While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour of their adeliverance• from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring bliberty to the ccaptives• who had been faithful;
And there he apreached• to them the everlasting bgospel, the doctrine of the cresurrection• and the redemption of mankind from the dfall, and from individual sins on conditions of erepentance.
But unto the awicked• he did not go, and among the ungodly and the unrepentant who had bdefiled• themselves while in the flesh, his voice was not raised;
Neither did the arebellious• who rejected the btestimonies• and the warnings of the ancient cprophets behold his dpresence•, nor look upon his face.
Where these were, adarkness reigned, but among the righteous there was bpeace;
And the saints rejoiced in their aredemption•, and bowed the bknee• and acknowledged the Son of God as their Redeemer and Deliverer from death and the cchains• of dhell.
Their countenances ashone•, and the bradiance• from the presence of the Lord rested upon them, and they csang• praises unto his holy name.
I marveled, for I understood that the Savior spent about three years in his aministry among the Jews and those of the house of Israel, endeavoring to bteach them the everlasting gospel and call them unto repentance;
And yet, notwithstanding his mighty works, and miracles, and proclamation of the truth, in great apower• and authority, there were but bfew• who hearkened to his voice, and rejoiced in his presence, and received salvation at his hands.
But his ministry among those who were dead was limited to the abrief• time intervening between the crucifixion and his resurrection;
And I wondered at the words of Peter—wherein he said that the Son of God preached unto the aspirits in prison, who sometime were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah—and how it was possible for him to preach to those spirits and perform the necessary labor among them in so short a time.
And as I wondered, my eyes were opened, and my understanding aquickened•, and I perceived that the Lord went not in person among the bwicked• and the disobedient who had rejected the truth, to teach them;
But behold, from among the righteous, he aorganized his forces and appointed bmessengers, cclothed• with power and authority, and dcommissioned• them to go forth and carry the light of the gospel to them that were in edarkness, even to fall• the spirits of men; and thus was the gospel preached to the dead.
And the chosen messengers went forth to declare the aacceptable• day of the Lord and proclaim bliberty to the captives who were bound, even unto all who would crepent of their sins and receive the gospel.
Thus was the gospel preached to those who had adied• in their sins, without a bknowledge• of the truth, or in ctransgression, having drejected• the prophets.

A vision, given to President Joseph F. Smith in Salt Lake City, Utah, on October 3, 1918. In his opening address at the eighty-ninth Semiannual General Conference of the Church, on October 4, 1918, President Smith declared that he had received several divine communications during the previous months. One of these, concerning the Savior’s visit to the spirits of the dead while his body was in the tomb, he had received the previous day. It was written immediately following the close of the conference; on October 31, 1918, it was submitted to the counselors in the First Presidency, the Council of the Twelve, and the Patriarch, and it was unanimously accepted by them. 1—10, President Joseph F. Smith ponders upon the writings of Peter and our Lord’s visit to the spirit world; 11—24, He sees the righteous dead assembled in paradise and Christ’s ministry among them; 25—37, How the preaching of the gospel was organized among the spirits; 38—52, President Smith sees Adam, Eve, and many of the holy prophets in the spirit world who considered their spirit state before their resurrection as a bondage; 53—60, The righteous dead of this day continue their labors in the world of spirits.

Howbeit that he made the greater star; as, also, if there be two aspirits, and one shall be more intelligent than the other, yet these two spirits, notwithstanding one is more intelligent than the other, have no beginning; they existed before, they shall have no end, they shall exist after, for they are bgnolaum•, or eternal.
- Abr. 3: 2-23
And I saw the astars•, that they were very great, and that one of them was nearest unto the throne of God; and there were many great ones which were near unto it;
And the Lord said unto me: These are the governing ones; and the name of the great one is aKolob•, because it is near unto me, for I am the Lord thy God: I have set this one to govern all those which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest.
And the Lord said unto me, by the Urim and Thummim, that Kolob was after the manner of the Lord, according to its atimes• and seasons in the revolutions thereof; that one revolution was a bday• unto the Lord, after his manner of reckoning, it being one thousand cyears• according to the time appointed unto that whereon thou standest. This is the reckoning of the Lord’s dtime, according to the reckoning of Kolob.
And the Lord said unto me: The planet which is the lesser light, lesser than that which is to rule the day, even the night, is above or agreater• than that upon which thou standest in point of reckoning, for it moveth in order more slow; this is in order because it standeth above the earth upon which thou standest, therefore the reckoning of its time is not so many as to its number of days, and of months, and of years.
And the Lord said unto me: Now, Abraham, these atwo• facts exist, behold thine eyes see it; it is given unto thee to know the times of reckoning, and the set time, yea, the set time of the earth upon which thou standest, and the set time of the greater light which is set to rule the day, and the set time of the lesser light which is set to rule the night.
Now the set time of the lesser light is a longer time as to its reckoning than the reckoning of the time of the earth upon which thou standest.
And where these two facts exist, there shall be another fact above them, that is, there shall be another planet whose reckoning of time shall be longer still;
And thus there shall be the reckoning of the time of one aplanet above another, until thou come nigh unto Kolob, which Kolob is after the reckoning of the Lord’s time; which Kolob is set nigh unto the throne of God, to govern all those planets which belong to the same border• as that upon which thou standest.
And it is given unto thee to know the set time of all the stars that are set to give light, until thou come near unto the throne of God.
Thus I, Abraham, atalked• with the Lord, face to face, as one man talketh with another; and he told me of the works which his hands had made;
And he said unto me: My son, my son (and his hand was stretched out), behold I will show you all these. And he put his hand upon mine eyes, and I saw those things which his hands had made, which were many; and they multiplied before mine eyes, and I could not see the end thereof.
And he said unto me: This is Shinehah, which is the sun. And he said unto me: Kokob, which is star. And he said unto me: Olea, which is the moon. And he said unto me: Kokaubeam, which signifies stars, or all the great lights, which were in the firmament of heaven.
And it was in the night time when the Lord spake these words unto me: I will amultiply• thee, and thy bseed• after thee, like unto these; and if thou canst count the cnumber• of sands, so shall be the number of thy seeds.
And the Lord said unto me: Abraham, I ashow these things unto thee before ye go into Egypt, that ye may declare all these words.
If atwo• things exist, and there be one above the other, there shall be greater things above them; therefore bKolob• is the greatest of all the Kokaubeam that thou hast seen, because it is nearest unto me.
Now, if there be two things, one above the other, and the moon be above the earth, then it may be that a planet or a star may exist above it; and there is nothing that the Lord thy God shall take in his heart to do but what he will ado• it.
Howbeit that he made the greater star; as, also, if there be two aspirits, and one shall be more intelligent than the other, yet these two spirits, notwithstanding one is more intelligent than the other, have no beginning; they existed before, they shall have no end, they shall exist after, for they are bgnolaum•, or eternal.
And the Lord said unto me: These two facts do exist, that there are two spirits, one being more intelligent than the other; there shall be another more intelligent than they; I am the Lord thy God, I am amore• intelligent than they all.
The Lord thy God sent his angel to adeliver• thee from the hands of the priest of Elkenah.
I dwell in the midst of them all; I now, therefore, have come down unto thee to declare unto thee the aworks• which my hands have made, wherein my bwisdom• excelleth them all, for I crule in the heavens above, and in the earth beneath, in all wisdom and prudence, over all the intelligences thine eyes have seen from the beginning; I came down in the beginning in the midst of all the intelligences thou hast seen.
Now the Lord had shown unto me, Abraham, the aintelligences that were organized before the world was; and among all these there were many of the bnoble• and great ones;
And God saw these souls that they were good, and he stood in the midst of them, and he said: These I will make my rulers; for he stood among those that were spirits, and he saw that they were good; and he said unto me: Abraham, thou art one of them; thou wast achosen• before thou wast born.
- Abr. 5: 7-8
And the aGods• formed man from the bdust• of the ground, and took his cspirit• (that is, the man’s spirit), and put it into him; and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living dsoul.
And the Gods planted a garden, eastward in aEden, and there they put the man, whose spirit they had put into the body which they had formed.
