Quick Quotes on the Second Coming
 "Four matters are indisputable to Latter-day
Saints: (1) The Savior will return to the earth in power and great glory to
reign personally during a millennium of righteousness and peace. (2) At the time
of His coming there will be a destruction of the wicked and a resurrection of
the righteous. (3) No one knows the time of His coming, but (4) the faithful are
taught to study the signs of it and to be prepared for it."
- Elder Dallin H. Oaks, April 2004 General Conference
"Signs of the Second Coming are all around us and seem to be
increasing in frequency and intensity. . . . While we are powerless to alter
the fact of the Second Coming and unable to know its exact time, we can
accelerate our own preparation and try to influence the preparation of those
around us. We need to make both temporal and spiritual preparation for the
events prophesied at the time of the Second Coming." - Elder Dallin H.
Oaks, "Preparation for the Second Coming," Ensign, May 2004, 7-9.
"What if the day of His coming were tomorrow? If we
knew that we would meet the Lord tomorrow-through our premature death or through His unexpected coming—what would we do
today? What
confessions would we make? What practices would we discontinue? What accounts
would we settle?
What forgiveness would we extend? What testimonies would we bear?"
-Dallin H. Oaks, April 2004 General Conference
"The arithmetic of this parable [The
Ten Virgins] is chilling. The ten virgins obviously represent members
of Christ's Church, for all were invited to the wedding feast and all knew what
was required to be
admitted when the bridegroom came. But only half were ready when he came."
-Dallin H. Oaks, April 2004 General Conference
