| The Lamb of God Christ's Image -By Heinrich Hofmann |
The Words of an Angel Who Represents the Lord Jesus Christ, (Between 600 and 592 B.C.) Book of Mormon, 1Nephi 14: 7 For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God, that I will work a great and a marvelous work among the children of men; a work which shall be everlasting, either on the one hand or on the other—either to the convincing of them unto peace and life eternal, or unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts and the blindness of their minds unto their being brought down into captivity, and also into destruction, both temporally and spiritually, according to the captivity of the devil, of which I have spoken.
8 And it came to pass that when the angel had spoken these words, he said unto me (Nephi, son of Lehi) : Rememberest thou the covenants of the Father unto the house of Israel? I said unto him, Yea.
9 And it came to pass that he said unto me: Look, and behold that great and abominable church, which is the mother of abominations, whose founder is the devil.
10 And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.
11 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the whore of all the earth, and she sat upon many waters; and she had dominion over all the earth, among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people.
12 And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were few, because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw.
13 And it came to pass that I beheld that the great mother of abominations did gather together multitudes upon the face of all the earth, among all the nations of the Gentiles, to fight against the Lamb of God.
14 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory.
Here is an article from the LDS Church News, Published June 4, 2011. You will read in this article an example of how the Church of the Lamb of God mentioned in verse 14 above is "armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory."

Now I provide another LDS Church News article. This one is on the subject of the 75th Anniversary of the Welfare Program of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is through that program that assistance is now being provided throughout the entire world. This article provides evidence that this work of providing for the poor and needy has built up its strength to serve the needy throughout the world by a steadily growing and improving program throughout the past seventy-five years. Through this the aforementioned church is living up to what the angel, by the power of the Spirit of Prophecy and Revelation we reviewed rather intensely in the just previous set of three posts of mine: 42u, 42v and 42w. would expect of the Church of the Lamb of God.

I end this post by inviting you to click on the following link. It is a very touching account written by a young lady who was involved in assisting in the clean-up work which was conducted by the LDS Church after a disaster in the State of Alabama (U.S.A.) recently:
