How It Feels to Live in the Last Days

Today is January 4, 2026.  We woke up yesterday morning to the happy news that the dictator of Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro, was taken by US troops and taken back to the United States.  My wife and step-son, Ivonne and Leo Yumar, were excited that he is gone after he and his associates drove the country into the ground.  Right now I'm seeing all sorts of stuff online about people who oppose this move by President Trump because they will say anything to persuade the country against him.  The Deep State clearly doesn't like him because they tried to assassinate him before he took office the second time.  Some people are tricked into joining the lies of the Democrats, others are paid to do what they do -- like full-time paid protestors who don't believe anything they are protesting, it's their job for which I'm sure they are well-paid.

How does it feel to live in the last days?  I can't speak for anyone else, but for me it feels like waiting for the hammer to fall.  I've seen many articles that talks about how the wicked are trying to entrap the people into serving them while they steal all the money and have all the control.  It's Nazi Germany coming to America and the rest of the world.  

1. I know about Palentir company and how they are creating technology to surveille all the people.  I know how they are building more detention/prison camps to hold all the people who fight against them.  I know they are preparing technology so that no one can buy anything or have access to their own money in their bank accounts unless submitting to putting a technology chip somewhere in your body, so they can control and punish us when they take away our Constitutional rights.  I know they have been sidestepping and subverting the Constitution through the Patriot Act in response to false flag terror events like 9-11, when the World Trade Centers in New York fell.  I know about the Jews who planted the bombs in the middle of the night in the months leading to September 11, 2001 -- and the 5 Jews who celebrated when the towers fell.  These same people were arrested and allowed to return to Israel.  I know about the man who bought a giant insurance policy on the building just months before it fell.  And I know that commercial jets can't bring down an entire skyscraper -- it was a controlled demolition.  These wicked people killed thousands of Americans to get more money and power, and the US government was compelled to cover it up.

I know about China and billionaires like Bill Gates are buying up farmland in an effort to control the people through the food supply.  I know they are driving up food prices and manipulating genetics of corn and other plants to force people to buy their seeds every year to make more money.  I also know they blackmail US politicians to do what they want, so they can largely control the US government.  I'm talking about the wealthy banking families like the Rockefellers, the CIA, the banks, the Fed, the Zionist Jews, and Mossad.

I know that all this is the devil having control over his own dominion, as the scripture says the Lord is allowing until the Second Coming, the great and terrible day of the Lord.  I also know that the Lord will not bow or allow his true followers to bow to the devil's kingdom, and persecution is coming.  I also know there will be a massive division to separate the righteous from the wicked.  There are many good people in the world who are sounding the alarm, and I'm trying to be one of them.  Candace Owens seems like she's trying to broadcast truth and warn everyone, not just to obtain a huge following.  She has made it clear that the Israeli government killed Charlie Kirk, with the tacit support and cover-up by the US government and CIA.  I believe her long before I believe anything reported in the media that we know lies to us about everything to push their agenda.  I believe that people like Kash Patel who leads the FBI probably went in with good intentions only to be threatened and controlled by the powers that be.  I'm sure they threatened to kill his wife and children unless he played ball, so he has been forced to join them.

Meanwhile, we get all sorts of warnings in General Conference about troubles to come and it doesn't feel like they are many years away.  I know about Agenda 2030 and the World Economic Forum.  They have openly spoken about how they want to control the world and kill billions of people so taking over and keeping power will be more manageable.  

I also know we have years to come before the Lord's Second Coming.  Several things need to happen first according to the scriptures before that happens:

1. We have to return to build up Zion in Missouri first.  The Lord said when he comes the temple(s) will already be built there.  Brigham Young said when we arrive there won't be so much as a little yellow dog there.
2. The Gospel must be preached in all nations.  Therefore, something has to happen to open up China and India, two countries that each have over 1 billion people.  The Gospel must also be preached to the Jews after the Gentiles have been taught.  All of this is still to come.
3. The Sun shall be darkened, the moon turn to blood, and the stars fall from heaven.
4. Additional scriptures will be given as mentioned in The Book of Mormon to warn us immediately before very difficult times arrive.
5. Finally, Armageddon will happen shortly before the end, and the Lord appear to cleave the Mount of Olives to let the Jews escape their enemies, while letting many of the wicked Jews to be killed.

I can also see that the nations of the earth are quickly getting sick of the wars and evil that Benjamin Netanyahu and his ilk are causing and will eventually turn against them in military operations that will lead to Armegeddon.  Surely nuclear weapons will be used at this time since Israel is known to have nuclear weapons.

Meanwhile, with my limited resources I'm doing the best I can to prepare.  In the past year I've learned how to bake bread -- before 3 months ago, I had never baked a loaf of bread in my life.  I've baked at least 10 since then.  I bought a propane generator and I'm looking to purchase a solar generator.  I've stocked up on as much cheap food as I can.  And I've bought a lot of seeds to put in the ground if I ever have a place to plant them -- right now I live in an apartment.  I bought 3 containers to plant food-bearing seeds in.  Last year I planted 3 different types of seeds in each but nothing grew so I just left them alone.  Now something is growing in each container and I can't remember what I planted and can't identify so far what they are.  So much for my attempt at farming.  However, I can now make from home a delicious loaf of bread from wheat berries and my hand mill.

I've done my best to warn friends and family, but most don't want to listen.  They just want to get on with their lives and hope for the best.
