THE FIRST PRESIDENCY ANNOUNCED THAT A MAJOR LAST-DAYS PROPHECY IS BEING FULFILLED… 2027 COULD BE HISTORIC 🔥

“He saw this place.”

I had to listen to Elder Ronald A. Rasband’s new message several times, because what he says about Isaiah, the Salt Lake Temple, and 2027 is extraordinary.

But there is an important detail almost everyone is overlooking.

This symbolism did not originate with Elder Rasband.

Standing beside the new granite monument at Temple Square, Elder Rasband explains:

“The First Presidency felt that we should have this monument here…”

And what is written on that monument?

Isaiah chapter 2.

The famous prophecy specifically introduced with the words:

“And it shall come to pass in the LAST DAYS…”

Isaiah then sees the mountain of the Lord’s house established and “all nations” flowing unto it.

Look at the scene the First Presidency chose to create.

The prophecy is carved into stone.

The Salt Lake Temple rises behind it.

And surrounding it are the flags of the nations of the world. 🌎

Then Elder Rasband looks at all of this and says:

“THIS IS THAT PLACE.”

And he doesn’t stop there.

He says he imagines Isaiah actually saw this scene of the Salt Lake Temple in vision.

Then comes perhaps the strongest statement of all:

“Literally think of the Salt Lake Temple fulfilling this prophecy in Isaiah chapter two.”

🔥 That changes the conversation.

Because in 2027, the renovated Salt Lake Temple will open to the public before its rededication.

Millions are expected to come.

And Elder Rasband says:

“Literally all nations in the world are going to be flowing to Salt Lake City, Utah, to the mountain of the Lord’s house.”

Think about how literal that could become.

For a limited period, people from nations across the earth will be able to walk through the doors of the very temple Elder Rasband says Isaiah saw.

And then those doors will close for rededication.

So what exactly are we watching unfold?

And how much last-days prophecy could already be happening while many of us are still waiting for it to begin?

There is an important caution here.

This does NOT mean Salt Lake City has replaced the New Jerusalem in Jackson County, Missouri.

And it does NOT give us a date for the Second Coming.

In fact, Elder Bruce R. McConkie taught something crucial about Isaiah 2:

“This great prophecy … is subject to the law of multiple fulfilment.”

That may be the key.

Prophecy does not necessarily unfold as a simple checklist.

Some prophecies can have multiple fulfillments.

Some can unfold in stages.

And some events associated with the return of Jesus Christ may already be underway while other enormous events remain ahead.

That is why I think 2027 could be historic.

Not because we know what happens next.

But because an Apostle is explicitly asking us to recognize a last-days prophecy being fulfilled in front of us.

So I want to hear from you:

👇 Do you believe Isaiah actually saw the Salt Lake Temple?

👇 Do you believe “all nations shall flow unto it” could receive an extraordinary literal fulfillment in 2027?

👇 And perhaps most importantly: Could we miss prophecy simply because it happens differently—or earlier—than we expected?

I go much deeper into the New Jerusalem, Jackson County, Adam-ondi-Ahman, multiple prophetic fulfillments, and what all of this could mean for the events preceding the return of Jesus Christ in the new episode.

THE PRIMARY CHANGE NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT… AND THE CALLING & ELECTION PROMISE HIDDEN BENEATH IT! 👀🔥
Watch Full Video In Usual Place!
A quiet change is coming to Primary in 2027—but there may be something much deeper happening beneath it.
The newly revealed monthly lessons move through prayer, prophets, commandments, baptism, Church membership, family, missionary work, service, priesthood power and ultimately the temple.
Read together, they begin to look remarkably like a spiritual pathway. 🕊️
But then the outgoing Primary general presidency pointed repeatedly toward 3 Nephi—where Jesus Christ invited people to come forward, see, feel and know Him one by one.
And the children were placed at the center.
What if Primary isn't only about adults preparing children to meet Jesus Christ?
What if Christ is using children to prepare adults to receive Him? 👧🧒✨
President Susan H. Porter's final testimony leads into profound teachings about covenants, the veil and returning to God's presence—connecting beautifully with scriptural promises concerning the divine nature, calling and election, and the Comforter.
Not a formula. Not a countdown.
But a remarkable invitation:
Become as a little child—and come unto Christ. ✝️
Has a child ever taught YOU something about Jesus Christ?

THE CHURCH JUST DROPPED A PROPHETIC TRAILER… RIGHT BEFORE GENERAL CONFERENCE ⚠️🔥

“The day of the Lord WILL come.”

The Church just released its new trailer for October 2026 General Conference, and there is something remarkable happening in it.

It begins with a Book of Mormon.

The pages turn seemingly on their own… and suddenly stop at 2 Nephi 25:26.

Then the words begin glowing:

✨ “WE REJOICE IN CHRIST.”

That caught my attention immediately.

Why?

Because only days ago President Dieter F. Uchtdorf announced “Rejoice in Christ” as the theme surrounding the historic Salt Lake Temple celebration in 2027.

Then the Church announced that Rejoice in Christ will also be the worldwide youth theme for 2027.

And now the NEW General Conference trailer opens with:

“We talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we PROPHESY of Christ…”

Then something fascinating happens.

The ancient words of Nephi give way to the voices of living prophets and Apostles.

President Eyring:

“He lives.”

President Uchtdorf:

“He lives today, at this moment.”

Then President D. Todd Christofferson declares:

🔥 “BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME.”

Followed by:

“When He shall appear…”

And:

“Every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ.”

That is unmistakably pointing toward the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

But there is another connection I find even more interesting.

The new youth theme comes from Philippians 4:4:

“Rejoice in the Lord alway.”

Read the NEXT verse:

⚠️ “THE LORD IS AT HAND.”

Earlier this year the Church released a General Conference promotion declaring:

“HE IS NEAR!”

Now:

“The Lord is at hand.”

“The day of the Lord will come.”

“When He shall appear…”

Something is being emphasized.

And I believe the message is not fear.

It is preparation with JOY.

Isaiah repeatedly tells Zion to awake, arise, shine, gather Israel, prepare the way of the Lord—and rejoice in His salvation.

I believe we should be watching these prophecies very carefully as we approach General Conference and move toward the extraordinary events of 2027.

🎥 In today’s episode we break down the trailer carefully, examine the scriptures behind it, and ask what the Church may be preparing us to understand.

👇 I really want to hear your thoughts: Why do YOU think “Rejoice in Christ” is suddenly appearing everywhere?

And what do you expect to hear at October General Conference?

The day of the Lord WILL come.

And I believe these are extraordinary days to be alive. ❤️🔥

THE “SATANIC TEMPLE” CONSPIRACY? THE EVIDENCE MAY TELL A VERY DIFFERENT STORY… ⚠️🏛️
Watch Full Video In Usual Place!
A reference to Olympic professionals helping with the Salt Lake Temple Celebration has exploded into an extraordinarily serious conspiracy theory.
At the center is advertising executive Gordon Bowen, who worked on the 2002 Winter Olympics and has acknowledged contributing in some capacity to a temple open house.
But online accusations go MUCH further—alleging horrific crimes, satanic ritual abuse, secret combinations, and even a cover-up inside the Church Office Building.
So what has actually been proven? 🔍
There is a difference between contributing to a project and directing it.
There is a difference between an allegation and a verdict.
And there is a difference between asking difficult questions and creating a theory where every denial becomes proof of the conspiracy.
Four Apostles are actively overseeing the Salt Lake Temple Celebration.
Are they really being deceived by people beneath them?
Or are members being asked to trust unauthenticated documents, screenshots and internet theories more than living prophets and apostles?
This episode follows the evidence carefully—because accusations this serious demand something stronger than suspicion.
Discernment requires questions. But it also requires evidence. 🕊️⚖️

PRESIDENT UCHTDORF QUIETLY ISSUES A TEMPLE WARNING FOR 2027… “DIFFICULTIES LIE AHEAD” ⚠️🏛️

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf just stood beside the newly strengthened Salt Lake Temple and delivered a message that I believe deserves far more attention than it is getting.

Because while everyone was talking about the historic 2027 open house — including the astonishing announcement that ONE MILLION tour spaces were claimed in less than 24 hours — President Uchtdorf kept bringing the conversation back to something underneath the temple:

THE FOUNDATION.

And then he turned that symbolism directly toward us.

This is where his remarks become fascinating.

After seven years of renovation, the Salt Lake Temple has been placed upon an extraordinary seismic foundation designed to withstand tremendous movement. President Uchtdorf explained that when an earthquake comes, the temple can actually move back and forth without breaking.

Then he said there is “something for us to learn” from that.

He spoke about finding spiritual “base isolators.”

He spoke about “steel strengthening moments.”

And he described remaining firm in Jesus Christ “when the storm comes” and “when the earthquake comes.”

But the statement that really caught my attention came near the end.

As President Uchtdorf looked toward the coming year, he invited us to examine our own lives and determine where our foundations need to be “strengthened and renewed” so that we can:

“withstand the difficulties and the challenges which always lie ahead.”

Read that again.

Strengthen the foundation.
Prepare for the future.
Withstand what lies ahead.

And this is happening as we approach 2027 — the year the Salt Lake Temple will reopen and millions of people may travel to Temple Square.

Do you think President Uchtdorf was simply using the temple as an interesting object lesson?

Or is there a deeper warning here about the spiritual preparation the Lord expects from His people right now?

👇 Tell me what you think in the comments. I especially want to hear what you believe the “foundation” represents in your own life.

What makes this even more striking is that President Russell M. Nelson previously stood amid this same Salt Lake Temple renovation and warned that these are the latter days — teaching that we would need a firm spiritual foundation in Jesus Christ to withstand the “forthcoming perils and pressures.”

Back then, the temple's foundation was still being rebuilt.

Now the foundation is finished.

And President Uchtdorf is asking us to look at ours.

But there is another half to this message that I absolutely love.

President Uchtdorf did NOT announce a theme of fear.

The theme for the coming Salt Lake Temple celebration is:

✨ REJOICE IN CHRIST. ✨

That may be the most important part of all of this.

The world can shake — and we can still rejoice.

Storms can come — and we can remain standing.

Difficulty can increase — and disciples of Jesus Christ can move through it with faith rather than fear.

I believe Jesus Christ is coming again.

I believe the Lord is preparing His people.

And I believe the purpose of these warnings is not to terrify us about the future.

It is to make us strong enough to meet it.

Why do you think President Uchtdorf chose THIS moment — right before 2027 — to bring us back to the foundation of the Salt Lake Temple?

IS THE CHURCH BUILDING ITS OWN SCOUTING PROGRAM… FOR THE SECOND COMING? 🏕️🔥

Something fascinating is happening with the Church’s Young Men program—and I think the timing deserves much more attention.

Luke Nichols of Outdoor Boys has now appeared in a new Church Young Men video.

And Luke isn’t simply an outdoor YouTuber anymore.

He now serves on the Young Men General Advisory Council, working directly with the leadership responsible for the Young Men program.

So when a video featuring Luke shows young men camping, fishing, learning practical skills and spending time outdoors, it naturally raises an interesting question:

👉 Is the Church beginning to build something that restores some of what Scouting once provided?

Luke does NOT announce that Boy Scouts are coming back.

But he does reveal something important.

He says that “over the next few years” the Young Men General Presidency and Advisory Council will be releasing additional activity plans, ideas and resources to help parents and local leaders create more meaningful youth activities.

And Church leaders have now revealed that this includes MORE THAN 100 activity ideas being developed for Gospel Library, along with monthly suggestions in For the Strength of Youth and new ideas distributed through Church social-media channels.

That alone is interesting.

But then this story becomes much bigger. 🔥

The Church’s new youth curriculum begins September 6, and Young Men General President Timothy L. Farnes connects it directly with President Nelson’s warning about a coming day when the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost will become essential to our spiritual survival.

President Emily Belle Freeman says the curriculum has deliberately expanded because there were things youth “weren’t learning previously.”

President Oaks has counseled leaders to “get into the doctrine sooner.”

Missionary preparation is being woven directly into the program.

Adult leaders are being asked to mentor more intentionally.

Activities are being tied to discipleship, service, belonging and missionary work.

And then President Freeman says something extraordinary:

🔥 “Our greatest work as leaders right now of this generation of youth is to prepare them for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.”

She says these are the things that are “needed now” to prepare youth for “what is ahead for them.”

That completely changes the context.

This isn’t just about shorter classes.

It isn’t just about better activities.

And perhaps it isn’t even primarily about whether the Church creates something resembling the old Scouting program.

The much bigger question is:

⚠️ WHY IS THE LORD PREPARING THIS GENERATION SO INTENTIONALLY RIGHT NOW?

Why the stronger emphasis on doctrine?

Why daily revelation?

Why missionary preparation?

Why practical activities?

Why stronger mentors?

Why spiritual survival?

And why are Church leaders explicitly connecting these changes with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ?

In today’s episode, we examine Luke Nichols’ new Young Men video, the 100+ activities now being developed, the September 6 changes, and remarkable new statements from Presidents Farnes and Freeman about what this generation is being prepared to face.

I know Jesus Christ is coming again.

And I believe His return is nearer than many people think.

THE SAVIOR SAW THEM STRUGGLING—BUT HE DID NOT CALM THE STORM YET 🌊✝️
Watch Full Video In Usual Place!
The disciples were caught in a violent storm because they had obeyed Jesus Christ.
They rowed for hours. The wind fought against them. The night grew darker.
They couldn't see Jesus.
But Jesus could see them. 🌌
And yet—He allowed them to keep rowing.
That detail from a powerful BYU devotional raises a profound question:
What if enduring to the end doesn't always mean enduring until the trial ends?
Sometimes the storm remains.
Sometimes the prayer isn't answered the way we hoped.
Sometimes Christ reaches out His hand—and we still have to walk with Him through the wind. ✝️
Maybe that's part of what the Lord is preparing before His return.
Not simply people who recognize the signs…
but people who have become like Him.
Keep rowing.
Draw closer to Christ.
Walk with Him through it. 🌊🕊️
Perhaps the most important question isn't, “How close are we to the Second Coming?”
It's:
“How close are we to Jesus Christ?”

PRESIDENT NELSON LEFT PRESIDENT OAKS A FINAL CHALLENGE… IS IT BEHIND THESE SUNDAY CHANGES?

Something much bigger than a 25-minute Sunday School class may be unfolding in the Church right now.

On September 6, the new worldwide Sunday schedule officially begins. Sunday School will meet every week. Relief Society and elders quorum will meet every week. The Church has released an unusual amount of training explaining not only how this is supposed to work, but why it matters.

And one sentence in the official implementation guide immediately caught my attention:

“This is more than a schedule change.”

That takes on even greater significance when we remember something President Oaks revealed after President Nelson passed away.

Just two days before President Nelson died, Presidents Oaks and Eyring visited him. President Oaks later said:

“We expressed our love for him and gave him assurances that we were carrying on with the decisions he had made.”

Then, after becoming President of the Church, President Oaks added another remarkable statement:

“We have much work to do to fulfill the challenges he has given us. And there is more yet to come.”

So here is the question I cannot stop thinking about:

Are we watching part of that work unfold right now?

I don't think these new videos are primarily about rearranging classes.

In fact, after studying what Elder Bednar, Elder Kearon, President Camille N. Johnson, Elder Arnulfo Valenzuela and President Paul V. Johnson are actually teaching, I think the change runs much deeper.

The Church is expecting something to happen throughout the entire week.

Members study at home. They seek revelation. They receive impressions from the Holy Ghost. Then they arrive at Church with something to contribute—and what the Lord has taught one person may strengthen somebody else.

That brings us back to the sacrament.

Every week we receive the promise that we may “always have his Spirit to be with [us].”

Always.

Not simply while sitting in the chapel.

The Church appears to be teaching us how to live inside that promise throughout the week—and then return to the sacrament table prepared to renew it again.

That is why I increasingly think these aren't really class changes.

They are SACRAMENT changes.

And there's another major implication.

For years, some have theorized that “home-centered Church” meant we were gradually moving toward meeting together less—or perhaps eventually worshipping almost entirely at home.

The new schedule seriously challenges that theory.

The Church is doing the opposite.

Sunday School, Relief Society and elders quorum will now gather every week, and Elder Valenzuela explains why:

“We meet more often so we can truly speak with one another.”

The home is becoming stronger.

But so is the gathering of the Saints.

And that matters when President Nelson warned that in coming days we would not be able to survive spiritually without the constant influence of the Holy Ghost—and President Oaks deliberately repeated that warning this year.

I believe all of these pieces are pointing in the same direction.

The Lord is preparing stronger Saints—more capable of receiving revelation, more deeply connected through covenant, more centered upon Jesus Christ, and better prepared for the conditions of the last days.

And President Oaks has already told us:

“There is more yet to come.”

What comes next?

I think the clues are beginning to emerge.

🔥 LINK TO THE FULL EPISODE IS IN THE COMMENTS.

Watch it and tell me what you think: Is this new Sunday schedule part of the “challenges” President Nelson left President Oaks to fulfill—and what do you believe the Lord is preparing His Church for next?

ARMED MAN REPORTEDLY ENTERED A UTAH LDS MEETINGHOUSE 🚨⛪
Watch Full Video In Usual Place!
A disturbing report from a Utah ward is raising an uncomfortable question for Latter-day Saint families:
Are our meetinghouses prepared for a serious security threat?
According to a ward member interviewed by the YouTube channel Send Me, an armed stranger reportedly entered an LDS meetinghouse during Sunday classes on July 19. Parents were separated from children, classes were interrupted, and members were quietly instructed to pray, remain calm, and leave.
Thankfully, the reported incident ended peacefully. 🙏
But it raises important questions about what happens when seconds matter.
Current Church policy generally prohibits fi****ms on Church property except for current law-enforcement officers. So should that policy remain unchanged? Should wards instead have trained and coordinated security personnel? And what can we do right now to better protect Primary children, nursery-age children, families, and vulnerable members?
This isn't about fear or encouraging anyone to violate Church policy.
It's about preparation, wisdom, and protecting those who come to worship Jesus Christ.
What do you think Church security should look like in 2026? 👇

NEW STAKE CONFERENCE NOTES REVEAL A MESSAGE ABOUT THE SECOND COMING, DISASTER READINESS & WHAT COMES NEXT 🔥🌅

A new eyewitness report from a recent Latter-day Saint regional conference contains several remarkable phrases about preparing for the future—and one line in particular immediately caught my attention:

“Readiness for the future after disasters.”

In this episode of Rise Zion, we examine NEW personal notes taken during the special August 23, 2026 conference involving eight stakes in the Spokane, Washington area. President Dieter F. Uchtdorf presided over the meeting with Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Elder Takashi Wada of the Seventy.

But this episode is not simply a repeat of what we previously learned about that meeting.

These newly received notes add an entirely different layer. 📖

Among the phrases recorded during the conference were:

🔥 “Minister while we suffer”
🌿 “New Growth and New Strength”
🙏 “Learn to Trust HIM”
🕊️ “Jesus promised that he WILL be there”
❤️ “Mourn with one another”
⚠️ “Readiness for the future after disasters”
🌅 “Give Beauty for Ashes”
✨ “You will NOT be forgotten — KNOW THAT HE LIVES!”

We examine each of these ideas carefully and ask what they may reveal about how the Lord is preparing Latter-day Saints for increasingly difficult conditions before the return of Jesus Christ.

One especially intriguing reference in the notes is Malachi 3:4.

Malachi 3 begins with a prophecy concerning the Lord coming to His temple and describes Him as a “refiner’s fire.” Why was this chapter part of a conference held immediately after destructive wildfires had devastated communities around Spokane?

The notes also point toward Isaiah’s extraordinary promise of:

“beauty for ashes.” 🌱

For people literally surrounded by burned homes and blackened ground, that scripture carries unusual power.

But perhaps one of the most surprising themes in these notes concerns the sacrament.

The writer recorded ideas about communion, unity, remembering Christ, worshipping together, and the promise that Jesus Christ will be with His covenant people.

That becomes especially significant when compared with Doctrine and Covenants 63:

“the saints also shall hardly escape: nevertheless, I the Lord am with them.”

Joseph Smith similarly warned against the idea that faithful Saints would simply avoid all of the judgments and upheaval preceding the Second Coming.

So what does genuine preparation look like?

It may not simply mean escaping difficult conditions.

It may mean becoming spiritually strong enough to remain faithful inside them—and prepared enough to help someone else when they arrive. 🕊️

Doctrine and Covenants 88 prophesies of earthquakes, thunderings, tempests, extraordinary disturbances of the sea, and a period when:

“all things shall be in commotion.”

Yet Jesus Christ also commanded His disciples:

“see that ye be not troubled.”

How can both be true?

These newly received conference notes may help answer that question.

Trust Christ.

Remain close to your covenants.

Partake of the sacrament.

Build real community.

Mourn with those who mourn.

Help your neighbors.

Minister even while you are suffering.

Prepare for future emergencies.

And remember that God has not forgotten you.

President Uchtdorf later walked through neighborhoods scarred by wildfire and noticed something simple but profound:

New grass was already beginning to grow. 🌱

Destruction had occurred.

But life was returning.

And the final words preserved in these conference notes were:

“New Growth and New Strength.”

I believe Jesus Christ is coming again.

And I believe the Lord is preparing His people—not to live in fear of the future, but to become the kind of covenant disciples who can stand faithfully through whatever comes and help build Zion in the process.
