D&C 45
The Prophecy. In this section, Jason and Nate dive into D&C section 45 where the Lord reveals a prophecy concerning the events surrounding his second coming. Along the way, they detour into the meaning of names. In particular, the name of God and what Rumplestiltskin has to do with anything. They talk about signs in the heavens and on the earth and where we sit on the timeline that is the Lords great reveal and second coming. As Jason and Nate discuss some of these heavenly signs, they journey into an older, cultural tradition practiced all over the Near East, the substitute king ritual similar to our story of the prince and the pauper.

In this Come Follow Me podcast episode, Jason and Nate take a look at the the Law of the Lord as revealed in Doctrine and Covenants section 42.

We examine the caution that powers of darkness are working on the earth today. Then we see the Lord's caution to Joseph Smith going into how they know not the hearts of men in their own country. Next we examine what it means when God says if ye are not one, ye are not mine. Along with that, God counsel to us to build up Zion, who were "one in heart." Finally, we look at the Lords statement that he made the earth rich. How does a rich earth square up to a world driven by scarcity and competition?
