Jacob Explains the Atonement, Resurrection and Judgment

Part of: Jacob’s Sermon

• Jacob quotes Isaiah’s words so his people can have hope, since they are part of the house of Israel.
• Jacob acknowledges many people’s desires to know the future; he prophesies that Jesus Christ will come to those in Jerusalem and die for humanity.
• Just as death is a part of God’s plan, there is an opposing force: resurrection.
• The resurrection overcomes the fall of mankind and is only made possible through an infinite atonement.
• If there were not a resurrection, mankind would become angels to the devil.
• Jacob disambiguates temporal death and spiritual death.
• The resurrection produce an incorruptible body with perfect knowledge.
• Following the resurrection comes the judgment, were mankind can no longer shift between conditions of cleanliness and filthiness.
