Three Layers of D&C 25
- D&C 25 is a landmark revelation directed to Emma Smith, offering unique insights.
- It has three interpretive layers: a message to Emma, to all women, and to the Church as the bride of Christ.
Atonement and Womanhood
- God uses motherhood and childbirth imagery to explain the Atonement's power.
- Women uniquely teach atonement through their experiences with water, blood, and pain turning to joy.
Temple Symbolism
- Temples, often built with sun, moon, and star imagery, symbolize the woman/bride of Christ.
- Honoring womanhood honors the atonement, as seen in Lamoni embracing his wife after his vision.
