People NOT believing IS ONE of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES which would precede the Second Coming of the Lord. This was PROMISED by the LORD through His Prophets.
2 PETER 3: 2-4
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
This is what they will be thinking, EVEN NOW. People don't believe what the scriptures have been telling them, doing what they want and thinking that ALL THINGS WILL BE CONTINUING ON ALWAYS, AS IT HAS BEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING.
They think that the Scriptures are a book of fables, fairy tales, not to be taken seriously, only as a good entertainment read.
They think that the earthquakes, floods, pestilence, wars, famines have always been here, why would these things be called THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. They are no different than they have always been.
What they do not realize is that THEY ARE ON TH INCREASE and will not believe the INTENSITY they will develop into.
26 And in that day shall be heard of wars and rumors of wars, and the whole earth shall be in commotion, and men’s hearts shall fail them, and they shall say that Christ delayeth his coming until the end of the earth.
27 And the love of men shall wax cold, and iniquity shall abound.
They will continue on as they always have, doing what they want thinking, there are NO CONSEQUENCES. BUT THERE ARE.
We have our agency or freedom to choose our ACTIONS, BUT not the Consequences. They are Eternal Laws and are already set.
The Prophet Joseph Smith also told us this:
40 But of that day, and hour, no one knoweth; no, not the angels of God in heaven, but my Father only.
41 But as it was in the days of Noah, so it shall be also at the coming of the Son of Man;
42 For it shall be with them, as it was in the days which were before the flood; for until the day that Noah entered into the ark they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage;
43 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.
44 Then shall be fulfilled that which is written, that in the last days, two shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left;
45 Two shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken, and the other left;
46 And what I say unto one, I say unto all men; watch, therefore, for you know not at what hour your Lord doth come.
47 But know this, if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to have been broken up, but would have been ready.
48 Therefore be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh.
