Essentials in Church History: A History of the Church from the Birth of Joseph Smith to the Present Time (1922), with Introductory Chapters on the Antiquity of the Gospel and the "Falling Away"
Smith, Joseph Fielding
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- History
The light of Christ is the light of truth and is the light of the sun,
the planets, the stars, and the power by which they were made; it is
the light which quickeneth the intelligence of man; it is the life
and light of all things, and is the law by which they are governed;
it fills the immensity of space; to every kingdom there is given laws
which have their bounds and conditions; there is no space in which
there is no kingdom, great or small; the worlds in space are peopled
with the children of our Father; the earth on which we dwell is a
living body and shall die, but shall be raised again a celestial body
and shall become the abode of celestial beings; the inhabitants of the
earth who are unfaithful must inherit another kingdom in eternity;
he who cannot abide the law of the celestial kingdom, cannot abide a
celestial glory; every man in the resurrection is quickened by the
glory of the kingdom to which he has attained: the spirit and the body
is the soul of man, and the redemption of the soul is through the
death and resurrection of Jesus Christ; after the testimonies of the
elders will come the testimonies of judgments; the order of the signs
preceding the coming of the Savior, are made known; the redemption of
the just; the destruction of the "great and abominable church;" and the
fate of the wicked, are declared among the great truths contained in
this revelation.
In February, 1833, the Lord gave to Joseph Smith the "Word of Wisdom"
(Doc. and Cov. Sec. 89), for the temporal salvation of mankind. March
15, 1833, the doctrines of the eternity of matter; the glory of God is
Intelligence; the innocence of man in the beginning; and many other
things were received (Doc. and Cov. Sec. 93).
