I would like to comment on a few items.

1. New converts. I was a convert to the church (I plan on posting my story later), and I came in through personal revelation alone. I experienced the mighty change of heart while reading the Book of Mormon in secret. In the short time between baptism (age 17) and my mission, I had experiences that were similar to the experiences of prophets in the scriptures. Had I continued with this spirit, my life would have been much more powerful and rich. However, in a short time, my focus switched from the pure faith and revelation I experienced as a new member to a reliance on others. That was my undoing for quite some time. Nothing serious wrong, just a lack of direction and a lessening of spirituality.

2. The Rod of Iron. The rod of iron is the word of God. That includes anything that has proceeded out of His mouth and anything that will. Notice in the vision/dream the people held directly to the rod, individually. They did not hold on to others who were holding on to the rod. Everyone must travel a path to the tree. Everyone must avoid the forbidden paths, and everyone must hold to the rod when the mists of darkness envelop them. In that sense, it is fixed for everyone, even though there will be variation on the content of the mists, or the placing of the forbidden paths. We all must travel the path from where we are to the tree. Interestingly, this is the same tree that Alma speaks of in Alma 32.
