One thing is for sure, the Nephites were very cognizant about time. They noted years that had passed from the time Lehi left Jerusalem. They noted the years, the "reign of judges" that had passed since King Mosiah formed a new government. Then, with the prophecies of Samuel, the Lamanite, they began making note of the five years that would pass before the signs from heaven would testify of the Savior's birth and His death.
This has made me ask myself, am I that cognizant of time?
Am I taking note of the things that prophets and apostles are sharing?
Am I counting the days when the Savior will come again, seeking the signs that have been promised from heaven?

The Book of Mormon has been written for our time, in order for us to recognize the signs of the Savior's Second Coming. So, it should not be a surprise that there is a decrease of faith and righteousness and an increase of wickedness in the rising generation and among the very elect. It says so in the scriptures.
No wonder President Nelson has said, "I love you and thank you and now bless you with the ability to leave the world behind as you assist in this crucial and urgent work. Together we can do all that our Heavenly Father needs us to do to prepare the world for the Second Coming of His Beloved Son."
