“In the Book Shall Be a Revelation from God”
In speaking of the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon, Elder Bruce R. McConkie explains: “John the Revelator saw in the hands of the Great God a book sealed with seven seals. ’It contains, ’ as our revelations tell us, ’the revealed will, mysteries, and works of God; the hidden things of his economy concerning this earth during the seven thousand years of is continuance, or its temporal existence, ’ each seal covering a period of one thousand years. As John saw, no one but the Lord Jesus—’the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David’—had power to loose these seven seals. (Revelation 5; D&C 77:6)”
