Inspired Prophetic Warnings: Book of Mormon and Modern Prophecies About America's Future [Hardcover]

Duane S Crowther (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 2000

The scriptures and modern prophets together proclaim a solemn message for those living in the Saturday evening of time; mankind must repent and serve God or more severe judgments than the earth has ever known in its history will be poured out upon them!

Inspired Prophetic Warnings is a carefully documented sudy of that warning message. It draws from a broad array of prophetic statements made by inspired prophets, both ancient and modern, integrating their messages so the many interwoven themes are easily understood. The prophecies are grouped, correlated and summarized to show their interrelationships. Penetrating insights are revealed through this means. Numerous prophecies not readily accessible from other sources are included. This book shows that men must believe in God and serve him if they are to reap his blessings.

Many of the recorded prophecies are specifically directed to the people of America. They warn that if the inhabitants of America turn to wickedness,fight against Zion, or allow secret combinations to spread, this great nation will be destroyed. Also contained are warnings of severe persecutions to be heaped upon the Saints in the last days.

The prophecies found in the book warn of a third world war, a fourth world war, and a period between them of world-wide anarchy and chaos. Visions of judgments by famine, sword and pestilence are recorded and described. The prophecies warn that iternational strife and distress will continue through the great Battle of Armageddon.

Of particular value is the section of choosing a personal course for the future. Words of counsel, revealed over the years, are applied to help the Saints maintain their spiritual and temporal stability as the judgments of the last days are poured out.

The book continues the warning message of the author's earlier classic, Prophecy - Key To The Future, and features almost all new material not contained in that earlier work.

Solidly based in the scriptural doctrines of the Church, Inspired Prophetic Warnings will have a broad impact. Its timely message is valuable to all who prepare for the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the events prophesied to precede his advent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warnings of Future Judgments if America Turns to Wickedness, November 30, 2009

By 

D. Crowther - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inspired Prophetic Warnings: Book of Mormon and Modern Prophecies About America's Future (Hardcover)

This book is written in three Sections. Section I is titled "The Prophetic Warnings." The title of Section II is "Famine, Sword and Pestilence--Instruments of God's Judgments." Section III is on "Personal Preparation for the Last Days."

The first section analyzes nine comprehensive series of prophetic warnings, all drawn from the Book of Mormon. Each section represents a broad pattern of scriptural admonitions:

1. "Those Who Do Not Believe in God Will Be Destroyed."
2. "Those Who Will Not Serve God Will Be Destroyed."
3. If People Turn to Wickedness, They and the Land Will Be Cursed."
4. "If People Do Not Repent, They Will Be Destroyed."
5. "If the People Fight Against Zion, They Will Be Destroyed."
6. "The Great and Abominable Church Will Persecute the Saints."
7. "If Secret Combinations Are Allowed to Spread, the Nation Will Be Destroyed."
8. "If the People Choose Iniquity, Judgments Will Come Upon Them."
9. "Conflict and Apostasy."

The second section contains three chapters, each of which include numerous prophetic warnings concerning possible tribulations which may arise if people fail to respond to the warnings recorded in the nine chapters of Section I. Chapter X (21 pages) cites "Prophecies of Future Famine." Chapter XI (60 pages) gives many prophesied details of future conflicts and their aftermaths. It is titled "God Has Decreed Wars Upon the Wicked." Chapter XII (12 pages) covers "Pestilence and the Lord's Desolating Scourge."

Section III (49 pages) is a more upbeat chapter concerning "Personal Preparation for the Last Days." It counsels adopting attitudes based on gospel principles, then suggests numerous spiritual and temperal preparations one can and should make. Finally, it gives suggestions about how to interact with others in the last-days environment.

The message of this book is that maintaining righteousness, on both a personal and national level, is the essential key to preventing these dire prophetic warnings from coming to pass. Unfortunately, if the American nation allows itself to turn away from righteous and permits wickedness to prevail, then the prophesied consequences will become unavoidable.

This book is a Volume 2 to the author's best-selling book on last-days events: "Prophecy--Key To The Future."
