Chapter 15


We live in a wonderful time in the earth’s history. Yet, there are many who “call evil good, and good evil.”  Isaiah describes a day of great innovation and invention.  His description of planes and railroads in vs. 28-29 is classic: “Whose arrows shall be sharp and all their bows bent, and their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind, their roaring like a lion.  They shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry away safe, and none shall deliver.”  Can you see the metal wheels of the railroad engines sparking down the tracks?  Can you see the great passenger airplanes that eat up the passengers and then deliver them safely to their destinations?  All of these latter-day inventions came forth after the restoration of the gospel and establishment of Christ’s church again upon the earth.  Before 1830 transportation by horse or boat had been the same for thousands of years.  With the “ensign to the nations,” that is the Book of Mormon and the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Lord has blessed the earth with the means to get the message to all of the world.
