Speaking of the prophets of old, Nephi testified that Christ
“is God, and he is with them, and he did manifest himself unto them, that they
were redeemed by him, and they gave unto him glory, because of that which is to
come” (v. 23). We have records of
physical manifestations to some of the prophets, such as the brother of Jared
(in the book of Ether) and Moses, but to most of them the Lord’s manifestation
was different. His voice and His
influence were with them and they knew Him as our Redeemer. They all gave glory to Him for the redemption
that was to come (from their historical perspective), which redemption was the
atonement.
The Lord manifests Himself to us today through His Holy
Spirit as we seek to do His will. His
redemption is real. He deserves the
glory the prophets have given Him. We
should also give Him glory.
