I will cause the heavens to shake for your good

-thus D&C 35:24.  Not every disaster is a catastrophe.  Built up corruption needs brought back down.  But even for we good who have built well, sometimes our cottages need cleared to make room for mansions.

Save yourselves from this untoward generation, and come forth out of the fire, hating even the garments spotted with the flesh.

-thus D&C 36:6.  Don’t read “flesh” as a fancy way of saying iniquity.  Read it as flesh.  These clothes are soiled with the putrefaction of corpses.  You are fleeing the charnel house  (funny how that reads on the other side of the corona–how many people have we found out believe we should fear not that which kills the soul, but rather that which kills occasionally the body).

Ye hear of wars in far countries, and you say that there will soon be great wars in far countries, but ye know not the hearts of men in your own land.

-thus D&C 38:29
