Video created by the LDS Church to commemorate and celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ action in June 1978 to extend its lay priesthood to men of all races – entitled “He Inviteth Us All.” The revelation from God came quite clear from heaven to prophets and apostles of God, gathered in the upper rooms of the Salt Lake Temple. I imagine the revelatory experience was somewhat like Peter’s when he was commanded by God to take the gospel to the Gentiles, previous to which it had been taken only to the Jews (Acts 10:9-48). Surely the Lord God has His own timetable (Isa. 55:8).
Wow, that is the most powerful message on this subject that I have ever seen. The Video “Pioneers in Africa” is the only other production that even comes close. We should all remember what Bro. Gray says: that there is a sweet spirit that comes when we put race and ethnicity aside.
Another way to look at the Priesthood being extended to men who are worthy no matter what race is this. The
Lord through revelation made possible the people of Africa to hear the Gospel taught to them by men of their own
nation, and to hear it in their native tongue,fulfilling prophecies in not just the Bible,but the other Standard Works.
This is just another evidence of the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times.
Thus the temple blessings and Priesthood can be sent to all the nations,to fill the whole world like the stone mentioned in the second chapter of Daniel’s prophecy. And that the generations of men and women of all nations
can be sealed to their ancestors and posterity,as prophesied by Malachi.
