Ether Chapter 5


Chapter 5 - "...Three witnesses and the work itself will stand as a testimony of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon..."
It's interesting, because this is pretty much Moroni talking to Joseph Smith talking about the plates, their contents, and the translation.  It shows that God sees all things, from beginning to end, and that He shows these things to His servants.  We need to trust God and the prophets.


5:3 - "...And unto three shall they be shown by the power of God; wherefore they shall know of a surety that these things are true..."
In the mouth of three witness shall these things be established (2 Corinthians 13:1, Deuteronomy 19:15, 2 Nephi 11:3).  3 witnesses have a more powerful witness - so it shows the importance of sharing our testimony.


5:5 - "...And if it so be that they repent and come unto the Father in the name of Jesus, they shall be received into the kingdom of God..."
If we act in faith and repent, we can lay hold upon this blessing of being received into the kingdom of God.  There are many great blessings that come as a result of faith.
