I’ve been reading in Spanish to expand my
limited vocabulary. We have a Church
Distribution Center downstairs from our apartment and I purchased the text for
church history study used at the university level [341-343].
I’d like to share with you an important prophecy
given by the Prophet Joseph Smith relating to the Endowment as he experienced
premonitions that he was going to be killed.
This is related in the words of Orson Hyde, translated into Spanish, then
back to English by me. I hope the
content is not lost in my translation.
Orson Hyde was a member of the Twelve
Apostles at the time, just a few months before Joseph’s martyrdom. “We met with Brother Joseph almost every day
for several weeks. In one of these meetings he said, ‘Something is going to
happen, I don’t know what it is but the Lord has told me to hurry and give you
the Endowment before the temple is finished.’ He directed us through every one of the ordinances
of the Holy Priesthood, and after he had finished, rejoiced exceedingly and
said: ‘Now if they kill me, I will have all of the Keys and all of the Ordinances
and I will be able to confer them on others; and the armies of Satan will not
be able to destroy the Kingdom with the same speed as you will be able to build
it.”
Satan’s power and influence are stronger
today than ever before. Our Priesthood
Covenants and Ordinances, faithfully kept, are what give us the power, through
Jesus Christ, to overcome Satan. Without
them we lose for Eternity. They are powerfully real and true!
Family and friends, go often to the temple. Strengthen your commitment to keeping the
temple covenants.
Love, Dad
This is Kristie Great post dad. That is wonderful counsel and it's so amazing how real the powers on both sides really are. So grateful for the restoration.
