Calamaties and Troubles of the Last Days
Bruce R. McConkie


 
Be it remembered that tribulations lie ahead ... We do not know when these calamities and troubles of the last days will fall upon us as individuals or upon the bodies of the Saints. The Lord deliberately withholds from us the day and hour of his coming and of the tribulation which shall proceed it, all as part of the testing of morality ... We do not say that all the Saints will be spared and saved from the coming day of desolation. But we do say there is no promise of security except for those who love the Lord and who are seeking to do all that he commands. It may be for instance, that nothing except the power of faith and the authority of the priesthood can save individuals and congregations from the atomic holocausts that surely shall be.
