JESUS CHRIST: INFINITE REDEEMER

LOOK-and Behold the Redeemer of the World

--Doctrine and Covenants 77:12

QUESTION:  What are we to understand by the sounding of the trumpets, mentioned in the 8th chapter of Revelation?

ANSWER: We are to understand that as God made the world in six days, and on the seventh day he finished his work, and sanctified it, and also formed man out of the dust of the earth, even so, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years will the Lord God (1) sanctify the earth, and (2) complete the salvation of man, and (3) judge all things, and (4) shall redeem all things, except that which he hath not put into his power, when he shall have sealed all things, unto the end of all things; and the sounding of the trumpets of the seven angels are the preparing and finishing of his work, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years—the preparing of the way before the time of his coming.

Jesus shall sanctify the earth and renew it. He is the author and finisher of the salvation of all humankind. He judges in righteousness. He shall redeem all things except that which He has not put into His power. Jesus IS the Son of God. He it is whose life brought about the infinite atonement. Redemption comes by Him and through Him. He will return to earth for the Second Coming of the Lord. It will be a great and dreadful day-great for those who are prepared to meet Him, and dreadful for those who are not ready. Be wise. Prepare. Live the abundant life.
