Unit 9: The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
Chapter 41: Signs of The Second Coming
Concept 2: Signs Will Tell Us of Jesus Coming
"For thousands of years, followers of Jesus have looked forward to the Second Coming as a time of peace and joy. But before the Savior comes, the people of the earth will experience great trials and calamities. Our Heavenly Father wants us to be prepared for these troubles. He also expects us to be spiritually ready when the Savior comes in his glory. Therefore, he has given us signs, which are events that will tell us when the Savior's second coming is near. Throughout the ages God has revealed these signs to his prophets. He has said that all faithful followers of Christ will know what the signs are and will be watching for them (D&C 45:39 "And it shall come to pass that he that feareth me shall be looking forth for the great day of the Lord to come, even for the signs of the coming of the Son of Man." ). If we are obedient and faithful, we will study the Scriptures and know of the signs.
