The Great Apostasy Considered in the Light of Scriptural and Secular History is a 1909 book by James E. Talmage that summarizes the Great Apostasy, Mormon doctrine, from the viewpoint of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Talmage wrote his book with the intention that it be used as a teaching tool within the LDS Church's Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association and the Young Women's Mutual Improvement Association. The book is "in many ways quite derivative" of B. H. Roberts's 1893 Outlines of Ecclesiastical History. Both writers borrowed heavily from the writings of Protestant scholars who argued that Roman Catholicism had apostatized from true Christianity. Talmage's book has been described as "the most recognizable and noted work on the topic" of Latter-day Saint views of the Great Apostasy.

Those who say "Rapture before Tribulation" are in effect saying "peace and safety"! And therefore, you being a foolish virgin, with not enough oil to light your lamp for the breaking of the first six seals, shall these same seal judgments come upon you for your destruction, "...suddenly like birth pangs upon a woman with child and they shall not escape", I Thessalonians 5:3. Can you put your finger on the order of events Christ gives us in Matthew 24:3-31? See also the Apostasy and the "man of lawlessness", both come before the rapture. Read: II Thessalonians 2:3. See order of events: Daniel chapter 12, Revelation chapters 6, 7, 13 and 14. Remember, there is only one harvest or rapture. Make ready ye saints in this; "The Laodicean Apostate Church". We must pass through the tribulation for the trying of our faith; for the separating of the wheat from the tares, or the five wise from among the five foolish virgins. Do you have enough oil to endure unto the end? Or will your lamp go out? Try some of my oil; For "my cup runneth over!" Please! Read on... After the Rapture, then comes the Wrath of God on the Foolish Virgins! Next: Tormenting wrath on Anti-Christ followers of all nations, as the elements become increasingly toxic. Then Anti-Christ armies suffer greatly! Now comes all the armies of all nations to join satan, the beast and the false prophet, to battle Israel and God's armies from heaven; for "The Last Great Battle" "The Battle of Armageddon!" Next: "The Millennium," "The Second Death", "Lake of Fire..."

Are we on the verge of a great apostasy in the church? "For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths." --2 Timothy 4:3-4 Jesus Christ is coming back. It is certainly a Christian's greatest hope during these difficult times. The Bible warns us that the last days will be tumultuous--wars and rumors of wars will spread (Matthew 24:6). In our age, the world seems to be spinning out of control, creating fear, confusion, and uncertainty. In addition to violence, pestilence, and epidemics, the Bible predicts a great "falling away" from God in the end times. Bible teachers call that "the great apostasy." Are we seeing evidence today in the church of this massive rejection of sound and wholesome teaching? Bestselling authors Mark Hitchcock and Jeff Kinley team up to examine the evidence from the teachers of our time. Are today's teachers allowing people to follow their own desires by telling them what they want to hear, as the Bible clearly predicts? Are major portions of the church ready to abandon sound and wholesome teaching? Together, Mark and Jeff explore alarming trends among today's church leaders and they are simply stunned by what they discover. The great apostasy is coming, but is it closer than we imagine? What does that mean for the future? Let Mark and Jeff be your steady guides to the difficult days ahead.

Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.

The Bible, Book of Mormon, and modern revelation through the Prophet Joseph Smith, prophesy that the gospel of Jesus Christ would shift from the Gentile stewards of the gospel back to Israel in the last days. That shift is currently underway. The LDS Church enjoys beautiful truths, teachings, practices, wealth and members. Yet, this prosperity has resulted in a dangerous ease. It is time to repent, for the Lord is angry with this people, for their hearts have waxed hard, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes cannot see afar off. And for these many generations have they gone astray and have denied the Lord, and have sought their own counsels. The Latter-Day Saints claim nobility and favor because of what came through Joseph Smith, but have corrupted the basic, powerful, life-changing Doctrine taught by Jesus Christ. Both individual and institutional apostasy has resulted en masse. The truths they once held dear, and that could have resulted in Zion, have been discarded. Only a smattering of the spirit still exists among them and the time has come that the Lord desires all to remove their ignorance or be swept off the land. This book, originally written as a personal letter, conveys the authors' understanding of specific deviations the Church has taken that have caused the condemned and rejected status the Church has held for generations. It also attempts to convey hope; a light at the end of the tunnel, if the LDS gentile stewards of the gospel choose to repent and renew true faith in their Savior, Jesus Christ, through the opportunity now being offered by God.
