Restored Truths

For that day will not come until the apostasy comes first.

He shall send you the one appointed, Jesus Christ, whom

heaven must receive until the times of the restoration of all
things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy
prophets since the world began.
• Now, what do we hear in the gospel which we have received? A voice
of gladness! A voice of mercy from heaven; and a voice of truth out of
the earth; glad tidings for the dead; a voice of gladness for the living
and the dead glad tidings of great joy.
• The voice of Michael, the archangel; the voice of Gabriel, and of
Raphael, and of divers angels, from Michael or Adam down to the
present time, all declaring their dispensation, their rights, their keys,
their honors, their majesty and glory, and the power of their
priesthood; giving line upon line, precept upon precept; here a little,
and there a little; giving us consolation by holding forth that which is
to come, confirming our hope! (D&C 128)

President Joseph Fielding Smith
“In my judgment there is no book on earth yet
come to man as important as the book known as
the Doctrine and Covenants, with all due respect to
the Book of Mormon, and the Bible, and the Pearl
of Great Price, which we say are our standards in
doctrine. The book of Doctrine and Covenants to us
stands in a peculiar position above them all.”
President Joseph Fielding Smith
“I am going to tell you why. When I say that, do not for a
moment think I do not value the Book of Mormon, the
Bible, and the Pearl of Great Price, just as much as any man
that lives; I think I do. I do not know of anybody who has
read them more, and I appreciate them; they are
wonderful; they contain doctrine and revelation and
commandments that we should heed; but the Bible is a
history containing the doctrine and commandments given
to the people anciently. That applies also to the Book of
Mormon. It is the doctrine and the history and the
commandments of the people who dwelt upon this
continent anciently.”
President Joseph Fielding Smith
“But this Doctrine and Covenants contains the
word of God to those who dwell here now. It is our
book. It belongs to the Latter-day Saints. More
precious than gold, the Prophet says we should
treasure it more than the riches of the whole earth.
I wonder if we do? If we value it, understand it, and
know what it contains, we will value it more than
wealth; it is worth more to us than the riches of the
earth.”
• Now, what do we hear in the gospel which we have received? A
voice of gladness! A voice of mercy from heaven; and a voice of truth
out of the earth; glad tidings for the dead; a voice of gladness for the
living and the dead glad tidings of great joy.
• The voice of Michael, the archangel; the voice of Gabriel, and of
Raphael, and of divers angels, from Michael or Adam down to the
present time, all declaring their dispensation, their rights, their keys,
their honors, their majesty and glory, and the power of their
priesthood; giving line upon line, precept upon precept; here a little,
and there a little; giving us consolation by holding forth that which is
to come, confirming our hope! (D&C 128)
Shall we not go on in so great a
cause?
