SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Matthew 26:26-29 |
|
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom. |

QUOTE OF THE DAY John Taylor |
|
“Sacrifices, which were offered up from the days of Adam … , were [representative] of the great expiatory sacrifice which He was to make by the sacrifice of Himself. They were so many types, shadows and forms of which He was the great prototype —the substance, the reality prefigured and foreshadowed by the other sacrifices which had been offered up from the beginning” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor, p. 55).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY October 31, 2020 |
|
1838 - The militia-mob outnumbered the defenders of Far West five-to-one. During the night, the families had gathered their belongings fearing a terrible battle on this day. About eight o’clock, the militia sent a flag of truce and Colonel George Hinkle of the Far West Militia went out to meet it. Colonel Hinkle made a secret truce with them to turn the Prophet Joseph and other Church leaders over to them. General Clark and his men arrived at Far West and joined General Lucas’s army. The militia-mob now numbered between 3500-4000 men surrounding the City of Far West. Towards evening, Colonel Hinkle requested the Prophet Joseph to accompany him to meet with the officers of the militia to work out a truce. The Prophet Joseph, along with Sidney Rigdon, Parley P. Pratt, and others, then accompanied Colonel Hinkle to the camp of the militia. Upon arriving, they were put in chains and arrested as prisoners of war. The men were then insulted, tormented, and threatened by men in the militia-mob. The Prophet records that, “In the evening we had to lie down on the cold ground, surrounded by a strong guard, who were only kept back by the power of God from depriving us of life” (History of the Church, 3:190).
