I’m a firm believer in the Bible but I’m a little hesitant to believe modern day prophets. With that said there’s no doubt the dollar will collapse. I’m just not sure it will be on that day.

Have you never read this?

"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

Acts 2:17

That means that in the Last Days, people will give prophesy towards God's Truth. I believe we are in the Last Days. Therefore, the people that are giving prophetic WARNINGS are giving us God's WARNINGS.

Are you not looking for Christ to return? Is this not your Blessed Hope (Titus 2:13)?

With that said there’s no doubt the dollar will collapse. I’m just not sure it will be on that day.

I am not sure either. But the United States is doomed economically, if not every other way.

These people are NOT our Savior: Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, Paul Ryan, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, or anyone else.

Jesus Christ is our only hope.

You make Monson sad...

Oy vey! A Living Prophet® gets NO respect any more!!






In conclusion let us summarize this grand key, these “Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet”, for our salvation depends on them.


1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
6. The prophet does not have to say “Thus Saith the Lord,” to give us scripture.
7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
8. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.
9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.

I testify that these fourteen fundamentals in following the living prophet are true. If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captain—how close do our lives harmonize with the Lord’s anointed—the living Prophet—President of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency.
