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.
