THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM by Elder Bruce R. McConkie

Today I will discuss how they are used the

keys of the kingdom, and where they came from,

who currently owns them and what their future.

The sacred story begins in the spring of 1829, and

memorable place in the middle of May. The prophet

the Lord is in the twenty-fourth year of his

mortal existence, and dictated to his scribe scripture. The

mentioned the sacred word baptism, without which no man

can see the kingdom of heaven does not even enter it.

The Spirit of the Lord rests upon the seer and his scribe.

Want baptism with the same anxiety that the hungry

forages. Divine Providence guides them to a place

held on the banks of the Susquehanna River near Harmony,

Pennsylvania. They pour their soul to God, the same who had

sent his Son, without blemish, to be baptized to serve

example to all men.

Then the miracle takes place. The heavens open, and a

angel descends from the celestial heights to communicate with their

fellow servants on earth. This is John the Baptist, a longer be

risen, to which Herod had beheaded in 1800

years ago in the fetid precincts of the prison.

This is the same John who, being the only child of a priest

Zechariah and Elizabeth, had been ordered by an angel to

early age of eight days to overthrow the kingdom of the Jews.

John himself who turned Jews in Bethabara

seeking the cleansing power of baptism. It was then that the

beloved Baptist to fulfill all righteousness, plunged the

the Son of God in the murky waters of a river of Palestine.

The same John who saw the heavens opened and the Holy Spirit

down with the serenity of a dove and rest on the

characters about which the divine voice said below

"This is my beloved Son in whom I have pleasure." (Matthew

3:17).

With the glory of a resurrected, and in the name of the Messiah

for which he had experienced the death of a martyr gives his

mortal friends Aaronic Priesthood and the keys to the

ministering of angels and of baptism by immersion for the

referral sins. (D & C 13).

For the first time in nearly 1,700 years, mortals, acting

in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ can minister for

men for their salvation. The time is approaching when the

dismal and gloomy darkness to give way to rip the light

heavenly light will come to our planet immersed in

ignorance.

But this is just the beginning of the grand design. Other

messengers descend from the realms of light and glory. Peter

James and John, who at the time held the priesthood and

keys to chairing the earthly kingdom,

visit to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery.

These apostles of old, when mortals were

friends and confidants of the Lord Jesus Christ, these spirits

chosen who ate and drank with him after he rose

from the dead, the real witnesses who died that

all may live, are doing something wonderful.

gives the new prophet and accompanying the

priesthood after the Order of the Son of God, who remains

as a priest forever. The Melchizedek Priesthood

is the highest order and most sacred that can be granted to

fatal now or in the future. Includes, and always included,

power and authority of the sacred ministry.

Along with him, the brave death, very soon,

divine command, reorganized the church and kingdom of God in

land, certain keys are of paramount importance. Are

keys of the kingdom through which they obtain the power of

organize, chair, governing and regulating land, which is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

also receive the keys of the dispensation of

fullness of time, the glorious era of restoration and

renewal, which means to bring God everything

in Christ, the age of revelation, and gifts, and miracles,

in which he carried out the restoration of all things,

which God hath spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been

since ancient times. (D & C 27:12-13, 81:2).

Having been commissioned in this way, and being

holders gospel of salvation, can establish

again the kingdom of God on earth and preach again

gospel around the world and all peoples. The kingdom

set on April 6, 1830, and from that moment all

faithful members of the Church have dedicated their time, talents and

means for the truth to the other children of our Father

Heaven.

But even that's not all. Other keys were delivered. In

a wonderful day in April 1836, came Moses, Elijah and

Elijah, each bringing their respective

dispensing keys and the power they had exercised when

fatal. On a day similar to those of a thousand other wonderful

eight years earlier at the Mount of Transfiguration.

(Matthew 17:1-13).

then, in the snowy peaks of a mountain, after

that the Father had spoken from the cloud to pass that Moses and

Elijah, both taken to heaven without tasting death, returned in

their physical bodies, a temple not made hands, and

awarded to Peter, James and John the keys and powers

had at that time.

And in the same way, those illustrious characters return to

land these days. This time, built a temple the

tithes and sacrifices of the saints, these same prophets of

old minister and now as resurrected beings

glorified, restore the keys and powers they possessed.

Moses, who invested in the majesty of the priesthood of

Melchizedek captive out of Egypt to Israel to take him

promised Palestine, brings back those same keys. These keys allow mortals to collect the lost sheep of

Israel

found in Egypt in the world and put them into

promised Zion, where the scales of darkness slave

fall from his eyes. These keys are commissioned to those who possess

to pick up throughout Israel, including the ten tribes,

all nations of the earth, and, as I said the word

prophetic, take them one by one and two at the mountains

's house Lord, to be endowed with power from

high.

Elijah again brought the gospel of Abraham, the great convention

Abrahamic by which the faithful receive promises of

posterity eternal promises that through marriage

his posterity eternal heaven will be as numerous as the sands

the beach and the stars of heaven. Elijah gives the promise, the

it received

in ancient times by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,

that modern man and his descendants all

generations are blessed.

And now we offer the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and

Jacob to all who wish to receive them.

Elijah brought back the keys of power

sealing, the authority that allows men to live

now, like Peter in the old , seal on earth

and their deeds are sealed forever in heaven. (D &

C 110:11-16).

With the coming of Elijah the Prophet baptisms

performed on earth are valid for eternity.

literally allow us to be members of the earthly kingdom, the

which is the Church, and also belong to the celestial kingdom is the

divine glory where God and Christ dwell .

And then, over time, there will be "a union

eternal complete and perfect, and a chain of

dispensations, keys, powers and glories ... since the days of

Adam to the present time. "(D & C 128:18).

In the meridian of time, Jesus Christ commanded the Twelve

on the shores of Capernaum and gave them the keys to the kingdom to Peter,

James and John on the holy mountain, and later gave these

same keys to all the apostles. (Matthew 18:18). In our dispensation, the Melchizedek Priesthood

restored in 1829, was ordered some men to the Holy

Apostolate in February 1835, several keys were in

different

moments, notably the April 3, 1836, and this

continued until all the rivers of the past led to the

ocean the present and the mortal man possessed all the keys and

powers that were granted to men in the past,

from Adam to the present.

As a highlight, all the keys of the kingdom will give

the Twelve in the winter of 1844. Then they get what

revelations called the fullness of the priesthood, along with

the full power to confer eternal men.

After

they are properly invested and allowed, the

Prophet tells Twelve

"I have sealed upon your heads all the keys of the kingdom.

I seal upon you every key, power and principle that

I have found heaven. Now, no matter where I go or what

I can do, the kingdom rests on you. But

Apostles of the Lamb of God, my brothers, on your

shoulders the kingdom rests, and now you have to join your

shoulders and give momentum. If you do not be condemned. "

(Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, sel. By G. Homer Durham,

Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1946, pág.72).

And so was fulfilled the word of God in which the

Lord had earlier told the Twelve

"For you, the Twelve, and those of First

Presidency, who are appointed with you to be

your directors and officers have been given the power of this

priesthood, for the last days and the last time in

the

which holds the dispensation of the fullness of

times.

"power you have, together with all those who have

received a dispensation at any time, from the

beginning of creation;

For, verily, I say, the keys of the dispensation,

which you received, have fallen from their parents, and

finally have been sent from heaven to you. "(D & C 112:30-32). And so, also established the system of the Lord

for succession to the presidency. The Keys of the Kingdom of God,

the rights and powers of the presidency through eternal

which governs the earthly kingdom, which first revealed

from heaven given by the spirit of revelation to each

man who is ordained Apostle while section to be

member of the Twelve.

But since the keys they give you the right to

chair can only be exercised in its fullness a man at a time.

This person is always the senior Apostle, the

Apostle president, the presiding high priest, Elder

president. Only he has the authority to direct

other guide, all are committed to follow.

Therefore, although each of the Twelve has the

keys, the exercise only to a certain limit, until one reaches

be to seniority, making it the Lord's Anointed

on Earth.

In conclusion, then, when Joseph Smith, in the hands of

evil men and murderers, exhale the last breath, Brigham

Young, being the most senior Apostle the kingdom

land automatically goes to preside.

The next breath of Brigham Young is the fan of

to the lungs of the pre-anointed servant

Lord. Do not spend more time than the blink of an eye in

that the Church is no presiding officer.

When President Kimball is called to inform their

work as large and successful ministry, the keys will

other Apostle instantly that the Lord has chosen. And

so divine succession system will continue to

coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the clouds of glory to reign

personally upon the earth.

We need not fear the future. This is the work of God;

is his kingdom, and government affairs at will.

Keys, having been given to man on earth,

are now in the hands of those He has chosen.

As I know that God lives and that Jesus Christ is true, and

the truth will prevail, I testify that this work will roll fill hastaque the whole earth, and until the knowledge of God

cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.

I give this testimony in my behalf and on behalf of all

the faithful elders of the kingdom, and on behalf of all holy

sisters who remain at his side so bravely, and

everything I do in the sacred name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Faith, Family, Facts, and Fruits

M. Elder Russell Ballard the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Brothers and sisters, since 1997, the sesquicentennial of the arrival of the pioneers, has been a dramatic increase in inquiries about the Church worldwide. Causing increasing concern is that our rapid growth, some events like the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and the prominence of many of our members in their respective professions. I'm sure
these investigations not only come to the Church but also to you, the members, and is not easy to explain something as vast as our Church or as wonderful as the restored gospel to people who know little or nothing about us. Even questions about a particular aspect can be difficult to answer because each one seems to be connected with others. The most common request we hear is a fairly simple, something like: "Tell me a little about their religion." In this case, the key lies in the expression a bit. We ask: "Tell me everything you know and send me someone to tell me anything else."
Of course, we accept welcomed the interest of the people, and there will be many people who want to be taught more about our doctrines and beliefs. That's why we have more than 53,000 full-time missionaries serving around the world at their own expense.
But we must remember that there is a difference between the interest and curiosity. Sometimes people just want to know what the Church who feel that general curiosity deserve clear and accurate information coming directly from us, the members, so they do not have to rely on incomplete answers, half true or false statements coming from the media or other external sources. The many misunderstandings and false information that is on the Church are, to some extent, our fault for not clearly explain who we are and what we believe.
The Public Affairs Committee, on which I serve, has concluded that it is extremely important to give clear and simple explanations to present the Church as it is today to those who are curious about the basics of the Church . I want to talk to some of the things that have proved useful. Maybe you want to prepare their own lists of topics to help them explain what they believe their friends and acquaintances of other faiths. Perhaps it will be useful, as it is for me to have prepared a page with some aspects of the Church as it is today, and give it along with a copy of the Articles of Faith
Four areas currently contribute to a person to obtain a basic understanding of the Church. Under each of the four titles are simple explanations that I have been helpful, try to imagine that the person who read them do not know practically nothing about us. The four main themes to be addressed relate to the facts, faith, family and the fruits of the restored gospel.

Some facts are the facts:
• First, "Mormon" is a nickname for The Church of Jesus Christ of Saints Latter Days. Often people refer to members as "Mormons" or "Latter Days": The word "holy" means "member."
• Second, the Church was restored in 1830 in upstate New York with Joseph Smith as its first prophet and president. Currently, its headquarters are in Salt Lake City, and President Gordon B. Hinckley is a prophet today.
• Third, there are currently more than 13 million members in 176 countries and territories, of which about six million are in the U.S., so we are in fourth place among the major Christian denominations in this country. As one of the Christian religions fastest growing in the world, every business day ended a chapel. Members pay a tithe, which is ten percent of their income, which makes possible the construction mentioned and other programs.
• Fourth, local congregations are led by volunteer members who work without pay. Both men and women serving in leadership positions assigned to them.
• And fifth, Mormons are well represented in politics and government. (For example, in America there are sixteen members in Congress from both political parties). Members also occupy high positions of trust throughout the world on business, medicine, law, education, media, sport and entertainment. Faith

People should also know something of our faith as committed Christians with strong traditional values. Along with the Articles of Faith we must emphasize the following:
• We believe in the eternal nature of the soul, that God is the Father of our spirits and we can return to Him after death.
• We believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior and try to model our lives after His example and His teachings. We commemorate Christ's atoning sacrifice in our Sunday services of worship, similar to taking communion in other churches. We accept as fellow Christians all who believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of all mankind. Many Christians do not understand that we have much in common with them, Joseph Smith taught that Jesus Christ is the center of our beliefs, and everything else revolves around him (see Elders' Journal, July 1838, p. 44.). Our church is called "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
• We believe the original church that Jesus established was lost and has been restored today. The priesthood, or authority given to man to act on behalf of God, with apostles and a prophet to lead us, has been restored, as well as all the ordinances necessary for salvation.
• We believe in the Holy Bible, Old and New Testament, and we use it.
• We believe in the Book of Mormon and other books of scripture which support and authenticate the Bible and testify of the ministry and divinity of Christ and the continuing revelation of God to man. In truth, the Book of Mormon is "Another Testament of Jesus Christ." Family

next thing is good that people know is how are family-centered our theology and our way of life. And in this too, simple explanations are useful for that is not well informed but curious to know what importance we place on family.
• Mormons put a powerful emphasis on the fact that the family is the basic unit of the Church and society. We have a deep commitment to marriage, which is defined as a union between a man and a woman. Polygamy was practiced on a limited basis during the early days of the pioneers of the Church, was discontinued in 1890, one hundred and seventeen years ago.
• Families and individuals, whether or not our religion, can attend Sunday services in our chapels. They worship the Lord together, instructing one another in the Scriptures.
• Families of Latter-day Saints are encouraged to make "family home evening" once a week, usually on Monday night. This gives parents a regular time and planned to teach values \u200b\u200bto their children and have fun with them. We encourage those who are not of our religion to adopt this practice with his own family.
• The Church has auxiliary programs for women, youth and children, which support the family. These programs provide such things as religious instruction, opportunities to perform Christian service, sports, theater, music and scouting.
• It also puts much emphasis on other members of the family genealogy and personal family history, providing young and old a stronger sense of their roots, their identity and bonding. The highest and most sacred ordinances of our faith relate to family members, both living and dead, and some are performed in our temples.

Fruits Now, even when someone begins to understand some facts about us and get to know us better by our faith and the importance we place on family, Salvador was the one who said "by their fruits" (Matthew 7:20, emphasis added). A religion, or lifestyle, must be judged according to the fruits, or results that occur. Here are some examples based on the statistics of the United States of America, which would be similar throughout the world among faithful Mormons (we refer to those who regularly attend meetings of the church and the temple):
• One of these fruits is a longer life. Studies indicate that active Mormons in religion are healthier and therefore live longer than the national average. In 1833 the Lord revealed to Joseph Smith the Word of Wisdom, which is a way of life to enjoy a long and healthy life.
• Second, those who marry in the temple and continue to attend it regularly have a divorce rate that is far below the national and global.
• Third, we achieve an educational level higher than the national average.
• Fourth, over 70,000 members volunteer and pay their expenses to serve for a period of eighteen to twenty four months in humanitarian efforts, Church assignments and full-time missions all over the world.
• And fifth, we place strong emphasis on self-sufficiency and an impeccable work ethic. We encourage active participation in our respective communities and serve others. The Church continues to donate substantial sums of money as well as goods and services to humanitarian causes of all the earth, including countless hours of labor donated by members to assist in the cleaning and disaster relief.
Brothers and sisters, in today's hectic world, I've noticed that most people do not read or is interested in more than a few important facts at a time. Whatever you decide to use to inform their friends and acquaintances about the Church, write it down, make sure it is accurate and do it simple and short.
The growing prominence of the Church and the growing number of inquiries from others present us with great opportunities to build bridges, make friends and accurate information. But if you let other people define who we are and what we believe instead of explaining ourselves, it may also show a greater chance of misunderstanding and sometimes prejudice.
usually no problem with those who know our members personally, but there are millions and millions of people who do not know anyone of our religion. I hope those who know little of the church seek to know more about us, I hope to try to meet our members instead of judging by false information received from those who know nothing and, in some cases, those who deliberately mislead or defame.
You, the members can help by establishing relationships and making known to others the basic information found in the Articles of Faith, along with elements such as facts, faith, family and the fruits of the Gospel.
We must also remember that sometimes the best way to respond to people's interest may be the way we live in that reflects the joy of the gospel in our lives, we treat others and to sincerely follow the teachings of Christ.
For those who want to know something more than the few points I have presented, you can call missionaries to teach them the doctrine of chapter three of Preach My Gospel. The missionaries know how to better answer questions and lead them to conversion and baptism.
This is the time that we all share our beliefs and make other people know who we are. Prepare some simple points as I have shared with you today, and help those who are curious to know something about the Church and feel then the desire to know more about the Restoration of the Gospel.
Brothers and sisters, never cease to express his testimony with sincerity and love. The power of personal testimony can not be denied and sometimes wakes up in other people's interest to know more. I know this is true, and leave you my unwavering testimony that I know The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true and I can testify that, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
