I would love to have help with this analysis!

Analyzing Scriptures

I haven’t analyzed all scriptures which mention signs of the Second Coming and I don’t claim that my current analysis is without error. You could help by analyzing additional scriptures or reviewing the scriptures I have already analyzed. The full list of signs is annotated with scripture references and is ordered according to the common ordering of scriptures (OT, NT, BoM, D&C, PoGP).

There are two methods I have found helpful for analyzing scriptures:

  1. Review an entire passage and extract all the relationships between signs from it. This works well for large passages like D&C 88 or many chapters of Revelation which mention many signs.
  2. Review all scriptures which mention a particular sign. For example, you might review all the verses listed in the Topical Guide under Israel, Gathering of or search (via the app or website) for trump of God.

Identifying Synonyms

The full chart is too complicated. One easy way to simplify the chart is to identify and merge synonyms. We have a list of synonyms that have already been identified. There are also notes about some synonyms that required research. You can help with identify more synonyms by reviewing the simplified chart to find signs that seem similar. You may also review a list of possibilities.

Creating Visualizations

The charts help visualize the complexity of the data, and even though we generate a simplified carth, it still isn’t simple enough. We have a list of existing ideas for enhancing the existing charts or creating new visualizations. You could help us brianstorm additional ideas or help implement our current ideas.
