As Jesus Christ ascended into heaven at the completion of His mortal ministry, two angels declared to His Apostles, “This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11). Since that time, believers have looked forward to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
The Second Coming will be a fearful, mournful time for the wicked, but it will be a day of peace for the righteous. Christ taught that he will send signs to warn the those looking for coming of Christ. Many of the signs are terrifying and dreadful. The prophets have warned that the earth will experience great turmoil, wickedness, war, and suffering. The prophet Daniel said that the time before the Second Coming would be a time of trouble such as the earth has never known (see Daniel 12:1). We can expect earthquakes, disease, famines, great storms, lightnings, and thunder (see Matthew 24:7; D&C 88:90). Hailstorms will destroy the crops of the earth (see D&C 29:16).
Also Jesus told His disciples that war would fill the earth: “Ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. … For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom” (Matthew 24:6–7) This all may sound scary but is all has a reason. For when Christ returns the world must be ready for Him. The wicked can't be on the earth when Christ coming and rein and on the earth. Jesus is warning us with things to tell us to get our lives in order.
For when Jesus Christ come he wipe away all our tears and sorrow. Great will be joy of those that are with Him. So let us listen to His messages.
