Latter-day Saint scholars appeal to scriptural accounts and explore the events that will precede the Second Coming and Final Judgment of the Savior. These include the Apostasy, the Restoration of the gospel through in the 1800s through the Prophet Joseph Smith, the joining of the records of Judah and Joseph. Daniel's dream of the “stone cut from the mountain” is highlighted, as is the prophet Elijah's mission to set the stage for the Savior’s return and the temple work that will bind the human family together before the Judgment.
