LDS D&C 76 - Doctrine and Covenants Section 76 - www.publishpeace.org

This is section 76 of the Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (also known as the Mormon Church). For more information visit http://scriptures.lds.org/. A vision given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, February 16, 1832. HC 1: 245252. Prefacing his record of this vision the Prophet wrote: Upon my return from Amherst conference, I resumed the translation of the Scriptures. From sundry revelations which had been received, it was apparent that many important points touching the salvation of man had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled. It appeared self-evident from what truths were left, that if God rewarded every one according to the deeds done in the body, the term Heaven, as intended for the Saints eternal home, must include more kingdoms than one. Accordingly, while translating St. Johns Gospel, myself and Elder Rigdon saw the following vision. It was after the Prophet had translated John 5: 29 that this vision was given. 14, The Lord is God; 510, Mysteries of the kingdom will be revealed to all the faithful; 1117, All shall come forth in the resurrection of the just or the unjust; 1824, Inhabitants of many worlds are begotten sons and daughters unto God through the atonement of Jesus Christ; 2529, An angel of God fell and became the devil; 3049, Sons of perdition suffer eternal damnation; all others gain some degree of salvation; 5070, The glory and reward of exalted beings in the celestial kingdom; 7180, Those who shall inherit the terrestrial kingdom; 81113, Status of those in the telestial, terrestrial, and celestial glories; 114119, All the faithful may see the vision of the degrees of glory.
