February 8 — Joseph Smith: The Choice Seer, epilogue “Ours is the song of praise to the man ordained from eternity past to part the veil and open the heavens, for through him the fulness of truth and the fulness of priesthood powers have come to earth again.” — Robert L. Millett, Joseph Fielding McConkie

Matthew 27:51 “And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent.”
_____
The veil represented a separation between God and man. When it was ripped in two it symbolized that the shedding of Jesus’ blood was the atonement for man’s sin.
It also spoke to the fact that we have direct access to the Father –
John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
See GotQuestions.org for more info.
To imply the parting of the veil had anything to do with Joseph Smith is nothing of blasphemy.
This church has gone out of its way to divert attention away from one of the most incredible events in the history of the world.
Pray for Mormons to see how blasphemous this theory is and share the truth today! the Mormon you know may not have read the book mentioned above but the Church talks about Smith as if he’s a savior.
With Love in Christ —
