I had to work in Salt Lake City for a few weeks. I visited the Temple, and the guided tour was quite a show. So, since you live in the most LDS community in the world, it is safe to assume that your end times view is very mainstream LDS. Doesn't your view have to do with Christ coming back to America too? I think LDS eschatology is very well defined, even though you may not admit it. Please share your eschatology view about President Obama and the return of Christ to America. Doesn't LDS theology teach Christ is suppose to return to Missouri, Upstate New York, or Salt Lake City?
Jesus Christ will set up the NEW JERUSALEM (city built by Jesus Christ himself), which will descend ONTO the AMERICAN CONTINENT.
LDS theology is VERY misunderstood, so you will NEVER get this response from an LDS member.
I've done EXTENSIVE Biblical and LDS scriptural research on this subject.
Jackson County, Missouri was supposed to be the LDS headquarters (New Jerusalem), but it was revoked by the LORD, at the VERY BEGINNINGS of LDS history, and the LORD drove the LDS saints (pioneers) to the Salt Lake valley, where they built the LDS headquarters (New Jerusalem) up from that point.
JESUS will NOW DESTROY the world and build the NEW JERUSALEM himself, which will descend from heaven, as stated in
Revelation 21
Rev. 21: 2
And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Most LDS members are clueless about what's REALLY going to happen.
The earth will be destroyed and a new heaven and a new earth will appear and the LORD Jesus Christ will descend onto earth with the NEW JERUSALEM built by him.
The New Jerusalem, built by Jesus Christ, which descends from heaven, onto the American Continent. is 1,500 miles cubed (12,000 fulongs cubed), according to
Revelation 21:6.
Rev. 21: 16
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
