“The Disciples of Jesus Had Formed a Church of Christ in All the Lands Round About and the People Were All Converted Unto the Lord, Upon All the Face of the Land”

Ed J. Pinegar, Richard J. Allen

Following the ministry of the resurrected Lord, the mighty change that has taken place in the hearts of His listeners prevails and is experienced by many others throughout the land. It is as if a great wave of illuminating truth expands outward from the temple grounds at Bountiful to encompass the whole land. Within two years, this wave of spiritual enlightenment and conversion includes everyone—without exception. It is a miracle of profound historical significance, a preview of what will happen in the wake of the Second Coming after the earth is cleansed to inaugurate an era of glory and truth where all will have saving knowledge, “for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (2 Nephi 21:9; 30:15; Isaiah 11:9; Habakkuk 2:14; D&C 84:98).
