“The Way is Prepared… from the Foundation of the World”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
The gospel of God was taught to the children of the Father before the foundations of this earth were laid. In that pristine existence Jehovah became the chief advocate of the Father’s plan of salvation (Moses 4:2). Then it was that the Beloved Son became the “Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8), and the gospel plan was put into effect before mankind entered mortality.
