Interestingly enough, most of what all of the Minor prophets say has to do with the last days, in which you and I live.<\/p>\n<p>For thousands of years, God has done all He can to get us to listen to Him. But the power of the world is strong, and Satan uses his \u201cno-rules\u201d rules to sabotage every imaginable place in our hearts.<\/p>\n<p>But God is even more clever. He wants us all. But even more than that, He wants us to want Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. We came to earth to prove ourselves and sometimes we forget that. We are the ones on trial, not God, and not His spokesmen.<\/p>\n<p>There are people in the world who would try to convince us there is no God. Or that we have been left to manage life for ourselves. There are even those who believe in God, but they don\u2019t believe Him when He speaks, or when His prophets speak.<\/p>\n<p>It has been awesome to see how members have responded to the call of the prophet with this name clarification. Our desire is to be obedient, to watch closely, and to listen carefully. During these last days, we will need to be diligent in our obedience; our watching and our listening.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, while reading in Hosea (one of those minor prophets), I did a double-take as I read along. Jesus Christ is very blunt as He calls us all out in which master we are serving. Those who deny Him, He calls whores and adulterers\u00a0because we sell our souls to the distractions of the world. He will \u201cslay her (us) with thirst\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/scriptures\/ot\/hosea\/2.3?lang=eng\">Hosea 2:3<\/a>) by causing a famine of goodness and righteousness to cover the land. (That\u2019s one reason why it\u2019s so important for the correct name of the church to be spread across the world.)<\/p>\n<p>Jesus warns us that we will be \u201cdestroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/scriptures\/ot\/hosea\/4.6?lang=eng\">Hosea 4:6<\/a>). The importance of reading all the warnings He offers us in the scriptures is more important than ever before.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/noah-360-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9802\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/noah-360-1.jpg?resize=300%2C164&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/noah-360-1.jpg?resize=300%2C164&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/noah-360-1.jpg?w=660&amp;ssl=1 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>He warns, \u201cEphraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/scriptures\/ot\/hosea\/7.8?lang=eng\">Hosea 7:8<\/a>).
