Now this restoration shall come to all, both old and young; both
bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the
righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their
heads be lost; but all things shall be restored to its perfect
frame, as it is now, or in the body.--_Book of Alma, xi_: 41-44.
The Testimony of Alma.
But this much I say, that there is a space between death and the
resurrection of the body, and a state of the soul in happiness or
in misery, until the time which is appointed of God that the dead
shall {48} come forth, and be re-united, both soul and body, and be
brought to stand before God, and be judged according to their works;
Yea, this bringeth about the restoration of those things of which
have been spoken by the mouths of the prophets.
The soul shall be restored to the body, and the body to the soul;
yea, and every limb and joint shall be restored to its body; yea,
even a hair of the head shall not be lost, but all things shall be
restored to their proper and perfect frame.--_Book of Alma, xl_:
21-23.
The Testimony of Samuel.
For behold, He [Jesus] surely must die, that salvation may come;
yea, it behooveth Him, and becometh expedient that He dieth, to
bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, that thereby men may be
brought into the presence of the Lord;
Yea, behold this death bringeth to pass the resurrection, and
redeemeth all mankind from the first death.--_Book of Helaman,
xiv_: 15, 16.
The Words of Jesus.
And it came to pass that He [Jesus] said unto Nephi, bring forth
the record which ye have kept.
And when Nephi had brought forth the records, and laid them before
His, He cast His eyes upon them and said,
Verily I say unto you, I commanded my servant Samuel, the Lamanite,
that he should testify unto this people, that at the day that the
Father should glorify His name in me, that there were many saints
who should arise from the dead, and should appear unto many, and
should minister unto them. And He said unto them, were it not so?
And His disciples answered Him and said, Yea, Lord, Samuel did
prophesy according to Thy words, and they were all fulfilled.
And Jesus said unto them, How be it that ye have not written this
thing, that many saints did arise and appear unto many, and did
minister unto them?
And it came to pass that Nephi remembered that this thing had not
been written.
And it came to pass that Jesus commanded that it should be written;
therefore it was written according as He commanded.--_3 Nephi,
xxiii_: 7-13.
The Testimony of Moroni.
