This Christmas season, Elder Dallin H. Oaks delivered a Christmas Devotional that may have gone unnoticed by many—yet it contains a powerful and prophetic message that we cannot ignore. In his talk, Elder Oaks shares a passage from The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles, but he made one subtle change that could completely alter our understanding of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. It’s a change so small, yet its implications are vast, pointing to a much nearer and more urgent reality than we might have expected.
We are all familiar with the beautiful message of Christmas, celebrating the birth of our Savior. But this year, Elder Oaks reminded us that Jesus Christ is not only the Savior of the world; He is the soon-to-return King, whose glory will be revealed in our time. And this isn’t just some distant prophecy—it’s imminent. The way Elder Oaks rephrased a key part of his talk reveals a deeper, more urgent call to prepare for Christ’s return than we may have realized.
In his talk, Elder Oaks described the Savior as the one to whom “every knee shall bow and every tongue confess” — a declaration that calls for reflection. But did you notice the word change that could completely shift our understanding of when He will return? This small adjustment reveals that Elder Oaks isn’t just reminding us of something that will happen in the distant future. Rather, it may be closer than we think.
Could it be that Elder Oaks is subtly urging us to shift our mindset from a far-off event to something that demands our immediate preparation? It’s one thing to prepare for an event “someday,” but what if we’ve been too comfortable assuming that Christ’s return is far in the future, when in fact it could be much sooner than we’ve been led to believe?
As we reflect on Elder Oaks’ words, consider this: we are in the final days leading up to the Second Coming, and every moment of our preparation matters. Christ’s return is not a far-off event for future generations to worry about; it’s a call to action for us today. Elder Oaks’ change in wording invites us to think critically about the signs of the times and to take personal responsibility for preparing ourselves, our families, and our communities for the Savior’s return.
In this video, we’ll dive into why this subtle word change is so important, how it points to an imminent return, and what actions we should take now to prepare for Christ's Second Coming. The urgency of the times is clear, and this Christmas Devotional was more than just a beautiful reflection on Christ’s birth—it was a prophetic warning that we cannot afford to overlook.
What does this mean for you?
As we celebrate Christmas this year, let us not just remember the birth of Jesus Christ in a nostalgic way. Let us reflect on the reality that He will return soon—and when He does, we will all stand before Him. Are we ready? Are we living in such a way that we can confidently welcome Him?
Join me in exploring the implications of Elder Oaks' words and how we can align our lives more closely with Christ’s teachings in these final days. The signs are all around us. It’s time to wake up, prepare, and recognize that the time is now.
