God
Saved for 6,000 Years some Strong and Valiant Children for Final Inning President Ezra Taft Benson

 For
nearly six thousand years, God has held you in reserve to make your
appearance in the final days before the Second Coming of the Lord...God
has saved for the final inning some of His strongest and most valiant
children, who will help bear off the kingdom triumphantly. That is where
you come in, for you are the generation that must be prepared to meet
your God. In all ages prophets have looked down through the corridors
of time to our day. Billions of the deceased and those yet to be born
have their eyes on us. Make no mistake about it--you are a marked generation.
There has never been more expected of the faithful in such a short period
of time than there is of us. Never before on the face of this earth
have the forces of evil and the forces of good been so well organized.
Now is the great day of the devil's power. But now is also the great
day of the Lord's power, with the greatest number of priesthood holders
on the earth. (President Benson, In His Steps, 14 Stake Fireside, BYU, March 4, 1979) |
