James Sawyer: 'Is it possible [LDS Church] leaders are preparing for a future event when they believe surpluses will be needed to fulfill some sort of prophetic mission? Indeed, could it be a so-called End Times strategy?'
Historically, the church subscribes to a tripartite mission of preaching the gospel , redeeming the dead , and the so-called perfecting of the saints. Pejoratively, some “not-so-saintly members” refer to perfecting the saints as “pay, pray, and obey.” Reference, of course, is to an institutional requirement for members to donate one-tenth of their income, to pray, and to toe-the-line within an authoritarian organizational environment.
Accordingly, at this anticipated post-mortal council, Jesus will make His reentry, followed by the earth being burned or purified as stubble. Then, a millennial advent of one thousand years will ensue. One wonders. Is this some sort of concealed mission for which Ensign Peak Advisors is accruing unreported surpluses, under direction of church leadership?
Subscription by non-Mormons would be unlikely, of course. Mormon beliefs as well as the beliefs of other churches, organizations, and individuals, ought not to be marketed as knowns when they are not.
