What do you think of this email sent to me?

We are getting closer than we think...
This is such an insightful message from David Kat who prepares many of the beautiful spiritual Youtube videos that we have enjoyed - He discovered this insight (he gave permission for this to be shared):

WE ARE GETTING SO CLOSE!! ...a conversation with man that had a Near Death Experience
Last night, I was able to see more of the BIG picture. I just want to share a quick insight. For the past couple of years, it has bothered me that in conference, the Brethren have been relatively silent in warning, giving counsel in preparing for the last days etc. I have prayed and yearned for Samuel the Lamanite-like talks, or President Benson's or Bruce R. McConkie's talks... Yet instead we have been getting talks on Faith, on Hope.. On Charity/Service etc..My thoughts have been.. Here the world is crumbling, disasters are eminent, people are not prepared and need to be. I was very frustrated and wondered WHY ARE WE NOT GETTING THE WARNINGS... I was on the phone with my mother-in-law last night who just talked with a man that had a near-death-experience. He told her many things, but she felt impressed to tell me one thing in particular. He said things are so very close to all of the "prophesied" things to begin happening. He talked about the "cycle" (reaffirmed in the Boyd K Packer's Priesthood Talk in given in conference) and how just before things completely fall apart and collapse with utter destruction, the Lord's annointed stop warning, and start speaking about faith, hope and charity. IT IS THE LAST STAGE IN THE CYCLE.Then it hit me... The Book of Mormon is a template for this as well. Case in point. We read in Ether... We get all the warnings about secret combinations etc and how the wickedness is abounding and that the people will be destroyed if they don't repent.. Then just before the entire civilization gets destroyed we get the 12th chapter on FAITH,HOPE and CHARITY..Another example we find in Moroni chapter 8.. Just before telling us that the people will perish and the prophecies will be fulfulled, Mormon teaches his son Moroni (and us), about Faith, Hope and Charity. Okay... Fast forward to the past two conferences.. What messages are we hearing... FAITH, HOPE, and CHARITY!!!!!WOW.. It hit me like a ton of bricks.. It was the answer that I needed to hear about why we aren't receiving the voice of warning like I wanted.Here is how I see the cycle now: AS A PEOPLE WE move from being Humble to Obedient to Blessed to living Righteously to Ease to Laziness to Prideful to Selfishness to Immorality to having the prophets warning us to repent to Wickedness to Ripening to the Point of no return to No more on Warnings, but teaching the humble followers to have Faith, Hope,and Charity -THEN DESTRUCTION, CALAMITIES, etc- compelling us back to being HUMBLE.....So, we probably won't see the prophets speaking to us to warn us.. We are past that time, we are in the final stage. This is the Lord's way, just as He has done with the 2 prior civilizations (Jaredites, and the Nephites).. It is my opinion, the more we hear about HOPE, don't DESPAIR, etc .. THE CLOSER WE ARE!I hope to speak to this man personally who had this near-death experience. He said some amazing things to my mother-in-law. In a nutshell, my mother-in-law now feels that she will be alive to see all of this unfold. Before she thought she wouldn't be around. WE ARE SO VERY CLOSE to things accerelating.Just as a sidenote that just hit me, In one of my last videos, "Great Trials Lie Ahead".. I started out with all of the warnings of McConkie, Benson, Eyring.... And felt very strongly to end the video with the statements of HOPE by Uchtdorf... This is a pattern, it is pattern seen in the Book of Mormon and we are following that same pattern today... NEXT STEP for ALL OF US: The Destruction of the Wicked and the Saints being Humbled.
And by the way....the Book of Mormon is true.

I'm sitting here feeling a little unprepared. I should try harder. Thanks for the kick in the behind!

Actually, I'm surprised to see you post something like this, which is basically about doomsday, disasters, how bad things are and how much worse they are going to get, etc. :)
