The Second Coming of Jesus Christ may be far off… or right around the corner. While we don’t know when He will return in glory, we do know some of the signs preceding His coming and the promised peace that will follow. In Doctrine and Covenants 45:58-59, we are told that following Christ’s return, our “children shall grow up without sin unto salvation…. For the Lord shall be in their midst.” What greater blessing could there be than having the Lord physically present in raising our families?

Scripture Study
Teach your kids about being a “light” to the world by giving them flashlights and turning off the lights in the house. Use the flashlights while you Break The Code to study D&C 45:9. After you finish, talk about what it means to be a “light” to the world.
Go & Do Activity
Read D&C 45:9-10 and talk about how a “standard” was a banner or flag that was carried into battle to help soldiers know where to go. Talk with your family about the different flags they have seen around your neighborhood. Work together to design your own family flag that represents your commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Hands-On Activity
Gather your family together and make a fort! You can make your fort with things in your house like blankets, sheets, chairs and curtain rods. You can also add some lights to make it extra cozy. Once everyone is gathered into your fort, read and discuss D&C 45:67-71

Go & Do Activity
Show your child a picture of a temple. Teach them that the temple is a holy place. That means it is a place where we can feel Heavenly Father’s spirit and learn more about Him. Heavenly Father blesses those who attend the temple and those who hope to go inside someday. Read D&C 45:32. Teach that our homes and church buildings are also holy places. When we stand in these holy places, we can be protected and feel God’s love for us. Then, play the Stand in Holy Places Musical March Game. Play your favorite Primary songs as you march in a circle, standing in holy places. Talk about ways that your home can be like a temple. Share your testimony about how the temple has blessed your life and your family!

By the time the Israelites had their third king, the nation split into two groups: the 10 tribes in the north, forming the Kingdom of Israel, and the remaining two tribes in the south, forming the Kingdom of Judah. The Lord called a mighty prophet, Elijah, to remind His people of their true King: Jehovah (Jesus Christ). Elijah testified to the people that their idol worship was taking them farther away from God.
Going from tabernacle to temple was a big deal for the Israelites. So big, in fact, that even those building the temple had to be worthy of the task. David’s sin in his lust for Bathsheba disqualified him to build the Lord’s house, resulting in his son Solomon completing it. For building the temple with a pure heart, the Lord promised Solomon that so long as he kept the commandments, “I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people” (1 Kings 6:13).
The story of David versus Goliath teaches many important principles, with one being that if we try our best and have real faith in God, He will help us make the most of our efforts. Though an army was present and he was offered the king’s armor, David brought his sling and his belief that the Lord would prevail through him. It was enough: “the Lord saveth not with sword and spear” (1 Samuel 17:47) but with trust and hope.
