Bill “Papa” Lee Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 General Conference was just wonderful, something I truly needed. However, in closing President Nelson “98 years old”, spoke of “wonderful or glorious” things to come”. Upon closing, the very composed Prophet and President, became very emotional when he said, “God Be With US Till We Meet Again”. It seemed like a different kind of goodbye, I pray not a permanent goodbye to the Saints?

The fact that he had to sit in a chair to speak means he may be getting weaker and might not be well enough or strong to speak at the pulpit again in the next General Conference. If he is still with us he may be speaking from a chair instead. 1

JLHPROF Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 He may simply be preparing for the inevitable. Ensuring he feels his work is completed - look at all the temples announced. President Oaks will likely have a short administration as well. As would President Ballard. There were comments back in 2015 when 3 apostles passed away close together. It seems to get discussed on occasion.

It's just as powerful, even through an interpreter.
LoudmouthMormon Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 Seen on the internet: "To all those who think they got a revelation that President Nelson won’t make it another six months: maybe he’s sad because he knows you’re all dying and he won’t get to see you at the next conference." Honestly, given the content of some of his talks, I can't totally rule out this explanation. 1

Wow, off topic, and quite a leap. Because why would he remain if there were no Church to reside over? Your comment also could be understood to imply that no one ever listens to the Prophet. Also, no one implied receiving a revelation that he would die, in fact myself and others seem to be hoping otherwise. Or when you say, “you’re all dying, and won’t make it”, do you mean all of those on this website, or all members? Brother, I fear you are trying to judge far too many, and I fear for your “judgmental tone” in your reply. At this point, be more worried about what Jesus Christ teaches, of rendering such harsh judgment. You call?

In fact my post as was written, was a “hope not what might come”. It was just an impression, either from the Spirit, or just an observation. Most of the next five Apostles, due to age will probably have short callings to lead the Church. President Eyring, literally has to shuffle back in forth from his chair to the pulpit. I wish them all continued life, or very long life, but almost all of the top five or six, have already had long, wonderful lives. Lives that “we the Saints”, have been richly blessed, and with the aide of heaven, we will still continue to be bless.
Tacenda Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 To me, he seemed in great shape, except for the use of the chair. The only thing I can think of is he may have heard bad news about something to do with his health and doesn't want to say just yet. Because IMO, he seemed alert and didn't look sick in his face, spoke eloquently too.

They sure were taking their sweet time with it. 1

Ezra Taft Benson was the President of the Church when I joined and he wasn't able to speak much, but he still spoke through the Ensign. His talk on Pride was published shortly after I joined and I could feel the truth of his words in his talk, my first impressions from a living prophet/President of the Church. I miss those who have gone but I know they've all gone on to a better place or condition than here. One of the best, short and incredibly profound talks ever, imo.
