The Savior Taught About Future Events



Destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem  (JS-M 1:5-20
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ (JS-M 1:21-55)
Events to Occur
·         People claiming to be Christ (v.6)
·         They will afflict you, and you will be hated of all nations (v. 7)
·         People will be offended and hate one another (v. 8)
·         False prophets will deceive many (v. 9)
·         Love shall wax cold (v. 10)
·         Tribulation of the Jews (v. 18)

·         People claiming to be Christ, false prophets shall deceive many (v 21-22)
·         Wars and rumors of wars (v 23 & 28)
·         Nation will rise against nation, famines and earthquakes in diverse places (v 29)
·         Love of men will wax cold (v 30)
·         “The sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light and the stars from heaven and the powers of heaven shall be shaken” (v 33)
Promises to the Righteous
·         “He that remain steadfast and is not overcome, the same shall be saved (v. 11)
·         The elect shall be saved (v. 20)
·         “Whoso treasureth up my word shall not be deceived” (v 37)
·         The elect will know when He is near (v 39)



I know that many people, including myself, may get nervous or worried about the Second coming. It seems like a very scary part of life and I guess that is understandable. However, Christ promises that the righteous, those who are striving hard to live the gospel and keep their covenants and stay close to God, will be okay. The second coming does not have to be a scary situation, especially if we are doing what is right to the best of OUR ability.
