The Last Days
I’ve been waiting so long for the 2nd coming
Since I was child I was told we were in the last days
Jesus told them of the wars, and rumors of wars, and pestilence, and earthquakes, and famines, and that nation should rise against nation, and this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
I watch the world events and wonder
Is this the crisis that will bring Him
In mercy the Lord warns and forewarns. He sees the coming storm, knows the forces operating to produce it, exhorts, aye, even commands—that we prepare for what is about to befall and take shelter while yet there is time.
As our seasons grow shorter and it is difficult
To tell winter from fall, summer from spring
As earthquakes shake the earth and floods take whole cities
I wonder is this the sign that will bring him
We were told that as the days of Noah were, so should be the days of the coming of the Son of Man. They should be eating and drinking and making merry and would say that the Lord delayeth his coming, and then he would come as a thief in the night.
I watch as the values of the world prevail and I wonder
Is this the sign that will bring him
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." (Mal. 4:5?6.)
I watch the temples being built and spreading throughout the world and
I wonder is this the sign that will bring him
The special spirits who have been reserved to live in this time of challenges and who overcome will one day be praised for their stamina by those who pulled handcarts.
I look at my children and grandchildren and
I wonder is this the sign that will bring him
The Prophet wanted to comfort us, and he told us that we should receive those children in the morning of the resurrection just as we laid them down, in purity and innocence, and we should nourish and care for them as their mothers. He said that children would be raised in the resurrection just as they were laid down, and that they would obtain all the intelligence necessary to occupy thrones, principalities and powers. That the children would grow and develop in the Millennium, and that the mothers would have the pleasure of training and caring for them, which they had been deprived of in this life
I bury my son and my grandson in the ground and I wonder
can I live without them
My heart breaks a little more each day and I beg... Please send Him
