JS - Matthew
Speaking of the events that would shortly come to past, the Savior said -
"...Take heed that no man deceive you;
6 For many shall come in my name, saying—I am Christ—and shall deceive many;
7 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations, for my name’s sake;
8 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another;
9 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many;
10 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold..." (Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:5–10)
Just as many of the prophecies of Isaiah applied to his time as well as the last days, I see these words of the Savior very applicable to our day as a sign of the times.
I can't help but think of those philosophies of our day that suggest will save us or the earth as false "Christs". I will always turn these thoughts to what has the Prophet said on the matter.
