QUOTE OF THE DAY
John Taylor

"Thy kingdom come. What kingdom? What is the meaning of 'thy kingdom come'? It means the rule of God. It means the law of God. It means the government of God. It means the people who have listened to and who are willing to listen to and observe the commands of Jehovah. And it means that there is a God who is willing to guide and direct and sustain his people." (Teaching of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor, p.223-225.

BOOK: Studies in the Book of Mormon: Chapter 17: What is a Seer?

In that respect, Alma, like the Old Testament seers, became a "great benefit to his fellow beings," as many lives were spared as a result (Mosiah 8:18). Earlier, King Mosiah had conferred upon Alma the Urim and Thummim together with the Nephite and Jaredite records (Mosiah 28:10-20).
