This, exactly. So many people are gathering themselves and shouting spiteful things to other members declaring they are now prophets, etc. It is unbelievable how many people are claiming to know all of the details and telling everyone about their “visions”. I don’t think its about being perfect either, its about being prepared to the best of your ability and having a good heart. It will take enough faith as it is to leave society and everything we have worked for, to me that is enough for anyone to qualify. The gospel is not complicated, its simple. Do your best and let the lord take care of the rest, but seriously, do your best don’t show up with peanuts and crackers.

God warned Noah of the flood and told the righteous how to escape. God told Joseph in Egypt of the coming famine and how to
prepare. That same god speaks today through His prophets, giving counsel that
brings peace and safety when followed.

Here is the link to the article on the church website. I would recommend you
read the whole thing. https://www.lds.org/ensign/2010/03/safe-in-his-hand?lang=eng

This original article was only half of a page in the
actual 2010 March Ensign but the church has added a historic timeline and a
whole bunch of preparedness quotes from all the prophets. I would recommend you
take a look at the quote from President Hunter that is posted with the article
on the church website. It says:

“Knowing what we know, and living as we are supposed to live, there really is
no place, no excuse, for pessimism and despair. …

“I promise you in the name of the Lord whose servant I am that God will always
protect and care for his people. We will have our difficulties the way every
generation and people have had difficulties. But with the gospel of Jesus
Christ, you have every hope and promise and reassurance. The Lord has power
over his Saints and will always prepare places of peace, defense, and safety
for his people. When we have faith in God we can hope for a better
world—for us personally, and for all mankind.”

President Howard W. Hunter, “An Anchor to the Souls of Men,” Ensign, Oct. 1993,
70.

Elder H. Aldridge (Second Quorum of the Seventy) LDS Business College
Devotional, February 8th, 2005

“We must both learn what these signs are and then identify them correctly
when they occur. They can and will strengthen our faith in Christ and His
prophets, if we know the scriptures. Just as in the days of Noah, a way is
already prepared for the escape of the Lord’s elect Latter-Day Saints, if they
are in tune with His prophets.”

Harold B. Lee Conference Report, April 1948 pg. 54

PLACES OF GATHERING

But the designation of gathering places is qualified in
another revelation by the Lord to which I would desire to call your attention.
After designating certain places in that
day where the Saints were to gather, the Lord said this:

Until the day cometh when there is found no more room for
them: and then I have other places which
I will appoint unto them. D&C
101:21

Thus, clearly, the Lord has placed the responsibility
for directing the work of gathering in the hands of the leaders of the Church
to whom he will reveal his will where and when such gatherings would take place
in the future.

It would be well before the frightening events concerning the fulfillment of
all God’s promises and predictions are upon us, that the Saints in every land
prepare themselves and look forward to the instruction that shall come to
them from the First Presidency of this Church as to where they shall be
gathered and not be disturbed in their feelings until such instruction is
given to them as it is revealed by the Lord to the proper authority.

The church website discusses and sites these exact verses
in the Doctrine and Covenants Student manual when discussing Wherein Is
Safety? D&C 115:5. Here is the link to the church website. Please note it doesn’t suggest we are going
to all go the Stake & Wards houses and camp out on the lawns as many
suggest. And, I have not found any
church material that says this either.

Henry B. Eyring – Raise the Bar (BYU-Idaho Talk – January 2005)

“The giant earthquake, and the tsunami it sent crashing into the
coasts around the Indian Ocean, is just the beginning and a part of what is to
come, terrible as it was.

You remember the words from the Doctrine and Covenants which now seem so
accurate: (he quotes D&C 88:88-91)

Fear shall come upon all people. But you and I know that the Lord has
prepared places of safety to which he is eager to guide us….It will be
our choice whether or not to move up or stay where we are. But the Lord will
invite and guide us upward by the direction of the Holy Ghost….

I did not plan to speak to you about the hard times that are ahead and they are
real, and they are coming….”

President Eyring, April 1997 General Conference,
“Safety in Counsel”

President Eyring says this in his 1997 General Conference talk called
“Safety in Counsel.” The church has posted this talk 3 times in the
Ensign.

Henry B, Eyring, “Finding Safety in Counsel” April 1997 General Conference

https://www.lds.org/ensign/1997/05/finding-safety-in-counsel?lang=eng

This whole talk is about following the prophet.
It starts by talking about the warnings of the prophets, standing on
safe ground, having listening ears and reaching out to others. The very last
paragraph of the talk says:

“We are blessed to live in a time when the priesthood keys are on the
earth. We
are blessed to know where to look and how to listen for the voice that will
fulfill the promise of the Lord that He will gather us to safety. I pray that we will have humble hearts, that we will listen, that we
will pray, and that we will wait for the deliverance of the Lord that is sure
to come as we are faithful.”

leave, yes people will be fleeing lot fled, and Joseph was told to
pre-pare what more proof do you need the scripture is very simple making
it complicaited and arguing over it is disobediance. Just do what He
says and you will be fine remember obedience is better than sacrifice.

Two thoughts, Enoch. 1. Elder Holland uses the term “flee”, but he doesn’t refute the plentiful scriptures or prophetic statements about gathering. Now that the Church is firmly rooted all around the world, it would be unlikely for them all to have to flee. But it would be possible for them all to gather if called. 2. Nephi comes right out and says in 1 Nephi 17 that God’s way is to lead out the righteous from among the wicked, and then he destroys the wicked. There are a half-dozen examples of that in the BoM. Can’t the Lord continue doing what he has always done, if he wants?

D&C 48:5–6. Who Directs the Gathering of the Saints to the New Jerusalem?

The First Presidency of the Church holds the keys of the gathering to the New Jerusalem. President Harold B. Lee said: “The Lord has clearly placed the responsibility for directing the work of gathering in the hands of the leaders of the Church, to whom He will reveal His will where and when such gatherings would take place in the future. It would be well, before the frightening events concerning the fulfillment of all God’s promises and predictions are upon us, that the Saints in every land prepare themselves and look forward to the instruction that shall come to them from the First Presidency of this church as to where they shall be gathered. They should not be disturbed in their feelings until such instruction is given to them as it is revealed by the Lord to the proper authority.” (Ye Are the Light of the World, p. 167.)
