[MUSIC PLAYING] Based on actual events as
recorded in the Book of Mormon: Another Testament
of Jesus Christ.
I have great anxiety
for our people.
I am desirous for the
welfare of their souls. Teach them the words
of Isaiah, and speak unto them for their sakes.
The Lord has shown
me that those who were at Jerusalem,
from whence we came, have been slain and
carried away captive. Nevertheless, the
Lord has shown unto me that they should return again. And he will be
merciful unto them, that when they shall come to
the knowledge of their Redeemer, they shall be gathered
together again to the lands of their inheritance. And there are many
things which have been spoken by Isaiah which
may be likened unto you, because ye are of
the house of Israel. For the Lord God will
fulfil his covenants which he has made unto his
children; and for this cause the prophet has
written these things. I have read these
things that ye might know that he has covenanted
with all the house of Israel. I know that ye know that our
flesh must waste away and die; nevertheless, in our
bodies we shall see God. I do not understand. How can our flesh waste away
and die, but in our bodies we shall see God?
As death hath
passed upon all men, there must needs be a
power of resurrection, and the resurrection
must needs come unto man by reason of the
fall; and the fall came by reason of transgression;
and because man became fallen they were cut off from
the presence of the Lord. Wherefore, there must needs
be an infinite atonement. O the wisdom of God,
his mercy and grace! For behold, if the flesh
should rise no more our spirits must become
subject to that angel who fell from before the
presence of the Eternal God, and became the devil,
to rise no more. O how great the
goodness of our God, who prepareth a way for our escape. Wherefore, death and hell
must deliver up their dead, and hell must deliver
up its captive spirits, and the grave must deliver
up its captive bodies, and the bodies and
the spirits of men will be restored
one to the other; and it is by the power
of the resurrection of the Holy One of Israel. He cometh into the world that
he may save all men if they will hearken unto his
voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains
of all men, yea, the pains of every
living creature, both men, women, and children. And he suffereth this
that the resurrection might pass upon all men, that
all might stand before him at the great and judgment day. And he commandeth all men
that they must repent, and be baptized in his
name, having perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel,
or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.
Wo unto all those who
die in their sins; for they shall return to
God, and behold his face, and remain in their sins. Remember, to be
carnally-minded is death, and to be spiritually-minded
is life eternal.
I would speak unto you
more; but on the morrow I will declare unto you
the remainder of my words. Amen. Amen.
