Elders Quorum
Elder oaks conference talk - Teachings of Jesus
“When you consider all of the things the Savior has done for us, don’t you have many reasons to come back to church to worship and serve Him?”
Ask yourself how the savior is the light and life of the world.

Revelation
We are in the sixth seal
Seal 1 - creation/fall
Seal 2 - Noah and the floor
Seal 3 - the reign of the judges/the time of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
Seal 4 - the reign of the kings/division of the land
Seal 5 - apostasy/dark ages
Seal 6 - the restoration/the last days
Seal 7 - the millennium
2 Timothy 3:1-4
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
In a perilous situation is it smart to go without the tools we need to survive?
The book of Revelation speaks of the beast with 12 horns. It is the twelve tribes of Israel.
When the first seal is opened a white horse comes forth. The earth was pure at the opening of the first seal.
At the opening of the second seal the red horse comes forward. Satan was loosed on the earth after the fall At that time of the flood the world was very violent. The flood was to cleanse it.
The third seal brings forth a black horse. This was famine and hunger. During this seal the law become pressing down on the people.
The fourth seal brought forth a pale horse. The kingdoms become divided and there is death and war.
Speaking of the war in Heaven, ““That war, so bitter, so intense, has gone on, and it has never ceased. It is the war between truth and error, between agency and compulsion, between the followers of Christ and those who have denied Him.” (President Gordon B Hinckley, in Conference Report, Oct. 1986, 55)
“The elders of Israel are now issuing the invitations to the marriage supper of the Lord; those who believe and obey the gospel thereby accept the invitation and shall sit in due course … at the marriage feast” (Elder Bruce R McConkie, Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 3 vols. [1966–73], 3:563–64).
The invitation is given to all men and accepted at baptism.
“Each day the forces of evil and the forces of good enlist new recruits. Each day we personally make many decisions showing the cause we support.” (President Ezra Taft Benson, “In His Steps,” Ensign, Sept. 1988, 2)
Sacrament Service
A couple that just returned from a mission to Nauvoo spoke to us.
One of the missionaries talked about a Jewish lady that came to visit Nauvoo. The Jewish lady talked about how our two peoples shared some of the same persecutions.
In Jesus' day Herod built a temple for the Jews, but it was for a status symbol for Herod and not for the work of the Lord.
