Elder David A. Bednar, in his Christmas message, referred to the prophecy of Samuel the Lamanite in the Book of Mormon that five years would pass, and then would come the Son of God. As the moment approached, some began to say that the time had passed for Samuel's words to be fulfilled.
As Elder Bednar spoke, my thoughts fell on this modern day, of how it has been roughly 2,000 years since the birth of Christ, and the day for his Second Coming is perhaps nigh at hand. And, in a likeness of the time in the Book of Mormon when doubters doubted the first coming, some might suggest the time for the Second Coming has passed.
I do not know; it could be many decades, maybe centuries before the Savior comes again. But, I know we are in the last days. At this Christmas time, as we think of the Savior's coming the first time, I wonder how close we are to His Second Coming.
