Publisher's Synopsis
Among other things in this book, you will find fundamental, logical, scientific, prophetic, and well-referenced responses to the WORLD's persistent demands for conformity to their New and Everchanging standards of correctness, such as: --- Activism and political correctness promoted as the highest morality --- Promotion of alternative sexualities hailed as the next chapter in civil rights --- Adherence to religious principles mocked and disregarded as backward and ignorant --- Protests and civil unrest promoted in the media as societal progress --- Extreme and hysterical accounts of human impact on the environment that will shortly make the earth uninhabitable. In addition, you will find scriptural and prophetic discussions that will strengthen your faith in God and bolster your spirit to boldly face the forthcoming events of the Last Days with joy and anticipation. *************************************************************************************************************************** "The Last Days Status 2020" is a status update of prophesied events in the last days, as of 2020, as well as an assessment of Western Civilization with respect to its culture, morality, adherence to God's Commandments or lack thereof, prosperity, and its steps toward governmental and societal collapse prophesied, and the ultimate triumph of Jesus Christ over all. Timelines of fulfilled and yet-to-be fulfilled prophecies are presented in the heart of the book, allowing quick visual observation of our 2020 status with respect to the major events of the latter days, those prophesied or just consistent therewith. While significant effort is made to describe the prophecies, including the details of how they have been fulfilled or will be fulfilled in the future, the focus of the book is on describing the condition in which we live today, in the midst of prophecy fulfilled, being fulfilled, and yet to be fulfilled. The book begins by presenting the basis for determining what prophecy is and its correct interpretation, including the basic concept of how to find truth. Following which, the book builds upon these arguments to define society's status with regard to these prophecies, fulfilled and unfulfilled, based on these truths, sources of truth, and methods of distinguishing truth from error, including sound logic, well documented references, and the scientific method, where applicable. "The Last Days Status 2020", accepts as prophecy all that has been revealed by God to His chosen Prophets upon the earth. Consequently, it includes all that has been written in the Holy Bible, both Old and New Testaments, all that has been revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith and his successors, all that the prophets of the ancient Nephite and Jaredite nations revealed, as recorded in the Book of Mormon, and all other truly divine prophecies from those authorized and commanded by God to speak in His behalf. For believers, this book will provide an understanding of God's workings with His children on earth, in this day in which we live. It will provide an understanding of His commandments, the challenges we face and that lie ahead, and provide us with a perspective on how to view and possess ourselves in the midst of troubled times. Finally, this book will help you put the political correctness and social pressures of our day, and ever-changing worldly philosophies into proper context, as Christ would have us view them.
