7 For
behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, the time is soon at hand that
I shall come in a cloud with power and great glory.
8 And it
shall be a great day at the time of my coming…11 And if you are faithful, behold, I am with you
until I come—12 And verily, verily, I say unto you, I
come quickly. I am your Lord and your Redeemer. Even so. Amen.
The Lord taught Orson that he will return again to the earth in
great glory. We are all to diligently
prepare for his return!
This revelation was given by the prophet Joseph to Orson Pratt
who was 19 years old at the time. He was
a new convert to the church. The Lord
revealed that Orson could become a
child of God through the Atonement of Christ.
When we enter the covenant of baptism, we take upon us the name of Jesus
Christ and thus become reborn into his family.
We have three fathers: Heavenly Father, who is the father of our
spirits; our mortal fathers who, with our mothers create an earthly body to
house our spirits; our covenant father, Jesus Christ, who is the father of our
rebirth
