Another Look at the LDS Institute Manual

Did you know the LDS Institute Manual has a timeline?  An order of events? 
I have used this in the past, but have revisited it to see if the events of today shed new light.   Here is the left side of a two page layout.  Take a moment to review some of the information. 

You can download the whole thing here: ​https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/bc/content/shared/content/images/gospel-library/manual/10734/book-of-revelation-overview_1317093_prt.pdf

Here is the right side of the timeline: 

Observations:  
1.  We are in the 6th Seal still.  The 7th Seal will open with the destruction of the wicked and that has not happened yet.  The idea that there is 20.8 years of a 1/2 hour of silence was only a "theory" and it has not proven out or else the Second Coming would have occurred in 2020.8 AD. 

2.  We are in the 6th Seal.  Notice the "great calamities" and "Zion established" are still to happen.  We know from Revelation 13:5 that the "mouth" or leader of the beast (New World Order) will have 42 months (3.5 years) and then the Savior comes to destroy the wicked.  This is the last 3.5 years before the Savior's Second Coming.  

Also included in this 3.5 years is the "mouth"/leader will drive the Saints into the wilderness (Rev 12) for a time, times and half time (3.5 years).   

The "mouth" will also start the war in Israel called Armageddon (Dan. 11) and Ezek 38 (heading) says Armageddon will usher in the Second Coming.
​
So what happens in the first 3.5 years of a 7 year tribulation? 

The destruction of the wicked is held back until the righteous are sealed!  Wait, what?  Rev 7:14 tells of this "harvest" through the restored gospel that will bring about a seal in the foreheads of these individuals, "redeemed from the earth", representing 12,000 of the 12 tribes, thus the number 144k as a "title".  Rev. 14:1-20 shows the Lamb on Mt. Zion (New Jerusalem) with those who have been sealed.  We will need to start New Jerusalem before the Savior comes to destroy the wicked.  This will happen in the first and last 3.5 years.  

What else will happen in the first 3.5 years?  Daniel tells us about the political nature of kings or "presidents" of a mighty nation.  (Read Dan 11 heading)

• We know this nation is America because "Michael/Adam" comes here.  Adam-ondi-ahman is the place and event.  (Dan. 12:1) 
• We know the "mouth" subdues 3 other kings to become the leader. Dan. 7:24.  Look for 3 kings/presidents to be removed or killed in a row.
• We know there will be wealthy men who create this NWO. Rev 17:12 
• We know these wealthy men will hate the woman who rides on the beast and they will burn her and destroy her.  The woman is D.C. (Rev 17:18)  The Lord will use the wicked to destroy the wicked. 
• We know the dollar devaluation (inflation) will trigger a civil war. (Joseph Smith) 
• We know we will be so weakened by the civil war that we will be invaded by foreign nations. (Joseph Smith) 
• We know that 2 kings/presidents before the last one (#6) will be a pedophile and take us to war in the Isles (Pacific Ocean).  This president does not finish his term and is found no more.  He is a "short feather".  Dan 11:17
• We know from visions (Cardston/Koyle/Warwick) that WWIII will be fought in the Pacific Ocean. 
• We know that the king/president #7 will die after a few days in office. This president will be called the "raiser in taxes".  Dan. 11:20 

Here is where the last 3.5 years will start: 

• We know that the Son of Perdition (the leader of the NWO) will come in as #8. 
• He will drive the Saints into the wilderness (CO) and he will start Armageddon.  Israel will have 2 prophets hold off the world's army for 1,260 days (3.5 years) until the Savior comes to put an end to army.  
• He will shut down the temples with an army and desecrate them.  Dan. 9:27 and Dan. 11:31
• He will have intelligence with those who have broken the holy covenant (temple covenant) and an abomination of desolation will be set (plague) by this last "president /mouth/son of perdition/#8 king/vile person/little horn". 
• We know when #8 comes into office he is met with a flood of arms (civil war).  
• We know his kingdom will be small and full of trouble.  We know he dies while in office.  (Dan 11:45) He is thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone with the false prophet. (Rev 16 and Rev 19:20). 
• The destruction of the wicked with start with his death.  Those who follow him will also be thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone.  Those who take the Mark of the Beast are his followers and will have their name removed from the Book of Life.  
• America (Babylon) will fall within an hour.  Armageddon will be put to an end by the Savior when he comes to destroy the wicked.   The great merchants of the earth who deceived the nations with their sorceries which in Greek is: "Pharmacia" (vaccines) and will be thrown into the lake.  Rev 18:23 
• The Savior will come to the world, but his first coming will have been to the Saints in New Jerusalem at Adam-ondi-ahman.  The Morning of the First Resurrection will happen at this time.  The resurrected will be given a ministry directly from the Savior himself to gather all who will come to Zion.  These Saints will be translated to withstand the coming destruction.  They are children of the light.  They will not suffer the wrath of God. 

Here's a bonus.  The key to the description of the "Beast System" (NWO) 

​Revelation 13 – Key Players and Symbols:

• The Beast out of the sea is conglomerate of degenerate earthly kingdoms.
• The dragon (devil) gives it his power, and in return, they worship him.
• The leader, also called the Beast, is given 42 months (3.5 years) to reign. Then the Savior comes.
• It is a worldwide order (New World Order) All that dwell upon the earth shall worship Satan, EXCEPT those whose names are in the Book of Life.
• If you participate in the captivity or killings you will be killed.
• A Second Beast (false prophet) will arise and cause all to worship the first beast.
• It is the 2nd Beast that causes everyone to take the mark of the beast in order to buy or sell. 666

 
Revelation 17 – Key Players and Symbols:

• Judgment is on the woman/whore that sitteth on many waters.  This whore is the Church of the Devil.  Anyone who does not belong to the Church of the Lamb, 1 Nephi 14, will belong to this church.
• There is a woman who sits on this beast.  The beast is full of names and blasphemy and has seven heads and 10 horns. The woman is the city that reigneth over all the other nations.  (D.C.) She is arrayed in purple and scarlet full of abominations and filthiness.  Upon her forehead is “Mystery Babylon” (America).  The 7 heads are 7 hills. (D.C. is surrounded by 7 hills.)
• The 10 horns are men with the wealth of kings, but no kingdom. (WEF) The 10 horns hate the woman and will destroy her. These horns will also make war with Christ and Christianity.
• There are 8 kings, and the 8th king is one of the 7.  A previous president will take this power.
• God allows this beast to fulfil his will.  The wicked will destroy the wicked.
• (Rev 19) The Beast and False Prophet and those with the mark are thrown in the lake of fire.
