The Second Coming of Christ

D&C 1:12

12 Prepare ye, prepare ye for that which is to come, for the Lord is nigh;

D&C 34:6

6 To lift up your voice as with the sound of a trump, both long and loud, and cry repentance unto a crooked and perverse generation, preparing the way of the Lord for his second coming.

D&C 34:7

7 For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, the time is soon at hand that I shall come in a cloud with power and great glory.

D&C 34:8

8 And it shall be a great day at the time of my coming, for all nations shall tremble.

D&C 34:9

9 But before that great day shall come, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon be turned into blood; and the stars shall refuse their shining, and some shall fall, and great destructions await the wicked.

D&C 34:10

10 Wherefore, lift up your voice and spare not, for the Lord God hath spoken; therefore prophesy, and it shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost.

D&C 34:11

11 And if you are faithful, behold, I am with you until I come—

Moses 7:47

47 And behold, Enoch saw the day of the coming of the Son of Man, even in the flesh; and his soul rejoiced, saying: The Righteous is lifted up, and the Lamb is slain from the foundation of the world; and through faith I am in the bosom of the Father, and behold, Zion is with me.

A Crown for the Righteous

Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Section Two 1834--37, p.64

If the Saints are not to reign, for what purpose are they crowned? In an exhortation of the Lord to a certain Church in Asia, which was built up in the days of the Apostles, unto whom He communicated His word on that occasion by His servant John, He says, "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy...

...lready commenced. Joseph Smith said that the righteous should shine forth like the sun at his coming. Joseph also tells us to enjoy the smiles of our savior in these last days. The city of Zion that is spoken of will be built upon the land of America (teachings of Joseph Smith). We must abomish our elders and members and live by every word that proceeded forth from the mouth of God (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith). The Prophet Joseph Smith had so many wonderful insights on this topic. The Second Coming of Christ is an incredible occurrence that I believe I will live to see. I realize all of the pressures that are upon my head being one of the chosen to live upon the earth in these last days. It is a great honor but I also know that I earned it in my preexistence. The coming of Christ should not be a day of fear but of anticipated glory and excitement.

Satan tantalizes The Son of God with glory to be more like God, not only does this temptation align with hope, but The Son of God resists these temptations, even with though they implicitly had best of meaning, wishes, and intentions for others. The final temptation of the Temple and The Son of God claiming God head draws a parallel with Faith.

  • Analysis Of The Prophecy Jesus In Mark 13: 30

    2211 Words  | 5 Pages

    The prophecy Jesus presents in Mark 13:30 is one of many that present teachings on the end times. In Jesus’ fig-tree lesson he states, “Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.” This statement is one that has been analyzed and debated amongst biblical scholars for centuries. My aim is to analyze Jesus’ purpose behind this prophecy, while presenting varying interpretations and the weakness’ within each solution. My conclusion is by no means a definitive answer to Jesus’ meaning, but an analysis of a few commentaries and my own conclusion based on the research presented. In order to further understand the meaning behind this verse the larger and immediate context of the passage must be taken into account.

  • Revelation Chapter 13 Essay

    1979 Words  | 4 Pages

    Revelation chapter thirteen is the most well-known of all the biblical references to the Antichrist. It is the chapter that pop culture pulls its imagery from, including the Mark of the Beast and his number, 666. Ironically, because of its position in God’s end-time program, it will not have as much of an immediate direct connection to Donald Trump. Most of its details regard events that happen well into the tribulation period. Until we arrive at such a time, the particulars more or less still await fulfilment. That said, because of its central focus on the subject at hand, it would be worthwhile taking a closer look at the chapter. Except for the final verse, I will keep my comments brief. I strongly recommend getting a commentary on the Book of Revelation. Just make sure that it is from a futurist (Premillennial) perspective. Any Historist perspective that interprets the book as already fulfilled (called Preterism) is frankly in error and although may offer some biblical insights, is pretty much a waste of time.

  • Cataclysmic Change In Yeats The Second Coming

    365 Words  | 1 Pages

    In his poem "The Second Coming," Yeats predicts cataclysmic changes about to be wrought upon human kind. He states, "Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;/Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world," (1511). This statement is in line with Modernistic thought of this time period. Modernistic writers felt that traditional teachings left something to be desired, and that it was time for change. There was a huge upheaval in religious beliefs and current religious convictions were being challenged with new scientific knowledge. Yeats foresees spiritual changes in the words, "Surely some revelation is at hand;/Surely the Second Coming is at hand..."(1511).

  • The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ

    1521 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Resurrection of Jesus Christ. No other event in history has been the object of as much scrutiny and criticism as the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection of Christ is the basis upon which all Christianity stands. If the resurrection never happened, then there would be no Christianity, as the Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:14, "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." This is why opponents of the Christian faith have tried to attempt to discredit the Biblical account of the resurrection. Of the many theories of the resurrection, the Biblical account is the only historically reliable and possible explanation of the resurrection.

  • The Kingdom Of God: The Role Of The Kingdom Of God

    805 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Kingdom of God is a new creation, “full of God’s grace, and creation’s destiny being fulfilled” (Powell, 2008, pp. 174). It is the hope and redemption for Israel. The preaching of the Good News embodies the Kingdom of God (Powell, 2008, pp. 175). Jesus preached the affirmation that Israel was God’s elect people, and that He came to bring forth God’s grace and mercy to the world. In addition, the Kingdom of God brought forth holiness, the fulfillment of the prophecy’s from the Old Testament Prophets, the arrival of the Holy Spirit, the fulfillment of the Messianic King, God’s rule over sin, and the opportunity for Israel to turn away from their wickedness and choose to be faithful and obedient to God (Powell, 2008, pp. 175-183).
