RCS Reflection on The Great American ECLIPSE, 2017

Richard Shipp teaches that everything in nature testifies of Christ, death/resurrection/Plan.

He writes:  What an impressive CES+LSS Family experience. An amazing amount of planning and execution. Compliments to all.

These are what create the Memories of Life that you will carry throughout life. How Great Is That!

I am impressed with the bonding and love that was evident and developed within your family. Families can be Forever, with love, being worthy, and with the priesthood ordinances provided by the God of us all.

I believe a Total Eclipse is (2) a warning and call to repentance; (3) a demonstration of the power of God; (4) a reminder that we are dependent upon the Light of Christ for all we have on this planet; (5) a time we can feel profound gratitude for our lives; (6) a demonstration of what would happen to us if we were cut off from the power/light of God; (7) a small taste of what it would be like to face a Black Hole if we were cast out into outer darkness after the Final Judgment; (8) a time of deep reflection on our blessings and what we want out of life, and in eternity; (9) a time of commitment to do the Lord's Will; (10) a prelude to the spiritual darkness that will envelop the world in the Last Days prior to the Second Coming; (11) a symbol that even in the darkest of times, Christ can be with us through the Light of Christ (represented by the Corona); (12) a testimony—finally and paramount—that The Son Will Return!

God bless us all to learn these lessons and know with a testimony, that these symbols and lessons are real and true. That life is real; that our choices are real; and the consequences will also be real.

The Eclipse is more than just a "naturally occurring phenomenon of nature," it brings to a point in time all these messages for our consideration and lesson. I pray we will all learn the lessons intended. As this Eclipse passed dramatically across the United States, many cheered—not discerning that it is a call to the Nation and all the citizens to repent and turn  to the God of Heaven, who placed this sign for all to see, as Judgment awaits—foreseen and prophesied by the Latter-day Prophets: a judgment so intense that we are told the Saints will pray day and night for deliverance, for Christ to come, and the Kingdom to be restored.

We can prepare now.

Love to All,
Brother, Uncle, and Great Uncle Richard

p.s. Thank you for the great photos!  

ED: “…but the end is not yet.…”  Jesus Christ to his Apostles (and to the world/Saints in the latter-days).
And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
29 ¶ Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
