Mormon Dilemma 483

Netherworld

Today’s look at Joseph Smith’s translation makes me wonder if he wasn’t ready to tell his followers that his god was the god of the underworld.

Pray the Mormon will see these things and question what this means for him/her. Why would the Holy God of the Bible want you to be involved with a god of the underworld? How does this glorify Him?

9. Ought not to be revealed at the present time.

Deveria’s translation of segment 9; 

Fig. 9; “the netherworld (below the earth) and his great waters”
