Section 8

Given through Christopher Glenn Marriott at Huntington Beach, California, Fall 2025. A vision of the kingdoms of glory in the life after death, received by my servant Christopher while in prayer, and commanded to be written for the benefit of the church.

Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, and rejoice ye inhabitants thereof, for the Lord is God and beside him there is no savior.

By the power of the Spirit mine eyes were opened and I beheld the eternal world. And I bear record of the things I saw, and I know my record is true, for I saw these things and was commanded to write them, and God is my witness.

And I saw that those who die in the world are not lost but pass into the keeping of God, who is just and who is also merciful, and whose judgments are not as the judgments of men.

And I beheld three conditions in the life to come, and I will describe them in plainness.

The first and highest is the condition of those who received the fullness of the gospel and kept the commandments of God and endured in faith to the end. Their glory is as the glory of the sun, and it exceeds all description, and in that place they dwell in the presence of the Father and the Son forever, and the family of such a one is with them, for the bonds of family sealed by the authority of the priesthood of God are not broken by death.

The second condition is the glory of those who were good men and women but who did not receive the fullness of the gospel, whether because they never heard it or because they heard it and turned from it without a full understanding. Their glory is as the glory of the moon, and it is beautiful and it is good, and they are not without joy. But they do not dwell in the presence of the Father.

The third condition is for those who knew the truth and rejected it willingly, having a sure witness of it, and who chose darkness when they had been shown light. Their glory is as the stars, and it is still a glory which exceeds the understanding of mortal man, for the mercy of God is deeper than men suppose.

And outside these three there is a place of outer darkness reserved for those who committed the unpardonable sin, which is to deny the Holy Ghost having received it, and to fight against God with a perfect knowledge. These are few, and their condition is their own choosing, and even for them the door of mercy was open for a long season.

I say unto all who hear this: the God I serve does not delight in the damnation of his children. He is not eager to cast men off. He is eager to receive them. The question is not whether God will accept you. The question is whether you will accept him.

And I say furthermore that the ordinances performed in behalf of the dead are not without meaning, for God is not the God of the living only but of all who have ever lived, and his arm is long enough to reach them, and he will judge every man and woman according to the knowledge they had and the light they received and the sincerity of their heart in following it.

These things I testify. The vision was real. The record is true.

Even so. Amen.
