws, in particular the law of consecration my motivation has increased to make changes in my daily life. I find that there is joy in knowing what is coming and that we have so much hope in Christ, His gospel, His way, His charity, His compassion, His mercy and in His return. Regards from Australia, your messages is reaching far.
One of my favorite topics! Establishing Zion! ;) It's always inspiring to me to hear others so eloquently describe what our charge is to seek to establish the cause of Zion in preparation of the Lord's imminent second coming. Getting ourselves ready first, then our families, then gathering in the pure in heart together. It's a higher and holier work that is our mission in the coming months and years. I, too, know that Zion will be redeemed! Thanks, Matt.
Something I know you will appreciate, tomorrow is Tisha B’Av, and Pioneer Day, however in 1847 the pioneers came in on the 21st which happened to be Tisha B’Av, we celebrate on the 24th when Brigham entered the valley, which was 3 days later, the whole trek was 3 years after the death of Joseph, Jews expect Messiah to return on Tisha B’Av, and then the history and time of our temple construction, this is comforting and no one sees these signs all around. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing and putting this series together. I look forward to any future thoughts you feel inspired to share. I feel a great need to study these topics and prepare the best I can. I appreciate the time you take to follow the Spirit and share what you feel prompted to.
I really appreciate your messages. You speak my language and express how I have come to feel about these things. It is rare finding people who share these beliefs. Matt, could you give us the link to the interview with Nikki Hansen? I’ve looked for it without success?
Thanks Linda, so glad they have been helpful for you. Here are those discussions: th-cam.com/video/OznQwSLr_m0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/lMpS6e5W8Q8/w-d-xo.html
We're all lobsters on the Titanic... I personally believe that the publication of the proclamation of the restoration along with the worldwide closing of the temples are indeed prophetic events related to the comming in or fulfillment of the time of the gentiles. This coming October 2023 will have been 3.5 years since those events occurred. I have also learned that the 3.5 years that have passed will culminate with the Sukkot festival for 2023. Immediately followed by the eclipse Oct 14th. If my understanding of Daniel is correct we're in for a wild ride following this October general conference.
Lobsters on the Titanic is a great analogy for this moment for those striving to follow the Savior. Those events along with the solemn assembly and others were certainly meaningful. October could indeed be very interesting. With more certainty I know the period between now and April will be full of miracles and perhaps hardships.
@@kcmattp At times it becomes difficult when so many Latter-day Saints are having revelations and dreams etc and become stuck on the one piece of the puzzle they received. Watching your videos I've connected a couple of the pieces I've received with the ones you are presenting. Like you point out in your next video, it's better to unite in Christ rather than think of ourselves in terms of survival of the fittest and everyone for themselves.
I am in the middle of the 3rd video and taking as many notes as I can. The first video regarding technology gave me a new perspective. Thank you! Do you have notes outlined for these videos? Like a power point or even a word document? I will probably take my own notes anyway, as that is how I learn best. But I was just wondering. I’ve noticed a distinct difference in the community being built around me - we are building a beautiful network of God loving families like I’ve never experienced before. It’s incredible to be a part of and witness my own heart changing. It is of great value to me to hear confirmation that this is happening in many locations. I also believe we have been brought to our community for very specific reasons.
There will be a way back for all who are intended to go there, countless privileges, blessings and miracles upon the faithful between now and when he comes again
In your written presentation you accidentally have quoted President Nelson (at 1:10:42) to try to care about the things of this world more than of God. 😊
D&C 61:16 implies how many of the righteous will reach Zion. And those of other countries will be shepherded here miraculously by the 144,000 and those who will assist him. This is how people of other countries will come safely to Zion. See 3 Nephi 21:21-24, which Matt shares at the 30 minute mark.
We have been trying to move for a long time to start homesteading and it just hasn’t worked out yet. Actively looking every week but the just hasn’t revealed it to us yet
I’m sure he put it in your heart for a reason and that when the time is right he’ll open the opportunity, even if that is in Zion in short years ahead. that kind of lifestyle will be the norm before long.
Something just came to mind. You were speaking about if New Jerusalem is built in a time of Peace or Tribulation. In the scripture back in Ether 13 it mentions that it is a TYPE of Joseph. I wonder if those people who are to go will go during the time of famine just as the sons of Jacob went down to Egypt in a time of famine to buy grain??
I definitely think it will be in a time of tribulation, like the sons of Jacob traveling to Egypt. Interesting and good comparison, thanks for your comments!
I would offer the following point of correction: When the Lord is anointed King of Kings (after returning to dwell in New Jerusalem), the trumpet sounds and the Sign of the Coming of the Son of Man appears on the horizon. That sign is the slow and gradual return of the City of Enoch; it grows closer as the events in old Jerusalem occur, including the Mount of Olives appearance. Then, finally, after the 1/2 hour of silence in heaven (since the King is on Earth) that Zion reunion you had ealier on ( between Enoch and Zion on Earth) occurs in conjunction with that final coming to all the world, when Earth receives her paradisical glory. All the best! Check out Zion or Bust!
@@kcmattp Just reinforcing that the City of Enoch doesn't meet Zion below until the Lord's final appearance to all the world at once (i.e. Great and Dreadful Day).
@@mattctr indeed. I don’t think the discussion says that it happens at a different window of time, certainly doesn’t do so intentionally. “When the time comes that these calamities we read of shall overtake the earth, those that are prepared will have the power of translation, as they had in former times, and the city will be translated. And Zion that is on the earth will rise, and the Zion above will descend, as we are told, and we will meet and fall on each other’s necks and embrace and kiss each other. And thus the purposes of God to a certain extent will then be fulfilled” -John Taylor
@@kcmattp Right. Love the quote. We build Zion, welcome the Lord, see Him anointed, and hear the 1st global trumpet all before the Sign of the Coming of the Son of Man appears on the horizon (the world will think it's a comet or planet)... Transfiguration and Translation will definitely be required to dwell with the Lord in Zion before He appears to the Jews and before He appears to all the world at once, when we finally meet Enoch’s Zion above and descend to the millennial, paradisical Earth. Thanks for sharing the words of prophets and apostles without monetizing this video. If it were monetized, I couldn't trust it as your sincere beliefs. As it stands, I believe we can begin to see eye-to-eye on revealed truth. 🙏
@@mattctr I would never monetize these. As it is, I had to find a way to stop TH-cam from doing its ads in the middle (hopefully working) by becoming a “partner“ and setting all videos to off on monetization which allowed me to turn off their midroll ads. Thanks for your comments.
Please forgive me my ignorance... re: those who are called to live in the New Jerusalem during the calamities.... are they limited to only those living the Celestial law? I thought those living the Terrestrial law would also be "allowed in" so to speak.
If you would be so kind to define simply the term “Redemption of Zion”. Is it a Devine rescue of the Lord’s faithful before the Great and Dreadful day of the Lord?
Consecration and the pure love of Christ (charity) are celestial principles and laws. There of course could be much more written about celestial law, those are a place to start. There is a fair amount in this discussion about consecration, but the temple is key to understanding it and celestial law generally.“This persecution and expulsion [from Missouri] never would have occurred had the people observed the law which the Lord required. That law was simply the law of consecration--a law of the celestial kingdom. (The Teachings of Lorenzo Snow, edited by Clyde J. Williams [1984], p.164) emp.byui.edu/satterfieldb/pdf/quotes/celestial%20law.pdf
I also really like Lili de Hoyos Anderson’s discussions of the 3 degrees of glory (see Choosing Glory book/podcast). Making and keeping covenants are the keys to living celestial law-beginning with baptism as the gateway in, and progressing through the 3 degrees of the celestial kingdom the more covenants you make & keep (see DC 131). But certainly, once those covenants are made, the work of keeping the covenants is everything we learn to do in the temple, including consecrating and living/acting with charity. (Terrestrial law would be living a really good, circumspect life, but without the covenants in place; Telestial law is not trying to do anything more than please the natural man/feed our appetites.)
There is thought that the New Jerusalem will be in Salt Lake City and that old Jerusalem and SLC are almost exactly alike geographically. I think it's Scott (Watcher Palmer) Palmer on You Tube that is trying to convince his audience of this. Have you heard that theory? Not sure how he comes up with it🤔
@@misfyresalotif you look in scripture you will find that the new Jerusalem is supposed to be huge, thousands of miles wide. SLC fits into it if it’s on the very western boundary and Jackson county is the very east edge. So maybe that’s where he’s getting that. Rev 21:10-17
You said the new Jerusalem will be built after the second coming. You also said the new Jerusalem is for the safety of some people, since not all faithful will end up there. Meaning the other groups of the faithful will have places of safety through world - that is true and it’s what Church has taught us. Why would we still be concerned about our safety AFTER the second coming? Won’t we be safely with Jesus already?
It will be built far before He comes in His glory. I think you have misunderstood something in the video. He does come at least three times before His coming in His glory.
I love that. My world isn’t falling apart, Babylon is. ❤️

Thank you so much for your comment, the temple is a place to be! The future will indeed be glorious for those who are prepared!
It was perfect to me, brother Jeppson. Thank you so much. I have now a few things to ponder more about and start working to better my preparation.
So glad to hear it, thanks!

Yes and look what happened on October 7th, 1,290 days after the daily sacrifice (temples) closed.
