He talks about how the day of salvation coming is really the glad tidings that are declared. The voice of the Lord, by the mouth of angels will declare it. This message will go out to ALL nations and people, no matter where they are.
One verse describing how these glad tidings really jumped out at me.
"And they are made known unto us in plain terms, that we may understand, that we cannot err; and this because of our being wanderers in a strange land; ..." (Alma 13:23)
When I read this, I was kind of like "of course", but at the same time, I thought "that's awesome". It makes perfect sense that the Lord would want this message understood and clear. It's kind of a two way street though. He's doing His part by sharing this information with us in a clear, understandable way. Now we have to do our part. We must make sure we're at least giving it a shot.
I'm grateful to live in the time that I live in. That Jesus coming to earth and performing the Atonement has already happened makes it (I think) a little easier to have faith in because there are records of these events taking place. However, I'm also in the spot where I get to exercise my faith and look forward to the second coming which has not happened yet.
All I know is preparation of any kind is great, and the way we get prepared is by listening to the messages of glad tidings that come to us from God, whichever way they come.
