From his blog:

I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to send out an urgent message to all on our mailing list, and to friends and to bishops we have met all over the world.

AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE - EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US....


And in his latest entry:

I can only answer by sharing what the Holy Spirit is speaking to my own heart and what I am to do. I shared that I was led in a practical way to lay aside a month’s supply of food — because I have witnessed the panic in the wake of terrorism. That has to be a personal word for every individual.

This is what I hear the Holy Spirit speaking to my heart concerning my own spiritual response to impending calamity. It is simply this —STAND STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD
.


Sounds like direct revelation to me.

I believe that the Lord works through people of all faiths, when they listen to him. Alma 29:8 states that God gives a portion of his truth/word to every nation, tongue and people, as they are prepared to receive it.

Many have not been ready to receive it prior to this time, and so are only now receiving it, as turmoil turns their focus on how the scriptures and Lord teach them about what is happening NOW.

I do not consider it the same as whacko conspiracy theorists. They do not seek the Spirit, per se, in determining truth and light.

I'm not denying that the Lord works through peoples of all faiths. I was simply commenting on how christianity so fervently rejects Joseph Smith as a prophet of God, under the pretense that modern revelation has ceased, and not reject additional "prophets" who claim to prophecy in the Lord's name.

As for whacko conspiracy theorists, we aren't all totally whacko.
