========== Details on each of the 21 prophecies yet to be fulfilled ============

Table of contents:

Sign 12. A full end of all nations

          D&C 87:6 “the full end of all nations” means as the millennium begins and the Savior takes over to rule, all governments will cease to exist.

Sign 18. Mother Earth will rejoice to finally be free of wickedness

          When shall I [the earth] rest? (Moses 7:47-9). When the Son of Man cometh in the flesh (2nd coming), shall the earth rest (Moses 7:54-58). It’s interesting that the earth is not inanimate as many suppose. It shall die and be quickened again – D&C 88:25-6. Also referred to by John’s vision of heaven where he saw resurrected beasts, creeping things and fowls (animals) – D&C 77:2-3 and “every tree … became a living soul” (Moses 3:9)

Sign 19. The Lost Ten Tribes will return

          In addition to current members who are members of various of the 10 tribes, there is also a large group known as the lost 10 tribes. Elder Talmadge explained that they are not “lost” unto the Lord – James E Talmadge, Conference Report, Oct 1916, p 76)

          The Ten tribes formed the northern kingdom at Shechem in Samaria (Bible Dictionary). The northern kingdom was comprised of all tribes except Judah and Benjamin (and some members of Levi) who were known as the southern kingdom, Judah.  The Northern Kingdom (10 tribes) were led away by the Assyrians in 721 BC (2 Kings 17:6). Some were assimilated by the Assyrians but a distinctive group was led to the north, intact. Christ visited them (3 Nephi 17:4) and the gospel preached among them (3 Nephi 21:26). This group will return before the second coming. Elder Talmadge said the Lord has hidden them (Articles of Faith, p 308). D&C 133:26-33 describes them as in the north countries, having prophets, that a highway will be cast up, they will bring rich treasures, they will bring their “words.” (2 Nephi 29:13); their “scriptures” (James E Talmadge, Conference Report, Apr 1916, p 130). They will go to Zion (the New Jerusalem – Orson Pratt, Journal of Discourses, 18:68) to receive their blessings from Ephraim. This return is expected to be more spectacular than when the children of Israel were originally led out of Egypt by Moses in 1500 BC.

          Moses’ appearance in the Kirtland temple in 1836 committed the keys of leading of the ten tribes from the land of the north. (D&C 110:11). “This great gathering will take place under the direction of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for he holds the keys.” (Bruce R McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p 458). Eventually they will receive their land inheritance when they go to Jerusalem (Orson Pratt, Journal of Discourses, 18:68)

Sign 30. The Jews accept the true gospel

          The Jews shall begin to believe in Christ (2 Nephi 30:7) and the Lord will defend Jerusalem (Zechariah 12:7-10). Although some faithful Jewish members have already joined the church, this will not be fulfilled until large numbers of Jews accept the Savior and are baptized into the church. This will take place at the conclusion of the Battle of Armageddon where Christ will save his holy city. Those remaining will ask “What are these wounds in thy hands?” (Zechariah 13:6). Elder Penrose described the scene “Then will unbelief depart from their souls, and the blindness in part which has happened unto Israel be removed.” (“The Second Advent,” Charles W Penrose, Millennial Star, Vol. 21, Sep 10, 1859, 582-3
