    I wonder about the Lord purifying the sons of Levi. Part of me thinks He has begun that process and another part feels like that is something he will do openly after he comes. As I think about it, and considering what I know of devout modern Jews, I believe the process has started but…

    Yesterday only scratched the surface of the best of sources prophesying of Christ.

    The scriptures are replete with prophecies of Christ. There can be no doubt that the law of Moses was meant to point toward a Redeemer.

    All things and all people are subject unto Christ and eventually all will acknowledge that to be true.

    Christ came that he might glorify His Father and liberate the captive and reign over the people, especially the covenant people. Through His death he overcame death and liberated all mankind.
