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
Thus it would seem that the redeemed of the Lord from all nations and
peoples are indebted to the Lord Jesus Christ, through His atonement,
for the position that they will occupy in the state of exaltation here
referred to; and if they are exalted to be kings and priests unto God,
it is through the ordinances which He has appointed for the
accomplishment of this object, as the wise will understand. As regards
the Book mentioned in the above passage, an explanation thereof will
be found in the Key to the Revelation of John.--Doc. and Cov., Sec.
lxxvii, page 277. (Latest edition.)
"And it was given unto him [the Dragon] to make war with the Saints,
and to overcome them; and power was given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship
him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world."--Rev., xiii, 7, 8.
CHAPTER IV.
Extracts from the Pearl of Great Price and Inspired Translation of
Genesis--Record of Moses regarding Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham and
Joseph, and of their faith in the Coming of the Savior.
We shall now introduce some extracts from the Pearl of Great Price and
the Inspired Translation of the Book of Genesis, which replace some of
those parts, "plain and most precious," which are said to have been
taken from the version of the Holy Scriptures known as King James' or
the authorized version. These extracts are taken from the revelations
and writings of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
"And God spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, I am the Lord God Almighty,
and Endless is my name; for I am without beginning of days or end of
years; and is not this Endless? And, behold, thou art my son;
wherefore look, and I will show thee the workmanship of mine hands,
but not all; for my works are without end, and also my words; for they
never cease; wherefore, no man can behold all my works, except he
behold all my glory; and no man can behold all my glory, and
afterwards remain in the 'flesh on the earth. And I have a work for
thee, Moses, my son; and thou art in the similitude of mine Only
Begotten; and my Only Begotten is and shall be the Savior, for he is
full of grace and truth; but there is no God beside me, and all things
are present with me, for I know them all."--Pearl of Great Price.
"And in that day the Holy Ghost fell upon Adam, which beareth record
of the Father and the Son, saying, I am the Only Begotten of the
Father from the beginning, henceforth and for ever, that as thou hast
fallen thou mayest be redeemed; and all mankind, even as many as
will."--Ibid.
