46 Behold, I say unto you they are made known unto me by the Holy Spirit of God. Behold, I have fasted and prayed many days that I might know these things of myself. And now I do know of myself that they are true; for the Lord God hath made them manifest unto me by his Holy Spirit; and this is the spirit of revelation which is in me.
47 And moreover, I say unto you that it has thus been revealed unto me, that the words which have been spoken by our fathers are true, even so according to the spirit of prophecy which is in me, which is also by the manifestation of the Spirit of God.
48 I say unto you, that I know of myself that whatsoever I shall say unto you, concerning that which is to come, is true; and I say unto you, that I know that Jesus Christ shall come, yea, the Son, the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace, and mercy, and truth. And behold, it is he that cometh to take away the sins of the world, yea, the sins of every man who steadfastly believeth on his name.
Can there be more beautiful words?
I love that we have Alma's (the warrior and prophet) beautiful testimony!
I can imagine this testimony given over an ancient pulpit.
How could all the heavenly hosts possibly not be affected by this prophet's words? I am profoundly moved, and I'm reading it over 2,000 years later. Imagine if I heard these words come out of Alma's own mouth at the time that he said them?
I'm glad the Spirit is good traveling through pages and over time and space.
This testimony is so ponderously beautiful.
