"Countless Privileges, Blessings, and Miracles" (Coming Soon-ish)

[Everybody Wang Chung]

The clock on this prophecy is ticking—three years and counting. At this rate, that day is starting to look less like a single event and more like a permanent state of anticipation. Did I miss this great manifestation? If so, what was it?

The only manifestation of the Savior's power I noticed after the 2022 prophecy was when I ordered a McFlurry at the local McDonalds and the machine was actually working. If that's not a real miracle, then I don't know what is.

The prophesy has been fulfilled. All these new temples are the greatest manifestation. QED.

[I Have Questions]

It’s a shame Nelson wasn’t specific about what he meant, otherwise we would all be able to clearly see those manifestations. Vague, meaningless ambiguities are what qualifies as Prophecy these days.

“In coming days,” President Russell M. Nelson famously said, “we will see the greatest manifestations of the Savior’s power that the world has ever seen.” A number of critics have mocked him for saying this, though I don’t doubt that some very great miracles (in the conventional sense of the term) are still in the offing. But isn’t the donation, by Latter-day Saints, of more than $300,000.00 for the dependents of a man who sought to massacre a congregation of Latter-day Saint men, women, and children something of a miracle?

Something of a miracle? The greatest manifestation of the savior’s power the world has ever seen?

I want what Dan is smoking.

Dan is a buffoon and deserves to be constantly ridiculed. Peterson has, perhaps unwittingly, invited this scrutiny under the very same standard he established when he remarked to Stephen Ricks, "the ridiculous deserve to be ridiculed." Regarding the $300,000 fundraising campaign, a significant portion of which has been donated by non-members, the subsequent comparison of this by Peterson to miraculous events—including the Atonement, the Resurrection, the Global Flood, the Exodus, and major destruction of numerous cities in Meso-America—is deeply ridiculous. Such a dramatic exaggeration of scale demands a clarification of the metrics Peterson used to justify this ridiculous equivalence. What in the hell is Peterson smoking?

[drumdude]

Of course, Dan didn’t say that this was the miracle. If you read closely, he set up in the beginning of the paragraph that the miracle has yet to occur. He believes the critics are prematurely mocking this prophesy (which isn’t really a prophesy, an easy fall back position in case it never happens). And as evidence, he points to a very small “miracle.”

But wow what a miracle that gofundme is. It’s a harbinger of the real doozy of a miracle sure to come. Soon. Perhaps there will be another restoration of the gospel or two while we wait.

[Dr. Sunstoned]

Maybe pres. Nelson's reference to the greatest manifestations of the Savior’s power that the world has ever seen was referring to his upcoming pronouncement of support for vaccinations. In some circles, it did act as a sifter of the wheat and chaff.

[Rivendale]

Miracles have been reduced to someone answering the phone in the temple. Stopping the rain while a leader speaks. People dying. People living.
