Presentation
I Gave This Presentation for the First Time in Lehi, Utah
Revelation 12 Is Not What You Think

On July 1, 2026, I stood in front of a room in Lehi, Utah and gave this presentation out loud for the first time. The group was the Sisters of Liberty. Many of them had already read The First Horseman before that night. When they heard the material spoken, with the scriptures open in front of them, it landed in a way I did not expect. I have never watched a room respond the way that one did.
LDS Media filmed the whole evening. I have trimmed it down to the part that stands on its own, and it is now up on YouTube. You can watch it right here.
I want to hand you two of the ideas I walked through that night, so you know what you are stepping into.
We Are Not as Far Along as Most People Assume
Most Latter-day Saints I talk to believe the seven seals line up with a seven-thousand-year calendar. One seal for each thousand years. Read that way, we are near the very end, with the last seal already breaking open around us.
I do not read them that way. The seals are events. They open when the events happen, not when a clock strikes. And the sixth seal has not opened yet.
John described the sixth seal like this:
“And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.”
— Revelation 6:15–16
The rich men of the earth hide themselves in the dens and the rocks. Watch what is happening right now. The billionaires are building the bunkers. They are buying the land and digging the shelters. But they have not fled to them. They are not yet crying for the mountains to fall on them. The sign John saw is being built in front of us, and it has not arrived. We are earlier in this than most people think.
Revelation 12 Is Not What You Think
The center of the whole Book of Revelation is chapter 12. If you read it in the King James Version alone, you will miss it. The Joseph Smith Translation rearranges the verses and clears up the language, and the meaning changes completely.
John opens the chapter with a woman:
“And there appeared a great sign in heaven, in the likeness of things on the earth; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. And the woman being with child, cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.”
— JST Revelation 12:1–2
That woman is not Mary. She is not a constellation. She is not ancient Israel. She is the Church of God, and in these last days that is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She is in labor because bringing forth the Kingdom of God on the earth is not going to be easy.
And the child she carries is not who most people guess. That is where the presentation goes next, and it is the piece I most want you to hear in full.
