Today, as part of my daily Scripture reading, I read D&C 76, alongside D&C 93, is my favourite section of the Doctrine and Covenants. This
revelation shows us that, notwithstanding the promise of robust deification in
Latter-day Saint theology, we will always be subjected to, and never
independent of, God the Father:
And saw the holy angels, and them who are
sanctified before his throne, worshipping God, and the Lamb, who worship him
forever and ever. (D&C 76:21)
These shall dwell in the presence of God
and his Christ forever and ever. (D&C 76:62)
And thus we saw the glory of the
celestial, which excels in all things--where God, even the Father, reigns upon
his throne forever and ever. Before whose throne all things bow in humble
reverence, and give him glory forever and ever. (D&C 76:92-93)
Then shall he be crowned with the crown of
his glory, to sit on the throne of his power to reign forever and ever.
(D&C 76:108)
And heard the voice of the Lord saying:
These all shall bow the knee, and every tongue shall confess to him who sits
upon the throne forever and ever. (D&C 76:110)
And to God and the Lamb be glory, and
honor, and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (D&C 76:119)
