Russell M. Nelson is always such a big disappointment. Just one prophesy or warning, just one is all I ask.

You're not looking at what God hath wrought in this. You need the gift of discernment to see God's hands in this supposed tragedy. The children killed will surely inherit the Celestial Kingdom and Jesus will triumphantly come again to bless his people.

His prophet was surely stopped from warning the people ahead of time and it was wise of God to do so. Just think of what would happen had He done so. Nelson would have had instant fame and an instant curse for future prophets seers and revelators. Sure, there would be push to have Bednar be president of the US in order to have God lead the country finally. But at what price? Magic underwear becoming popular? The power to not be healed by the medical establishment or the power to not have plenty while the church multiplies their stock gains or to not win a war with China and/or Russia because the fearless leader was too full of himself? No, no, a wise creator did not want that and so it is well that the floods came without rescue from above.

Why do I have the feeling that if the prophet started making a series of perfectly accurate predictions of the future that it would only lead to widespread conspiracy theories that the Church was using their funds to incite the very things being predicted? In gathering their wealth they have buried themselves in a hole.
