Book of Revelations

[moosepad]

What is the church's view on the Book of Revelation and it's prediction of the end of time? Like what are the views on the tribulation and anti-christ?

[mrmarklin]

The Church's view about the end of times, is that we are in the "last days".

Prophecies about the last days have been and are being fulfilled.

Are you looking for a more in depth answer here? Because if so, that could entail a response that could only be done by a book. And there are several that I could recommend, and even some great talks on the subject.

Let me know what you are looking for specifically and I will get back to you.

Either would be nice.

The Coming of the Lord by Gerald Lund is a really good one. Very thorough and "middle of the road."

Some authors like to go off into deep speculations and more spurious sources. Duane S. Crowther wrote Prophecy: Key to the Future, which I think falls into that category. Crowther advocates the "White Horse Prophecy" as reliable, when most LDS scholars don't.

Bruce R McConkie's Millennial Messiah is also very good--written by a latter-day apostle. It's part of a much larger doctrinal series, but well worth the read by itself.

Hope these recommendations help.

In my opinion the anti-Christ is here. Anyone that's completely against something is an anti-. There are people completely against Christ so that makes them anti-Christ. The Book of Revelation is an interesting book of scripture. My favorite is Revelation 14:6.

Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

This is one of the verses in the Bible that refers to events in regards to the Book of Mormon. The angel that was seen was Moroni. He told Joseph Smith of the Golden Plates and described their contents as having the everlasting gospel. It is being preached to all nations. It doesn't say the angel would preach the gospel to the world, it says the angel has the gospel that would be preached.

Those are great recommendations. There are some wonderful talks by skousken that I would recommend as well, but I only have them in text form. If someone knows where they are, post em here.
