"When Is The End Of The World?"



O rly?

Many people have asked me this question as of late, so I thought I would answer on my blog.

The Apostles wanted to know more about the end of the world. This is what Christ told them:

Mathew 24:

 3¶And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the ^asign of thy coming, and of the end of the world^b?

 4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man ^adeceive you.

 5For many shall come in my ^aname, saying, I am ^bChrist; and shall ^cdeceive many.

 6And ye shall hear of ^awars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not ^btroubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

 7For ^anation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be ^bfamines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

 8All these are the beginning of ^asorrows.

Sounds like our day, doesn't it? So we know we are close. But what day is it exactly seems to be what everybody wants to know.

 36¶But of that ^aday and ^bhour knoweth no man, no, not the ^cangels of heaven, but my Father only.

There you go. The scriptures are here to cut out all of the false doctrine that the world piles on us and they say that even the angels of heaven don't know. They really are warning us:

42¶^aWatch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

 43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be ^abroken up.

 44Therefore be ye also ^aready: for in such an ^bhour ^cas ye think not the Son of man cometh.

But of course the scriptures always bring hope into our lives. Example:

13But he that shall ^aendure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Simple stough. I know its true. The Lord loves us and is going to chasten us to the very end.

This is because he wants us to return to him.

1Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you whom I love, and whom I ^alove I also chasten that their sins may be ^bforgiven, for with the ^cchastisement I prepare a way for their ^ddeliverance in all things out of ^etemptation, and I have loved you

-D&C 95:1

Our Father in Heaven loves you. There isn't anything to be worried about in the long run, if we but just put our trust and hopes in Him.
