Joseph Smith-Mathew. The Savior Taught about Future Events


After reading the passages listed on the table headings, I filled out the table with the events and promises.  I like this section because it talks about the second coming of Christ.  A lot of people think of the second coming as something scary, but only the ones that disobey will suffer because the obedient ones will be saved.  It comforts me to know that the second coming is something to look forward to and not something to fear.



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

6-Many will come in the name of Jesus Christ and it is him and will deceive many.
7-Jesus followers’ will be persecuted, hated, and murdered for His name’s sake.
8-Many will become offended and will betray  and hate one another.
 9-There will be many false prophets that will deceive many.
18-The Jews in Jerusalem will suffer many tribulations.

22-There will be many false Christs and prophets that will show signs; they can possibly even deceive the very elect.
23-There will be rumors or wars and we’ll hear of rumors of wars.
 25-If people tell you that Christ is here or over there, don’t believe it, it’s not true at all.
29-Nations won’t get along and there will be famines, pestilences, earthquakes, and divers places.
31-The gospel will be preached everywhere around the world.
Promises to the Righteous
11-The ones that remain steadfast will be saved.
20-For the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.
37-Who ever keeps Christ’s gospel will not be deceived.
39-When the elect see all the signs happening they will know the second coming is near.
49-The faithful will be made rulers over the unfaithful.



From what I studied in 1 Nephi 22:16-22 and Doctrine and Covenants 97:22, 25, an obedient person that lives the gospel of Jesus Christ to the best of their abilities should not be afraid of the Second Coming of Christ.  Those that obey will be saved from what the disobedient will suffer.
