Preparation (The Second Coming)

1.) "The Lord has blessed this work, and the Church is being established across the world." (Neil L. Andersen, Preparing The World For The Second Coming, April 2011, http://www.lds.org)

2.) “We pray for each of you … [that] you can do the great work that lies before you … that you will be worthy [and willing] to carry on the responsibilities of building the kingdom of God and preparing the world for the Second Coming of the Savior." (Neil L. Andersen, Preparing The World For The Second Coming, April 2011, http://www.lds.org)

3.) "Therefore, as humble servants of the Lord, we call upon the leaders of nations to humble themselves before God, to seek his inspiration and guidance. We call upon rulers and people alike to repent of their evil ways. Turn unto the Lord, seek his forgiveness, and unite yourselves in humility with his kingdom. There is no other way. If you will do this, your sins will be blotted out, peace will come and remain, and you will become a part of the kingdom of God in preparation for Christ’s second coming. But if you refuse to repent or to accept the testimony of his inspired messengers and unite yourselves with God’s kingdom, then the terrible judgments and calamities promised the wicked will be yours." (Ezra Taft Benson, A Message To The World, October 2012, http://www.lds.org)

4.) "We need to make ... spiritual preparation for the events prophesied at the time of the Second Coming." (Dallin H. Oaks, Preparation For The Second Coming, April 2004, http://www.lds.org)

5.) "In modern revelation we have the promise that if we are prepared we need not fear  (D&C 38:30)." (Dallin H. Oaks, Preparation For The Second Coming, April 2004, http://www.lds.org)

6.) "We are living in a time of spiritual crisis. We are living in a time close to midnight. There is an urgency to meet the worldwide spiritual crisis through action now. It can only be accomplished by performance. Procrastination is a deadly weapon of human progress." (Marvin J. Ashton, A Time Of Urgency, April 1974, http://www.lds.org)

7.) "The Lord expects us to be as faithful, as devoted, as courageous as those who went before us. They were called to give their lives for the gospel. We are called to live our lives for the same purpose. In these last days we have special reason to do so." (Robert D. Hales, Preparations For The Restoration And The Second Coming: "My Hand Shall Be over Thee", October 2005, http://www.lds.org)

8.) "Those who are only sort of committed may expect to only sort of receive the blessings of testimony, joy, and peace. The windows of heaven might only be sort of open to them. Wouldn't it be foolish to think, "I'll commit myself 50 percent now, but when Christ appears at the Second Coming, I'll commit myself 100 percent"? " (Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Brother, I'm Committed, July 2011, http://www.lds.org)

9.) "We live in these days of the Lord's "marvelous work and a wonder ". We have been blessed to bring the gospel to our families and our prosperity and to assist in preparing for the Second Coming of the Savior." (Neil L. Anderson, Come Unto Him, April 2009, http://www.lds.org)

10.) "If we both live and proclaim these principles, we will be following Jesus Christ, who is the true Light of the World. We can be a force of righteousness in preparing for the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." (Quentin L. Cook, Let There Be Light!, November 2010, Liahona)
