Have the Heavens Been Closed for Six Months?
As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we believe that God still speaks to prophets. 15 men have been called of God to serve as “prophets, seers, and revelators,” to teach us, warn us, guide us, and bless us. One is called to serve as THE prophet, seer and revelator – currently it is President Thomas S. Monson. That is one of the single most important theological concepts in our Church.
