An Introduction to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Produktbeschreibung

No other Christian denomination makes the bold claims made by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-that resurrected apostles of Jesus visited Joseph Smith and conferred their apostolic authority upon him; that a resurrected, ancient American prophet named Moroni visited Joseph Smith and delivered a volume of ancient scripture to him; that God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ, appeared to Joseph Smith; and that through the prophet Joseph Smith, God has now set up His kingdom on the earth. I Will Send My Messenger presents a lucid and forthright introduction to Mormonism, relating how the rise of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the fulfillment of Malachi's prophecy that God would send his messenger to the earth in the last days to prepare the world for the Lord's second coming. Many of the prophets foretold of this latter-day messenger and of the great latter-day restoration that God's messengers would bring to pass. The Lord Jesus Christ spoke of it; so did the apostles, Peter, Paul and John; so did the prophets Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and Joel. Mormonism is in full harmony with the teachings of the Bible-despite the claims of its outspoken critics-and the world is invited to learn the truth before condemning the faith. The testimony of Joseph Smith and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that Jesus is the Savior of the world and that God speaks from heaven to give messages to humankind today-messages whose importance to all the world is unsurpassed.
