In comparing the Book of Mormon with our day, there are many interesting parallels. In each:

DESTRUCTION: The more righteous gather in and the wicked are destroyed to prepare the way for the Coming of the Son of God.

COMING OF CHRIST: The righteous are resurrected. Christ comes to His people, heals the sick, reestablishes his Church and expounds all things.

PEACE: All eventually are converted to the true Gospel and become partakers of the Heavenly Gift. The cities are rebuilt and a great period of peace continues for several generations.

This pattern can be found throughout the Book of Mormon.

Is latter-day history laid out and foreshadowed in the Book of Mormon? What if we were to take the most fundamental and key prophetic events of the last days and organize them chronologically, and then lay out the Book of Mormon history on top of it? How does this help us better understand the signs of the times in the last days? What can this tell us the challenges that lie ahead, and more importantly, the answers to those challenges?
