An Examination into and an Elucidation of the Great Principle of the Mediation and Atonement of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Taylor, John
Atonement -- Mormon Church; Latter Day Saint churches -- Doctrines
And it is this same Gospel, attended by the same power and spirit,
blessed by the same inspiration, and led by the same Priesthood, that
is now being preached to all the world for a witness. Through its
principles, and by its power the Kingdom of God will be established,
righteousness spread, evil overcome, and Satan be vanquished; by it
Zion and the New Jerusalem will be built up, Enoch and his city be
received, the work of the Millennium be done, the renovation of the
earth accomplished, and all God's glorious will be fulfilled, until
the vision becomes a reality which Daniel saw and wrote:
"Behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and
came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And
there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all
people, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom, that
which shall not be destroyed. * * * And the kingdom and dominion, and
the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to
the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey
him."--Daniel, vii, 13, 14, 27.
APPENDIX.
The Ideas of a General Atonement and Redemption, Entertained by
Ancient Heathen Nations, Derived Originally from the Teachings of
Earlier Servants of God.
The following are some natural deductions drawn from the theories
entertained by men and recorded in history, which tend to establish
rather than to overturn the principles which are so clearly
demonstrated in the foregoing pages, exhibiting and showing that the
atonement was a great plan of the Almighty for the salvation,
redemption and exaltation of the human family; and that the pretenders
in the various ages had drawn whatever of truth they possessed, from a
knowledge of those principles taught by the Priesthood from the
earliest periods of recorded time; instead of Christianity being
indebted, as some late writers would allege, to the turbid systems of
heathen mythology and to pagan ceremonials.
