@NEETzsche @cowanon The cyclical view is a LDS distinctive, but prophecies do repeat. The Old Testament prophecies frequently have an initial fulfillment, and then a Christological one later. We also have typology, for example, Jesus uses the Exodus event as a proof or the Resurrscgion. Then you look at Church history, and it very frequently mimics the history of Israel and Judah in the Books of Kings. Arianism and Monothelitism aren’t unlike idols and high places.

Point being, the repetition is there, though not necessarily the circularity.
