“A record of anarchy and the collapse of government is found in 3 Nephi 1 to 10, preceding the coming of the Lord. This pattern, which can also be seen in many prophecies of the last days, seems to foreshadow a similar pattern of events in our time. (See Rev. 17–19; D&C 45:22–44; D&C 88:87–95; JS–M 1:23–37.)” (Garrett, “Peace Within,” 21).
