In a conference held at Provo City, Utah Territory, in the year 1867, in the bowery, on the northwest corner of the now Provo Commercial Bank block, President Brigham Young, in the course of a sermon he was delivering to the people, made the following prophecy: "Brethren, this Church will be led onto the very brink of hell by the leaders of this people, then God will raise up the one `Mighty and Strong' (Spoken of in the 85th Section of the Doctrine & Covenants) to save and redeem this Church." The sending of this one "Mighty and Strong" the Lord has purposed for the salvation of the honest in heart among his people, and to be the initiative to bring about the great blessing the Lord has in reserve to cause the poor, the lame, the deaf, and the blind to rejoice.p8riot wrote: ↑October 4th, 2022, 7:34 pmReference please.CMajor wrote: ↑October 2nd, 2022, 8:53 pm At a conference held in Provo city, Utah Territory, April in 1867 in the bowry President Brigham Young in the course of his sermon, made the following prophecy: Brethren, this church will be led onto the very brink of hell by the leaders of this people, then God will raise up one mighty and strong, spoken of in the 85th section of Doctrine & Covenants.
