short of the glory that is reserved for the faithful. (May 22, 1843.) DHC 5:404.The second coming of christ will be a glorious day for some and a disasterous day for others. D&C 1:12 says perpare for the which is to come. We must cry unto repentance (D&C34: 6). The lord tells us in D&C 34:7 that the time is soon at hand for his coming, and all nations shall tremble (D&C 34:8). The sun shall be darkened (D34:9) so lift up your voice and spare not for the lord god hath spoken (D&C 34:10). And if you are faithful I am with you until I come (D&C 34:11). The righteous is lifted up (Moses 7: 47) He shall appear, we shall be like him, and we shall se him as he is (Teachings of the prophet Joseph Smith) Smith also prophesized that the signs of the coming of the son of man are already commenced. Joseph Smith said that the righteous should shine forth like the sun at his coming. Joseph also tells us to enjoy the smiles of our savior in these last days. The city of Zion that is spoken of will be built upon the land of America (teachings of Joseph Smith). We must abomish our elders and members and live by every word that proceeded forth from the mouth of God (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith). The Prophet Joseph Smith had so many wonderful insights on this topic. The Second Coming of Christ is an incredible occurrence that I believe I will live to see. I realize all of the pressures that are upon my head being one of the chosen to live upon the earth in these last days. It is a great honor but I also know that I earned it in my preexistence. The coming of Christ should not be a day of fear but of anticipated glory and excitement...
