… He said, ‘When I looked at families, there was a deficiency in some, … for I saw families that would not be permitted to come and dwell together, because they had not honored their calling here’” ( Deseret News, Dec. 10, 1856, 316–17). “He said that the people he there saw were organized in family capacities.

Kimball the organization that exists there: Grant, a counselor to Brigham Young, saw the spirit world and described to Heber C. … Every Apostle, every Seventy, every Elder, etc., who has died in the faith as soon as he passes to the other side of the veil, enters into the work of the ministry” ( Deseret News, Jan. 25, 1882, 818).įamily relationships are also important. President Wilford Woodruff taught: “The same Priesthood exists on the other side of the veil. The Church is organized in the spirit world, and priesthood holders continue their responsibilities there (see Doctrine and Covenants 138:30).

He appointed messengers, gave them power and authority, and commissioned them to “carry the light of the gospel to them that were in darkness, even to all the spirits of men” ( Doctrine and Covenants 138:30). Smith saw in a vision that immediately after Jesus Christ was crucified, He visited the righteous in the spirit world. Nevertheless, they are occupied in doing the work of the Lord. According to the prophet Alma, the righteous spirits rest from earthly care and sorrow. The prophet Alma in the Book of Mormon taught about two divisions or states in the spirit world. They were adults before their mortal existence, and they are in adult form after death, even if they die as infants or children (see Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. They have the same appetites and desires that they had when they lived on earth. Spirits carry with them from earth their attitudes of devotion or antagonism toward things of righteousness (see Alma 34:34). Spirit beings have the same bodily form as mortals except that the spirit body is in perfect form (see Ether 3:16). President Brigham Young taught that the postmortal spirit world is on the earth, around us (see Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young, 279). The spirit world consists of paradise, where the righteous dwell, and spirit prison, where those who were wicked in mortality dwell. The postmortal spirit world is a place where the spirits of those who have died live before the Resurrection.
