Book of Mormon Commentary
3 Nephi Chapter 11
The wicked and the proud will not be able to stand, "but unto you that fear my name, shall the Son
of righteousness arise with healing in his wings" (III N. 11 :22, 23)
3 Ne 11:26 Behold, I will send you Elijah, the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day
of the Lord;
He is the same as Elias in the New Testament. Matthew's Gospel identifies him as John the
Baptist, the forerunner of the Christ (Matt. 17:10, 11). In the latter days he will be sent again as the
restorer of all things (D. and C. 26:2 b) .Under the hands of an angel, who identified himself as
John the Baptist, Joseph Smith, Jr., and Oliver Cowdery were ordained to the Aaronic priesthood
(D. and C. 26:2 c, d; Church History, Vol. 1, pp. 34-36).
Jesus went on to "expound all things, even from the beginning until the time that he should come
in his glory" (III N. 11:30). Then he talked of the time of the end when the earth shall be changed,
"even until the elements should melt with fervent heat" (31). This is to be followed by the “last
day, when all people," kindreds, nations, and tongues "shall stand before God, to be judged of
their works" (32). The righteous are to be resurrected to everlasting life, while evildoers go to the
resurrection of damnation (33). (See comments on A. 19:28.)
