Samuel the Lamanite's prophecies highlight the impending consequences for the Nephites, warning of the sword of justice that will fall in 400 years unless they embrace repentance and faith. His messages, while severe, are framed as glad tidings, suggesting that even stern warnings can be interpreted as hopeful news when viewed through the lens of the gospel, which inherently signifies good news. The term 'glad tidings' is explored in a broader context of scripture, emphasizing that the gospel embodies hope, redemption, and salvation. This paradox exists where individuals struggle to accept the glad tidings because they may involve the necessity for personal change or repentance. The call to declare glad tidings, as mentioned in various scriptures, reinforces the positive essence of the gospel despite the requirement for transformation.
If you could ask a prophet anything, what would you ask? Sister Sheri Dew reflects on her experiences working with several Church Presidents, how the Lord guides His people to the Covenant Path of Jesus Christ, and the Lord’s warning about rejecting the prophets.
