Deuteronomy
32:8-- Elder Bruce R. McConkie said: "The race and nation in which
men are born in this world is a direct result of their pre-existent
life. All the spirit hosts of heaven deemed worthy to receive mortal
bodies were foreordained to pass through this earthly probation in the
particular race and nation suited to their needs, circumstances, and
talents. When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance,
when he separated the sons of Adam, Moses said with reference to pre-existence,
'he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children
of Israel.'"(Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p. 616) |
