18
I might have rendered a plainer translation to this, but it is sufficiently plain to suit my purpose as it stands. It is sufficient to know, in this case, that the earth will be smitten with a curse unless there is a welding link of some kind or other between the fathers and the children, upon some subject or other—and behold what is that subject? It is the baptism for the dead. For
we without them cannot be made perfect; neither can they without us be
made perfect. Neither can they nor we be made perfect without those who
have died in the gospel also; for it is necessary in the ushering in of the dispensation of the fulness of times, which dispensation is
now beginning to usher in, that a whole and complete and perfect union,
and welding together of dispensations, and keys, and powers, and
glories should take place, and be revealed from the days of Adam even to
the present time. And not only this, but those things which never have
been revealed from the foundation of the world, but have been kept hid
from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed unto babes and sucklings in
this, the dispensation of the fulness of times.
