“For the Purpose of Interpreting Languages”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

The Urim and Thummim is one means by which the Lord can give a panoramic perspective, the means by which all things-including the evil and abominations of the day-can be made known to his servants the prophets. Thereby those prophets can clearly judge and discern good from evil and provide the necessary warning and admonition to their people.
