Martin Harris's Quest for Witness
Martin Harris's journey evolves from seeking to borrow the manuscript of the Book of Mormon to adamantly insisting on seeing the golden plates themselves. This shift is highlighted after a challenging period for Martin, marked by his wife's lawsuit against Joseph Smith, which brings forth doubts and requests that seem more audacious than before. The texts suggest that Joseph Smith's process of obtaining heavenly confirmation about the plates remains ongoing, and the Lord emphasizes the need for repentance and humility on Martin’s part before he can receive a view of the plates. This narrative illustrates the significant internal struggles of both Martin and Joseph, as they grapple with doubts while maintaining their faith in their respective roles during this pivotal time.
