Section 77

Joseph Smith was working on the translation of the Bible when he came up with several questions to ask the Lord regarding the Book of Revelation written by John.  Most of the questions are about the 2^nd Coming of Christ.  The first question was about the beasts that John saw.  In his answer the Lord made it clear that beast have spirits just like women and men have and will live on after this life with us in Paradise and Heaven.  This answer is especially sweet for those of us who have had beloved pets, but also applies to the amazing animals we love in this world (I’m thinking of Yellowstone cutthroat trout).

Section 76

 22 And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!

 23 For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—

 24 That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God.

I want you all to know that I have a knowledge, born of the Spirit, that Jesus Christ lives.  I have experienced His love and His light.  He is full of grace and truth.  I love Him.
