I wonder how soon after they complete it will SLC experience "the big one"?

The 5.7 magnitude of the quake tied directly to that number, serving as a divine marker.
He called it “Moroni’s instrument falling silent,” connecting Isaiah 24:20 where the earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard to the DS being revealed by signs in the earth.

Just as Isaiah said the Servant is “marred more than any man” (Isaiah 52:14), Sherwin taught that the marring would be accompanied by earthquakes—demonstrations—to validate the message.
Thus the 57 is not random, but a signature, a heavenly seal that what he declared about Joseph Smith’s fabrication was punctuated by the earth itself.

Priesthood is the craft of priests, men granting authority to other men while excluding God from the process.

God's authority is simply God's authority, no lineal chain or automatic rights of entitlement.

Yes, and this is why we need to do everything in Jesus' name; our name having no authority.

Negative (or reverse) prophets: If God wants the world to know something important, the LDS prophets will be the last to know. He will tell everyone else first. The "prophets" are highly resistant to the truth. They miss the obvious every time.

Even two world wars could not shake them loose from the insular religion retirement bubble they enforce on themselves and the members. Even those wars could not make them accept an ounce of responsibility for what goes on in the world.

I want to offer a video showing the reaction in Europe to the Charlie Kirk assassination. The 3 million+ person crowds met to support freedom in the UK and in Spain, including freedom from destructive immigration. I submit this as evidence that the world cares a great deal about these matters and is doing something about it, while the people who should be the most concerned and most active, the leaders of the LDS church, go to extreme lengths to ignore and stay away from any of these ideas or activities.

As far as God's plans for our society, again I assume that the LDS leaders will be the last to know. They should be promoting societal improvement to the level of Zion, and then on to the level of the Millennium, but instead they have apparently adopted some form of the Protestant Rapture that relates to the Second Coming of Christ. To me, this just shows how far they have strayed from the teachings and commandments of the Scriptures. They are taking the easy way out on everything.

However, I keep accumulating evidence that as far as the future of this earth, the LDS Church Salt Lake City organization will be totally irrelevant, and will be completely left behind by other processes. They may race to catch up and try to put themselves in front of the movements of history, but by then it will be far too late for that. They seem to imagine that their self-appointed position of privilege today means that God will respect their every wish, and make them the heroes of whatever happens in the last days. However, it seems far more likely that they will be left completely in the dust, even a laughingstock for that final 1000 years.

Other related issues
The church leaders today do not understand, believe in, or obey their own Scriptures. Only a few fragments remain where they retain the original interpretation.

It is a "high demand religion," but it is also a mostly pointless religion, much like the old law of Moses system. It makes little theological or sociological sense in its present form.


The recent nine-part Youtube video series entitled "An Inconvenient Faith" seems like a good effort to spark discussion on the condition of today's church. But we also might call it "A Misunderstood Faith," since outsiders, members, and even the leaders do not understand it very well. This makes intelligent discussion very difficult.


The Internet
We often hear that "the Internet is forever." That might raise the possibility that we could stop the constant deterioration of the gospel as it appears in every dispensation. However, in our case, the Internet entered the social scene when the Gospel was already degraded beyond recognition. That means we would have to get things right theologically and practically first, and then hope that the power of the Internet could help keep it on an even keel

Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy? (Amos 3:7–8)

Michael Sherwin paraphrase wrote: “…because the Spirit of Truth is given only to those who repent and obey Him. Those who reject repentance, or who seek to hold to their own idols while demanding His confirmation, cannot hear the same testimony. This is why the Christian world has fractured into tens of thousands of competing sects. Each one claims the Holy Ghost yet refuses the conditions upon which He is actually poured out.”

As I said in Scandinavia they just start the week on Monday rather than Sunday. The Gregorian calendar, used in much of the western world, was adopted starting in 1582 in Prince-Bishopric of Passau and continuing right up to 2016 in Saudi Arabia. The British Empire, including what would become the United States, didn't adopt it until 1752.

Further the number of days that need to be added to get the local calendar in sync with the Gregorian ranges from 10 days in 1582 to over 13 days currently. All this means that any attempt to fix the "true" day of the Sabbath has long been lost is a morass of calendar calculations and recalculations.
