An Examination into and an Elucidation of the Great Principle of the Mediation and Atonement of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Or to give the words of the inspired translation: "Then Jesus was led
up of the Spirit into the wilderness, to be with God. And when he had
fasted forty days and forty nights, and had communed with God, he was
afterwards an hungered, and was left to be tempted of the devil. And
when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God,
command that these stones be made bread. But Jesus answered and said,
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
"Then Jesus was taken up into the holy city, and the Spirit setteth
him on the pinnacle of the temple. Then the devil came unto him and
said, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written,
He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, and in their hands
they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a
stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God."
"And again, Jesus was in the Spirit, and it taketh him up into an
exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world
and the glory of them. And the devil came unto him again, and said,
All these things will I give unto thee, if thou wilt fall down and
worship me. Then said Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan; for it is
written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou
serve. Then the devil leaveth him."
Again, John in the Revelations, when referring to the latter days,
exclaims, "Wo to the inhabitants of the earth, and of the sea! for the
devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth he
hath but a short time." [Rev., xii, 12.] And by and by the same writer
tells us, in a passage already quoted, that Satan's time is finished,
and he is bound and cast into the bottomless pit.
CHAPTER VIII.
Seth--His Sacrifice Accepted--Rebellion in the Heavens--The
Gathering of the Patriarchs in the Valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman--
Sacrifices Offered There.
The next eminent personage that appears is Seth. Concerning him, it is
said in the Old Testament:
"And Adam knew his wife again, and she bare a son, and called his name
Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of
Abel, whom Cain slew."--Gen., iv, 25.
