The signs of his coming will continue right up to the moment Jesus returns. The sun will be darkened as smoke fills the skies, and the moon shall be turned into blood, and the stars will fall from heaven. False prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, even deceiving some on the Saints.

War will increase until it is all that is spoken of in newspapers, radio, and television. The wicked will kill the wicked in battles of great destructive force. Any who will not take up his sword against his neighbor will have to flee to Zion, the only place of safety. And so all the righteous from all the nations will come to Zion, singing songs of everlasting joy.
