Prophecies Are Upon Us

For the great Millennium, of which I have spoken by the mouth of my servants, shall come. For Satan shall be bound, and when he is loosed again he shall only reign for a little season, and then cometh the end of the earth, and the earth shall pass away so as by fire. Doctrine & Covenants 43:30-32

The wickedness long prophesied by the ancients is now upon us (2 Timothy 3:1-7). The number of fatherless homes increases, violence spreads rampantly, and immorality becomes an accepted way of life. One day this all will change, however, for the King of Kings will come with mighty power and cleanse the earth of all wickedness. That will be the end of the world, meaning the end of worldliness. Then the Millennium will be ushered in by power and maintained by righteousness (1 Nephi 22:26). At the end of the thousand years, some mortals will once more deny God (D&C 29:22), and the forces of good and evil will once again war against one another in what we know as the battle of Gog and Magog (Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 280). And once again, Michael and his forces will achieve the victory and the final end of the earth will come. This earth will then be glorified and become the celestial kingdom. (Robert L.
