40:19 Now, whether the souls and the bodies of those of whom has been
spoken shall all be reunited at once, the wicked as well as the
righteous, I do not say; let it suffice; that I say that they all come
forth; or in other words, their resurrection cometh to pass before the
resurrection of those who die after the resurrection of Christ.
40:20 Now, my son, I do not say that their resurrection cometh at the
resurrection of Christ; but behold, I give it as my opinion, that the
souls and the bodies are reunited, of the righteous, at the
resurrection of Christ, and his ascension into heaven.
40:21 But whether it be at his resurrection or after, I do not say; 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
come forth, and be reunited, both soul and body, and be brought to
stand before God, and be judged according to their works.
40:22 Yea, this bringeth about the restoration of those things of which
has been spoken by the mouths of the prophets.
40:23 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.
40:24 And now, my son, this is the restoration of which has been spoken
by the mouths of the prophets—
40:25 And then shall the righteous shine forth in the kingdom of God.
40:26 But behold, an awful death cometh upon the wicked; for they die
as to things pertaining to things of righteousness; for they are
unclean, and no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of God; but they
are cast out, and consigned to partake of the fruits of their labors or
their works, which have been evil; and they drink the dregs of a bitter
cup.
Alma Chapter 41
41:1 And now, my son, I have somewhat to say concerning the restoration
of which has been spoken; for behold, some have wrested the scriptures,
and have gone far astray because of this thing. And I perceive that thy
mind has been worried also concerning this thing. But behold, I will
explain it unto thee.
41:2 I say unto thee, my son, that the plan of restoration is requisite
with the justice of God; for it is requisite that all things should be
restored to their proper order. Behold, it is requisite and just,
according to the power and resurrection of Christ, that the soul of man
should be restored to its body, and that every part of the body should
be restored to itself.
41:3 And it is requisite with the justice of God that men should be
judged according to their works; and if their works were good in this
life, and the desires of their hearts were good, that they should also,
at the last day, be restored unto that which is good.
