This is an unusual statement: typically the scriptures or the prophets speak of “the redemption and the resurrection” as blessings. However, in the present text, Jacob speaks of the awful consequences of redemption and resurrection that will be enjoined upon the rebellious. He warns that those who reject the prophets, deny the good word of Christ quench the Spirit, and make a mock of the plan of redemption-then the very powers and plan which they spurned shall be the power and plan by which they shall be damned.
Though such persons shall be redeemed from physical death through the resurrection, their redemption is limited to a lesser glory, power, and dominion than that fulness enjoyed by the obedient. Those who have been ashamed in mortality to align themselves with righteousness shall, at the time of judgment, stand alone in the nakedness of their doings before him of whom they were ashamed (see Mark 8:38).
