SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Joseph Smith - History 1:25 |
|
So it was with me. I had actually seen a light, and in the midst of that light I saw two Personages, and they did in reality speak to me; and though I was hated and persecuted for saying that I had seen a vision, yet it was true; and while they were persecuting me, reviling me, and speaking all manner of evil against me falsely for so saying, I was led to say in my heart: Why persecute me for telling the truth? I have actually seen a vision; and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? For I had seen a vision; I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it, neither dared I do it; at least I knew that by so doing I would offend God, and come under condemnation.

QUOTE OF THE DAY David O. McKay |
|
“It is easy enough to do right when in good company, but it is not easy to defend the right when the majority of the crowd are opposing it; and yet, that is the time to show true courage. The Prophet Joseph, for example, was reviled and persecuted for saying that he had received a vision, but he always remained true to his testimony” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: David O. McKay, p.176).

1834 - Zion’s Camp is nearing the Ohio-Indiana state border. While traveling on this date at about 9:00 am, the Prophet said he felt “much depressed in spirit” and that “there had been a great deal of bloodshed in that place.” They then came upon a large mound sixty feet high containing human bones, now part of a farm and covered with apple trees.
