The concept of a restoration through the calling of modern prophets necessarily implies a belief in an apostasy, or a falling away. The apostasy of the early Christian church after the death of the apostles is sometimes referred to as the Great Apostasy because of its duration (more than a millennium and a half) and its depth. It was foreseen by ancient prophets (Amos 8:11–12; Isaiah 24:5), was universal in scope, and was a time when the powers of God and the doctrines of salvation were either not on earth or existed in an altered form. Warnings of this apostasy can be found in the New Testament (Acts 20:28–30; 2 Thessalonians 2:1–4; 1 Timothy 4:1–3; 2 Timothy 4:1–4; 1 John 2:18–19).— LDS Beliefs
