Alma 7:10-12

And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

Majestic Return

Elder Andersen asks, "Do they anticipate His majestic return, when all will be made right and every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ?"

Start with an opening prayer.
Sing When He Comes Again (CS pg. 82)

Make a "Majestic Return" bingo game. Have about 9 squares on each sheet. Draw small pictures or depending on ages, you can include scriptures, in each square. You can also include hymns or GAK images too. Use small crowns (google crown clip art and make plenty for each family member) as some simple paper markers.

Some ideas taken from the Primary 7 manual include :
Only Heavenly Father knows the exact time when Jesus will come (JS—M 1:40).

Jesus will be dressed in red clothes (D&C 133:48).

False Christs will deceive many (JS—M 1:22).

Jesus will come down from the sky (Acts 1:11).

The Second Coming will be a glorious day for the righteous (D&C 2:1).

The wicked will be destroyed (D&C 29:9).

When Jesus comes, he will look brighter than the sun (D&C 133:49).

Missionaries will preach the gospel everywhere in the world (JS—M 1:31).

Desolations are wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes (JS—M 1:28–29).

The sun will be darkened (D&C 45:42).


For me personally, and it's probably because I'll be burned alive, I don't really anticipate the 2nd coming. I know I need a better attitude. I don't want my girls to ever be scared. I'm hoping a fun game like this will lighten my tension and worry on the subject.

End with this scripture:
Rom. 14: 11 "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."

Bear testimony.
