“I Am He Who Was Prepared from the Foundation of the World”
Joseph Smith said: “At the first organization in heaven we were all present, and saw the Savior chosen and appointed and the plan of salvation made, and we sanctioned it” (Teachings, p. 181). Jehovah was the chief proponent of the Eternal Father’s plan for the salvation of the human family. He was chosen and ordained to come to earth as Savior and Redeemer, while the amendatory offering of Lucifer was rejected by God (see Moses 4:1-4; Abraham 3:22-28).
