PREFACE

 2012 is coming fast.  Much speculation exists about what is coming in 2012; End of the  Mayan Calendar,  End of the world,  total polar reversal, Disclosure of Government Secrets regarding UFOs and Hollow Earth inhabitants, Ten Tribe leaders coming forth from hiding and bringing armies with them,  One world government to oppose them.  Collapse of economy leading to one world economy.  Buy and trade using the Beast’s technology.  Wars and rumors of wars. etc. etc.

 The purpose of this blog is explore through fiction one possible end game associated with 2012.

 To those who venture into this creative writing space please remember a couple of things.  First and foremost, remember this is fiction.  That means I’m not putting this forth as truth.  It is a mixture of my beliefs and my outright creative fantasies to try to explain the unexplainable.  If there is any place where it sounds like I think I know something about the 2^nd coming or the events leading up to it, remember, I don’t.  I am making this up as I go.  I take all the best knowledge I have about the nature of life, mix it liberally with the best rumors I hear and the most realistic fantasies I can make, and then try to make some sense out of them on paper.  The Lord said, ‘Neither are my ways your ways, nor are my thoughts your thoughts.’  I think we can pretty well be assured that this is true of the concepts in the story.   Think of this as the view of the Ten Tribes as from an artists’ perspective – not from a doctrinal perspective – and you’ll have it right.

 So why do I take the time to do it?

 ·          It gives me a chance to explore risk-free every question I’ve had about the 2^nd coming, and those elements which will lead up to it… topics I consider to be very important, but which I accept as mysterious and not well revealed.  I believe that other things such as service to your fellow man and covenant-making and covenant-keeping to be of much greater importance than the nature of spirits and heaven.    But a playful consideration of the lesser important topics is fun and can be motivating.

 ·          It helps me recognize the importance of physical covenants and temple ordinances.  It helps me understand our connection to God and his love and reality. 

·          Although in my explorations, I don’t learn the answers, I do get to examine my own heart and the questions that linger there…and there is value in examination.  It helps de-cloak the mystery that gets built up around eternal things.  It helps spur interest in my spiritual nature.  It helps to awaken in me a knowledge about who I am, why I am, and what’s important  in life..  It helps me set priorities.

 Having an unquenchable desire to live with God in his heaven starts by contemplating  and meditating deeply on him and his home.  May this effort cause you to do your own seeking and to help you build your appetite for God, Godliness, and perfection.
