About the Book:The Hour of God's Judgement: Joseph Smith's Paradigm of the Last-Days by Vern Swanson, published by Cedar Fort in 2022, is an insightful exploration of Joseph Smith's teachings and revelations concerning the last days. Swanson presents an in-depth analysis of Smith’s prophetic insights, framing them within a broader theological and historical context. The book delves into themes of judgment, preparation, and redemption as central components of Smith's vision for the latter days. Swanson meticulously examines Joseph Smith's revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants, drawing connections to biblical prophecies from the Old and New Testaments. He explores Smith’s paradigm of a divine timeline, including the roles of the gathering of Israel, the restoration of priesthood authority, and the establishment of Zion in preparation for Christ’s Second Coming. By grounding these events in scripture and prophetic utterances, Swanson illuminates the interconnectedness of ancient and modern prophecy. A significant portion of the book focuses on the "hour of God’s judgment," highlighting themes of spiritual accountability and the eventual triumph of righteousness over wickedness. Swanson discusses the cosmic struggle between good and evil, emphasizing humanity’s role in choosing faithfulness amid moral and societal challenges. He also addresses the significance of temple work, priesthood ordinances, and covenant-making in preparing for the prophesied millennial reign. Swanson goes beyond theological exposition by integrating historical and cultural insights. He considers how Smith’s teachings responded to the turbulent religious and social environment of the 19th century, situating them as both revolutionary and deeply rooted in ancient Judeo-Christian traditions. The author also critically engages with Joseph Smith’s vision of America as a chosen land and its role in the unfolding of last-days events. He examines how this perspective influenced early Latter-day Saint beliefs and practices, including the migration westward and the establishment of the Church in Utah. With accessible language and thoughtful commentary, The Hour of God’s Judgement serves as both an academic resource and a spiritual guide. Swanson invites readers to reflect on their personal readiness for the prophesied events while gaining a deeper appreciation for Joseph Smith’s expansive vision of God’s plan. This book offers a compelling narrative for anyone interested in eschatology, Latter-day Saint theology, or the enduring relevance of Joseph Smith’s teachings. Copyright © 2018-2025 TDM Inc.
