Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

The Savior’s promise to abide in us is true and available to every covenant-keeping member of His restored Church.

By Elder Alan R. Walker

Of the Seventy

The Lord declared that His people would be a peculiar treasure unto Him if they would obey His voice and keep His covenant.

Jeremiah, speaking for Judah, laments the calamity but trusts in the Lord and prays for deliverance.

Jeremiah laments the miserable condition of Jerusalem—Jerusalem herself complains of her deep sorrow.

Jerusalem is taken, and the people are taken captive—Jeremiah and Ebed-melech, the Ethiopian, are preserved.

The rulers cast Jeremiah into a muddy dungeon—He is freed by Ebed-melech, an Ethiopian, and put in the court of the prison—Jeremiah counsels Zedekiah concerning the war.

Jeremiah prophesies that Egypt will not save Judah from Babylon—He is cast into a dungeon—Zedekiah transfers him to the court of the prison.

Baruch writes the prophecies of Jeremiah and reads them in the house of the Lord—Jehoiakim, the king, burns the book, and judgment comes upon him—Jeremiah dictates the prophecies again and adds many more.

Judah and Israel will be gathered—The Branch of Righteousness (the Messiah) is promised—The Seed of David (the Messiah) will reign forever.
