- 17 And again, in connection with this quotation I will give you a quotation from one of the prophets, who had his eye fixed on the restoration of the priesthood, the glories to be revealed in the last days, and in an especial manner this most glorious of all subjects belonging to the everlasting gospel, namely, the baptism for the dead; for Malachi says, last chapter, verses 5th and 6th: Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.• • •24 Behold, the great day of the Lord is at hand; and who can abide the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appeareth?

Let us, therefore, as a church and a people, and as Latter-day Saints, offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness; and let us present in his holy temple, when it is finished, a book containing the records of our dead, which shall be worthy of all acceptation.
- 31 And the chosen messengers went forth to declare the acceptable day of the Lord and proclaim liberty to the captives who were bound, even unto all who would repent of their sins and receive the gospel.• • •

"The day of the Lord"

At His coming, the righteous will be taken by angels to meet Jesus in the air. The wicked will be left to experience the day of the Lord (Mat. 24:37-39). Like Noah, overcomers will be delivered before the wrath is poured out. Make no mistake, there is only one coming of the Son of Man. The only day the Son of Man is revealed is after the opening of the 6th seal when He comes in the glory of His Father (Luke 17:30, Mat. 16:27; 24:29-31; 25:31). The Son will gather His elect before the earth burns up. Every Christian needs to understand the events warning His coming is near (Mat. 24:33). We need to be ready to overcome if it means losing our lives for Jesus (Rev. 12:11).
