In Revelation 8 we read about Trumpets. The word trumpet means "warning".
The Lord will send a warning plague before sending the more serious ones. The Lord will send a warning earthquake before sending more serious ones, and so on.
When he sends the more serious ones, they are called vials. See Revelation 16.
Both trumpets (#1-4) and vials (#1-6) will be poured out before Armageddon, and then the last vial after Armageddon.
If you have an earthquake warning (SLC in March), that is a warning, partial missionaries coming home, warning, partial temples closed, warning, worldwide plague, warning, with more to come later again if man doesn't heed the warning (repent). The vials are some of the same events, but deadlier. (D&C 88 shows that when the missionaries are called home, the Lord will preach his own sermons of earthquakes and tsunamis).
Abomination of Desolation: See Matt 24:
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judæa flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Notes:
I used to think this was for those in Judea, but when you click on the footnote to flee, it references those scatter from the House of Israel. That's all of us!
Holy Place = Temple
Abomination of Desolation = description for something that makes thing desolate, like war/plagues/calamities
Here is an interpretation of that sign from the LDS New Testament Manual. p. 74
Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:13–20; Matthew 24:16–22. “Flee into the Mountains”
Prior to the Roman siege of Jerusalem in a.d. 70, Christians living in Jerusalem remembered that the Savior had warned, “Then let them who are in Judea flee into the mountains,” and they fled to a city called Pella in the northern foothills of the Jordan Valley. Though the Jews living in Jerusalem experienced starvation and eventual destruction during the Roman siege, those who heeded the Savior’s warning safely escaped.
The Savior’s prophecy recorded in Matthew 24:16–22 refers both to the great tribulation suffered by the Jews in a.d. 70 and to great tribulations in the latter days. In a.d. 70, things became so bad that if the Lord had not intervened and shortened those tribulations, the Jewish people would have been annihilated. The Lord’s intervention will also be necessary in the last days in order for His people to survive.
