funkymonkey Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 I've noticed that people bring up "the second coming is soon" here and there on the forum...like it will happen tomorrow or in a couple of years. Questions: -Is God's version of "soon" different than our own mortal understanding of "soon"? Is it safe to say that our modern conveniences and immediate gratification kindof cloud this concept further? -When the scriptures say somthing like "the end is near", is it really be talking about Jesus Christ coming?...or could it be talking about our own individual timeline on this earth? -Anyone have any scriptures on this subject?

bmy- Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 All I know is that people have been saying that for a little over ~2000 years. Quote
Mykdiver Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 I don't know when it will happen, but I firmly belive we are in the "Last days". Remember for the Lord time has a different definition than it does for us. I know that with the state of the earth as it is today we have to be near the end. It may not be in our lifetimes, but maybe our children, or grandchildrens lives. There is a lot of good in the world, but also so much bad, it is hard to not let the condition of the world get you down sometimes. Quote

HiJolly Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 I've noticed that people bring up "the second coming is soon" here and there on the forum...like it will happen tomorrow or in a couple of years.Questions:-Is God's version of "soon" different than our own mortal understanding of "soon"? Is it safe to say that our modern conveniences and immediate gratification kindof cloud this concept further? Yes, I'd say that is safe to say. -When the scriptures say somthing like "the end is near", is it really be talking about Jesus Christ coming?...or could it be talking about our own individual timeline on this earth? Yes, indeed. I see it as a "BIG second coming" and a "lesser second coming". The BIG one is where the elements melt w/ "fervent heat"; the lesser is where we individually receive the second comforter. Same person, different occasion. There is a similar concept with denial of the Holy Ghost, where there is a lesser and greater offense. As I understand it. HiJolly Quote

The restoration is very much a part of the Last Days. We are in the process of preparing for the second coming of Christ. If you are not personally prepared – I suggest that you make every effort to do so without delay. If you expect and itemized schedule of things from which you will prepare – I think you are making a mistake.The Traveler Quote

NeuroTypical Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Here's a good place to start:Prophesies That Have Been FulfilledWars and rumors of wars - Matthew 24:6-8 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows. Prophesies That Are In ProgressAll things in commotion, hearts shall fail - D&C 88:88-9188 And after your testimony cometh wrath and indignation upon the people.89 For after your testimony cometh the testimony of earthquakes, that shall cause groanings in the midst of her, and men shall fall upon the ground and shall not be able to stand.90 And also cometh the testimony of the voice of thunderings, and the voice of lightnings, and the voice of tempests, and the voice of the waves of the sea heaving themselves beyond their bounds.91 And all things shall be in commotion; and surely, men's hearts shall fail them; for fear shall come upon all people. Fulness of the gospel heard in own language - D&C 90:10-1110 And then cometh the day when the arm of the Lord shall be revealed in power in convincing the nations, the heathen nations, the house of Joseph, of the gospel of their salvation.11 For it shall come to pass in that day, that every man shall hear the fulness of the gospel in his own tongue, and in his own language, through those who are ordained unto this power, by the administration of the Comforter, shed forth upon them for the revelation of Jesus Christ. Prophesies Yet To Be FulfilledLamanites to blossom as a rose - D&C 49:2424 But before the great day of the Lord shall come, Jacob shall flourish in the wilderness, and the Lamanites shall blossom as the rose. Great hailstorm - D&C 29:1616 And there shall be a great hailstorm sent forth to destroy the crops of the earth. New Jerusalem To Be Built - 3 Nephi 23-2523 And they shall assist my people, the remnant of Jacob, and also as many of the house of Israel as shall come, that they may build a city, which shall be called the New Jerusalem.24 And then shall they assist my people that they may be gathered in, who are scattered upon all the face of the land, in unto the New Jerusalem.25 And then shall the power of heaven come down among them; and I also will be in the midst. The rainbow prophesy - Joseph Smith - DHC, Vol. 6 p. 264; March 10, 1944 I have asked of the Lord concerning His coming; and while asking the Lord, He gave a sign and said, "In the days of Noah I set a bow in the heavens as a sign and token that in any year that the bow should be seen the Lord would not come; but there should be seed time and harvest during that year; but whenever you see the bow withdrawn, it shall be a token that there shall be famine, pestilence and great distress among the nations, and that the coming of the Messiah is not far distant." Armaeddon - Mormon Doctrine - "War"Modern warfare began with the American Civil War, and it has and will continue to increase in severity and wickedness until the final great struggle at Armageddon when our Lord will return to cleanse the earth and usher in the millennial reign of peace.

Captain_Curmudgeon Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Big fire in Draper yesterday and that reminded me of the new Draper Temple. It's less than ten miles from the Jordan Temple, by the way. It seems to me that if we're building temples that close together in SLC, we're not going to be packing off to Missouri any time soon.
