The Book of Abraham, with the facsimiles, is a unique scripture to
the Latter-day Saints. Its content is closely related to our
understanding of the Plan of Happiness. Numerous books and
publications have been written about the Egyptology and science in
the facsimiles. However, the Egyptians worshiped pagan gods. This
book is a unique attempt to consider the Prophet's "Explanations"
of the facsimiles as scripture, with a minimum of Egyptian
interference. The facsimiles teach wholesome, uplifting and divine
principles. They were received by divine revelation and were meant
to be studied by that same influence. The Prophet Joseph Smith
obtained the Egyptian papyri in July, 1835. He waited seven years
before he published his translation in 1842. This was only a few
weeks before he performed the first temple endowments in our
dispensation. Nothing sacred to the temple is discussed in this
text. However, those who make regular temple worship an important
component of their lives may have an especially insightful
understanding. The facsimiles depict events that actually happened
in the lives of the participants. The Pharaoh attempted to
sacrifice Abraham, Facsimile 1. Abraham experienced a cosmic tour
of the heavens, Facsimile 2. Shulem was sealed by the Priesthood to
his wife for time and all eternity, in an authorized temple
ceremony. He drew us a picture of it, in representative form,
Facsimile 3.
Possibly Alfred Hitchcock's most popular and elaborate film, North
by Northwest follows advertising executive Roger Thornhill's
frantic cross-country race to free himself from a false murder
charge and a mistaken identity pursuit by foreign spies. In a
series of lively, self-contained chapters geared to both film buffs
and casual viewers, the book explores all of the structural and
thematic elements that combine to make this one of the master of
suspense's most remarkable achievements. Hitchcock, Cary Grant,
Hitchcock's favorite production team and a perfect cast including
James Mason and Eva Marie Saint are celebrated at the height of
their creative talents.
El libro de Abraham, con los facsimiles, constituye una escritura
muy singular a los Santos de los ultimos dias. Aumenta
considerablemente nuestro conocimiento sobre el plan de la
felicidad. Nos ayuda a comprender nuestra vida premortal. Ilumina
la creacion de la tierra y los cielos, que fueron creados para
nosotros. Revela la magnitud y la magnificencia de la creacion. Su
contenido esta tambien relacionado con nuestra experiencia de culto
del templo. El profeta Jose Smith obtuvo los papiros egipcios en
julio de 1835, pero espero siete anos antes de que publico su
traduccion, solo unas pocas semanas antes de que realizo la primera
dotacion de templo en nuestro dispensation. Lo proporciona un medio
para el ilustrar a los Santos, en un formato de escrituras mas
completado, un breve vistazo de la experiencia de culto de hermoso
templo que pronto estarian disponible para ellos. Nada sagrado se
discute en este texto. La santidad del templo es honrada y
preservada. Este texto se proporciona de manera reverencial, una
vista escritural de los facsimiles del libro de Abraham, presentado
por el profeta Jose Smith en sus "explicaciones."
