Consistent with the “other books” that are to come forth that will fulfill his prediction, therefore (1 Nephi 13:39), Jesus goes on to say that “in the latter day shall the truth come unto Gentiles, that the fulness of these things shall be made known unto them” (3 Nephi 16:7; emphasis added). That “truth” and […]

The prophet Alma taught that the word of God is comparable to a seed which, when nourished, grows up into the tree of life. Faith is replaced with knowledge as light distills “as the dews from heaven,” until the tree at last grows into full maturity (Alma 32:28-42; cf. D&C 121:45). Stated another way: “It

Paradoxically, on the other hand, as noted, because additional scriptures come forth only when the Gentiles “believe” the Book of Mormon—including its interpretation of the words of Isaiah (3 Nephi 26:7–11)—some must believe and understand them in order for that to occur. If not, if belief doesn’t involve acting upon it, how can it be

Two-hundred years ago, in the early hours of September 22, 1823, the angel Moroni appeared at the bedside of the prophet Joseph Smith to announce the coming forth of an ancient record whose contents contained “the fulness of the everlasting gospel… as delivered by the Savior to the ancient inhabitants [of the American continent]” (Joseph

Question: A few weeks ago or so, I ordered your books and have read several. I want to thank you. The feeling I’ve had the past few years telling me something is missing is subsiding as I discover new truths. Why have I heard this before? Is the word “hated” in 2 Nephi 29:5 indicative

Those who attain this second level of blessedness are freed from iniquity as well as sin. While we often lump “sins and iniquities” together as though they are the same thing, there exists a significant difference between the two. Persons on the Zion/Jerusalem level, for example, receive God’s forgiveness of their sins but must still

“Thus says the Holy One of Israel: Because you have rejected this word, and rely on manipulation and double dealing, and on them are dependent, this iniquity will be to you as a perilous breach exposed in a high wall which suddenly and unexpectedly collapses. It shall shatter with a crash like an earthenware vessel

(Preface to Endtime Prophecy) How long shall the Judeo-Christian world labor under misrepresentations of the truths of God and believers still remain oblivious? Have current religions produced the visions of God and angels the ancients experienced that we read of in holy writ? If not, shouldn’t their shepherds question whether the grass really is greener

Question: I’m curious about Isaiah’s description of Judea’s and Jerusalem’s deprivation of “both staff and crutch—all food supply and water supply” in Isaiah 3:1. Where will the staff and crutch be deprived? Is it safe to assume it is here in the U.S.? We can see the lack of leadership Isaiah describes in the same

According to Isaiah, God raises up his servant when the world is spiraling in a spiritual downturn—when God’s people are buying wholesale into the ideology of Babylon. Isaiah’s ministry was a type of that scenario. So was the time before the Flood, when wickedness and violence prevailed throughout the earth. At that time God destroyed

“In that day the Lord will thresh out [his harvest] from the torrent of the River to the streams of Egypt. But you shall be gleaned one by one, O children of Israel. In that day a loud trumpet shall sound, and they who were lost in the land of Assyria and they who were

Where do we suppose believers will learn what is next in line for them and this nation? As they don’t hear this from the pulpit, there must be another way the Lord has provided for his end-time people. We know he gives no commandment unless he prepares a way to keep it—and that “he speaketh
