Doctrine and Covenants 131

Doctrine and Covenants

1. 1

   In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;

2. 2

   And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage];

3. 3

   And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.

4. 4

   He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase.

5. 5

   (May 17th, 1843.) The more sure word of prophecy means a man's knowing that he is sealed up unto eternal life, by revelation and the spirit of prophecy, through the power of the Holy Priesthood.

6. 6

   It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance.

7. 7

   There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All spirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes;

8. 8

   We cannot see it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all matter.
