It is my understanding that this simply means that He is here already 'today'. When He returns to-morrow, or leaves the present and moves on into the morrow, only those bound together with Him in the present will escape whatever will befall the world, the planet, the universe in a scenario where He would then be absent from the present having gone into to-morrow. Behold, no matter when it is/was said, means to 'look now'. This will be impossible one He returns to-morrow since, for those left behind, there will not be a present moment in which to behold. The barrier keeping the past and the future from annihilating one another will have been removed, and this will release a fire and energy like none could possibly imagine. I know it may sound a little weird, but that is what I see.

Great article. Have you ever counted the years from Adam to Solomon (967 B.C.)?
Adam to Flood 1656 (Genesis)
Flood to Terah's Death and Covenant given to Abraham 427 (Gen. and Acts 7:4
Covenant Given to Abraham to Fulfillment of their Exodus 430 (Gen.)
Exodus to Solomon's Temple Groundbreaking Ceremony 480 (1 Kgs. 6:1)
Solomon's Temple Groundbreaking Ceremony 967 B.C. (Archeology)
FALL OF ADAM 3960 B.C. not 4,000 B.C. as has been assumed...
End of 6th thousand years A.D. 2040 and around or after that decade = 2nd Coming

I loved your article on the Second Coming. I especially loved the pictures of your boys when young and as they were adults. What a wonderful idea. Having children and thanking our Heavenly Father for the privilege of raising them and teaching them to love the scriptures and serving was a fitting ending to your article.

Wonderful accounting of the last days. Best I've ever read. Please submit more items for reading. So clearly and simply written. Thanks so much for this article.

Thanks for the incredibly clear article and especially for your testimony at the end.

"Speaking after the manner of the Lord" could also refer to the burning. In Isaiah 9:18-19 it says that "wickedness burneth as the fire . . . . And the people shall be as the fuel of the fire". There very well may be some actual burning of some sort going on, but scriptural references to burning sometimes may refer to the wickedness of man.

Very well spoken...thank you.
WonderingJune 10, 2015
Would you consider writing another article expanding upon the Second Coming? This was clearer than others I've read, and I have relatives not of our faith who keep talking about the notion of being "left behind." Honestly, I don't know what the time table will be with who is taken up and who is left behind, and when Jesus returns in all of this.
Do you? And if so, would you please write about it?

Thank you for this article. This is my year to really study the Book of Revelations, and your article is a breath of understanding for me.
Thanks.
I would love to see those photos!

Thank you for the article, well researched. The personal part at the end is fitting, as the Atonement is indeed personal for each of us.
