“Remember the New Covenant, Even the Book of Mormon” D&C 16-23
Keywords
Book of Mormon, new covenant, Joseph Smith’s persecution
Abstract
The coming forth of the Book of Mormon in the latter days is a fulfillment of the ancient promises that the Lord would send forth his truth across the earth. Its story is one of the most marvelous to be told involving both miracles and obstacles. The Book of Mormon now stands as a token of the new covenant that the Lord has established upon the earth in these latter days.
The years following the first vision (1820-1823), the teenage Joseph Smith returned to the normal routine of life, but not without trouble. We learn from the Prophet’s own record that along with unrelenting persecution he often fell into foibles of human nature.
