“All Thy Children Shall He Taught of the Lord”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Zion shall begin to be built before the time of Christ’s second coming in glory. The Saints who are gathered in all nations shall live for a season in love and peace (despite the degenerative condition of the world) prior to the Millennium.

Because of the goodness of those who have given themselves fully to the Lord and his cause, their meetings shall be pentecostal outpourings: the Spirit of God shall truly burn like a fire in their hearts. Prophecy and revelation and healings and angelic ministrations shall abound, for the faith of the Saints shall have rent the damning veil of unbelief and opened the heavens to the gifts and wonders enjoyed by the former-day Saints.

And these spiritual experiences shall be multiplied immeasurably after the glorious return of the Master. When wickedness and enmity shall have been removed from this earth, there will be no end to the truths to be taught the miracles to be performed, the outpourings to be enjoyed.

Truly in that day “all thy children shall be taught of the Lord.” All men and women who choose to do so shall grow in spiritual graces to the point where they are prepared to inherit that glory and power which is enjoyed by God their Father. in that day “the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (2 Nephi 21:9; Isaiah 11:9).
