A Vision of Eternity
Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon, as you studied My word, I opened the heavens to show you a glimpse of My eternal plan. This vision reveals the glory of My kingdom and the destiny of My children.
Jesus Christ Is Central
I testify of My Son, Jesus Christ. He is the Savior, the Firstborn, and the Creator of all things. He came into the world to redeem it, and through Him, salvation is possible for everyone who believes and follows Him.
Three Degrees of Glory
- Celestial Glory:
- This is the highest glory, reserved for those who love Me, keep My commandments, and follow My gospel.
- These are My faithful children who are purified through Christ. They will dwell in My presence and receive all that I have.
- Terrestrial Glory:
- This glory is for those who were honorable and good but didn’t fully accept My gospel or My Son in mortality.
- They will receive great blessings but won’t dwell in My presence.
- Telestial Glory:
- This is the glory for those who rejected Me and My gospel and chose sin over righteousness.
- They will suffer for their choices but will eventually be redeemed through Christ. They will not inherit the fullness of My kingdom but will still experience My mercy.
A Warning to the Sons of Perdition
There is a group who will not inherit any degree of glory: those who fully knew My truth, saw My power, and still chose to rebel against Me. They will remain in darkness and separation, having rejected all My mercy.
Rejoice in My Plan
This vision is a gift to help you understand My justice, mercy, and love. My plan is perfect, and My work is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of all My children. Trust in Me, and you’ll see My glory.
