The scriptures etc. in this lesson (the hearts of the children shall turn to the fathers) are very similar to the scriptures etc. in the lesson called the prisoners shall go free.
John the Baptist was called to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. I wonder if he felt he had succeeded in doing that. I also wonder how much preparation he accomplished when seen from the perspective of eternity.
It is comforting to think that the truths taught but not accepted in this life can ring true in the spirit world and aid in the conversion if those who were not prepared in this life to accept the gospel.
