Duane Crowther on D&C 77:6: Not the Age of the Earth but “Its Temporal Existence. . . Under Present Mortal Conditions”

  

Gain eternal perspective: The earth is approaching the end of its temporal existence. It is difficult to understand the events of the last days unless those events are viewed in the light of God’s eternal plant. The Lord has revealed that the earth only is to exist under present mortal conditions for a very short period, for he has referred to “the seven thousand years of its continuance, or its temporal existence.” (Duane S. Crowther, Inspired Prophetic Warnings [Bountiful, Utah: Horizon Publishers, 1987], 261)
