In Joseph Smith’s day
there was a religious group called the “Shakers.” They believed that Christ had already come
back to the earth in the form of a woman named Ann Lee. Although a rather progressive notion, many
years before its time, nevertheless, the Lord made it very clear that he had
not changed himself into a woman! Joseph
sent three missionaries to set the record straight and preach repentance.
5 Thus saith
the Lord; for I am God, and have sent mine Only Begotten Son into
the world for the redemption of the world, and have decreed that he
that receiveth him shall be saved, and he that receiveth him not shall be damned—
6 And they have done unto the Son of Man even as they
listed; and he has taken his power on the right hand of his glory,
and now reigneth in the heavens, and will reign till he descends on the earth
to put all enemies under his feet, which time is nigh at hand—
7 I, the Lord God, have spoken it; but the hour and the day no
man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor shall they know until he comes.
