The Latter Day Saints Millennial Star Vol Xxxv PDF Download

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 77: December 30, 1915 Such is the Word of the Lord, in all ages, regarding the king dom of God which will be established at the second coming of the Son of Man. It tells us that it will be a kingdom in which peace, founded upon righteousness, will prevail. There will be peace and joy in the hearts of men, instead of stormy passions, doubt, anxiety, and despair; there will be peace between neighbors, and in all industrial fields, instead of rivalry, envy, strikes and lock outs; there will be peace in the government, because party strife will be a thing of the past; there will be international peace, instead of war and bloodshed, because perfect justice will be the basis of all international relations. Many people refuse to believe the word of God on this subject. Wars, they say, have always been and always will be. They say they believe God will save His children and transfer them to the realms of the glorified, where there shall be no more strife, and no suffering of any kind, but they refuse to believe that God can save and redeem His children on this earth. They pray for the coming of the kingdom in which His will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven, but they do not believe that the prayer can be realized on earth. And yet, what God has spoken has never failed. His promises, as far as they have become due, have been kept to the very letter, and those that are still reserved for the future will be kept with equal faithfulness. We have, as Peter says, the word of prophecy more sure even than the word of history which has been transmitted to us by the eye-witnesses of the power and majesty of our Lord while in the flesh (ii. Peter 1: 15 The kingdom of righteousness and peace will be established in the fulness of time, according to the pro phetic word, and the immediate preparations for it have been going on for some time. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been raised up in the valleys of the mountains. As we read in Isaiah, Zion that bringeth good tidings, or, rather, he that bringeth good tidings to Zion, has appeared in the high mountains; he that bringeth good tidings to Jerusalem has lifted up his voice with strength and proclaimed the coming of the Lord (isa. 40: the mighty angel with the little book Open has appeared and solemnly declared that there shall be time, or delay, no longer, but that the hour has come for the completion of God's plan of redemption (rev. 10: 1 And, in accordance with these declara tions the political structures of the world are to-day shaking and trembling, for the ground is to be cleared for the coming of the Lord of lords, the King of kings.
