(Really emphasize this section)
We live in some amazing times. The dispensation of the fullness of times. Quotes from Elder Nelson:
Priesthood authority has existed in many dispensations, such as those of Adam, Noah, Enoch, Abraham, Moses, the meridian of time, the Jaredites, the Nephites, and others. All previous dispensations were limited in time, as each ended in apostasy. They were also limited to small segments of planet Earth. In contrast, our dispensation-the dispensation of the fullness of times-will not be limited in time or place. Globally, it will host a whole, complete, and perfect union, welding together dispensations, keys, powers, and glories from the days of Adam even to the present time.[1][2]
[Abrahamic] covenant has been divinely renewed in this dispensation as part of the restoration of all things (see D&C 124:58)[3]
Abrahamic covenant given to Joseph Smith. D&C 132:30-31. Restoration of all things. ``The Book of Mormon is tangible evidence that the restoration and gathering of Israel has begun.''[1]
In our holy temples, we literally receive those blessings once promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.[3]
You are here because you are covenant Israel--you heard the voice![1]
