Review
One of the strongest witnesses of the truthfulness of Mormonism is found in Biblical prophecies foretelling an apostasy from Christ's church and the restoration of that church in the last days. This hour-long tape presents that message in detail and stands as a powerful witness that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is God's authorized Church today.
The tape cites and explains Biblical passages warning of the apostasy that began in New Testament times, and it identifies essential characteristics of Christ's church which were lost as that apostasy took place.
It then summarizes the historical events in the restoration of the Church and cites Biblical prophecies relating to each of those events.
The speaker draws the final conclusion that only The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints fully accepts the reality of the universal apostasy, fulfills Biblical prophecies of the restoration, and has the characteristics of the New Testament Church today.
This powerful presentation is a message of major significance to every honest seeker of religious truth.
