Purpose: To help class members recognize the signs that will precede the Savior's Second Coming and to encourage members to prepare themselves for this great event.

This purpose needs to be remembered when teaching this lesson. It is easy to spend the lesson recalling the signs of the times, but we should also take the time to encourage the class to prepare for that day.

Gospel Doctrine New Testament Lesson 21
4 When will the end come?

Signs listed in Joseph Smith-Matthew
1 Ye say Blessed is He who commeth
3 Not one stone left upon another
6 Many false Christs
7 The Jews afflicted and killed and hated
8 betrayal and hatred
9 False Prophets
10 iniquity abounds, love waxes cold
12 Abomination of Desolation
20 Days shortened

2nd Time period
22 False Christs, false prophets, if possible the elect will be deceived
23 Wars and rumors of wars
26 Coming of the Son of Man covers the whole Earth as the sun in a day
27 Elect gathered
29 Nation against nation, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, in diverse places
31 Gospel preached again in all the world
32 Abomination of desolation happens again
33 Immediately after, sun is darkened, moon gives no light, stars fall from heaven, powers of heaven shaken
34 All in a single generation
36 Son of Man comes in clouds of heaven - tribes (not nations) of Earth mourn
37 angels go before with great sound of a trumpet, remainder of the elect gathered
42-43 Like the days of Noah, the Earth will not fear the end, or know it's coming
44-45 One taken, one left

Who is saved?
11 Remain steadfast
13 Those in Judea flee to the mountains - don't even go back for your clothes
37 treasure up my word
49 Faithful servant gives food in due season

38-40 Parable of the fig tree - know when it is coming

What is the Abomination of Desolation?
It is literally the placing of a statue on the altar in the Holy of Holies in the temple in Jerusalem
