This will occur in the last days. I literally mean, the last days as in the last few months before the fire. When the CW starts, those who are evil in the fold will combine with those who have hated the truth from the beginning and it will be a terrible scourge. The only places of safety will be in the cities of light.
This action will be the final act that tears families apart – wives against husbands, mothers against daughters, fathers against sons. Pretty much cats, dogs and total chaos. It will be a contest of values that will pit the former best against those who are clinging to the iron rod. Those who choose to follow the counsel of the Brethren and who have the Holy Spirit as their guide will make it. All else will be/are being sifted as we speak, for they do not know how to doubt their doubts and increase their faith.
This analysis in from a blog reader I highly respect:
How Lehi’s Dream applies to the last day saints of North America
1 Nephi 8: 9-16, 30 -The wise virgins. These partake of all of the blessings of the gospel and are truly converted through the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost. These are temple worthy and have a year or more supply of food, water, and supplies. These gather to wherever the Holy Spirit guides them. These are the ones that survive the purging of the church in the near future.
1 Nephi 8:21-23 -The tares (the 50% of the total adult church membership who will apostatize from the church per John Taylor). These have very little spiritual conviction. They started down the straight and narrow path that leads to the iron rod (joined the church) but would not give up the things of the world including their sins. These join with evil nonmembers who persecute the unwise virgins.
1 Nephi 8:24-28 -The unwise virgins. These saints have only testimonies (a burning in their bosoms) and are not truly converted (baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost) to Christ. Many have gone through the temple but their hearts on set on the things of the world. These are the additional 25% of the total church membership who will apostatize from the church because of the persecution they receive from the tares and evil nonmembers. These are not able to gather with the wise virgins because they are not worthy nor ready.
1 Nephi 8:31-33 – The nonmembers. These are incited by the apostate tares to persecute the unwise virgins into denouncing their membership in the church. Some of these help slay apostles and other faithful saints as well. But many will flee unto Zion (in this case the church) for safety both physically and spiritually (join the church in large numbers).
