    D&C 77: 3 says:

      3 Q. Are the four beasts limited to individual beasts, or do they represent classes or orders?
      A. They are limited to four individual beasts, which were shown to John, to represent the glory of the classes of beings in their destined order or sphere of creation, in the enjoyment of their eternal felicity.

    My personal opinion is that they serve roles and purposes in the kingdom that are necessary for our exaltation. If exaltation is a glorious version of this one, as this one is a fallen version of paradise, they rely on our righteous "dominion" (Moses 2:26) and we rely on their usefulness (Moss 3:7-9).

    Is their sphere one that we would have the opportunity to visit?

    where she got the notion.

    She claims it was a GA, but hasn't said who.  I could never find anything out about it.  In HS, we went on a church history tour when we studied D&C.  I want to say I heard about it on that trip too, so who knows.  Sounds to me like it could have been concocted by individuals who don't refrigerate their ketchup.  *queue Twilight Zone music*

    Like if we like someone can we pray about it and ask god if we will have have the chance to date them?

    It is important to have wisdom with any decision we have to make especially one involving the opposite sex.  James' advice that Joseph Smith used can be applied to to any subject, in my opinion.  Like the above comments suggested, it must be something your heart is fully into as well as ample faith that you will receive an answer.  Also, go to Father in humility willing to accept His answer especially if it is not the one you desire.  Best wishes!!

    en the statements are made you begin an investigation. That does not always = an arrest. State code dictates when the line is crossed and something like this becomes a crime. If that line is not crossed, then there is not a whole lot that law enforcement can do at that point. What the pre shooting details on this are I do not know, except what the media tells us. I doubt that they have the full picture on what was known in advance, or necessarily are accurate in what they are claiming. In order to make an arrest, there has to be probable cause. Whether or not that existed pre shooting I do not know. What I often see are people clamoring for something to be done that sounds an awful lot like a demand for the minority report to become reality. People complain and say the police do not follow probable cause, then they get upset over something else and say that the police should have acted with out probable cause. 

    Hindsight, right!  That is true none of us have the entire picture of what went on before the horrendous events on that day.  Of course we are only fed what the media wants to dish out and that makes things volatile.  I read something online almost 10 years ago about that minority report tech already being tested in NYC.  I think tech has exacerbated the immediate gratification monster.  Being in law enforcement in this day and age has got to be extremely difficult.  My heart goes out to all who protect and serve.
