review 1: I like how the signs were presented in this book. First, everything was listed as either had already happened, was currently happening, or had yet to happen. The other thing I liked was that there was a focus on scriptural details of the signs and not so much on the author's personal thoughts and interpretations. Basically, it was like a cliff-notes version of 65 signs of the times - easy read, good basic information.
review 2: I read this book with the intent of reminding myself in some kind of logical order, what the signs of the times were, especially that specifically referred to the 2nd Coming Event. Ridges continued to present the "party line" that "No One will know" when the Savior comes and I suppose when you get down to the nitty gritty, we won't know
... more the specifics such as July 17th, 2020 at 10 a.m. PST, but we will know roughly because Jesus will do three pre-visits to specific bodies of people. The Main Event of the 2nd Coming when "every knee shall bow" etc, will be after those visits. The purpose for my inquiry was due to false doctrine being taught in Sunday School, that the prophets would not know first that the Savior was coming (which was my contention based on Amos 3:7). Ridges reiterates this even though he also mentions the prophecies of the three pre-visits. So I ask, in light of the Lord not doing anything without revealing it to His prophets first, how could a prophet not know the Savior is coming? He might not know now, but according to other doctrines and scriptures (which are actually also noted in this book), he will know because he will be setting up a huge conference for a "thousand thousands" saints (living and dead) with prophets (living and dead) and Father Adam, who will turn over the keys of the Earth to the Savior. That's a pretty strong conclusive prophecy that the prophets will know in advance, when the Savior is coming. In my mind, it doesn't matter that it's not the World 2nd Coming Event for everyone. When the Savior comes to the Saints, they will be prepared and they will know He is coming because they're invited to the meeting. This is an event that opens the 2nd Coming events. I'm tired of Saints thinking that no one will know that He is coming until the millisecond that the Savior descends through the clouds for the Main World Event and that is NOT true. Sorry. I'll get off my soap box. less
