Second Coming (LDS Church)

Second Coming (LDS Church)

Like many other Christian and Muslim adherents, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that there will be a Second Coming of Jesus Christ to the earth sometime in the future. The LDS Church and its leaders do not make any predictions of the actual date of the Second Coming.

According to LDS Church teachings, Mormonism will be taught in all parts of the world prior to the Second Coming. It is also believed that there will be increasingly severe earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters prior to the Second Coming.

igns of the times
