And now I will ease your mind somewhat on this subject. Behold, you marvel why these things should be known so long beforehand. Behold, I say unto you, is not a soul at this time as precious unto God as a soul will be at the time of his coming? Is it not as necessary that the plan of redemption should be made known unto this people as well as unto their children? Is it not as easy at this time for the Lord to send his angel to declare these glad tidings unto us as unto our children, or as after the time of his coming?
The logic of continuing revelation is compellingly simple. God does not change. His love for every one of his children does not diminish. People needed revelation before Christ came to know he was coming, they needed it when he came to know he had arrived, and they needed it after his death and resurrection to know what he had done. If God sent angels in the past, he will send them now, and he will continue to send them in the future. Why would anyone want to resist such simple and pleasing logic?
