Just as the prophets of old declared the coming of Christ in the Meridian of Time and gave the signs that would accompany his coming, even to the casting of lots for his raiment when he was crucified, so have the prophets looked forward to the latter days when he would come in the clouds of heaven, and so have they proclaimed the events that would precede his coming. When he was here upon this earth, he was always looking forward to his final coming when he would come in power to reign among the children of men as King of kings and Lord of lords, and we should know something of the events that are to transpire to prepare the way for his coming. – LeGrand Richards, “Conference Report,” April 1958, Afternoon Meeting, p.41
