Discourse 1877-11-18
Elder W Woodruff quoted from the revelations that
the Lord is angry with the wicked every day. Many
things are being done here which are pleasing to the
Lord. The building of Temples may be an advantage
pecuniarily; but there are other and far greater
considerations. The Lord will not disappoint anyone
in regard to his revelations, their unbelief to the
contrary, notwithstanding. As God lives the United
States will follow in the wake of the Jaredites.
The labor of the Elders of Israel today is in building
Temples, administering therin for the living and the dead;
when the ordinances are performed for them they are saved
so far, the Heavens are watching no we should be
diligent. Man, who is destined to live as long as
God lives, says, give me money, you may take the
blessing of eternal lives. What a strange inconsistency.
No man can be exalted to the godhead but by the laws
of Celestial Marriage. Zion will rise, Babylon fall
could we see beyond the veil we would go to and build
these temples and be anxious to redeem our dead.
