Summer
time is here at last… at least that is what the calendar says! The weather all
across the country has been full of surprises. It is said that one of the signs of the times
is that you would not know the season except for the leaves on the tree. No one
seems to be able to verify this, but it is one of those “Last Days Legends.”
Even still – it seems to be true. All around the world are other signs of the
times: wars and rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, and the love
of men waxing cold. (Matthew 24) The purpose of the signs of the times is to
warn us of the events that are about to occur, and to turn our hearts to the
lord. They can be a reassurance that the second coming is getting close! As we
watch the storms of these last days, we do not need to fear! We have been told
“if ye are prepared ye shall not fear.” Let us then Be Prepared!
