It seems that the imprisoned FLDS leader who was jailed for having underage brides is now trying to become relevant again by saying that the end of the world is coming.

Brower said there has been a recent upsurge in construction activity at other FLDS properties. The group is known to have outposts in Texas, Colorado, New Mexico and South Dakota.
"Warren's calling them to repent, prove their loyalty, pay as much money as they can get their hands on and then to leave and go to these places of refuge and start concentrating there waiting for the end. And that's kind of a scary thing," said Brower, who recently authored a book on the group called "Prophet's Prey."
This week, Brower obtained copies of purported revelations and prophesies attributed to Jeffs in November. They say, among other things, "I am soon to cleanse all nations. Let this be as a final warning."
Brower said the message seems to focus on Jeffs' imprisonment.
"The end is coming," Brower paraphrased the documents, "and unless they let God's servant, Warren, free, everybody will be punished. The people of the Earth will be punished."
Wyler said many members of his former church take such statements literally.
"These people honestly believe that the end is here and that everybody's going to be destroyed within the next few days," he said.
Wyler had an encounter Tuesday that underlines rising tensions in the FLDS community.
He said he was delivering notices of unpaid property taxes to many FLDS residences on behalf of a court-appointed fiduciary whose authority is not accepted by FLDS leaders. As he went through the community posting the notices, Wyler said he was attacked by "FLDS teens throwing rocks."
