Alvarim: The Synoptic Gospels have lots of different things in them. He says the idea is you want to go where the action is and gather around it. Alvarim, what do you think of all these symbols? And should I take the sun being darkened, the moon not giving light, stars fall from heaven as literally or more figuratively? We'll start with the eagles first just to point out that that's actually not a very good translation. Something like buzzards is better.
How do we prepare to receive the Savior? Dr. Avram Shannon examines Joseph Smith–Matthew, the signs of Jesus’s Second Coming, and the power of faith.
