Signs of the Times

I have noticed that a lot of Hollywood movies and even some Christain movies focus on how terrible things are going to get at "The End of the World." I do believe that things are going to get worse before they get better and that we are going to have to rely on common decency to survive. But I also believe that things WILL GET BETTER. No matter how many times "the world" has tried to oppress, knock down, degrade us, the human race, we have risen from the ashes stronger, more resilient, and more wise. I believe we will do it again, one final, last time and then live with, Our Lord, in peace for a thousand years. - Poor Anne

"The lesson which the Signs of the Times should teach us is one of patience, endurance, and calm reliance on the Lord. The result will be that we shall be stronger, wiser, purer, happier, for the experience gained, and the work of the Lord ... will yet triumph gloriously over all its foes, and the infinite atonement of the Redeemer will accomplish its perfect work. After the trial comes the reward."
