Scriptural testimony has been presented in the foregoing to show that a number of signs of Christ's second coming will be made manifest to the world before His appearance takes place:
There will be Wars and Rumors of Wars, Famines, and Pestilences, and Earthquakes.
The Gospel of the Kingdom shall be Preached in all the World for a Witness unto all Nations.
The Sun and Moon shall be darkened, the Stars of Heaven shall Fall, and the Powers of Heaven shall be Shaken.
The Lord's Chosen People will be Gathered.
The House of the Lord shall be established in the Top of the Mountains.
All the Gifts and Blessings of the Gospel shall be Restored.
A Messenger shall Come to Prepare the Way Before the Lord.
APPEARANCE OF THE SIGNS.
The order in which these signs will appear is not clearly stated in the scriptures. It is consistent to believe that several will be apparent at once. Famines and pestilences often occur as the results of war.
