As the holiday season comes around, people start asking the question that everyone deems important: “What are you getting for Christmas?” This question is never an easy one to answer.

Member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Pratt, Kansas The prophet Lehi knew he was going to die soon. 30 years of wilderness living after their flight from the soon to be destroyed Jerusalem of 600BC had taken its toll.
We had a blood moon early on the 8th of November, this year. In the Bible, a blood moon was God’s final warning. Let’s look into this a little more. In Rev. 6:1-2 the white horse appears. This is the first requirement in the contract of buying the earth back. In Zech. 6:1-6 it tells that the white horse goes to the west. This horse represents a Christian and peaceful nation. You see in Zechariah’s time the leader of a nation rode in a chariot and in John’s time they rode on the horse. So these are the same vision. This is the United States. So when we say that this country was blessed by God most people do not realize the depth of this statement.
