A Restoration Of All Things

"Zone Conference was yesterday. The title of conference was A Restoration of All Things. We just focused on some things that are becoming really weak in our mission, like the purpose and outcome of contacts and of the nightly planning sessions we are supposed to always have. So that is what I am supposed to do my trainings on for the next 6 weeks in district meeting. I am gonna enjoy it, although as of right now I have no idea what to do. I'll ponder and search the scriptures and pray for that one."

The concept of a restoration of all things is biblical and is frequently spoken of in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Peter spoke of the anticipated "times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began" (Acts 3:21). Latter-day Saints understand this as a prophetic anticipation of a full and final restoration of the gospel in the development and fulfillment of the purposes of God in the last days. The current era is therefore called the dispensation of the fulness of times in which all things will be gathered together in Christ (Eph. 1:10; D&C 27:13). The Church teaches that every gospel truth and blessing, and all priesthood authority, keys, ordinances, and covenants necessary for mankind's eternal salvation have been, or will be, restored in this dispensation. In this manner, the blessings of dispensations past will "flow into the most glorious and greatest of dispensations, like clear streams flowing into a mighty river" (DS 1:168).
