INTRODUCTION

In the Spring of 1820 a young boy found the courage to ask God for an answer, and the faith to expect a reply. At that time the prayers of millions of people – who were pleading for an end to the dark age of ignorance that covered the earth – were heard. The long absent light of revelation burst forth from heaven again, to restore the truths to mankind that they had lost over a thousand years.

That youth became a man – a Prophet whom the Lord entrusted with a great task: to bring forth the word of God and the authority needed to administer the ordinances necessary for our salvation to a world whose traditions fought against such ideas, and which would rather persecute than listen. Only a few recognised the truth and were willing to sacrifice all they had for it, and finally the same gospel taught by Jesus the Christ was established on the earth, never to be changed or removed, but to stand forever as the entrance into God’s heavenly kingdom.

Almost two centuries have passed since the momentous occasion when heaven first touched earth, heralding the beginning of a new dispensation. If the Prophet who began that great work were to return now, he would find the world a very different place. We now take for granted luxuries the likes of which our ancestors could only dream of, and yet the same social problems of crime and poverty still plague us.

Sadly those who have sought to set up God’s kingdom on earth have often been influenced by the downward trends of the world. Although the number of members of God’s Church have increased dramatically since its inception, only a small percentage are willing to live all of the gospel. The majority are fed on a ‘milk’ which satisfies their spiritual appetites. However, for some a diet of ‘milk’ will be inadequate, and they will desire to learn of the meatier doctrines and be willing to put forth the effort to live up to that greater knowledge. This periodical has been produced for that purpose.
